Tony,
That looks like a great way to start the morning. As you know, I make my
coffee at home and bring it in a thermos, but the brewing on site looks
fun. I am also a bit pedestrian in my coffee tastes, preferring 7-11
coffee to Starbucks on most days.
Hopefully you will get your hands
Nice bike, great pictures. The bullmoose bars should rock for trail
cruising. Throw a basket on, and it'd be a good beer run bike, too.
Thanks for the detail shots; I can see that the frame of my KOM is almost
identical. Same lugs, same cable braze-ons, same tubing, same chainstays.
Same seat

I've got a couple ideas for cargo. I might do a rear rack for a light

Does your KOM have a level top tube, or is it a sloper? The Paramountain

This is really good news! Part of the reason I wanted to explore
switching to 26 wheels was that my 700c bike doesn't have clearance for
29'er tires and the nano was a tire of particular interest. I think they

Now I'm sold on the 26 wheel size
Why don't you wait for a future 650b single speed from RBW and enjoy your
700c RBW single speed that you have now.
You can sell it to raise funds for the next RBW 650b single speed release.
But once you alter the posts, I think you will be devaluing the resale
value of the bike.

Coffee and bicycles. Two good subjects that go great together.
I have a small Hario and a collapsible cone filter holder for the road.
Usually I am a 1/21/2 person but go black on the bike.
Cold-brewed coffee is another option. Basically you cold brew an extract
then you add hot water to dilute
narrower version of the 2.1 version with some tread mods. The 2.1 version
is available in both 26 and 700c and was the tire of choice for long dirt
road rides like the Great Divide route. Pretty fast on pavement for a
knobby too.
Tricky situation for sure.
I say if you want to mod your bike to make it fit your vision then go for
it. If you're having Bilenky do the work it will be as nice or likely
better finished than new, so bonus.
I have struggled greatly with the wheel size conundrum. Tires are a big
part of that.
Do the Nanos measure true to stated size? IIRC my AllTerrainasarus measued
a bit small. But even if 38mm, a good alternative if you want something a
touch more agressive than MSOs but still good on the road. These have me
pretty excited. If they can handle high pressure, I'd put them on my
the 2.1 Nano's measure at about 49-50mm depending on rim width. The
gravel bike thing is churning out a few interesting tires. A good thing
IMO.

If the next SimpleRiv is 650b I'll buy it.
SimpleOnes have un drilled brake bridges.
The lower BB is really low. Seems like a bad choice with wide pedals.
