Thanks Phil!
Yeah, my rim is 20mm on the inside and 27mm on the outside and the tire
measures 50mm. One SV14 blew at around 48 psi, one survived ;) A Michelin
"tank" tube replaced the other.
Unfortunately one tire is a complete banana, very poorly crafted, maybe by an
intern or so. Which
I’d be in. Great idea.

It's all about bottom bracket height and seat tube angle.
Riv says they need at least 20 people to commit to buying a Hubbuh before
they'll be able to justify an order. 25 committed orders would be even
better. They're close; but only 17 folks have committed.

Here's a non-Rivendellian solution: a dropper seatpost.
They're popular with MTB types in order to lower the seat while
aggressively riding (in the standing position) and quickly raise it back
once you want to sit down.
You could lower the seat before you stop, and raise it again when you start

I think Rivendell and Grant are actually pretty forward about raising the

minutes helping me get a proper height on my Mercian, raising it 2-3
centimeters. So not so much a Racer thing as just a fact of riding bikes,

Will stopping, dismounting and standing with one foot on the ground,
sort of half-sitting on the top tube with the other leg, cramp you up?
I see people do it, but in my experience keeping your butt on the saddle
while poking a leg out as a prop is a recipe for disaster.

Ha! That would answer the issue, wouldn’t it, Steve. Grin. On a Rivendell or
other standard frame, the seat would need to be quite low to accomplish what
you’re talking about, Marty. Likely prohibitively low.

Lots depending on the flavor of bob-sh you're looking for.
- Harris Cyclery (Newton) is your pure bob-ish experience - sells and
stocks Rivs, Gunnars, dynamo stuff, lots of Brooks bits.
- Broadway Bicycle (Cambridge) school is your new-school Surly, Crust,
worker-owned bob-ish shop
* Harris over in West Newton (as noted above) is a must. There’s a great BBQ
restaurant around the corner (Blue Ribbon BBQ) if you’re into that sort of
thing.
* Cambridge Bicycle is just over the bridge in Kendall Square. They have a ton
of cool Swift, Nitto and Fairweather stuff.
