Thanks! Got the 54mm pads on my last order. Just haven't installed them yet. Will do that post-haste. Like you, am a large person and wouldn't mind these brakes having a touch more stopping power, although over the years have gotten to where I don't ride past my ability to stop. (Did briefly th

Thanks John. I think it's an albastache bar. I got it years ago to try on my hunq, but much preferred my albatross bars. I wanted to try to build this frame with PLA (parts laying around) and these are what I had. I'm not sure if they'll remain or if I'll just put albatross bars on the Atlanti

1. 26" Cliffhanger wheel set with XT hubs. All black color. Built by Rich Lesnik. I bought these for the MIT Atlantics that I rode for less than 200 miles. Since I sold that frame last year, these have been sitting in the garage. Practically new condition. I'm not sure how

John, Beautiful build! Did you choose an Albastache bar or a Moustache bar? Hard for me to tell from this angle. John On Wednesday, July 7, 2021 at 7:08:25 PM UTC-7 John Rinker wrote: > Several months ago, a gentleman named NC Tom passed along a beautiful 64cm > Toyo Atlantis to me. As I

Hey Matthew, Please post of photo of your build; I'd love to see it and a description of how you got your double crank to play nicely with the sweet s-bends. The crankset on mine is a triple Shimano XT from the early 90s. I'd like a bigger ring than 42, but it's what I had laying around and bi

Eric, they are Riv recommended Kool Stop E-bike brake pads (73mm, but they come in 54mm too). Excellent pads! All part of my ongoing schemes and attempts to simulate the power of v-brakes on my side pull r559 brakes. I’m ready to have someone weld on some v-brake posts for that strong-enough-to

This bike was bought by a Yale student from a CT owner. Paid much much less than he is asking. Not sure of the Wilbury geometry, cannot find it in and searches. On Friday, July 9, 2021 at 11:39:45 AM UTC-4 co...@headlamppictures.com wrote: > > https://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/bik/d/new-yo

Thanks! Hmm. That gives me some other tire ideas. What else are folks using for 700x45c tires? Don't have a lot of options near me, so what to see what others are using. Also, Abe, what are those brake pad holders? Looks like larger mountain bike one on the Tektro 559. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN
