Thanks, Jeff! I took a pretty long photography break but I'm starting to feel the itch again. I have a hard time simply taking pictures of my rides, it turns into going on rides to take pictures which for me, isn't the point of riding. I think that's the great thing about film cameras since

[RBW] Re: Susie's Limits

IMO if the weight difference between a Susie and a Gus is as small as Rivendell says and there is no ride difference as stated by Rivendell and this is really a problem then they would only sell the Gus. The Susie is still a robust frame. I think most of the "get this if you weigh less"

I see three 64oz bottles and what appears to be a 36 or 40oz bottle. So, if they were full of liquid, and accounting for the weight of the bottles themselves, you're looking at approx. 20 lbs. just in that area of the bike alone. I'm no engineer, but that seems like a lot of excess weight to me
