Here's mine right when I built it. I've since switched it to a SRAM
Brifter and Force RD. It's still 1x10. I often run Bon Jon Pass slicks on
it, for full roadie configuration. I did a 200k brevet on it last year.
Thanks for the photo and details.
I don’t think stack will be an issue. It’s obvious made for swept back
riser bars (ie Ortho, Bosco, Albatross, etc). Handlebars look about level
with the saddle in the picture. I personally have my Romanceur set up with
about 1” drop (with Albatross). .
I’m
None of your 7 considerations calls for switching your brakes. If you're
satisfied with the v-brakes you currently have, don't change them.
To switch them out, depending on what you currently have, you may need new
levers, new cables/housing, new cantis, front cable stop, lots of fiddling
Thank you for sharing the Philly Bike Expo stories. I too liked the Carbon
Guy story. He probably is telling folks about the Steel ladies he sat with
and I wonder if he is rethinking his bike??? Doubt it but maybe he will
give steel a try! Leah, you have a gift of writing! I feel like I was
Oh, and yes, there is a silly build mistake on this bike where my cable
stops are upside down. I know, I know... but I'm rebuilding it soon
anyways, so I'm just living with it.

And thank you Dave for tracking that down! It looks like a lot of fun for
certain rides. I Think Keith is right about the steel blades.

Such great stories and pics! I love Pam and The Carbon Guy, I could picture
the whole thing and hear it in Pam's voice, so delicious
You're so right about kickstands, I pulled mine off the custom for a while
in a ridiculous journey towards "make it lighter" and it was sheer misery.

Actually, it looks to me like steel blades in an aluminum crown - not
unlike the bontrager composite forks that were popular upgrades in the
early 90s. I kind of dig it. To each his own but I also really like the
dropouts. Reminds me of sturdy bmx forks - as well as early klunker
upgrade
What Pam is not telling you is that I would have to figure out how to do it from her 2007 Apple iPod, with its geriatric operating system, lol! I did do a mini Instagram takeover of her account but gave up fairly soon because it was 1 am and also because it was WORK to post from that device! Pam,
I have pictures but Leah will need to tell me how to post them. And I'm at
the airport. Somehow I slept ok b/c I was so tired from the prior days.
So much fun!

Scandalous? Perhaps. Or not.
I asked Will and he cannot get the seat high enough, so biking on those
“sucks the fun out of biking” city bikes hurt his knees with the saddle too
low, and one of those bikes in the video
You should come! Philly is less than 2 hours and only $35.
I got there early via Amtrak Keystone ( that train does take bikes), saw
the capitol (OMG over the top opulence), the PA museum ( wish I had more
time), walked around downtown and the park. Great coffee at Denim Coffee,
twice. It
Unfortunately there are no details yet, just teasers. Supposed to be
something like the purple M2 specialized he’s been riding but with 27.5 up
to 2.6” tire and some tweaks he thinks will make it better. My favorite
rides are mountain goating around and having to carry through sections.
Thank you, Roberta and Leah. Looks like all of you had a blast!

I haven’t heard of the Ronnie aluminum ATB. Any details you can post? A

Yes, absolutely scandalous Leah! What a fun time you all had. Thank you
very much for taking the time to share the adventure in your inimitable way!
I bet you've inspired many of us who didn't attend this year to be present
and accounted for in 2023. See ya then:-)

On Monday,
Back when cyclocross race bikes had rim brakes, the mullet
retro-front/touring-back was a preferred set-up so that the retros would't
stab the rider when they had the bike on their shoulder. I've always just
copied this stylistically when setting a bike up this way - just to try to
be cool.
I am also running Motolites on my Gus (54cm) and have a full 1cm of clearance from the brake cable on the front, and 7mm on the rear. 27.5x2.5 Ehlines. With that tight of a tolerance, I’d probably need to consult with someone who has real experience with a particular tire / same brake setup before
Great looking Gus! The XR2 is a great tire. They were sold out everywhere
when I picked up the Ehline or I’d gave probably gone for them. I’d love to
have a full cm of rear clearance between my brake. With the 2.5 Ehline and
a DXR I have 3mm tops with the rubber brake noodle in place. I have
Appaloosa has now sold and I decided to hang on to the Sam. FS post on the

I'll leave the long narrative to Leah, but I loved meeting everyone.
Besides the group above, I met John S, Jamie from Washington DC who had the
fanciest Clem L ever in the beautiful RBW blue! He even had lugged stem!
