I am cleaning the garage and find myself long one workstand. Free for
pick-up, a basic, old, Park PCS-1. Folding legs, spring-operated clamp

Excellent point, Joe! Thanks. I happen to have a 2016 Appaloosa 51 to
compare.
By my measurements, the effective top tube center to center are Appaloosa
57 and Bubbe 58.5. Both fit me at 5’7” and an 82 PBH. The Bubbe is a
slightly bigger, better fit for me. I like the zippy feel of the

Yes Patrick, I remember a particularly windy Spring ride with you and Tarik
and a few others on the Bosque trail. We were assaulted by huge tumbleweeds
on the way downstream, but on the way back the wind had shifted just enough
to be fully behind us and gave us a mighty boost for the uphill

Duh, you don't use chain tugs with horizontals, just with track ends, but
you know what I mean: hex nuts and even assiduously tightened wingnuts are
secure under the modestly agressive honking of a 170-lb male.

BTW, I will add that chain tugs are not at all necessary for secure axle
placement in long horizontal dropouts or track ends; hex nuts are very
secure, and I've found that even wingnuts, hand tightened, keep axles in
place under my preferred high-torque/low rpm pedaling with just sufficient
effort
SA still makes 3-speed hubs with OL spacing to fit a 120 mm OL frame; at
least the chart shows a model for 116 mm OL spacing which with the proper
anti-rotation washers between locknuts and inside face of dropouts would
fit the QB perfectly.

Hi Val,
I'm thinking the list will want to know how to size this (whether it's a
more Roadini or Appaloosa 51cm). Can you tell us the effective toptube?
Holy moly that's a pretty bike! ❤️

TL:DR - went in to remove a seized stem, my LBS tried to get at the stem
from below by removing the wheel.
At some point in the process the Pitlock skewer in my front wheel snapped.
It was then discovered that the rest of the skewer is frozen inside the
hub, and now I need a new wheel.

Hey Paul,
According to the product page, it is 60mm from bottom of the stem to the
center of the clamp, and by my measurements about 3 3/16" inches/~80mm from
the bottom all the way to the top of stem. So I think 60mm would be your
minimum.
How much steer tube does this require above the headset?
I think it might work on my Boulder All Road.

If Tektro long reach R559 sidepulls are not long enough, Dia-Compe/Weinmann
750 centerpulls are a touch longer. Weinmann also had a 810 sidepull
