Agreed. Those XA cameras were the best. I owned two and they each died when the shutter button stopped working. I think this was a common problem. Still, if I ever got back into pocket 35mm photography I’d look for a good one. The Olympus Stylus Epic was a sort of spiritual follow up to that

Re: [RBW] Re: Stack and reach of 55 sizes of Appaloosa and (current) Sam?

Yes. The center of the BB, and the center of the top of the head tube. It’s a useful system to compare different bikes, together with head tube and seat tube angles. You can compare the bikes on graph paper. Or, it’s not hard to create a Photoshop file with a scaled photo of your bike, and

Re: [RBW] Re: What frame and build set make you a safer, slower rider?

I like Justin’s suggestion of the AHH. Or maybe the Atlantis, MIT, as I would fit in the 650b range for both. Thanks everyone. I’ve been mulling over a frame for almost a year now, and it’s funny how different life circumstances along the way have changed it all. Good thing I’m not wealthy...

Thanks Chris for the advice. I’m guessing that you were straddling a 58cm, which has roughly an 85cm standover, with 32ish-mm tires. Although with shoes on, I’d think you’d be able to at least stand over that bike. > On Feb 19, 2018, at 9:46 PM, Christopher Murray

But weren’t there also “56” Sams (700c wheels) with 57.5 effective measurement, single top tubes? “55” and “56”... I hesitate to ask, but does that refer to the seat tube measurement, c-to-top, right? If not, how does one get that measurement if it’s not on the geo chart? On Sat, Feb 17,

I have indeed search around for a 56 Sam with the shorter top tube. (I had a WTB post a little while back.) But I’m not really counting on one showing up, hence my decision point between the 55 and 58 sizes. John > On Feb 16, 2018, at 11:46 AM, Surlyprof wrote: > >
