I think Greg is actually referring to the SS model, which is an early Ibis bike, as opposed to meaning single speed. As someone with a couple of Scorchers, I will only say that the one thing that is more fun than an Ibis Scorcher is a Willits Scorcher with Schwalbe 2.35" Big Ones. Fixed and

Re: [RBW] Saddle height and BPH

Standover is generally a non-issue and should be of limited consideration for fit purposes, all things being equal. I do believe your saddle height has been very low based on the fact that I have an 83cm PBH and run a height of 72cm. The Riv guidance looks to be within expected range.

All good! You are on the right track. As Scott stated earlier, you can likely even go lower with the spec of 110-113mm and I am sure I am running a touch shorter on mine just for the reduced Q and good chainlink for gears I use. BTW great cranks you have and love the finish on them. I have

Jim: Correct, however if you see the original post, he is running 42/32/22 which is not compatible with 110/74bcd. Until I see otherwise or those gear numbers change, we have to assume he is really running the Compact 94/58 Ritchey Logic and 110-113mm is the correct recommend. His issue

If you look for a good condition old stock XT M737 or LX M563 you should have a perfect match for your ring sizes, a small/short enough cage to not hit the stays and enough range for the triple. I am currently using this setup with a 110/74 Ritchey Triple that I run with a Phil ~119mm BB. But

Own a wide selection of Road Runner bags and they have been my go to for the last 5 years for sure. Burrito bags, tool rolls, backpacks. All great stuff! Don't miss the Comrad lightweight packable backpack. I bike everywhere and travel everywhere with that packable bag. Folds up and can

Correct. DT Swiss TK 7.1 rims. The precursor to the TK540. I have the same DT240/TK540 combo on one of my Rosco Bubbe's. Great Wheelset is really an understatement. On Friday, November 25, 2022 at 3:16:11 PM UTC-6 Mr. Ray wrote: > Congratsyour rims look like DT Swiss TK540 (double
