My 51 cm 650b w the Tektro side-pulls runs the 41-ish Fatty Rumpkins right
now.
I am curious if the Paul Racers would allow me to go bigger as well.

I think the reason people are so excited about the Hillborne’s is that they
resemble something of a more mainstream bike. I realize it’s not entirely
true, but it seems like for several months, the only bikes you could buy
from Riv had insanely long chain stays or were all step-thru mixtes.
Well-spoken, Andy.
And congratulations, Leah!

Well, I’m definitely loving it so far. For all the “small differences” I
