Re: [RBW] 650b Atlantis Pic on the BLUG

Joe, I think the Crust Romanceur is the closest you can get to a Disc Atlantis. Here is their description from their site. $1275 f/f. I have been looking at this and the new VO Polyvalent 650b as a disc option. The new Polyvalent will be out in the spring at $725 f/f. The Romanceür frame

[RBW] Panaracer Gravelking 650b - reviews - experience

Trying to decide on tires for a new build. This bike would be used as an everything bike but mostly on road riding. They come in 38, 42 and 48 sizes. I'm looking for a less expensive alternative to Compass that has better flat protection since I will be commuting on this bike. Anyone had any

[RBW] Re: Thoughts/considerations for Clem as daily do-it-all bike?

You should take a day trip to Portland. I think that Rivelo might still have some in stock. I think the 52 would fit you fine. The Clem is great for any riding when you don't care about how fast you need to get there. For me that is about 98% of my riding. On Thursday, October 26, 2017 at
