2023-07-08 Thread Ryan
Not to complicate anything, but basis 2023 specs, the MIT Atlantis seems to take the same maximum ~55m tire size. The current spec sheet says the Appaloosa tops out at 60cm; the Atlantis 62cm, so maybe the frame size of your Appaloosa is the issue? https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1403/7343/f

It's nice that these saddles are being made again. My 3rd 73/74 Peugeot PX-10 bought in 1981 came with an Ideale 90 saddle; sometimes these bikes specced the Brooks Professional, which my first 2 had and sometimes the Ideale. Mine got caught in the rain numerous times and at one point, when my

Nice X0-1; it's in lovely shape. To the OP: As I've advocated often, Albastache or Moustache bars might work and you can keep your road levers. You could flip them so they're higher if the usual configuration doesn't work. But there is certainly a dizzying array of alternatives for drop bars
