Oh, I see compass has a naches pass ~44mm -- I think that pretty much solves my problem. It'd be interesting to know if it can fender a 52-54mm tire though. On Wednesday, 8 November 2017 01:48:01 UTC-8, Sky Coulter wrote: > > Looking to buy one soon for my wife. Just wondering if anyo

[RBW] 46cm appa clearance

Looking to buy one soon for my wife. Just wondering if anyone who owns one has fendered a rat trap pass w reasonable clearance? I’m trying to decide what tires to build around. I’d be happy w anything 40-50mm ish. Thanks, Sky in new west -- You received this message because you are

What seems like the deal of the year to me. No relation to the sale, I'm just hoping one of you buy it so I can quit trying to rationalize having a saluki, an appaloosa, a romulus and a clementine. https://portland.craigslist.org/nco/bik/d/rivendell-atlantis/6353223520.html Sky in new west

[RBW] Re: Saluki.

Hugh, I'm not sure how much difference there is between the 56cm 650b hilsen and a 56cm saluki. I was under the impression the geometry was the same and that the 650b hilsen's are just kind of rebadged salukis. Sky in new west On Wednesday, 27 September 2017 23:52:59 UTC-7, Hugh Smitham

Re: [RBW] Roadini Gray vs Blue?

The roadini actually inspired me to pull my romulus frameset out of the closet and build it up without fenders or racks. Other than loosing my chain on a shakedown ride today, i couldn't be happier with it. That said if i was buying a roadini, it'd be the grey fer sure. Love it w the old style

Re: [RBW] 59 vs. 52 Clem L

Ya, I guess the stack and reach between the 61cm Atlantis and the XL Romanceur are just about identical. Only the SO is higher on the crust. If it was a bit lower I'd definitely be tempted by one. Not that I need another bike. And honestly, My Appaloosa does all that I could hope for and I
