I am selling my 1999 LongLow. It no longer fits me comfortably, and after three
years of trying to make it work I've given up.
I was unable to find someone willing to trade their Atlantis frameset so now
I'm simply selling it.

I'm putting it out there one more time.
I will swap my 55cm square LongLow (built in 1999 by Joe Starck) for yur 53cm

swap if it makes sense for both of us.

I have tried to ride and enjoy my '99 LongLow. Each time I come home less happy
than before. The truth is that I am totally burned out on 700c wheels, and on
the feel of this frame (which, due to multiple factors including the aging
process, no longer fits or rides the way it used to).

both their tread and their compound this last year). It also

After reading Jan's article about fatter tires in the latest BQ, I decided to
try it on my All-Rounder. I'd gotten this frameset about three years ago and
built it up with drop bars. (Although the height of the frame was a little
short for my legs, the top tube was the right length for drops.)
Heading over to the Pedal Nation show Sunday (tomorrow) at the Oregon
Convention Center. Riding The Rivvy. Will get there around opening time (10
am). Any Riv riders wanna meet up?

I got a set of these and discovered that they confine my feet too much. Not as
much as Power Grips, but more than I care for. Apparently, I am doomed to a
life of pedaling on naked, flat pedals, because my knees just go All Over The

When I ordered my 1999 Custom LongLow, I knew a few things at the time:
--I wanted to be able to run 32mm tires with fenders;
--I wanted long-reach side-pull brakes because I was still a young mechanic and
fund them easier to adjust out on the road than cantis;
--The bike would be a rear-loader.
I have two Brand New, left-handed Dura-Ace bar-end shiters with cables and
housing.
