Is said bike still traveling with you Jim? I converted 88 cm to inches.
Having a 90.5 PBH, that leaves to little clearance for the uh, gentlemen,
and leaves me out of the running. Dang cool bike! Great talking with you on
Saturday and wish you good journeys on the remainder of your holiday.
these are a great color. I've got one that shares time with my BMC
monstercross. Really a nice, light, fast bike and it seems like everyone
who sees it comments on the color. I run 38 Gravel Kings that are wonderful
tires.

Beautiful bike!
I used to have one and regret selling it. Of course with my arthritis I
probably couldn't ride it

I’d get this in a heartbeat, if I didn’t already have a shiny green “French

Bump: price listed includes delivery from me to California buyer in August,
with no unboxing. I’d just hand over the bike. Or make offer.
I have additional photos sendable to anyone interested.

Hi Mike,
Standover is just under 88 cm with the Panaracer 700x37s on the bike.

The Cambium is great but it took me a while to dial it in. It's a very
different set up from a B-17 which, for me, involves making sure the nose and
rear are dead level. The Cambium worked for me when the bottom of the nose was
just above level with the ground. Before I had it dialed it was

I like brifters, I just don't like how expensive they are and how prone to
failure they are.

Although I hate the term brifters, I guess I'm forced to use it since I can no
longer call them STI and have people know what they mean. I'm on my original
pair of 105s, which are about as old as RBW. Granted, I never did the mileage
that most here do. I managed to take one apart and remove
I'm slowly moving over to the brifter-side. So convenient having them right
there where I'm already placing my hands. But I don't know if I would
actually buy some for a bike they weren't already on. It seems like they
are pretty temperamental and quick to wear as well. Almost a consumable
How do you like the cambium? Is it very flexy?

I happened to have the fenders off and played around with a few tires. I've
always wondered what I could fit in back (front clearance is greater). I
think I found the limit with a 700x40 (38mm casing, 41.5mm knobs):

Interesting!
I've been running a Clement X'Plor MSO 700x40 on the front of my canti-Rom;
thus far I've been running a 700x35 Ritchey Speedmax on the rear, to ensure
clearance, but have been wanting to see if the MSO would fit back there, too

You should be fine. I used grub screws in the fender mounts to keep the
gunk out without cutting into my clearance.
How do like the MSOs? They've been on my radar for when my stash of Mythos
slicks runs dry. Having lived in Missoula, I'm partial to the name, too!

Were these built for more tire clearance (longer fork blades, higher
chainstay bridge) than the sidepull ones? Or is everything the same
except for the presence of canti posts? Just wondering.

A miscommunication with Toyo lead to cantis in the batch, and Rivendell decided
to go with it.

I am helping a friend who is interested in purchasing a used

says for most smaller/av riders its PBH minus around 25 to get frame

I'm 5'11 with PBH of 89.5 and ride a 61cm AHH with 35mm tires and a
