I meant that while I cannot say I've experienced what Jan calls "planing,"
I have experienced bikes that make me (consistently, over extended periods
of ridership) make me want to use a smaller cog, and those that seem at

I'm confused about your 'planning" discussion. Was the 60 C-C Liberatas
the planning bike??I thought all Rivendellls used OS main tubes (they
may be thin wall but still OS). Maybe the Liberatas was an exception, but

A Clementine is always good, now and forever! I think yours will nobly serve
you, Mas. And yes, you should also have the Platypus. I mean, that’s exactly
