Wow..when I look at that list,
I have a near new condition MB-2 Comp. Just put some super fat rubber on,
that barely fits. The original Ritchey tires still hold up okay but they
are a little on the skinny side for roots and rocks.

Riv influence/similarity.

I've owned 3, one of which I still own.
I purchased a 62cm Rambouillet complete from Coventry Cycles (Portland, OR)
in May of 2007. In the fall of 2008 I purchased an A. Homer Hilsen. In
March of 2010 I purchased a Quickbeam. I sold the Rambouillet in 2011 and
the Quickbeam earlier this year.
3. A 53 Romulus I sold when I (mistakenly) thought I was converting to
recumbents forever. A 54 Hilsen which was a little too tall for my
aging/shrinking bones. I now have a 52 Saluki which I'm building with rear
derailer/7-speed and and FSA Patterson 2-speed front transmission.
