Which bars ? .. anything goes... and you don't have to limit yourself to one set-up only as you have multiple bars. Don't let your imagination stop you! I'm likely to run fat knobbies as well, but use an Albatross bar simply because for me, the wrist position is perfect, like a natural

Paul - I've got another thread going about MY green 64 Bomb. It hasn't arrived yet, but I'll bet mine is greener! Are you planning to ride mostly off-road? You will get a lot of attention with what will look like a dinosaur, I am sure. On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 5:03 PM, Paul Sanders

I'd be very interested to see photos of a Bombadil sized for a just-sub-six-foot-tall rider and built with very fat (60 mm) tires, particularly whether the frame has room for fenders over these tires and what the bb height is with them. Does the B have dt shifter bosses? If I ever get one, I

This thread reminds me of the Muppets song...it's not easy, being green... :-) I plan on riding mine off road. For those that live in Minneapolis, I ride to Theodore Wirth from South Minneapolis, and also to the River Bottom singletrack trail. Mostly, it's a commuter. It's got a 107 BB on it for

Cool! Thanks for posting the picture. I'm looking forward to seeing more pics when you have it all built-up. I've heard mention of the 64cm but if you go to the Bombadil page on the RBW website and pull down the size drop-down up in the corner; it only shows sizes up to 60cm. So I was wondering if

I'll keep updating the build on Flickr. Tonight I'll put the wheels, bars and saddle on. I'll have it together by Saturday. Still on the fence on what bars to add. I've got Albatross, Moustache and Noodles. Part of me wants to run it as a full on 29er and put on a Surly Torsion bar, which is
