Brendonoid, thanks. I've only had it for a few months now but so far I am enjoying it. I wanted something a bit different from my other bikes, and I'd never ridden a rando-ish bike before. I use it primarily as my work commuter. I carry it up and down stairs when I get to work so it checked a

Hi Patrick, Tires are 35mm. 38mm tires fit but the pinch point is between the top of the tire and the underside of the brake (Shimano BR-6500). Saddle to bar drop is almost nil. I'd prefer around 3 cm as its hard to stay on the hoods while climbing out of the saddle. Two curious things about

Lovely! That early Ram orange inspired my own choice of Molteni orange for a to-be-refurbished early '70s road frame (which, incidentally, will take slightly wider tires than even my erstwhile blue-paint-era Ram). Just how wide are the tires pictured? Man! When I see firm dirt surfaces like
