Hi Alex,

I have a 86 or 88 PBH and own 58 cm Quickbeam but had a 60 cm Quickbeam. I
prefer the 58 cm. The 60 cm worked but was in my junk if I straddled the top
tube but that is probably the size Rivendell would have recommended.

Assuming that Riv's sizing is center to top for these...

Hi group,
I thought I would share this Rohloff conversion we just finished at Cycle
Monkey. As a former Rivendell employee and current Rohloff user I'm a
little biased, but I think it turned out great. We cold-set the rear

Have been enjoying the Duremes on my SimpleOne since it was built. Pretty nice
feel on either of them being 40s. Definitely notice a difference in size
between those and the 38mm Baby Bens on the Sam Hillborne.

Rene,
Mainly in the cush of the ride. And the fact I can let the Duremes go a
bit longer between airing up. The cush can probably be attributed to the
different casing as much as the increased air volume of the Dureme.
Guess the easy way to say it is I feel less like steering around smaller

In my case a 35-36mm tire is about all my Hillborne will take with fenders
and for me I have to inflate those to around 75-80 psi in the back so a
700x40 (37-38mm) just has a little more volume and I can get away with
65-70 psiplus the Supreme is a light and speedy tire. I'm running Creme

But you asked about bar tape, not bar height. My preference is to match the bar

I think eggplant would look beautiful and your new bike deserves beauty.
