JGshoe, great looking build! What size is your frame? Also what size tires are you running? I'm definitely considering getting one of these next time they are available. A secondhand orange 60cm Appaloosa would be a score for me. On Thursday, November 5, 2020 at 5:06:09 PM UTC-8

Very nice build. I have the tektro side pulls before they became Silver brakes, that is the limiting factor. I am ok with 42’s because the Sam wears 48’s but at least I know if I change brakes I could use 48’s although I think the bike would be too big for me then, just make it now with little

I wish I could fit 60's on this. my big tire bike will be either the Clem or a Joe if I can find one. Planning on testing the limits of their clearance one day. Joel, I'm not sure how I got these to fit other than just trying them. Is yours the same size? (59) My brakes are Paul Racer center

Thanks Rich and others. I just had a nice ~20 mile out and about (ending up at the grocery store 1 mile south of my house; the best kind of ride is a huge detour to a practical destination). I had put the fixed wheel back on it, the first time I've ridden the 48 X 17 fixed with the Naches Passes,

Thanks. I just read the article too. My reason is the handling. And the tubes are also over 2X (150 versus 70 grams) as heavy, though that's less of a concern. But I don't need 42 mm tires for pavement -- the 29s are very smooth -- and 39s aren't sufficiently better than 29s in sand to make the
