I have an early 80's Mercian in a very similar (if not identical) Blue with
pale Gray Head tube, black letters and pinstriping. I decided to go with a
Black Brooks. Maybe I'm too predictable. I love (spelled envious) your

I ride a Rambouillet and a Traveler's Check. They're both good bikes
and they are approximately the same size. I ride a 56cm frame and
when I bought the Surly I ordered the closesst frame to that size: BB
to top of seat tube. This is a dumb question but I'm going to ask it
anyway. How does
I use the same fenders on my Rambouillet. I obtained a longer bolt
from Peter White.

Not even a close question. Get a reference for a good personal injury
lawyer and talk to him/her. Just think about how much money you would
charge to suffer this kind of injury voluntarily. PS, temporary
disability, out-of-pocket loss, hedonic damage - it will be
significant.

Buy one size down on the Cross-Check. The standover clearance in any
given size is less generous than it would be on a Riv of the same size
(higher BB, different measuring scheme, etc)
However, I would encourage you to add couplers to a Riv. The
Traveler's Check is a nice deal, but it's easier
I think handlebar fit/style is the thing I spend the most time money on
with bikes!
I'd recommend the Technomic (non-deluxe) in a 10cm and give that a try,
along w/ a post that has more of an offset clamp.
FWIW, here is what the Technomic's look like w/ A-bars
RBW stuff (...mostly); prices do not include shipping (figure about
$10 ea. but would like to combine, figure about actual USPS shipping!
Paypal is best (my yahoo email address); can accommodate checks --
CONUS only, please.

This is a dumb question but I'm going to ask it anyway. How does one size a
bike by the length of the top tube?
While I suppose there is some value to stand over height, TT length by
far is more important. For the most part when using a bike, the rider
is not standing but rather reaching
It's not quite that simple. Since head tube and seat tube angles vary,
it's possible to have, say, a longer TT on a certain bike, yet have a
shorter/easier reach to the handlebars, or vice versa. On a custom
bike I received awhile back, I asked that the TT be a tiny bit shorter
than that on my
For those who may have missed it, there was an article in the last
Rivendell Reader on the subject of top tube length with some useful
explanatory illustrations.

Would Caltrain be good enough, as far as public transportation goes?

I guess I never got around to reading the article. GP does discount
TT length, although not in favor of stand over. He focuses on seat
tube angle, saddle and handlebar height.
I remain unconvinced that stand over is a more significant measure
than TT. I put 60 Big Apples on a bike that is
