Really? You can't tell that you have a full bottle on your bike? It
feels like an extra pound. I feel it when I'm out of the saddle.
I don't feel like a princess and the pea kind of rider, but my bike
feels different with a full bottle. I can feel 175mm cranks, or 25mm
tires instead of 28s. I
Earlier this year the minimum was SEVEN! What happened? And even
though I would be happy with one bike... I do have three.
I would love a Fargo. And a Roadeo. And before that, I wanted a
Pugsley. And before that, a Kogswell Porteur. But I just keep riding
my Quickbeam, and my mountain bike, and my
I have a 64 cm Atlantis which I enjoy a great deal. While it fits
fine, I would prefer a 61 cm. The frame is three years old and in
excellent condition. On the off-chance someone has a 61 cm and would
prefer a 64, please let me know.

I must be an insensitive lug then, because I certainly do not notice a
7.29 oz difference ( 28oz bottle 3/4 full vrs full) which is .45 lb.
For me that is a .2% difference in total bike +rider weight. I still
find the 2nd parallel top tube unappealing visually. Must be that

Hello All, does anyone have a 58cm Saluki they are interested in

I really like to double TT. I liked it when brought it in on the
bigger bikes and like the function of it. I like it even more on the
smaller bikes (56 SH) where it could be argued that there is no real
function. What's cooler than a few extra lugs and a spare tt? I also
really like that Waterford
Of course you are right. Grant specifically said that since they
wanted to increase clearance, they had to swap out the fork for one
with more clearance. Presumably a Hilsen fork.

I've got a Bleriot I love, but it doesn't fit; have the chance to buy a new
Bleriot frameset that does.
Is a Sam H better than a Bleriot ? Or not. 90% of my transportation is by
bike: commuting (all weather);shopping, sometimes heavy; light touring.
Thanks,

Better or not is an impossible question to answer. What sizes are you
talking about?
Bleriots not being available makes them somewhat more desirable, I
think. You'll be able to sell yours wrong sized one quite easily
because of it (even on this board), and if you are getting a good

I love my Bleriot. I also prefer a straight tt. I wouldn't turn down
a Sam and I may buy one someday but I would pick a Bleriot in a fist

I think the difference between the two bikes is use. The Sam can
handle wider tires and uses Canti's ( most of them) which means it can
do more rough duty than the Bleriot. If you do more dirt riding or
fully loaded touring the Sam is a better pick.

Sams also have kickstand plates which are fantastic little devices.

Greetings,
For sale are a 48t and 36t Zephyr 110mm BCD chainring, and a 24t
Zelito 74mm BCD chainring. Top of the line TA quality, 7075 T6 heat
treated aluminium . They are new rings mounted on a new crank, but
taken off before using the crank.
Does anyone have a picture of the backside of the rings on this
crankset? Just curious what they look like.

I just noticed the addition of a 5th size of Hunqapillar. The 51
plops between the 48 and 54 initially offered when they were doing the
pre-sale. When you select that size on the drop down menu, it tells
you the 51 is $1600 while all others are $1500.
Add that to my confusion about the delivery
I too have a 60cm Hillborne which I've ridden with a Moustache bar. It
is fantastic. It's right behind my Albatross set-up as my favorite
cockpit. It plants your front wheel. I've ridden it on trails (which
are really nice in my area, so kind of easy on the bike) and on good
and crappy roads. I

I tried the M-bars on my Bombadil as my first set up. I liked them very much
for off-road riding, but on the road I couldn't find a position where my
hands wouldn't hurt. Knowing now that that frame was too big for me (and too
long), I may try them again on the Atlantis at some point.

like the fact that it wasn't going all the way to the rear dropouts. On

it for commuting, errands around town, and trail and gravel road
