As does a former brazer/painter there, Mike Flanigan of ANT Bike. He's
building me a TIGed 3-speed, although he does fillet and lugs, too. I'm
with Bill Gibson on the lugged thing: I like lugs, but don't consider it
The Only Way anymore. I told Grant eons ago that a lower-cost TIGed bike
Thanks, Bill, for answering. Chainstay length may indeed make little, if
any, difference. And Jim W. makes a good point about uprightness. All that
said, I find it easier to ride no-hands on my 1969 Raleigh Competition (~47
cm stays) than I do on my 1986 Univega Gran Rally (~43 cm), each bike
Great fix! The bag looks terrific all squared up.

And IF's start at about $2300 for a frame/fork, so they're not exactly
saving pennies by forgoing lugs.
Gunnars are over $1000 now for a frame. If Riv can get a complete bike with
a few key lugs (my guess: fork, head tube ends, seat cluster, no BB), for
$1500, that's a great deal. That's about

I think everyone loves the color, and those who get one will have something
to be proud of. Bill and I were having fun with words. It's more like an
iridescent chrome than an opaque or metal-flake paint.
I dig orange, especially orange and blue.

Are external bearing cranks supposed to be less expensive to make? Why is that?

Ted, I don't think they're necessarily less expensive to make, just quicker
and easier for assembly.1-2-3 done!

The savings would be in bottom bracket inventory--you can use the same
crank for 68mm and 73mm bottom bracket shells.

Hello,
I am cleaning out the garage here and I have a number of things for sale.
Buyer pays actual shipping via priority for each (or group of) items
Platrack (Never Used) + Slickersack $190
The slickersack was a demo from Rivendell so it has signs of use and a
small non-offensive stain
I have been looking for a silver 42cm Highway One bar. It must be a popular
size. I have one on my Roadeo and its perfect for me. I have two other
bikes that I am going to change to the Highway One.

Yeah, no-handed rideability probably has many contributing factors besides

Compared to my 60cm Rambouillet, a 61cm Road Standard has 1.5cm longer top
tube, 1cm shorter chain stays, .5 degree steeper head tube and probably
will only take a 32 tire. Numbers are nice, but I'm curious if anyone has
first hand experience with both? Is the ride similar? Is one sportier,
Congrats! It will be a great ride.
