Birdman, That is stunning. You perfectly emphasis the special relationship one can develop between themselves and a favorite bike. Where others on the list may question your motive or the cost; I am supportive of everything that went into the revival of that Beautiful Ent. The British Racing

Sure, I can snap BB photo. The only surprise is that once the paint was stripped, the frame builder found several gaps in various lugs where the bronze had not properly penetrated when it was originally built, he got all of those fixed up. His approach to the BB shell was to saw the old shell

Yes, I test rode a Susie and loved it, so I ordered one back in December. But I couldn't bear to wait, so I ended up with the Atlantis, which is a much better fit for the riding I do on a daily basis. On Sun, Aug 2, 2020 at 12:45 PM S wrote: > On Saturday, August 1, 2020 at 9:16:43 PM UTC-7

"Except for the shorter wheelbase, the Gus/Susie is the bike you describe." And a brilliant ride. My experience with Gus is the long wheelbase is rarely to never a detriment, and always an asset. Smooth, better climbing, better flow. Experience teaches the taking of slightly different curves in

Awesome! I saw a grey and kidney bean Hunqapillar there 2 weeks ago. It was underneath me the whole time. I went up Western States Trail and up The Wall from Squaw Valley to get to the Rim Trail. Someone on the trail, also on a mountain bike, said to me, “You’re doing great on that bike.”

Looks like fun riding; the Atlantis looks like it is in its element out there. It is such a great, versatile bike. Rigid mtbs are fun and I've found a nice cushy set of grips helps a lot to smooth out the ride especially when riding over the smaller bumps like roots and rougher gravel. I have
