[RBW] WTB/WTT: 57cm Bleriot

2021-12-27 Thread Drurad (Sacramento)
Was really stoked on Joel's 55cm Bleriot recently put up for sale, but after doing a deep dive in geometry charts I think it will be too small. My pbh is 83-84. Anyone by any chance have a 57cm they would be willing to part with? Let me know. I am currently riding a 2003 TOYO Atlantis in

I do believe you’re correct, at least I’ve never heard of one. I’ve considered building up a Sturmey-hubbed 3spd wheel for my FJ, but finding a nice 120mm OLD hub has been frustrating. Still keeping an eye out for one, though. On Saturday, December 25, 2021 at 6:37:48 PM UTC-5 Jason Fuller

Wow, that's beautiful. Way under square, which might make it a good candidate for moustache bars. Or a sweet old 130mm Salsa stem. Or just someone with a shorter torso than I have. Lots of good Tom Ritchey content in the old Readers. Good luck with the sale. Philip Sonoma County, Calif.

You could also dilute amber shellac with clear shellac and try that over white bar tape. There are also some lighter amber colors of shellac available from https://www.shellac.net/button_shellac.html if you like to mix your own. The button shellac is also more durable and has a slightly
