I don't agree at all that someone with a long torso and average length of legs should use a longer setback seatpost to accommodate it.* Just picture yourself on a bike, and suddenly your spine is elongated 6 inches. Your legs haven't changed at all and neither should your saddle position.*

The numbers are there to run, but my expectation is that if you ran the numbers, you would find the 58 Homer would be closer to the XL Romanceur. The 58 Homer might even be a little bit "bigger" than the XL Romanceur, in pure Stack and Reach land. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Saturday,

#5 - I believe that most generator powered headlight beams were designed to project from just above the wheel (rack or fender or fork crown mount), as that is sort of constant within a short range. Handlebar heights can vary greatly and can end up with the light pointed down too much. The

I think there is merit to getting a longer stem to alleviate the feeling of needing more space in the bar area. I would have gladly tried this over the ugly IRD seat post, but I have the extra tall Nitto stem that maxes out at 10 cm, which I have. I wish they made a 12, but alas. So, the seat post

[RBW] Homer Sizing Question

I'm kicking around the idea of getting a Homer to go with my Platypus and Romanceur. I have a PBH of roughly 90cm and probably go with a 61.5 or 58. I would like the option to ride drops but am worried if I go 61.5 it will be too big and if I go 58 it will be too small. I currently ride as my

Then there are also those with really, really long torsos, that need a long stem *and* lots of setback on the seatpost; or a custom frame. Also remember that a Brooks saddle sometimes needs a longer setback seatpost to put you in the same location relative to the pedals as another type of

Howdy folks. Anybody holding an unwanted Silver 170mm triple crank in good condition? I might buy a new one, now that they're back in stock, but I wouldn't hate saving some dough either. On a related note, what width BB would I need for a Silver triple on a Joe Appa? The bike currently has a
