have a high trail front end geometry, at least the older HH's did. Low

load. It's really a difference between French and English bike geometry

That would be disappointing, the whole point of the Rodeo is to be a faster
model in the line-up. Oversized tubing is already stiffer, you don't need a
beefier/thicker model, you already have that in AHH. I have a Homer it's
great, but it's designed for a different kind of riding than a Rodeo.

Jan Heine specifically says narrow rims are fine with his tires. So I'd

I'm also using the Thunderburts, and while I'm pretty slow anyway, I
noticed little speed loss on the pavement compared to my big Rene Herse
Antelope Hills or Schwalbe G-ones. And they can often be found cheap.

Congratulations, looks gorgeous. If I had to do it all over again I'd get a
Riv custom. Look forward to updates on geometry and components.

I ordered the mediums and they are a lot tighter than the old pair of
knickers I have. The fabric is very nice and they feel almost too nice to
get grease all over them as I inevitably will. I guess if I had my druthers
I'd love these in a knicker but these will be prefect for riding and hiking
I totally agree , front or back it's a perfect little bag.. And your
Atlantis is looking pretty cool too.

Have a 69? PX10 for sale size 58 if you're interested.

I'd prefer 27.2 but there are plenty of options for 26.8, prefer thinner
tubing mostly.

I wonder why, I guess I missed that one. Someone more knowledgeable
probably knows why, something to do with available tubing maybe?

I think I have an idea. The stiff tubing on your Clem wasn't flexing
without a load. Bikes work best when they flex a little, your other bikes
weren't as stiff, the extra weight allows the Clem to "plane". I've heard
Jan Heine talk about stiffer bikes needing more weight to ride better.

I deliberately didn't bother to watch it because it's a stupid click bate
title and a ridiculous premise. Like Ben stated they're both great bikes,
but quite different. My custom Terafrerrma is nothing like my Masi, or my
Homer or Atlantis. If I'm going on a long fastish ride but want my camera
I don't know about the new design, but I've had a Waterford Homer since
2011 or there about. I love the smooth, comfy ride, and it's plenty quick
enough. Not fast like my old Masi or my custom Terraferma, but plenty fast
enough, especially with Rene Herse Tires. The Homer is more comfortable
For me, it was because I lived in an area where I lost power so often
during the winter. After I bought the little burr grinder I realized it
made better coffee. But the blade grinders aren't terrible, kind of like
riding an aluminum Trek from the 90's with 20mm tires pumped to 160psi on a
Thanks for the heads-up, I helped a guy on a Surly that took a very bad
fall do to a stick in his front fender. He ended up in an air ambulance as
I recall. Of course, he was running knobies with his fenders, which is
always a bad Idea.
