[RBW] Re: WTB 61 Atlantis - Toyo or Waterford

HA - so true, Matt, so true. Like you, I'm keeping my current Toyo (64), and hope to never sell it. But wanting a 61 (or 58 Hunq) for more standover and a different cockpit for more adventuresome riding. Tom On Saturday, March 30, 2019 at 10:22:36 PM UTC-4, Matt Beecher wrote: > > Just buy

[RBW] Re: Roadini handlebar ideas

Joe, Totally understand for those that are concerned with maneuvering inside. I don't have that problem. My bikes stay in an oversized 2-car garage, and get loaded onto a bike rack for the 10-30 min car ride to one of many bike paths or singletrack in the area, or a highway trip. No buses,
