one more thing to note, check the geo specs. While this is a 61cm, the TT is relatively short, at 59cm, so it fits more like a 59. At least for me. On Saturday, March 12, 2022 at 4:24:17 PM UTC-5 Benjamin Park wrote: > More pictures > [image: IMG_1369.jpeg][image: IMG_1367.jpeg][image: IM

[RBW] Re: Gus or Susie, am I crazy?

I have a Jones LWB complete (size M) and a Susie (size L). Or had a Susie until it died an untimely death after falling off a bike rack on the highway. I found the Susie to be barely the right size (me: PBH 87, 6 foot, 150 lbs) so take all of this with that in mind. I got the Susie because the

Re: [RBW] Mid-80 steel frames that could be Roadini standins

I have that same Bottecchia (albeit I think mine is a bit newer, probably 1972). I ride it all the time- it makes a great road bike! Columbus tubing is so smooth. I put a front rack and it's my little rando bike. Actually does ok with the weight of a front bag. I have some RH 32s on it but

Agree on the minimalist shoes and flat pedals. I wear Xero shoes. They are wonderful and grip well. Enough sole but not too much. On Wednesday, August 25, 2021 at 11:58:17 AM UTC-4 thoma...@gmail.com wrote: > I have to second the recommendation for Merrell Trail Glove shoes for flat > pedal

[RBW] Re: Susie in a downhill bike park

Yes Robert I agree, the bike park is all groomed berms and jumps. Many trails are surprisingly smooth that I could take nearly any bike down. Some of the black diamonds were fairly rough, however, but I suspect the expert rating was more due to the steepness than the technical nature. While in

[RBW] Susie in a downhill bike park

Thought folks might be interested in my recent experience taking my Susie to Deer Valley lift-serviced downhill bike park. Overall it was highly enjoyable despite dealing with ridiculous bros. Got a ton of looks and comments, ranging from very positive ("Right on!", "Old school!", "Love it!")

Re: [RBW] Re: Any Susie owners out there?

Thanks all! Keith- wondering why you use Jones over Susie for rough rides? How do your swept back bars (Tosco?) work for the rougher more technical rides? I have limited experience using that degree of sweep and a little concerned about control- having elbows out seems more stable to me albeit

Re: [RBW] Re: Any Susie owners out there?

I snagged the last one! Well thanks to all the reviews here and elsewhere, including some long discussions with Will, I bought the LAST Susie! It's a large, and I'm a little anxious it's too big even though plenty of people say it won't be (PBH 86). I currently ride a Jones Plus LWB size M, and

[RBW] Any Susie owners out there?

Hi all, my first post here! I am close to pulling the trigger on a Susie, but am not finding many descriptions of how it rides, handles, etc. What should I expect? How is the acceleration? I am looking for something for 50% single track and 50% gravel roads, and an occasional short
