[RBW] FS: 700c Wheels
Not mine. But from the same gentleman I bought my wife's Platypus from. If the wheels are anything like the frame, then they are near new condition. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/bop/d/santa-cruz-velocity-built-700c-alex/7722295649.html -Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: NorCal Coast Tour Route Feedback
My cousin and I did Eugene to SF a few years ago. Eugene is nice because you can take the amtrak there with your bike to start the tour. We bought the Adventure Cycling Maps. $30 well spent. The maps provide a number of quiet side roads that keep you off the freeway as much as possible, and they also include detailed information about bike shops, food, and hiker/biker camps along the way. Here is the link: https://www.adventurecycling.org/cyclosource-store/route-maps/?p:current=7 You may need Pacific Coast #2 and #3. I may be able to dig around and find my old maps, but mine may be out of date. -Andrew On Saturday, February 24, 2024 at 8:53:29 AM UTC-8 Zac wrote: > Hi Stephen, > > I did this years ago and had a blast, despite one full day of rain on our > way to Leggett, which also coincided with stretches along Hwy 101.

Re: [RBW] Re: HELP: My wife stole my Platypus
Still in search. Had a close call on a 56 Atlantis that actually turned out to be a 53. And Vernon found his Hunq a new home (congrats to the new owner). I am now looking at a 56 on Facebook Marketplace. Pretty far from home, but maybe I could swing it. Quick question: Can someone look at the pics and tell me what's going on with the chainstay near the dropout. It looks kinda curvy to me. I can't tell if my eyes are playing trick on me. I read that some of the Toyo Atlantis models had curvy chainstays. I had a 58 once and it did have a pretty serious curve near the crank to allow for more tire clearance with a shorter chainstay (downside was that it was hard to fit a double crank without a super long BB). I have never seen this other curve near the dropouts. What do you all think? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1271004613561351/?referralSurface=messenger_lightspeed_banner=messenger_banner Thanks in advance, Andrew On Saturday, January 20, 2024 at 10:05:02 PM UTC-8 Drurad (Sacramento) wrote: > That's incredible marriage advice!

[RBW] WTB/WTT: 57cm Bleriot
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 58 I would be willing to trade too.
