 Hey Folks,

 I am dramatically downsizing my life and getting rid of almost all my
 bike stuff I've been hoarding. Prices include shipping (CONUS) except for
 bikes which are local pickup only for now. All prices are net to me.
 Discounts for purchases of multiple items. If my prices are off base, make
 an offer. If you have any questions about items please let me know.

 end shifters. Has White Industries hubs laced to Alex rims 40 spokes each.
 I'm 5'11" and my wife is 5'2" and it fit us spot on. If the stoker is any
 shorter they might struggle with dismounts. I had a rear disc brake mount
 welded on but never changed the cable routing for it. So its non functional
 right now.

So if it was released in 2006, then it must have been conceptualized at
least one or two years prior. So wacky 650b idea evolved around 2004 or
2005? It makes sense they had to also release some tires as well.

I didn't ride a bike as an adult until 2009, so what 650b tires existed
back then?

I would say releasing a production 650b bike 11 years ago was pretty
adventurous. I have a 2009 Bleriot and as I think about it, If I knew it
existed, I would have been less likely to buy it when it was being sold. I
dont think there were even too many 650b tires available then.

Patrick,
They work fine for me. I don't find much of a difference between aero and
non aero levers especially if the brakes are set up right. I was able to
lock up the wheels from the drops on my test ride.

I highly recommend at least trying it on your Matthews.

Darin, I am indeed having some issues with tire seating. I have heard many
people say using two rim strips helps. I will probably try that.

The king cages just make sense in that order!
