I believe 2019 was the only year the 58 had that tire size and geo. I have a 2019 with the geo shown on bike insights. I think after that it was changed to 700c wheels and maybe some other tweaks. I have an 87 PBH and it fits nicely. On Wednesday, May 1, 2024 at 8:03:53 AM UTC-5 Bill Lindsa

2020-08-31 Thread Todd Porter
I'm 5'11" with an 86 pbh and have a 58 MIT Hilsen with Billie bars and an 11 cm stem (bars at saddle height). I find this set up quite comfortable and the billie bars allow plenty of hand positions. As far a standover clearance goes, it is a little tight if you use the biggest tires you can

There is something about the clem feeling lighter than it is. The only time i notice that it's heavy is when have to pick it up to go up the steps into work. When riding it feels like a lighter bike than it is, and it rides equally well loaded or unloaded. -- You received this message because

I agree with Ash's take. I have billie bars on my Homer, and the position just in front of the brake levers feels like holding the bars just behind the hoods on drops-which is mostly where i kept my hands when i rode drops; however, if i want to sit up more, holding the grips is way more comfor

Those new bike adjustment periods can be equal parts exciting and frustrating. I've had my Homer a little over a month now and was making a minor adjustment on the way home from work yesterday. Great riding bike though. Hope the bars work out, cause they look super cool. -- You received this

I love the look of that bike. Will be curious to see how you get on with those bars after the initial adjustment phase. I've always been curious about the really flared dirt drops, but not quite enough to give it a go. I think i may be past the drop bar days of my riding. Currently very happy

Got the bike. Its been 40 degrees and raining everyday, and I'm sick to boot. Did get to ride it home from work and then a 20 mile ride a day later. So far so good. Rides lovely. Still dialing in the bar height and saddle position, but no complaints. Really comfortable and feels fast and light
