Joel, Why not a step through frame like the Clem Smith L, Clemintine, or upcoming Platapus? Those bike models are not limited in use, have low stand over, and ability to get bars high as you need. Jason -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

I find it hard to believe there is nobody within 2 hours of Springfield MA with a 650b 50cm Atlantis. It would be such a great help to see and standover one. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this
