[RBW] Re: A Soma San Marcos (Amos) Build

While the previously mounted Schwalbe Marathons are tops in terms of durability and reliability (i.e. they're bomb-proof), the Compass tires easily outclass them in terms of pure ride quality. Between weighing roughly two lbs less per set and being constructed of much more supple casing, I am

Nice bikes, guys. I noticed that Phillip's fork has a more French-style bend to it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

[RBW] Re: A Soma San Marcos (Amos) Build

Thanks! I believe the fork styling was switched to a tight, low bend at some point in 2015. I bought my San Marcos frameset new in April 2015, so I must have gotten one of the last 2014 frames laying around. If I knew the fork change was coming I would have held off a few months, but the

[RBW] Re: A Soma San Marcos (Amos) Build

Thanks, everyone! Philip, I definitely had to get creative to mount the front fender. At the time I was thinking I could use a Paul Racer or a Dia Compe Mod 750 up front. Glad to hear the Racer works for you. Beautiful bike! Tim, feel free to drop those new photos into this thread if/when you
