I'm just catching up - but that sounds like what i expected to happen with the 59. Glad I didn't want one, because work would have kept me away at the crucial moment - not unlike trying to sign my kids up for after-school clubs. Such a bummer that Grant couldn't get one though. I'm not

57cm Blue, I don't understand the preference for silver, but it worked out for me. Now I need to order some rims to lace to the NOS Campy hubs - definitely polished finish on the rims. I also have an NOS Spidel Crankset (French Campy copy that is actually nicer - it is finished on the backside

The blue is pretty. It reminds me of the old Ram color, although I think it's an old Hilsen hue. Alas, I'm all full up on on bikes with my 2-speed Cheviot and Bike Friday cargo bikes on the way. Enjoy, Jonesers! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

I had my LBS order a 55, but I think I was too late to get the silver one (my preference). That was fast. Oh well, the blue looks nice, too. Now here's the fun question - do I build it up as a single speed or a 3-speed IGH? On Tuesday, December 19, 2017 at 12:05:07 PM UTC-8, Belopsky wrote: >

You can ride fixed, but since there's no coasting you have to be careful about clipping pedals. With a 75 drop (track bikes have 60, commonly) and a wider-than track cranky (presumably) there's more risk. That is hugely abated by the larger tires--which more than makes up for the increased
