Good point. A good custom builder should at least know what size
crank the buyer intends to use. Depending on the level of
communication before the build, the builder may know how the rider
pedals.

Don,
Could you compare and contrast the Ram to the Hampsten? When I first
started looking for a bike, a friend up in Wisconsin has a Hampsten,
suggested I give 'em a good look. I ended up w/ a Ram, but, was

Sorry, I missed your Mini-V question. I looked at these as an option for a
build a while back. Basically, they're intended for BMX bikes and have short
caliper arms. (hence, the mini, name) They don't have much clearance for
fatter tires or fenders which ruled them out for my purposes...
I have Jack browns on my Mavic Open Pros (19 or 20mm I think) without
an issues. I can't recall ever having any problems running JB's or
fatter tires on narrow rims.

Guilty on both counts.
I saw your post earlier. That's a nice Ram you scored. I really like them
with the newer lugs and the mid fork/stay rack eyes. Mine has the plain lugs
and no mid ship mounts but I love her just the same.
Happy riding.

Tim,
When I first assembled my All-Rounder in 1998 I used Ritchey 26x1.4
tires. The bike was measurably slower than my Rivendell Road
My guess would be that they 730's are canti/mini V's only--not compatible with
normal v's. You might want to ask at a shop to get a more informed opinion,
tho!

I'm using Jack Brown (greens) on Mavic Open Pros and a second set of
wheels using CXP33 rims.
I have zero problems using these tires on either set of rims.
I'm real fond of those Jack Browns and have ridden them 10k miles in
