About 10-12 years ago I was looking for a roadish bike with fatter tires. There weren't many. I stumbled on the Rivendell site, read a bit and took a chance on a Bleriot. Many smiling miles for sure. Grant and company have no doubt been pioneers. The new MIT frame direction should allow them

Not an Atlantis, but I’ve decided I’m ready to part with my 62cm gray and maroon Hunqapillar. I usually ride a 64cm, but thanks to the very slightly sloping top tube this one fits my 93.5cm PBH quite well. (The Hunqapillar flier recommends this size for 91.5 -100cm PBHs.) This is the original

Hey Ed. I’ve ridden the wiggle pedals a few times now on my Hunqabeam and in fixed gear it is noticeable (I keep my chain tight). Not sure if I’d notice with a freewheel or derailure as they both add play to the system. Waiting to hear back from Pedaling Innovations. With abandon, Patrick --
