Indeed... am contemplating doing this to my other bikes, too, although perhaps
going with the Ritchey Breakaway contraption, if that’s possible as a retrofit
on a regular frame. Wonder what frame builders would be up for the task...

Oh man, I loved that XO-1 Feels lighter by comparison with those 26"

I wonder how many Rivendell aficionados were first attracted by Grant's
