Too bad that the Bleriot project did not work out. A lot more folks would be really enjoying cycling if it did. On Tuesday, August 8, 2017 at 11:44:13 AM UTC-4, rob markwardt wrote: > Here's the country bike article. > > On Tuesday, August 8, 2017 at 8:41:23 AM UTC-7, rob markwardt wrote: >>

Michael, Compass has just increased their 42mm tire by 1.5mm so the fit will only get tighter. You might want to try some older ones. The 1.75" Pari-moto is measuring between 40-41mm for most people on a rim like the synergy. -Dave On Monday, August 7, 2017 at 8:56:55 PM UTC-4, Michael Hechmer

Hi John, I had an early 50 canti Saluki, but found it too small; then sold it and got a 54 sidepull Saluki; My pbh 79.5; the 54 fits better. I liked the cantilever brakes better though because they stopped better and opened easier. And I like the 650B wheel size. However these days I'm beg

Saluki was made In Osaka by Toyo. Hilsens are made in WI by Waterford. GP has said build quality is equal at both places back when some frames were coming from both places, but the tubing used is different in each location. Saluki used high quality Japanese tubing. I don't know what tubing W'For
