I've owned a Ram and Romulus (basically the same frame) and both rode great
unloaded. I briefly had a Lightning Bolt Disc which I greatly regret
selling, I agree that it's kinda bizarre without a load on the front. Very
twitchy, it didn't feel safe to me.

Also, wanted to clarify that the measurements are the same as the
production frame. The seat tube is 61cm ctc & just shy of 63cm ctt. The top
tube is 60cm ctc.

Doug, you can say it until springtime when I change it BACK. And then you will declare you have had a change of heart and that you love the ivory saddle and thank goodness I came to my senses and brought it back! 藍On Oct 16, 2023, at 8:55 PM, Doug H. wrote:I have been on a bicycle hiatus for

previous saddle color? At least not as much as the new one. Fun reading
Hey Max,
I currently have a Ram, and used to have a SS Breakaway lighting bolt. Ram
in ~62 or 63, LB in xl. I really liked both, but let the LB go because I
was just trying to thin things out. Its not a perfect comparison tubeset
wise, because they used beefier stuff on the breakaway versions,
I'm pretty sure I've only ever had aluminum racks. They take serious abuse
without complaint.

When I was using a monocog 29er as my winter bike, I had a triple speed:
three cogs, three chainrings (the third, lowest gear was used for maximum
torque to drive through deep snow without bogging down) . All three combos
added up to the same total teeth but the change in angles was enough that

I’ve decided to sell my 55cm Platypus from the original run in the “Lime
Olive” color.
There are maybe 600 miles or so on the frame. I’m only selling it because I
don’t have anywhere to store it after a recent move. Bummer! Here's how I
built it if you're looking for some inspiration
Yes, chain length remains the same in all cases - I guess what I meant to
say was 'rear center' (distance between bottom bracket and axle).
It's entirely possible a rear disc might work well enough over that ~3mm
range. I've never owned a disc braked bike with horizontal dropouts
allowing the
No problem at all

Thanks, Dave, good to know about the DOX 2-tooth gap fws.
Back to the question of disc brake and axle movement: the *chain length* will
remain the same; the axle will have to move to accommodate different size
cogs since I don't want a tensioner.* This of course assumes that one is

Thanks for the kind words, Leah! Great find with the Rivet matching grips
and like Joe said, the Racing Platy just looks great with either attire,
but of course even more autumnal now with those chestnut touches.
Max - the yellow Yves Gomez looks terrific with the makeover and glad it
all
Leah -
For you Clem you might be able to lower your stem a few inches to try to
fit it to your new preference.
Btw, were any of your bikes fit and set up by Analog Cycles? Just curious
if this is the ‘enlightened fit’ style.

Prices are net to me and don't include shipping. Will ship using Pirateship:

Folks,
I outfitted my Waterford Tourer with aluminum rear rack .
Load was like 20 pd rear 12 pd front. Mostly good roads w/ a little gravel for
a week
I found it handled well.
I have an Indy Fab sport tourer converted to 650b. I am thinking that aluminum
might work.

Love the fall accessory swap out! I have zero comments about your seatpost
setback because I am so captivated by those new autumnal grips. Did you
even ask for input about your riding position because I don't recall seeing
that in your makeover post
Pink Gravel King tires? YES PLEASE!!
I love the pink. I wish I had known how much the rose anodized parts I had would fade. They are nearly silver now. I should have put red chainring guard/spacers/brake levers instead of rose! I did not know Gravel King came in pink. What a resource you are! You’re as good as a RivSister, Brian!On
