A common note about 26"-and-smaller wheels is they spin up faster than 700c
but don't hold momentum as well. You may be experiencing this phenomenon
with 650b as well.

I can use the fancy wheels on my Clem and part out some stuff, plus a frame
is much easier to pack than a complete bike with Boscos. Would rather not!

Brian,
Those bikes were designed around the same time as my frame (Platypus, too)
so similarities wouldn't surprise me. A main difference would be less drop

You swap 'em without cables installed: left goes on right, right goes on
left. Then you put the cables on and run them in friction.
Once it's done it will seem simple but I can verify the brain takes a

Those SunRace shifters force indexing that doesn't line up with all the
cogs. Technically you can trim them to work as a friction shifter but it'll
drive you crazy, you need Silver thumbies.

Roadeo would be its direct descendant in a lighter frame handbuilt by Mark

My impression is you've never ridden a Riv (not a criticism, just noting)
and will be happy to learn they're all great on pavement. Drop bars limit
how long a toptube you can run so you're probably right that a Homer is a
good bet (see, also: Roadini, Hillborne). But it's also possible to size

The riding you're describing says Susie but - as you say - the Clem L will
handle most of it. I don't need lugs either and I love my L (haven't ridden
it on trails yet but will), I think this is the way unless you're super
into the looks/color of Susie. Also Clem L means cheaper and no waiting!
Welcome to the Bunch! For me the choice would be between the Homer and

It's the Marathons leaving you hanging, I despise the damn things. Once you
get them on they're practically impervious to flatting but you gotta get em
on there first!

Adding to my post: I don't think you're asking if the gearing will be too
high. Yes it will work and you can use whatever gearing you like!

Roberta, this is stunning. As you know I'm kinda crazy about red hearts and
this is the red heartest bike ever! You did an amazing job making your
bicycle exactly as you wanted it, it's literally perfect ❤️❤️❤️

The only theoretical concern I can think of is you may get some skating
between front rings from a 9-spd chain on cranks spaced for 6/7/8-spd. But
in reality - assuming front friction shifting - you'll just make sure
you're shoving that chain over properly and all will be well.

It's a lovely bike in rare shape, 30 years on these aren't coming up in
this condition every day. I believe the advertised max tire size was 28mm
but that was in the era of over-promising on size by tire manufacturers,
I'd only buy this if I was sure I could live with a 700x25 tire.

It's 110 BCD for the bigger rings, 74 granny ring. Nice cranks, nice price,
but the length of the arms might be a stretch for you. You're probably used
to 170mm (or shorter).

Arm length? I'm not in the market but I know someone who might be

I had that much on my custom for a while (wish I hadn't sold it in a fit of
"I'm a 1x guy now"). It friction-shifted a triple with 9-speed chain great,
it'll handle a 42-30 easy.

It's so exciting! I can't wait to see your new Purple Platy and all the
