Ok, so I'm giving some serious thought to going back down the RBW rabbit

So for years my go to shoes for rambling around with platform pedals have
been Vans or Sambas. I've used some other shoes from time to time--Five Ten

While it was Rivendell that basically led me to randonneuring, their bikes seem
to be going in a different direction. As have I. Anyway, thought I'd post this

Should I go with a narrow wide ring. On my CC I run a 1x9 drivetrain with

I know a lot of you are running Sugino and Silver Wide/Low Doubles but

It's been a few years since I sold off my AHH and I gotta say, I haven't
really missed it. I know it sounds crazy, even blasphemous, but I just like
my LHT more. From time to time, I've wonder about the Atlantis but it's
just more than I'm willing to spend on a bike when I like my LHT so much.
Congrats on the bike Bill. Those look pretty sweet. I'm curious, what
brakes will you be using, Paul's?
Looking forward to pictures.

Yes, quite wide. If you're putting them on a mountain bike 46s would be
fine. For a lot of time on the road, I'd definitely go narrower. The bars
really shine when you're in the drops on descents.
