There are a surprising number of usable 26" road tires, starting with the perennial Paselas and Kojaks. But Rene Herse has the ineffably nice 28 mm (labeled 32) Elk Pass, truly one of the nicest tires I've ever ridden. The 42 mm Naches Pass is probably too wide for that bike. On Wed, Jun 15, 2022

Patrick: I took the original comment on the bar as a positive. The angled inverted mustache bars are nice for a senior citizen back. The Walnut studio grip has held up well. As to other observation of “so many things wrong,” that seems to violate the list rules of etiquette. I’ll leave it to

Alas, the selection of tires available for the 650C size was miniscule in 2015, and may be less than miniscule now, and those available were mostly 23 mm models, tho' I think Terry made a rather heavy 28 mm model. Tho' the selection of good road-capable 559 tires is small, it's a heckofalot bigger
