There's been some interested emails but nothing serious has materialized yet. The bikes for which there has been zero interest is interesting to me. Nobody wants a light carbon mountain bike, which is not a big surprise in this group. I was a little surprised that nobody wants a dialed in Roadeo, or an Eroica-ready bike, or a 650B road bike for 1/5th the price of a typical MUSA Saluki. I guess Eroica bikes and 650B conversions are fun because they are projects.
I think the 650B Rossin is a really sweet bike. Standard diameter tubing. Pretty thinned lugs without being flamboyant. Classic robins egg blue. Timeless 2x6 friction drivetrain. Low Q classic cranks in 172.5mm. It's really close to perfect. It took P-clamps to get fenders on, so that's a mark against it.
