Loaded, unloaded, front loaded, rear loaded, it just doesn't come close to the customs. My 1973 Motobecane handles better load and rear loaded despite its flexy 531 frame. My Monocog handles, at least, with less wheel floppiness unladen, and this with 60 mm tires at 16/20.
The SH isn't as 'twere actively bad, but it's no better, for me and in my own personal experience -- note the qualifications! -- than average. Very strange. Anyone want to buy a loaded, low miles SH, 56, Waterford, cantis? -- Patrick Moore Albuquerque, NM For professional resumes, contact Patrick Moore, ACRW at resumespecialt...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
