Me too! Well, mostly. I ride a 51 proto bleriot and a 50 saluki and drive an '06 Honda Element. That's at 5'2" and a PBH of 76 if I remember correctly. The one thing that I find a challenge about my little bikes is clearance between the saddle and a rack/fender for a biggish saddle bag, lil loafer in back, or a wald basket. Mostly I've gotten it to work and Mark's Rack is a god-send for a custom fit in the back. I had a battle getting a new Tubus Airy (which I am really liking for a go-less-slow bike) to fit on the chain-stay upper braze-ons because they were narrow, and forget about a pletscher on the little guys (does anyone have a secret about mounting one on a 50 frame?). A Carradice Barley is a great traditional saddlebag for a low saddle that has good room for daily use. And I agree with Pam. It's so hard to find a great-fitting beautiful little bike that once you find one, it does become a forever bike. liesl the-bike-lingerer in minneapolis -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
