I'm the proud owner of a sunflower yellow 650b Rambler and I am absolutely thrilled with it. I only got it built up in October and have yet to get it out on a real "ramble", but my country-ish commute has me putting about 125 very enjoyable miles/ week on this bike, and my affection for it just grows and grows. I'll get a blog post up in the next couple weeks, after some longer rides (yea Christmas break!), but I'll echo much of what was said regarding thoughtful design and Rob being the nicest guy to work with. Or have breakfast with.
Fwiw, the threadless steerer and Paul center pulls we're selling points for me, as was the fact that it was US made ( in my hometown no less). And when I started down the road a couple years ago considering custom, semi-custom, whatever - I realized I'm not a lug snob; that the quality of the ride is far more important to me. On that note, the skinny tubing makes the Rambler a very sweet and smooth ride. Not whippy, but definitely flexible in all the right ways. I won't use the "P" word, but it's there.
