[Joe Shoemaker Music]

I’m starting to clear out my hoard unused parts, starting with tires! 
All tires have been minimally ridden, some are almost like-new, some are a 
little dirty. But they all have plenty of life left in them. Prices 
included shipping to the lower 48. Feel free to ask any questions! Buy 
multiple sets and I’ll knock some $$ off the prices!
All prices are for the pair!

Soma Shikoro 700 x 48 - $65
Schwalbe Thunder Burt 29 x 2.1 - $75
Ultradynamico Cava 700 x 43 - $65
Panaracer Smoke/Dart reissues 26 x 2.0 - $50
Michelin Country 26 x 2 - $40
Maxxis DTH 26 x 2.15 - $40

[RBW] Re: Wider Noodles

[Joe Shoemaker Music]

Consider me jazzed. I’ve been searching far and wide (literally) for 
something noodle-like but with more width. My 48cm’s are fun and all, but I 
just put 55cm bars on my other bike and I’m in love. I’m still considering 
a Shaka because I like the idea of the flared drops, but wider noodles 
sound pretty amazing

Re: [RBW] Re: FS 56 MUSA Atlantis 650b Great Condition.

[Joe Shoemaker Music]

Right on, well let me know what you might let the
frame/fork/headset/bb/wheels go for. I understand that’s more inconvenient
than selling the whole bike, but that’s where my interest is. If you’re not
into it, no worries at all. It’s a beautiful build, just not all of what
I’m looking for

Glad you’re on the mend. Never thought I’d have to be on my defenses on the

you want to ride with another Appaloosa when you’re feeling better, let me

[RBW] Re: Crash Inspection Advice

[Joe Shoemaker Music]

Oh wow, I ride my Appaloosa on that trail at least 3 times a week. I’ve had 
a few close calls with kids and distracted people, but never anything aggro 
like that. Sorry to hear! If you need to ride an Appaloosa for a while, 
you’re welcome to take mine for a spin. I’ve got a couple other bikes I’m 
neglecting these days.

[RBW] WTB - Atlantis w/ shorter wheelbase/chainstay

[Joe Shoemaker Music]

Hey all, I’ve got a 54cm Joe Appaloosa that I definitely love, but I’ve 
always wanted an older Atlantis (I believe Waterford, MUSA?) with the more 
compact wheelbase/chainstay. The long wheelbase is fun, But the heart wants 
what it wants.

If anyone has a frameset around a 54cm size for sale, please let me know! I 
live in Napa CA. I’d be willing to trade my orange 54cm Joe Appaloosa frame 
too if that sounds appealing. Thanks!

Joe

[RBW] Re: A Bit Irked that Riv Changed the Seatpost Size

[Joe Shoemaker Music]

I’m with ya. I reeeally want to put the lugged nitto seatpost on my 
Appaloosa to match my lugged stem, because in vein and OCD about that stuff 
:), but it’s just not in the cards. Oh well

 Funny how that .4mm makes such a difference in options.

[RBW] Re: Napa’s Skyline ride report with Gus & Rosco Baby

[Joe Shoemaker Music]

I live and work right by skyline and take my Joe Appaloosa up there a 
bunch! I definitely get funny looks from the normal crowd up there but I’m 
always have way more fun. Would love to ride with some other Rivs in Napa!
