[RBW] New-to-Me Saluki

[RBW] New-to-Me Saluki

2013-06-03 Thread Michael Hechmer 
Really enjoying this bike!I bought a new Ram in 2005 and after 25 years 
of riding didn't ever expect to have a bike I enjoyed riding more than the 
Ram, but this Saluki is challenging that.  For years I read the posts and 
claims for the benefits of 650B, in this case Pari-Moto's, with some 
skepticism but wanting to try it out for myself.  I still love riding the 
Ram and it does quite well even on dirt roads with Grand Bois Cerf tires 
but the extra comfort factor definitely goes with the Saluki.  The Ram is 
lighter, a little (but not too much) quicker on acceleration and climbing, 
while the Saluki is a bit more stable.  Equal in the speed category.  They 
both downhill fabulously but the wider tires give more confidence. Saluki's 
longer TT completely eliminates the slight TCO I get with fenders on the 
Ram.  Biggest problem has been deciding which bike to ride but both bikes 
very quickly feel like extensions of my mind.

Here are some pics: https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A2532ODW4XTk4

I rode the bike as it came to me for a few weeks but knew I would need a 
shorter stem, so had to sacrifice a gorgeous 13 cm Pearl. (FS) I also liked 
the  Mafac Levers.  They are well made, very handsome, comfortable, 
especially standing up, and work great; but I decided I didn't want to go 
back to non-aero levers.  I kept trying to rest my water bottle on the bars 
and found the cable in the way.  So I figured while I had the cockpit torn 
apart I would swap out the 8 speed BE Shimano for 9 speed DT Silver.  Also 
nice Superbe pedals were too small so my White/Bruce Gordon went on.  But 
they may get replaced with Speedplay Frogs.  I've never gotten 100% into 
Riv clipless riding.

I'm going to post a separate review of the new levers and a question about 
a small quirk in the Specialized cranks. 

Michael
