Grant - Thanks for adding some behind-the-scenes facts to the discussion. The San Marcos and Roadeo have both seemed like four-wheel-drive Ferraris to me - fat, plush suspension slung below a rocket sled frame. It's always interesting to see how these projects evolve. - J -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Could you take a moment to vote for me?

I think it's pretty safe to say your LBS carbon fiber racing bike with the lightly spoked wheels and tire clearances limiting the bike to 23mm tires at most (and yes, there are plenty that won't even take a 25mm) was not designed for a 290 pounder. In fact, chances are it wasn't designed for a 200 pound rider. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I wonder how many of them are using Campagnolo components that come with a 170 lb weight limit... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
