Marty,
My 59cm All-Rounder has 26" wheels, the 64cm Atlantis has 700c.
Both work fine, at different times I have prefered one wheel size over
the other, to me the biggest difference is tire/rim selection. At the
moment the tire selection for both diameters is quite good in the
larger sizes I use

accounts and standards, should probably be on a 61 Atlantis. But

That's JimG's Carradice Super-C Saddle Pack. It's basically the largest
seat bag you are ever likely to experience.
It mounts to the seatpost, and loads
Just saw the back on another photo, appears to be a Carradice Super C?

Did not realize people were doing that.
Somewhat odd, all things considered. There are many quality 26" rims
available for nearly every type of riding.
With some skinny race tires excepted, most decent tires out there have
a perfectly acceptable 26" variant. And who buys an Atlantis or
similar
A true keeper. Like much of the wit and wisdom of Doug!

one more piece i forgot to mention, and it's not specific to women.
i highly recommend the new merino wool "Buff". i have one and i gave
one to my friend
who spends hours walking her golden retriver, and she loves it too.
gave one to my boyfriend
and he loves it too. it's longer than the regular
+1 from me, too, on Ibex. i wear a few of the Ibex wool tops (the
shak hoody, the wool long-sleeved t), and i find Ibex
to wear better than Smartwool (i have one of their zip wool sweaters,
and while it's nice, the wool isn't as soft and it pills up).
i gave my father the upper/lower Ibex woolies
I have a Busch & Muller DLumotec Oval Plus led light (55cm wire) and a
Schmidt E6-Z secondary (80cm wire) with 2 spare 3 watt bulbs. No
brackets included. About a $195 total retail for all, but will sell
seperately, make offer?

One curious phenomenon is that Atlantis frames in size 58 (700c)
outsold those in size 56 (26") by a large multiple. I often got the
impression that folks exaggerated their PBH measurements because of
some apprehension about 26" wheels. After I had my Atlantis for a
couple years, I found myself wis
Pretty sure Tim's AR is a 59. Tim is about 6'4", but that was
apparently the Riv-recommended size for him back in 1996 (now he'd
probably be on a 64 or so). In any case, Tim used his AR for many
brevets because it is comfortable to ride.

This is not just a problem for women. I am 6'1" and am just over 200lbs.
There are a couple of clothing lines whose 2xl is not large enough for me. Who
are they kidding.
I haven't been following this thread so this may have been brought up already
but my wife has had good luck with Terry
Thanks Dave, I did not know of the LHT option - and it looks nice -
but I'm kind of devoted to lugged frames. I've had a few MTB
conversions over the years, and my current Trek may be as close as
I'll ever get. Beth, ideally I would end up with a 62 or so, but the
61 I have will fit the bill until

Are you aware that the Surly Long Haul Trucker is now available in 26-
inch wheels for all sizes? I know it is not lugged, but it's a good
bike that has developed a loyal following with bike tourists. I know
several folks with the LHT here in town and have met many, many others
on tours and

Yes, it WILL be tough to find a really tall frame for 26" wheels.
(What size are you looking for?)
Maybe let go of the lugged requirement to make your search a little
more realistic. There are perfectly fine tig'd frames out there. Also,
realize that street-ified steel mountain bikes are the new ra

David, have you tried a foam roller? Painful but effective...
Moving to higher Q cranks helped my ITB band troubles, as did lowering the
saddle a little and moving it forward a bit more. The saddle adjustment came
during a pro fitting which went well. If you ask them to focus on that aspect
