I would not discount the better cruiser-type bikes. I bought my

ninth birthday and it is surprisingly decent: light for such a bike
(aluminum frame and parts), 3 speed coaster brake plus V brake, bottle
cage mounts. I upgraded

I just looked at the Blug and I really like what I see in the poster. It's

Anyway, I can't wait for mine, I have great place for it. (Surprised that

Thanks for any recommendations.
I would use 28-32 tires.

My son is seven and rides a Fuji Ace 20. It's a beauty, he rides to school
nearly all year, which, is pretty good for a NYC kid.
Here's the bike:

That's a sweet looking Road Standard. But a 59cm is way too big for an 82
cm PBH. For 82, you're talking about a frame in the 53-55 cm range.

Yep, I paid the full $50 that we non-early-adopters deserve to pay, and was
glad to do it.

I don't have much trouble with flats anyway, but RBW Nifty-Swifty tires are
a heavier duty version of the Maxy Fasty and pretty durable against
puncture. I think the Maxy Fasty is fine too. Today's ride included lot's
of trashy shoulders and not a bit of trouble.

That's a really nice frame too. I wonder about the accuracy of the seller's
description. A 57 cm top tube on a 54 frame doesn't compute to me. But I
could be wrong.
I have a PBH similar to the original poster's and a 57 top tube would be
way too long for me.

My poster arrived on Friday. What a treat it was to open the box, unfurl
the poster and see what it was. I've always wanted another of Goines'
posters (I have his UC Berkeley School of Optometry poster). The one he's
done for RBW is perfect! Thanks to all who made this possible.
On Tuesday,
Those Gatorskins come in 650c (23-571), not 650b (which would be 23-584 if
it existed).
If you have 650b wheels, there aren't many tires as narrow as 32 mm, and
none narrower that I know of. The 33 mm Nifty Swifty is basically a Jack
Brown Blue in 650b size, and that's probably the only
The Grand Bois Hetres have been the most flat resistant tires I've ever used.
I know I shouldn't say things like that out loud, but they really are wonderful
tires!

My '95 Road Standard is a 56 measured center to top (about 54 center to

The reveal is only one color layer at a time so you will be pleasantly
surprised when you get yours see the finished work. Included is the
artist's explanation of the process the short answer is it's quite
exacting and time consuming. Make sure to shake out the box
completely.

Don't dawdle again, the price will only go up. Look, it's summer, the
kids can go without shoes for a few months. Besides, if you order
now, the charge will kinda-sorta get lost in all the vacation

DLG likes to show the posters on his site, and I don't know if it's there
now, but I told him go ahead...since I didn't want to make him part of the
waiting/surprise game--which he seemed happy to do, but ... so that led to
the slow-leak thing we're showing on the BLUG.
I am really so glad
Thanks for the #3 reveal Grant, and no, it's not on his site - yet - at
least as of this writing. I expect to see the full reveal when mine shows
up on Tuesday. Honestly, I'm already more than pleased. Inspired really.
