But won't I need a new rear derailer also, since the one I have has a
short arm?

It's technically feasible to run a short rear derailer with a triple, but
you'll have excess slack in the chain if you use the small-small
chainring/rear-cog combo. If you're interested, I have a 9-speed Shimano
105 long-cage rd for sale. Shiny silver, one very small nick near the cable

It stands to reason that if a regular road bike with 700 wheels and
short-reach brakes can be 650b-ized, you could reverse-engineer a Bleriot.
I think a young guy at RBW HQ has done it to an AHH.

I tried a 700c Bleriot maybe 4-5 years ago. I think normal 57 mm brakes
worked with 700x28 and close clearances. To do it with 559 wheels, you'd need
extremely long reach brakes - probably not a good idea.

Super excited for the chance to own the recently posted rbw protovelo bleriot,
and am starting to plan out racks.
Any interest in trading your nitto mark's rack for my nitto mini? Anyone have
personal experience with a marks rack on a bleriot? I've read that weight on

I don't know where all of you are, but if you are trying to purchase via
