Hi friends, or 'kia ora' as people say here in Aotearoa/New Zealand! I
gave my kiwi nephew James a copy of Just Ride for Christmas and it appears
to be changing his life. He's read half the book and already is saying
that he bought the wrong bike (a racer) and would like a commuter. But
I picked up Scott's 60cm XOXO yesterday. (Thanks again Scott) I'm 6'3, with a
92ish PBH. I've been wanting to build up an all rounder for a while, and this
will be a fun project. Always fun to meet up with another member too, and his
choice of locations (a local Burrito joint) was a bonus.
Tony, I'm 6'1 with a PBH of 91. Our tandem has 26 wheels, with Marathon
Racer tires, 1.6. The only draw back I've found is finding a front bag
tall enough to bring a map into reading range. However, if I had it to do
over again I would probably go with 650b. I think the frame geometry would

Marty, Congrats on the XOXO! I saw that listed over on iBOB and had to
restrain myself... easier since I had picked up a '93 XO-3 earlier this
year but still I think that is a sweet bike. Please share the build pics
as you get it going! I just rode my singlespeed'ed XO-3 into work for the
first
Oh nothing tragic happened to it... I (willfully) sold it to someone on the
forum... and therefore have little right to express remorse. It went to a
good home... I just miss it, naturally.

Hello group, does anyone have some real width measurements on any 650Bx
~2.0 tires? I own a Bleriot, and right now have some Vee Rubber 650Bx 1.95
that measure a true 46mm on Synergy rims, and surprisingly theres a decent
amount of clearance left between the chainstays. Wouldnt mind trying
Hi Michael. Here is a link to a shared spreadsheet of 650B tire

That's a beautiful bike. And in my size. But I just made a bike purchase
so I'm sworn off for awhile.
Every once in a while those Sequoias pop up on the ebay and I'm sorely
tempted. They have such a great reputation and your build is pretty
wonderful.
Good luck with the sale!

Manny, not jealous at all! Looks like fantastic times were had by all.
Great way to say good bye to the old year and welcome in the New Year.
Happy New Year to you.

Jan,
Agreed on the practical practice side, but I am still curious about the med
hi to hi pressure phenomena.
If I understand correctly, you say that from nominal to very high pressure,
losses in the tire itself decrease. But from nominal to moderately high
pressures, suspension losses increase
Thank you Lee, Michael and Mike, for the info

In the photo of your bike the fat bike parked together, yours looks
positively svelte racy! Maybe the orange color? Looks like a fun trip,
but no one in the rest of country will have much sympathy regarding frozen
water bottles. It sounds rough but you guys pulled it off with style.
Are FRs sold?
