Thanks guys.
I was toying with the idea of something a little lighter and sportier than
my 56 Sam.
The Sam felt a tiny long for me with Noodles, even with an 8 cm stem. Much
better since I changed to Albas and an 11 cm stem a couple years ago. Bars
more or less level with the saddle depending o
I'm rather surprised by the lack of interest in the Ram...is my pricing way
off? How about $1500 for the full bike, $900 for frame? Feel free to make
offers that are reasonable.
Thanks, Alan

Now that I have had some time with my Sam I have adopted a “Just Ride”
approach to enjoying it. I thought it would be fun to share a short list of
the things that have appealed to me most. Feel free to reply with list of
your own.
Riding in regular clothes (my favorite)
Flat grippy pedals
Although my Clementine was a naturally comfortable fit out of the blocks, I
did give myself time to adapt to the upright position and the Bosco Bulls.
I have no issues with getting up out of the saddle to honk up a hill with
this setup. And of course it it no problem to gear down and spin up. I
Congrats on the Cheviot Rene. I'm expecting mine later this week. I noticed the
cable stops were moved in the photos. Looking like maybe tectro in the rear and
Paul in the front for me. I'm interested in how your tire fender fit goes.
Those are the tires I'm planning on using also.
Pics please
Rene,
Thanks for the update.
I'm waiting for mine too. Excited about the blue.
Anxious to hear about your tire/ fender clearance.

Hi Tim,
Photos will come later, but on the Cheviot, since it's a mixte, the top
tube intersects the seat tube in the middle, not at the top. For the rear
center pull brake, you need the cable to be on the top of the tube so the
cable yoke can be in front of the seat tube. Photos will clarify. And
Alan: I went back and looked at your original post (I find it useful to
include the original FS post and photos in bumps) and it looks like a very
nice bike and actually a good deal especially with rack and bags.
But I've found over the years that demand will swell and dwindle; you might

I do not care for the look of the bosco bulls that came with my Clem (H). I
like the look of the choco moose bars on the Joe Appaloosa much better. I
like that the choco bars are flatter with less rise. I have contemplated a
switch. However, in the riding I have done so far, I have found the
Yes, I did (put choco-mooses on my Clem). They're great, wouldn't mind a little
more extension, but great regardless.
Still plenty upright and comfy, and I love having the triangle to run a cable
through on extended lockups in the city. Never having to worry about bar
slippage or fussing with st

Totally reasonable, and a great buy for the right person. If I didn't already
have one in that size, I would have leapt earlier.

If I didn't have a converted 650b Redwood if be considering this very
seriously.
FWIW, I paid $1000 shipped for my Redwood (came with 700c) with a very nice
parts package that I sold off and nearly made my money back.

I appreciate the comments of all. I could use the wheels and some other
parts for another project, so I may strip it down and relist the frame
alone in a few months. Maybe just think about it some more. Not sure yet.
Patrick, I'll let you know if the cranks don't get used.

On Saturday,
I'm sitting at home after bi-lateral hand surgery dreaming of riding the
C&O next year. What better to do than plan? I've asked about Amtrak, and
though I've had success receiving and sending a bike using a box, I'm
anticipating more bike shipping as I plan more rides in other locations.

BC -First off gorgeous Sam. Secondly I had a very similar epiphany in
2008, every ride was training, I needed to go faster lose weight get a
lighter bike etc. and finally realized that biking had become a chore, I
dropped the HRM, bought a steel bike started noticing the world around me

All good points. One more observation: watching this list the last year,
I've found frame sales tends to go better for the seller than full bike
sales. Not that you can't sell complete bikes, but many of the posters here
(myself included), tend to build up their own rigs and often have enough

Yesterday afternoon while out for a short but pleasant ride on the Saluki,
about 10 miles around a loop and five miles from home, I suddenly became
aware of a slight bumping sensation, which I surmised was coming from my
front tire. I couldn't see anything wrong with it but rode the last 5

Interior casing failures can happen from manufacturing defects. I've seen

Awesome! No truer words have been spoken. Had a nice ride today on my Sam
and didn't worry one second about how hard I was working! Life is too short
not to enjoy what we do on two wheels.

I've been wanting to try 650b on my romulus since I saw Leslie's ram
conversion. Then I was reminded again by Erl's rom conversion, So with
soma's recent 20% sale i picked up a 650b wheelset and changed up the

Sky,
Your 650b Rom looks great. I like how the 650b tires look on the frame. I
have 1200 miles on mine and continue to enjoy the ride. I am not sensitive to
crank arm length, as I know others are, so going from a 170 to a 165 worked. It
worked so well I am slowly converting all my cranks to 1
What a fantastic bike! I cannot believe this is the last batch. I thought
it would not be possible, but I like it even more than the Betty. The fact
that it's my correct size probably has a lot to do with it. But it's more
than that alone. Being able to place the saddle further back (Darn Brooks

Congratulations! I am looking forward to photographs!

thanks for photos of that beautiful bike! I am also glad to learn how much you
like to ride it! What is the leather cover on the top tune? Is that to hold a
u-lock or to lift the bike when carrying it?
I'll look forward to more photos. Congratulations again.

Thanks Erl, I appreciate the kind words.
I might go all the way to 165mm myself - I just measured floor to pedal on
the rom vs the saluki and the saluki has 9cm clearance (with pari-moto 38mm
and 170mm crank), whereas the rom has 8cm clearance (with 42mm hetres and
175mm crank). so i ought to
Nice build Rene. Thanks for the photos. The tire clearance shots are very

As someone else on this list would say, "APPROVE!"
I'll bet that ride is sublime. There are many wonderful details, but I think
you'll love the stem shifters. Enjoy!
