Agreed. My 53 MIT Atlantis is set up similarly. No hole shot demon but it is a joy to ride. On Thursday, November 15, 2018 at 12:58:30 AM UTC-5, Ash wrote: > > Thought's I'd post some real world data related to speed/weight > correlation. > > I was able to wrap up work a bit early yesterday and

Absolutely not scientific but I have recently had the occasion to ride the exact same 6 mile trip twice a day 3 days in a row on 3 Very different bikes. A Brompton, a 1952 Raleigh 3 speed, and a ‘75 Motobecane Grand Record. No speedometer, but rode equally comfortably brisk, what felt like the s

Looks like a kickstand mount, though most chainstay mounts I've seen have the bolts closer together. I'm kind of intrigued by this. I'm also well past the kid seat stage, but the long top tube, low seat tube, presumably good clearance... might make for an interesting, alternative take on my Clem.
