RE: [RBW] Re: FS: 56cm Blue Rambouillet "complete"

I would give my feelings on my 700c Ram but don’t know how different an animal a 26” wheel Ram is. Just from looking, there are massive geo frame diffs. Look at the HT discussed earlier. Look at how far back the rear wheel/tire is from the ST on the 52. Looks almost like a longboard bike. But

Whoops, you are talking about a Ram, not an Atlantis; scratch the Rat Trap Pass. But underline again the Elk Pass. On a 23 mm rim it ought to max out at 30 mm.
