Awesome. “Like a bottle around a campfire.” We need a word for the bikes that have a strong BOB-ish provenance. That was a fantastic bike, moved along when I got the Frances, which has the best tall headtube ever. “Campfire Bottles” Agreed that Reid was a fantastic trading partner, as was Eric

Re: [RBW] Did you have a 2018 cycling goal? Did you achieve it?

So...2018 was not a great cycling year mileage-wise (down from 2017 which wasn't high either). The thing is, I've been involved in a volunteer position that's kept me either busy or traveling about every other weekend. With that, I haven't been able to keep up my long weekend rides (usually at

[RBW] Re: Did you have a 2018 cycling goal? Did you achieve it?

I'm still working towards my goal, but I am on track to meet it. My goal is to ride 300 days this year, and I track them by posting a photo from each day. I've been done this for a few years now, but I take a break for a couple of years in between to keep it from getting to repetitive.

Re: [RBW] FS Feeler: 62cm Appaloosa frameset, RBW Blue

The Gryphon seems to have found a happy home here in Austin, but you never know! My BMC (and now my Soma GR) was a similar offender. The tall tube on the Clem gives it a very stately presence. I'd say if you want to run drops the Appa may well be a touch long for you. If you want to run

That Gryphon has been passed around the iBOB list like a bottle around a campfire. I guess that means it will eventually come back to me? My Clem is the 59cm, and I wouldn’t really want to go taller... though I love the huge headtube on your 65cm. It’s funny, anymore I judge a bike’s appearance
