I am building up a Rambouillet frame that I bought a couple of months ago.
The seller kindly included a Dura Ace crankset but I don’t see my 65 year
old legs spinning that 53 tooth ring for very long. I have a Sugino XD2
triple with 48/36/24 rings that I pulled off my Saluki a couple of years
I'll echo what's been said already, that's an unbelievable collection of
parts. Wow.
I love the wide variety of handlebars out there today and I would run
dozens of them on different bikes, but for me, the Hillborne should run one
of two bars: Nitto Albatross or Nitto Noodle, and of course
Leah,
Awesome anodizing! Those parts are going to look so good on the raspberry
Platy! Nothing but beauty in your world.
I’d love it if we were RivTwins, but alas, my birthday isn’t until March
4th. We are both Pisces however.

Oh, installed bar flipped b/c (1) upright it would be *too* high, (2) the
curves fit palms better flipped, and (3) it makes the bike look a wee bit
like a cafe racer. I've done this to many a North Road bar.

Because the parts are rose and she's getting them in the spring and it made
me think of that song. So there ya go!

That is some serious jewelry! I'm looking forward to your finished Platy.

I can't comment on personal experience, but I can do Math (sometimes)!
Overall contact patch will be bigger for a 29xY" compared to 27.5xY" and
26xY" (exact numbers are tricky, but assuming same properties of tires
you're looking at about 5% greater area between each wheel size) allowing

This reply is quite late to the party, but I thought the video attached is
worth sharing. The narrator has, I think, too rosy an outlook about what is
practically possible in North American cities, but he does show that cold
weather cycling is not, or ought not to be, a real barrier, tho' even he
I agree with that! I did have a Karate Monkey with 29 x 2.1” tires that I
really didn’t like. Not enough float on sand and fairly harsh on the super hard
dried clay we have on a lot of our trails here.
26 x 4” was so much better all around for me. My 27.5 x 3” is very comparable
but loses a
26X4 is far better. Q factor be damned.

Curious: have any of you ridden both 700C and 650B fattish tires in sandy
terrain, and can you say how the extra ~4 cm difference in height affects
floatation, or for that matter, cushioning over small bumps like washboard
or tree roots?
Keeping all things equal, of course: similar tires, widths,
Lalalalalalalalalala, I can't *hear *you.
While I have come to love the Monocog, I think that a Pugsley would be
going to far for my taste, but thanks.
What is the Q on the Pugsley?
BTW, all, the Matthews is designed to take 650B X ~75s, tho probably not
under the present fenders -- the 650Bs
I can’t believe you are not going to trade me this frame for my single speed
Pugsley which is the bike you have wanted all your life but have never
acknowledged.

Once again (to the general audience, as background) I told Chauncey: I like
the way my Rivs handle; given the other design constraints, make it handle
like them; TCO is secondary." Well, it doesn't handle like a Riv -- nice,

What is the Front Center measurement?

Thanks Collin.
I am not sure if your questions were just rhetorical but I'll reply anyway.
1. the SH doesn't have to be like anything else I own (which are mostly
vintage steel with either 6S DT shifting or 8S STI "Click" shifting) but I
do generally prefer drop bars for all kinds of riding -
I built up my Sam with Noodle drop bar, fairly wide 2x10 gearing with
friction bar end shifting, and big 44mm tires. It's handled any conditions
I've come across in the Toronto / southern Ontario area so well that I
barely touched my other bikes last year. City riding, country roads, dirt
I am looking for a headlight to match with a new Shutter Precision hub I
will be building up.
If anyone has a extra light.
Thanks
