Leah, I think the rise is probably more important here. The Boscos rise a
lot more than the Billies, and are only a little bit longer from the clamp.
If you wanted your hands in roughly the same place, you'd probably need the
stem maxed out... which is why the faceplater is a good idea. Because
If anyone is passing through, I am on Warmshowers and you could ride one of
my Cheviots if you want. Please come visit. Charlotte is a great place to
ride. Here's a route where I pieced together many of our greenways.

I love all the bikes getting ridden. I think it's glorious to share them
for all to see and appreciate. I visited a friend today and was admiring
his blue Rambouillet. What a beautiful head badge. I could stare at Rivs
all day.

Leah - I don't think the 90 will be too short for you, although that's
based on nothing but a hunch really. The Platy's are long bikes, and my
comment about needing a real long stem for Billie bars is geared more
towards someone who is moving to the Billie from drop bars and is used to
that really
Jason, do you think my 90 stem is going to bring the Billie bars too close
to me? I can't find an 11cm Tallux (which I think would work) but there's a
used 135 mm Faceplater (which is really 124mm accounting for rise) I might
be able to get my hands on. Would Billies with the 135 Faceplater be t
As an aside, I finally found some cycling or more-or-less cycling shades
that fit my somewhat narrow face with Asian bridge, and only $25: Tifosi's
regrettably-named "Swank" shades, if you choose a more subdued color
combination. The narrow-faced and Asian-nosed: take note.
Interesting too: The wo
I just picked up the cutting wheels below and they did cut through a broken tap
so they appear to do a good job so far. And it didn’t shatter like many of the
cutting wheels I have used in the past.

Joyce, so glad you were able to get those Shikoros! I have them on my 60cm
Platy and have been very pleasantly surprised by how nice they feel on the
road; they seem to really smooth out the rough spots. So far I haven't had
a flat in a month of ownership even though our streets are full of glas
If you ever feel like you are getting too many flats on the rear (always
the rear!), a much tougher, but still a bit supple tire is the Marathon
Supreme. And it comes in 700x42.

Garth, you're a life-saver! I got busy right away and ordered the tires.
Thanks so much for the link.

I slip with a hand file a heckuva lot more than I do with a Dremel.
And the Dremel leaves so much less to finish after the cut. Sometimes it
just takes a few twists with some sandpaper.
I don't have a lot of Honjo tubular struts, but I've got a couple/few, and
snips/cutters don't make any sens

Like Matthews 1:1? Not quite; more road-like than even that "road bike for
dirt", though that Matthews is pretty road-like in fit and handling for a
bike suitable for 3" sand. Lower bar, quicker handling, perhaps even more

The saddle was in the right place, since saddle position (height, fore/aft)
is always my starting point for fit, but mine (floor model) came with 10 cm
stem and I was trying out Grant's suggestion that instead of shortening the
stem, raise the bar. But I didn't think it through: even raised as high
