Preferably 26” or maybe 650b.
I’ve tried the long chainstays and it does not work for me.

I’ll most likely equip it with moustache or similar “sporty” bars.
Please let me know if you have one available.

The frame is in outstanding shape as shown in the pictures. The stem and
handlebars are not included in the price. It is the Toyo version so made in

Can you be more specific about this 1x2 with a rear derailleur that you are
comparing? Is this a bike you have? Have had earlier? Saw in person?
Just looked on Riv's website and noticed that the 54.5 cm Homer has the
closest to what I'm looking to try: 62 cm stack and 36 cm reach. Never
looked at that frame size before, because I'm usually in the 59 cm and up
range, but there it is!
Any others I'm overlooking?

While I don't believe the Surly Ultra New hubs lack of a quoted weight
limit means they are unlimited, I do believe it implies that any reasonable
weights are not a problem.
Whereas the Phil ones have a limit specified.
If a company tells me there is a weight limit, I'm inclined to agree/obey
For current production models, the 57cm Roadini seems like the perfect fit.
57cm has 63cm stack, 38cm reach, and 62cm front center:

That concept is alien to me -- if I understood right, we're talking about

that would solve.

Hey All,
At Ed's suggestion, I ordered the Topeak 4349. I found a good deal from a
seller in Taiwan on eBay. It fits great on the 50 Platy, despite only
having 40cm between the peg and headtube.
Thanks again for the suggestions!

One big difference(at least for me) other than the price between the Phil
and the Surly Ultra New Hubs, is the loaded bike+rider weight rating.
Phil says 280lb/127kg for their Classic.
Surly unspecified weight on all their hubs.
I personally prefer the fixing bolt to the QR. Less stuff for people
If the Roaduno track ends are horizontal yes, that's a defect, IMO. It has
been a long time since I bothered with a rear brake on a fixed geared bike,
but just perhaps, with just 2 teeth difference, you could set up your rear
pads to work with the wheel in both positions despite no angled axle
Hah, even better: SA AM hub (3 speed freewheel, 86.54%, direct, 115.55 %;
and ASC (3 speed fixed), direct, 90%, 75%. I agree that 3 speeds is a kind
of universal norm.

Patrick, Roaduno drops are rear facing but horizontal vs. the Quickbeam’s angled ones. I presume that means you could not adjust chain tension without also needing to adjust brake pads? That ain’t happening.:)Sent from my iPhoneOn Feb 5, 2024, at 9:54 AM, Patrick Moore wrote:Two teeth will

Man, I am tempted -- $1295.00 for a complete SWB. But I'll refrain: I

Per their site (https://surlybikes.com/parts/ultra_new_hubs) Surly offers
their "Ultra New Hub" in 135 mm OL in both rim brake and disc rotor models,
and in 120 mm and 130 mm in a rim brake model.
I expect that this hub is very like their earlier one -- I bought a couple,
the first 18 years ago
