Greetings from the Okanagan! Our household has 3 rivs from scouring the used depths of the internet. Scored a Bleriot from Vancouver Island, a Heron Touring from a fellow in the Fraser Valley and my partner has an Atlantis frame we had shipped up from Colorado and built up and got the wheelset

Wow - that's really generous Ted, thank you kindly. I'll let you know how things proceed. Smart advice about paying attention to the axle/bearing seat distance and to the rake. I should take stock and note that a new fork won't necessarily be plug-and-play. No matter how much I would like that t

Greetings gang, Wondering if any of ya'll have run ~650bx47ish tires on your Bleriot and what kind of clearance that leaves you with (granted this is rim dependent, in part). I've seen some images online with folks running Paul Racers and Ultradynamico Rose (650bx47.99) and Gravelkings (650bx48

Hi Gang, On the hunt for a ~55ish Atlantis/Appaloosa. To a lesser extent a Hillborne or Romanceur. Frameset or complete is ok. Older frame with the shorter chainstays also ok. In Canada so ideally on this side of the border, or I'd have hopped on that gorgeous Appaloosa in Portland already.

I'm glad to hear it Alexander. I'm pretty set on getting a 36mm pair for my Heron touring bike, which is kinda the max clearance I think to get in there and keep my fenders. Did your 27s and or 40s measure fairly true to size? The other tires I've been leaning towards are the 38mm SOMA Shikoro's
