[RBW] Long Chain Stays

I specifically asked Keven if I could still lift the front end up a curb on this long bike before I bought his brown protoloosa. And if it would take a kickstand. He called those mature bike priorities. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners B
