Yeah I just hand-measured my new 61.5 Homer and got a similar measurement
to Bones.
Damon, I think a Home would be excellent for the purposes you described.
I've only had mine for a bit over a week but absolutely loving it so far.
As far as randonneuring/Brevets go, I got the Homer in part to r
I’ve used sidepulls and took no issue with them. I can’t claim to have
experienced any night and day differences. I just find that Paul center
pulls and levers have the best feel. They also maximize your clearances,
look sharp, and probably provide more powerful braking. In my opinion, they

My Homer is from 2019, previous version. Appa is 2016, also previous. Platy
is 2021. Clem L is 2019 I think, current model.
I’m glad no damage to your Clem.

Thank you for measuring that, Bones! The official spec on the racks on
buses here says the maximum supported wheelbase is 46”. 118.75 cm
translates to 46.75”. Argh, I’m tempted to think that the extra 0.75”
should be fine ™.

Roberta,
It’s interesting to see that the Homers reach 43” at the 54.5 cm size. I am
interested in wheelbase numbers for the exact same reason, although I live
in a suburb. Riding around, and especially commuting, is a lot more
convenient if I have the option of riding the bus back home or to the
61.5cm Homer (most recent batch) ~118.75cm wheelbase. The Homers have
definitely gotten longer faster than the Sams have. I found considerable
overlap (for my uses) between my Sam and Appaloosa. I no longer have the
Sam but I still have an Appaloosa. I now have a Homer as well. It has Paul
cent
That's "Ive gotten quiet a few "yikes" with the Platy (and Appaloosa--not
shown in pics) on bus racks." I put the bikes on there to test the length
and feasibility. I wouldn't put the Platy on a rack if the bus was to
move! :)
