Roberta, as I noted above the Bleriot is livelier than I really want. I will get to ride my new Atlantis in about an hour or so, it is being brought here by the bike shop as it is a mobile repair and build shop. He took the Atlantis to his place so he could spend evenings doing it. I am sure

Collin, I did see they are sold out. From what Rich said in another thread he weight them as having a 2 pound difference, not an issue for me, I am not worried about the weight, I do a pretty minimal build, no fenders, maybe a rear rack. They are very close but not the same as to the tubing

Joel has heard from me, but for those reading this thread... I rode a Sam and an Appaloosa 3 1/2 years ago and choose the Appaloosa. I liked the Sam, but LOVED the ride of the Appaloosa. Last year I bought an AHH because I needed a bike for my office location and the more I ride it, the

If I came home with a Mixtec my wife would steal it from me Kainalu, I never heard of this model before, thanks for bringing it to my attention. BTW, I lived in Brooklyn in 1978 and grew up in Far Rockaway. On Wednesday, September 2, 2020 at 9:10:04 PM UTC-4, Kainalu V. -Brooklyn NY

The medium step through Rosco Bubbe would be just the thing! Or the Sam or Homer. I've only ridden an older and much larger Sam and it was the bees knees. But if the option comes around, the Rosco would be wonderful for you, and they're Riv blue! Good thing for all good choices... -Kai On
