Yes! I believe that will be a success. I look forward to the ride reports on
it.
Patrick, your fantasy fixed Legolas might be cleaner than mine, but couldn’t be
nicer than mine. A 58 simply doesn’t measure up, proportionally.

Ha! Philip and Patrick of the Moore — the proof of concept of the custom

I just realized my "custom" is actually a stock 52cm cantilever Hilsen with
a custom color. Perhaps a Pear Green, then.

I saw a guy on an old, steel, fully rigid specilized stumpjumper riding the
Hobbs Hollow flow trail in Brown County, Indiana when I was there...I was
riding my boingy bike. The guy did alright on that trail.
here is a youtube video of it. 6-8 minutes of downhill roller coaster ride

That's my thinking, too, Keith. I momentarily paused on "Do I want my fancy
pricey custom to be my do everything street-and-dirt bike?", and settled on
definitely. If I'm spending that kinda dough on a bicycle, I want it out at the
bike park in all it's fancy glory, mixing it up with the $6000 b
56cm version of the Clem Smith Jr.; 700c wheels like the 59, but perhaps
slightly shorter chainstays; all-lugged construction. Done.
I know that the Clem was conceived as a 'beater' bike of sorts, but why
shouldn't the bike I ride 75% of the time be my nicest? If/when I do a
custom, this is
Fantasy custom? 62cm Legolas with Quickbeam singlespeed track ends. In sage

I'm still on the fence with the long chainstays Rivendell is making just
because I haven't ridden them yet. I have high hopes for my coming
Appaloosa though, so I will reserve mention on the chainstay length.
What I really want in a custom is a canti post mixte frame that can take at
least 2.2
I agree that 650B makes a great deal of sense with smaller frames.
I have been thinking of a bike for that (talked about *ad nauseam*) AM hub,
and dithering whether I want 26" wheels or 700C wheels. Perhaps it would be
an opportunity to try 650B for the first time.
Oh no! I've just made the decis
Same here, 650b Roadeo with clearance for 38 with fenders. I'm 5'7" and have a
couple 700c bikes, (RB-T and rosco road, both 53cm). Toe overlap doesn't bother
me that much, but the frame would prob be easier to design, the triangle could
fit bottles and a pump more easily, and it'd look more pro
Asking both; so ride, looks, and tires available. Good reasons.

'cause I'm not designing from an existing bike, I'm specing my custom. The
Rivendell Mountain used 26" wheels because that's what mtbs used when that bike
was built; now the hot ticket is 27.5, which I like better for ride and looks.
Also there's a boatload of tires available, which looks to be
Curious: you're the second person to specify 650B as a custom change from
700C or 26". Why the preference?

I look at the Cheviot a lot but the tire width limitations always keep me
from pulling the trigger. So the mountain mixtie in 50 - 52 cm with canti
posts has a lot of appeal .
