Thanks, Keith; noted about the spec limits of those bikes. I'll be interested to hear of your experiences as you continue to modify yours. And yes, nothing like a test ride. But fully 3" 622 tires are non-negotiable in my instance, so I'll regretfully rule out Hillibikes. Add to this another

FTR the current (I didn't reread the old mock brochure) weight limit on Susie is 205 lbs. If you're under that limit and like quill stems, there ya go. Joe Bernard On Sunday, December 19, 2021 at 2:33:31 PM UTC-8 Patrick Moore wrote: > Slight tangent to thread -- but broad views are the

Slight tangent to thread -- but broad views are the sign of a liberally educated person. I note that the Wolbis or whateverthehellitiscalled is described as a Gus for lighter riders. Given Grant's penchant for overbuilding, I'd guess that the Wolbis is fine for a 170-lb rider who never gets pinch
