Re: [RBW] Re: F.S. 55cm Bleriot frame set

My top choice would be the Schwalbe G-One in 40-584 You can get it for $40 each (plus shipping) from Germany . The Pari-Moto is worth considering, it's cheap and plush, and

[RBW] Re: F.S. 55cm Bleriot frame set

I'm looking forward to building the bike up with Noodles, Ultegra crank and derailleurs, and other components from a 1982 Trek 610 frame I've been using as my road bike. I have a Sam Hillborne, which is my do everything bike and the one I take to Utah deserts, gravel, dirt, trail riding, etc. I

I really enjoyed the Bleriot and I did not know the Hetres would fit. On Thursday, January 26, 2017 at 3:03:20 PM UTC-5, jeffrey kane wrote: > > It's a great bike at a great price. > PBH 81.3 will fit fine (and man, that's such a specific measurement that I > don't even want to think about how y

[RBW] Re: F.S. 55cm Bleriot frame set

I've had my Bleriot for 10 years now and I doubt if it planes (it does have a nice biplane though). It's more of a comfy do it all cruiser IMO and I find that I ride it more and more every year...especially during the rainy winter months. I took it out on a nice 30 mile jaunt yesterday on loca

Dave Would you say the Bleriot "planned"?I would not think so due to the OS tubing, even in 0.8/0.5/0.8mm wall thicknesses. John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ On Friday, January 27, 2017 at 1:44:29 PM UTC-5, Dave Johnston wrote: > I made a concerted attempt to ride ever bike I owned last year and

Re: [RBW] Re: F.S. 55cm Bleriot frame set

Dan, seems like that 55 would be the perfect fit for you, according to the Bleriot brochure and my experience. Try to straddle the top tube barefoot near the stem, it should be quite snug there. Then with shoes on and standing over the middle you have a nice inch of clearance or so. Typical rider

[RBW] Re: F.S. 55cm Bleriot frame set

I'm a little late on this but wanted to add my two cents. I have a PBH of around 81 (haven't measured it exactly in a while) and have a 55 cm Bleriot. I have found it to be on the small side for me. Remember, Riv frames are center to TOP unlike many other standard frame measurements of center

[RBW] Re: F.S. 55cm Bleriot frame set

I made a concerted attempt to ride ever bike I owned last year and my favorite of all was the Bleriot! Yes I have more expensive and "nicer" bikes made in Japan and America, but the Bleriot always put a bigger smile on my face. PBH 83, SH 72.5, Bleriot = 57cm 38mm Pari-Motos (I never felt comf

[RBW] Re: F.S. 55cm Bleriot frame set

One of the finest bikes I've owned. Sold it to make room for a custom and to this day still think about the miles I put on it. Got me into 650b and I still wish I had it but I don't. To this day I'm not quite sure why I liked that bike so much or why I sold it. On Thursday, January 26, 2017 at

Hi Derek, I'm 81 PBH, too. (Saddle height ~70.) I ride 56cm AHH; there's little standover with Compass 650x38 tires. 55cm Bleriot would work for me, probably you, too. If you're using upright bars, no problem. If drops, then it depends. good luck! shoji On Thursday, January 26, 2017 at 1:40:0

[RBW] Re: F.S. 55cm Bleriot frame set

It's a great bike at a great price. PBH 81.3 will fit fine (and man, that's such a specific measurement that I don't even want to think about how you got it) . It fits 42's (Hetres and/or Baby Shoe Pass tires) AND Berthoud S/S fenders. And will fit either Tektro long reach calipers or Dia Com

[RBW] Re: F.S. 55cm Bleriot frame set

I had this frame in 55cm and I have a PBH of about 79. It fit great with pullback bars for me, but no appreciable standover clearance. I think it would fit you better. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from th

[RBW] Re: F.S. 55cm Bleriot frame set

This is a pretty good deal IMO. If I had a spare 650B wheelset I'd be half-tempted, alas I have a spare 700c wheelset built up waiting for my VO Rando frame and besides, this Bleriot would be too pretty of a commuter :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group

Anyone have impressions of sizing on the Bleriot? I have PBH of 81.3. It looks like 55 may be a bit big. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rb
