I wasn't trying to communally debug. I was just seeing if it was just me, and letting others it's not just them. For me, the issue has gone away. For roughly an hour today, "everybody's" handle was "RBW Owners Group" on the RBW Owners Group. Everybody's handle on the 650B Group was "650B".

Not sure what you're using as a rack, but why not just consider a different style of bike attachment hardware, like this: https://www.yakima.com/raptoraero instead of this: https://www.yakima.com/forklift That has to be easier than modifying or getting new brakes, right? Probably quicker too

Too bad that little $1000 protovelo Appaloosa frame on the Riv web-specials page disappeared. I think that would have built out for maybe $2200. My advice to your friend would be to get some fast, light, slicks, perhaps one of those new Compass tires, and then lurk patiently here for something

I have a photo of me standing next to the 48cm, but unfortunately, not riding it. It is definitely a small frame and, aside from the upsloping top-tube and stingy standover clearance, almost exactly the same size as my new custom all-around frame which was designed to replace my 48cm B'stone XO-2.

You're 5'4" and felt that the 48 was too small? By Grants description you should buy down and since I usually run a 54/53 size a 48 Hunq would be my size (I assume). But I am 5'9". I am sure the 54 would be too tall. This may be swaying me towards the SH. On May 2, 6:06 pm, Ginz wrote: > Hell
