You and I are almost the same proportions. I have a surgically repaired L5-S1 which limits my comfort in the long and low position and similarly cleared house as well.
I recently picked up a 1980 Trek 413 off Ibob to build as a bigger, better fitting bike. That is still in progress. Hopefully that will work, but I really just want an all day slightly spry roadish bike to ride without fenders on pavement generally for hours at a time. Drops included. I recently bought a BMC Monstercross and didn't cut the steerer and put dirt drops on and I love it. But I always ask for reach and stack these days as I know what wheelhouse I want to be in and if it doesn't fit I don't even bother approaching anymore. A few years ago, I wouldn't have even thought about things the same. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
