Bump - someone emailed me recently (but then disappeared) asking is this is still for sale. It sure is - come check it out in Boston! Or take a leap and get an incredibly light and fun bike.
I'm tempted to just keep it for a bit and go through with the 650b conversion I had planned for it. I already have some nice wheels, RH tires and Mafac Raid brakes ready to go, but haven't found the time to do it. We'll see which one sells first: the Ram or the Wilbury and that will determine the path forward.
