Bill, what is your calculated/actual final weight on your Charlie? Also, what does “tuned XTR” mean? Thanks!

I would have chosen the Roadini if the Charlie didn’t exist. The Charlie is, in size 53, lighter in tubing. And I love a dropped tube. Also the graphics and head badge and horses running along the chain stay are just YUMMY. And who doesn’t love that gold color? The above all made it the winner. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
