Patrick: Seeing how Rene S had his Bombadil set up (with such a wide variety of configurations) is what ultimately drew me to this bike. When I get my hands on it, I'm going to try setting it up with 2 basic configurations: as roadish as I can, and as beastly (ie fat-tired monster bike) as I can. I've attempted this with other bikes (including a Salsa Ala Carte, which was alot of fun), but somehow I think the Bombadil can stretch the limit in both directions... we shall see... hmmmm.....
