I wish I could test ride your MAP. I think your Saluki was a 58, as is my Homer (nominally the same bike). I knew you 'upgraded' and liked your MAP, and I'm intrigued by the concepts and the classic look of a 'traditional' randonneuse. That said, I had a long talk on a brevet with a fellow on a gorgeous low-trail Ellis who hated the ride, said the bike was terrifying to ride over 20mph, and was working with Ellis to get a new fork to increase the trail. I feel that people's opinions about bikes tend to tell us as much about the differences in people as they do about the differences in bikes.
To settle things, I think Steve should ship his MAP to me for a few months to try out. I'll take good care of it, honest :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
