Tony: Congratulations on your new bike. Depending on how fat tired you intend to go, it may be a teensy bit too tight but you'll never know until you try. As Jim mentions, a 64 for 61 trade is also possible. Rivendells are sort of like money in the bank that way, and lots more fun. Since you mention it feels similar to your current bike, the adaptation won't take long, once you get the parts sorted out.
I can see a few "WTB" posts from you in the coming weeks. Treat yourself to a set of Hands on Wheels from Rich for starters. Pricey? Sure, but you'll get the real deal for what you want to do with the bike. dougP On Sunday, August 4, 2013 1:20:44 PM UTC-7, Tony DeFilippo wrote: > > What an amazing bunch of responses!
