Buy the Goodrich if it fits and can handle the tires you want to run. They
are rare and built by a true craftsman. The quality of Curt's builds are
second to none and most custom builders would attest to that and they have
a ride to match. I know because I had Curt build me a 650b bike that woul
own.

If it ever comes down to me owning only one bicycle (which I hope it
never does) it would be my Atlantis.

Given my choice between 650b or 700c I'd always go with the 650b and I
don't think 1 cm either way frame size means squat. I just like 650b.
Can't speak about the AHH but I've had more than one bike with each
wheel size and 650b wins hands down everytime for me. Just as fast IMO
and are smooth as b
I've never had any experience with them but have done this:

Wisconsin has a wide variety of terrain. If your in decent shape 50 to
60 miles a day is doable without feeling trashed at the end of the
day. Hell I ride that in the summer and I'm getting
Title pretty much says it all. I'd prefer the aluminum Albas. But I'm all
ears I'd consider other bars with a similar shape.

I would have to agree with both you and Mike but this bike will probably
see hard pack dirt and pavement. Not to mention I have more than one set of
M bars. In fact that's what was on this particular bike. Just time for a
new hairdo so to speak.

I've used Shimano Bar ends alot and generally speaking I almost always flip
them to friction mode. I cut my teeth on Suntour barcons and have just
always prefered friction to index shiffting no matter how many cogs I have
on the rear. If you're O.K. with friction only the Riv silver shifters are
If it'll fit buy it. Great bikes. I have one and it's one of the few bikes
I own I wouldn't consider selling. They will fit Jack Browns with fenders
(that's what I have on mine) which makes for a real nice ride. Not to
mention you can throw a rack (I have front and rear) on it and carry stuff.
What Jim says is well worth considering. I don't know how much I have in
mine but I know it would be way north of $800 if I would have bought
everything new (might be anyhow). I had it repainted and had used parts I
on hand that I used and it still cost me a fair amount of money . The used

You're frickin' crazy because you have a Saluki without wheels that needs
to be sold to finance this fantastic idea you have to make the Simple One
the ultimate bicycle to fit your needs. We'll be waiting for the FS add.

I prefer the Flyer to the B67 for said application. But that's my butt. If
you have one try it. What's the worst case scenario? It doesn't feel good?
I have a B67 I'll part with if you want wider.

Is she looking for a B68 or B67? The B68 is unsprung. The B67 is like the
Flyer only wider.

Years ago, in the 70's to be exact, I started riding and wanted to do a
century. I read everything I could get my hands on involving training for
cycling and running to build endurance. I came across this book called LSD
Running (hey it was the 70's) or something to that effect. The Author was
5.10 Dirtbags. I bought a pair a month ago and have been pleasantly
suprised at how good they are. I too ride MKS touring pedals with clips and
straps and these are the best shoes I've tried to date.

Always has made sense to me. I've had a love for bicycles since I first
learned how to ride one. I've lost my front teeth, broken my collarbone,
nose, and elbow while enjoying the freedom. Small prices to pay given the
countless hours of peace and solitude.

I think it's a helluva deal and a fantastic looking bike as well. You
not only have a bike you built yourself but a weeks worth of time with
a master of the trade. Hang a value on that.
