Thanks for the heads up. I've been eye-balling that one and wondering if I
should settle for the next best thing. The real next best thing is probably
a Homer-Hilsen in a 69 frame.

Hah! I spent about five minutes trying to figure out the 43/26 gearing
until I saw your second post!
The (actual) gear range sounds great. It sounds like you really get a
lot of use out of the QB with the various tires/wheels. The pletscher

That chainring combo is a typo. It should have read 34/26, not 43/26.

This is interesting. I use the Tektro BM 57s on my Romulus, and the pads
end up at the bottom of the slot just like in the pictures of the Roadeo.
Looks like fenders would be a pretty tight fit with the Jack Browns, though.

Hi,

I ride Pasela 37s on a Rambouillet and love them. At 65 -70 psi (yes, 70 is a
tad over the sidewall rating) the limiting factor for speed is the engine, not

The Pasela in 37 is nicer than the other ones because it has a rounder
profile, the smaller ones are high in the middle of the tread - a
typical road touring tire.

You can get a Panaracer Pasela in both the sizes you're considering,
but I much prefer the 37. I ride it as my primary tire on my atlantis
on pavement, fire roads and even single track trail. It may not be
quite as fast on pavement, but it is comfy and can handle a lot of
dirt and rocks.

My favorite for this type of riding is the t-serv in 32. It has a bit
more profile on the siedes as the Pasela, a bit tougher sidewalls and
is not much heavier - compare them on the Panaracer page. AND it rides
fine in curves on fast descents. A tire like this is hard to find
somewhere else. Many
I appreciate the input. I grew up in the era of Schwinn Roadmasters,
so this stuff about Q-factors, chainstay splay & spindle length
represents a new learning curve; still more climbing ahead.
Thank You,

If so, I'll add my vote for Schwalbe XR's or Supremes. I've had good

I'd recommend Schwalbes if you want toughness & puncture
resistance.If you don't mind going with 35's, I think the Schwalbe
XR's are the way to go. They have a smooth center-line but pretty
aggressive tread for off-road use.

Wouldn't be my first choice with an Atlantis. As Patrick said, you can
probably make it work with a really long BB, but then the chainline
will likely not be optimal, and whatever narrow Q-factor you may have
hoped for would be thrown out the window. The Atlantis is really best
