I know what you felt. I ended up buying that Hillsen floor model. Great
bike. Tho' I am seriously thinking of replacing with 160 mm Q Sugino with a
narrower crank -- and possibly the B17 which, though comfortable, has to be
a bit high-nosed, which causes its own problems. We'll see.

Great photo story, Ray! I love the fun of experimenting with different

I do know that whatever the answer is, it might be different for the larger

Curious whether the butts and bellies of the Roadeo are same, or
lighter gauge, than the Rambouillet. Does any member of the tribe
have data?

I just knew there was a damn good reason to pick up that used 110mm
one on EBAY 4 months ago. I'm sure it didn't have any reason to do
with the fact that it's the best looking production stem available.

I still think this is the prettiest bike ever...it just never rode it

That's right. My experience with Schwalbe is that they run a little
smaller than the nominal sizing. The Kojaks are designated as a 35,
and on the Aksium rims, run almost exactly 32.
I have Paselas on my QB and they are nice for mixed road and trail,
but for road use the JB's seem to corner bett
so that would be the 700x35 model that measures 32mm? I don't see a
32 on the Schwalbe website.
I am about to order some new tires for my new Coho Randonneuse. I was
torn between the Jack Browns, 32mm Paselas and now I should consider
the Kojak too, it seems.

Yes, we really like the silver SRAM road group as well ... but they
are becoming really hard to find. Likewise, Shimano is slowly fading
to a Gray color with their comparable Ultegra 6700 series. We're
snapping up the 6600 series where we can.

Never had JBs but use Kojaks. They are great street tires. They are
durable tires with good flat resistance, roll very well, and ride
comfortable. A very good tire.
