I have a very nice 55 cm Flandria built bike with vintage campy
parts.chromed and painted at Elliot bay cycles with a Davidson
fork. Columbus tubing nice lugs..its too small for me and have
been wanting to sell it for a while.

our '95 trek tandem is the only bike I have Campy ergoshifters on. Trying to
keep the wife happy, steer this battleship and stay safe takes
concentration. I run the Shimergo setup with 10 speed Campy shifters and an
8 speed Shimano cassette.

In case anyone here may be interested, I'm offering up my 1993
Bridgestone BUB for sale. It's not in primo shape but it does ride
well and includes the original fenders and kickstand. The original
catalog listing is below -- this is the 50cm variety and will fit
pretty much anyone over 5'6" or so.
Thanks, Jim -- Ours were just observations, not complaints. You always answer

I should add that while I like to be critical of Rapha and their

maybe it would dry out real gum rubber if you soaked in it. Just rub it on

anything modern, then it won't matter even if you soak in it.

Most likely no it wont. 650B rims are a full inch larger in
diameter. 584 vs 559mm
Imagine the fattest 26 inch tire that Ram will accept. Subtract a
half-inch off of that width. That will be the fattest 650B tire that
you could take. The Riv geometry chart for the 52cm Ram says that
