Hey Andrew, I think I have the 61cm version of your bike! :-) Joe S built
some nice bikes! It looks great. Great bar wrapping, and the fork crown is
really unique. I've never seen one like that and love it!

The crown is the same as we use on lots of other forks, some of which
have sidepulls...thats why the recess. It is easy to fill in with
right-sized washers or spacers, and it ought to be easy to mount a
rack. We do it a lot, and since the crowns come out of the same molds,

I don't know how I missed this group for so long, but here's a belated
introduction. I ride a 65cm "Long Low," which was built by hand back
in '98 or '99, a Joe Stark frame. It's set up with half-step + granny
gearing, six speeds at the back. Great fun on long rides and in the
hills, and for short
I spent quite a bit of time deciding between models, the original
objective was a single bike to handle my varied style of riding, urban

Lots of research, looking at photos on the internet, 3 trips to RWBHQ,

The rear facing hole in the fork crown on my Bombadil is recessed a

Considering how notoriously awful Israeli drivers are, I'd relish this
opportunity. Still, I don't thinking riding thru Bnei Brak on Yom

You're in the Bay Area, aren't you? If you want to pick it up, you can

Joe,
Your explanation is very logical, at least for motorcycles where the machine
itself is quite heavy. I'm just wondering if for a light bicycle, where the
rider weight is so much higher, placing the load closer to the wheels
actually achieves the same purpose. I'll have to try it next time, but
