Hey folks-
I'll grab one or two from Riv if no one has extras they decided to hoard. Grey
or grey-grid preferred.
Thanks

Way too tall for me. I'd ride a 54cm Hunq. The 52cm Clem is close to what I
need, but a few cm longer would be perfect.

Pretty good. Ran them on a conversion. A bit stiff but not too bad. No real
reason to get them now that panaracer has 650b without the hypertext casing.
Also Pari motos are cheaper, and faster.

Patrick - I usually try to ride in lower gears during the first part of a

Very nice. I wish they still had them in that color. Not that there's
anything wrong with the orange. I already have an orange Rambouillet, so
it's harder to justify an orange Sam.

Great looking rig.
The Sugarloaf bag looks nice but it doesn't seem to really fill the basket,
any idea why they don't make them a tad bigger?

1) In spin class, *YOU* control the intensity level, no one else. 2)
You can have the same elevated heart rates during road cycling that you
can in spin class. 3) In your opinion, how old is "too damned old" to
risk an elevated heart rate?

While I loathe indoor workout machines (rowing & cycling) I have friends who
really enjoy spin classes.
Some of them don’t ride bicycles out in the real world but they use these
workouts to get and stay fit.
They enjoy the social aspect of spin classes, some get wicked fit.
Not a problem,

For me it boils down to this:

-drops/long reach for more "spirited" riding where I plan on pedaling

It's been many years since I was last at a spin class, but they had a
