Thanks everyone for all the advice! What can I say, this is a great corner of

to put gears back on the BMC? Will I feel the need for tires
I decided to reimagine my 650B so my Sam and the 650B were not so similar. It

Which of these tires would you choose if your criteria were first, low
rolling resistance, second durability, and third price, and if you wanted
t
One option is a 17 X 21 Dingle cog (or White Industries DOS if you want a
freewheel). If you use the 17 for a 70" gear, the 21 would give you a ~57"
gear. If 65, then 53".
All this without the extravagant and appalling complexity of 2 chainrings.

Thank you, Matt B, for the link to the geometry chart. This bike is a size
66. I confirmed via top tube measurement, etc.
For reference, my PBH is around 93. I ride with a saddle height of around

Noting Matt B’s view on whether this is a 64 or 66 in Riv’s sizing, would you
mind measuring the standover height?
At the risk of getting myself into trouble, how would you feel about
