They ride very similar, they always felt very supple and fast. I got more flats on them but it may because the road department seems to sweep more often now in my area. They're less available on line or locally to me so I haven't bought them in a few years. My latest supple tire for narrow is th

The lack of a horizontal bar takes PBH somewhat out of the equation. I called and talked to Grant and he recommended the 59 for me...a self-measured 83 PBH. He was skeptical of my measurement and said I’d probably be an 85. I like some flexibility in seat post height and on a 59 I think it would

You could email to ask Grant directly. The only statement I have seen is from Grant in that cyclofiend interview where he said Roadeos are 6/4/6. He didn't mention if anything differed among sizes there. Just that Roadeos are 6/4/6. But if someone has a quote on the fact that bigger sizes are d

I can't speak to the big frame, but having a PBH that was right on the cusp of the 45/52 sizes and having now owned both, I can say that if you prefer upright, one-or-two hand position, casual riding you'll be happy with the larger size. If you prefer a more energetic ride (which apparently I do

The ones from the 24" are 152 which is slightly better sized for his 160cm than the 165 cranks on the 26" bike. Bikes aren't selling well around here at this time of year, so stealing the others is fine for now. I may look into buying something others if the market for complete bikes picks up.
