Thanks, your Susie with the skinwalls, Brooks, and Persuader bar really appeals to my aesthetic. I sure do like the look of that bar. On Saturday, January 30, 2021 at 8:22:48 PM UTC-8 duh...@gmail.com wrote: > Looking good! > > Something about an Atlantis with skinwalls... > > On Saturday, Janu

I largely agree with Clark. My '91 MB2 was "light" and "snappy" compared to the Susie, but I never really felt comfortable on it. The Susie is what you want your bike to be, but it isn't. On Saturday, January 30, 2021 at 2:19:10 PM UTC-8 Clark Fitzgerald wrote: > Sam- The Susie is completely

Slightly longer chain stays, not much, since it now takes a larger tire compared to sidepull version — hooray. Geometry is essentially same otherwise I believe. I have a 62 double TT, wife has a 58, both sidepulls. The newer 60 canti is of so close geometrically to the 62 sidepull. Tom On Sat, Ja

Hi John, I rebuild a set last year, you just need a socket that will fit down in there to get that nut off...one side is threads reversed, If I remember correctly. Then with a pick or fat screw, get the old bearing out.. In hind sight, if I had to do it again, I would toss the pedals in the garb

In an email back in early September, Will mentioned that they have lengthened the chainstays on the newest Sams. The 60cm now has 48.5cm chainstays... which is pretty close to the 61.5 Homer (49cm). Tubing, tire clearance and brake type seem to be what sets them apart. Bones On Saturday, Janua

"Sam shorter than Homer" My guess is it's an older design they've decided to leave alone for buyers wary of the super-long stays of the newer models. On Saturday, January 30, 2021 at 12:36:42 PM UTC-8 Sean B. wrote: > Why do you think the chainstays on the Hillborne are shorter than the AHH?

Sam- The Susie is completely different from a stock MB2. Susie has higher bars for a more upright position centered over your feet, wider tires, and a longer wheelbase. I found the Susie much more comfortable and confidence inspiring on rough terrain. I sold my 1992 MB2 and bought an Atlantis- n

Why do you think the chainstays on the Hillborne are shorter than the AHH? With the AHH being more of a roadish bike, I would imagine it would be opposite. On Sunday, September 6, 2020 at 10:35:49 AM UTC-5 bjmi...@gmail.com wrote: > What I really like about Rivendell is that they do have a han

To clarify sizing: As far as I can tell, Trek used *Center to Top* of seat tube to identify sizes offered. So their "Size 22.5" (57cm) is the seat tube measured *Center to Top*. Measured *Center to Center*, the seat tube is 56cm (~22 in). Measure *Center to Center*, the top tube is 56cm (~22 in).
