Thanks for the write up and pictures. It looks lovely and I’m so happy you
had such a grand time. I see your third water bottle surprise behind the

I just love how that Clem turned out with the Xtracycle kit, what a cool
way to make use of that frameset.
Platypus is looking good too!

Cheers Joe, I appreciate your perspective there (And I can feel Ryan's eyes
right now, wondering if I'm going to sell). Yeah the recent touring on the

I owned that Bombadil and would say that stocky double-tube frame is way

combo is a better idea than popping for paint.

Hi all,
I've got a very lightly used <500 mi Appaloosa frame (sold with headset,

I have used tubeless tyres with sealant on road bikes. However, where I
live these days I get few punctures, so there's not a great advantage to
using sealant. There is a decided disadvantage if you have a lot of bikes -

If anyone has some of these lying around that she-er-he-er-it doesn't want,
I might well be interested. I'd prefer silver, but will consider any
reasonable color.
Thanks.

Yes, modern sealants are really amazing. I recall trying Slime some 10 or
15 years ago and finding that it didn't work well enough to be worth the
hassle (26X1.25" Paselas) and, when I did get a bigger hole, as from a
nail, I just got a huge, green, slimy mess. So I just went back to patching

Bones,
I have a Homer, Hillborne, and Rambouillet.
The Homer and Hillborne are closer to the same than the Homer and Ram are. My
guess is that you didn’t overshoot. Homer and Hillborne are both country bikes.
Let’s say I were to settle on two bikes and wanted one to be a light feeling

Patrick,
Congrats - you (have been) and are realizing the benefits of tubeless

frustation) learning about these new-fangled tubeless tires. But now that

Great feedback folks! Very helpful. I have been inspired to keep the
Roadini. I think I will bring the tires back down to something more fitting
of the frame, and keep the build lean. At the same time I'm made more aware
that my Clem H, which has been sitting idle for some time, should probably
