Right now I have four pairs of hetres that are hermetically sealed in an industrial mayonnaise jar in my basement. I also have four pairs of pari motos on the way. I eventually will hoard 4 pairs of every known 650b tire known to mankind. Also I have an extra unused 650b wheelset. I have two hu

Re: [RBW] 650B dead or alive?

I agree with Jim that it's a good idea to stockpile 650b rims and tires in my basement. I think that there's still new 650b bikes being introduced. Don't forget about the Velo Orange Polyvalent. Also I believe that the Longleaf P/R prototype will be arriving soon. Ken On Tue, May 11, 2010 at

Funny you would say that. I bought my Atlantis at Aaron's. I have a 79cm pbh and he put me on a 51cm bike with a very tall nitto stem. Within 6 months I decided it was too small for me. Fortunately someone on the ibob list had the exact opposite problem. Their Atlantis was too big and they wan
