uminum rims. I just
prefer those for now, for a variety of reasons. But sometimes I do ride

Open to other ideas and perhaps meeting up for a ride somewhere.

would shave ~2-3 lbs more of yours.
But just having lighter and skinnier tires will make it feel a lot
sprightlier.

Still hoping to make it. Count me in with 85% probability, pending some
work deadlines and timely arrival of replacement headset to be installed on
the Rivendell Quickbeam that is to be ridden in said event.

Thanks, everyone. Will try to figure out the "(sub)lime olive" code, but
failing that may go for Pantone 132 C or a darker burnt orange...

tad too big, but surprisingly not that much bigger than my 58 cm QB, so the
60 cm SO may be the Goldilocks. Hmm
