David,
I love the "raw" finish of your Bombadil. It works well with this
bike; really nice!

Eric,
I also tried the 60mm Big Apple on the Atlantis with Mavic T520 rims,
and they cleared the fork crown but barely. I became too nervous that
someday if the wheels went out of true, I'd wear through the paint
trying to get home.

David,
The bike looks very good. Actually, not too dissimilar to my Atlantis
(which Jim Thill built). Will be interested to know if the 60's fit
up front on the Bombadil.
50's work on an Atlantis, but 60's rub on the front fork. At least
the pair I tried did. Otherwise it would have been a p
Nice family (of bikes that is...) you have there David, and I love the
Bombadil Build. I should have my own done by now, but the weather here
in Pennsylvania has not produced any snow to speak of yet, so outdoor
acitivity is still in play. I was born in Minnesota, so I know the
winter drill well.
That came out really well. Looks like everything belongs together - the 50s
w/fenders look good. Congrats on a nice build.

Patrick,
I've tried only the Big Apple 50s but I'm confident that the frame
would fit a 60mm tire if the fenders were removed.
According to Rivendell's site, the 48, 52, and 56 cm models take 650b;
60 and 64 are 700c. I usually ride 64-65 frames, but the 60 fits just
fine.

Will it take 60s?
At what size do the Bombadils go to 650B?
