Not trying to convince you to do anything - just complete my own thoughts, at this point. I just checked again to see if my recollection was wrong, but it isn't. Ram is indeed shorter than the same size Quickbeam, despite charts saying otherwise. (It's closer to a cm difference than a full

Charts. http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw/rambouillet/rambflyer/17.html My 53 Bleriot is a 77.5 so with a 54.5 TT and I love it. But I use a 6cm stem with Noodles and bars a little below saddle. Fisful of seatpost. So I don't want to experiment with anything longer. I have a short reach. 5'7" 81 pbh

Are you looking at the geometry charts and saying you like shorter top tubes than this particular bike features, or are you saying you prefer shorter top tubes as a general preference? If the later, you might still consider. I can't remember where it's written, but Grant once said something

I like blue Rambouillets the best. I fall in the category of a 56, but I like shorter TT's so I would get a 54 if I were to get one. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails fr

As it turns out, the seller lives close by so I checked out this bike this afternoon. I've always kinda-sorta lusted after something lighter & more sporty than my Atlantis, and this seemed a good price. Cut to the chase, this is a Very Nice Bike. Ticks all the boxes of lighter & sportier than

My size, though thankfully not my city (even if it's in my state). Dodged another bullet. Actually, for those who are thinking about a Ram, and especially a new one, Alex Cycle in Japan apparently has a few left. They list 50, 52 and 56cm blue ones, and 50 and 52cm green ones. Not even $1600 sh

Wacky bar tape? I'm hurt. I checked the seat post and I may have to change the advert. My other bikes have "Nitto" stamped on the seatpost and this one does not. So, good eye Jeff, and my apologies. -Kim. On Thursday, March 10, 2016 at 12:14:15 PM UTC-8, sameness wrote: > > Complete, blue,
