Hi Dave,
Hey, thanks for the help. So, from my understanding you have the
original Carmina arms, which were recommended with a 113 BB, but you
used a Phil 119 BB which gives you the clearance you stated.
What does your chainline measure BTW ?
I've only found one other person online who use

Garth:
I may have posted this to you before, but I've got 180 Carmina's with
a 119 Phil BB and 46/34/22 chainrings - there is plenty of clearance
from the chainstays. I measured out 5 additional mm's back from the
ends of the crank arms along the stays and there's still lots of room
from where th

Got it - I see your dilemma. There are a couple of places here that
kind of have those conditions. I definitely don't enjoy them much with
the 50c XR's. Definitely big tire territory. I'm quite sure that the
Bombadil wouldn't be able to run what you are looking for.
I did run a Karate Mo
I've ridden a few Rough Riders rides down in San Diego - the website
is worth checking, and the rides are pretty "epic," as they say.
Chris is a lot of fun to ride with and the rides are have brought out
some really nice people. Remember - that RR meeting in Marin next
summer is gonna be cool. C

RBW has a Pugsley and it's a really fun bike. A lot more pavement

If I were in shape, I think I could grunt the Monocog up most of it,

Grant invent biking-+-running?
Garth: the BAs I have *are* 2.3s, but mounted on the Snowcats, they
measure an actual 65 mm.

65's? Not for the Bombadil... I think spec is 2.3" . . which is
58.4 mm. That would fit in the front . . . but I don't think the
rear would take that.
Sounds like you need a Puglsey! (If it's fits you) That way you could
use any tire you want to float over the sandy soil.

Dave: I need fat and soft tires for sand -- I live in the bosque near
the Rio Grand here in ABQ and the soil is exceptionally sandy; fine,
old river silt. And while 2" tires would work, they won't work nearly

I can' wait to get my Bombadil going . . . but I'm waiting on some
crank width info as the Bombadil's chainstay clearance is tighter than
I expected. I'm hoping to use a TA Carmina in 185mm, but finding the
correct BB size appears to be trial and error. I need lower Q
cranks . . .like my Zeph
Regarding wide tires and the Bombadil:
I ran Planet Bike Cascadia 65mm fenders - http://ecom1.planetbike.com/7029.html
- on my Bombadil with 50c Marathon Supremes during my summer bike
tour. .
The Marathons do run small and I had plenty of space. I found that the
limitation wasn't the frame. My
The rubber covers on the silver shifters look like the kickstand feet
from a Pletscher or Greenfield stand.

I'm intrigued by the tires on Mark's custom Riv cross bike. I have a
feeling those are th 700x35 Kojacks. I imagine Riv will sell them
soon.

Interesting and pretty photos.
I see that Grant has M-bars at what look like a couple of inches above
saddle, and very close up; almost like cruiser bars. I'm sure *he* can ride
powerfully like that, but doesn't that sitting position put the onus of
pedaling on the quads, leaving your other powerfu

Thanks for posting the link. Great photos! What kind of bar-end shifters
does Grant have on that prototype Bombadil? They're kind of funky looking.
