by resilience, i do mean flat protection, not suppleness, though these are indeed nice and supple at the right pressure. On Monday, August 29, 2016 at 11:59:14 AM UTC-7, Ryan Fleming wrote: > > Not to be pedantic, herebut I take it you mean flat resistance since > suppleness and resilience

it is definitely much less of a headache to ship a frameset than a complete bike, though I have had quite a bit of local interest to me here in the bay area and prefer a local sale. On Monday, August 29, 2016 at 12:46:34 PM UTC-7, Scott McLain wrote: > > Thanks Bill! > That was exactly my quest

Seems like this guy has really limited himself by spec'ing "local only" in Las Cruces, NM. Maybe a factor in the price. The large size further limits his market. dougP On Monday, August 29, 2016 at 12:38:46 PM UTC-7, Joe Bernard wrote: > > Well ok then. Although a complete AHH with Paul cen

Thanks Bill! That was exactly my question. It seems like it would be much easier to ship a frame also. By best, I meant best $ return, least waste $ and risk on shipping, fewest headaches. I agree with your summary to sell as a frameset. Scott On Monday, August 29, 2016 at 1:28:57 PM UTC-6,

Scott asked if it is best to sell a used A Homer Hilsen or a used Atlantis as a complete or as a frameset. As with most things, it depends. What do you mean by "best"? Do you mean "fewest headaches"? Do you mean "least possible effort"? Do you mean "fewest days on the market"? Do you mea

Not to be pedantic, herebut I take it you mean flat resistance since suppleness and resilience are more or less the same thing in this context Anyway, price on the frame with or without the Pauls will make somebody happy, I suspect On Monday, August 29, 2016 at 11:54:36 AM UTC-5, adam lei

thanks! they ride sharp too! i love them, but they max out this frame, and i wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even fit when paired with a wider rim. they are not as supple as a compass but seem to offer a little more resilience in return. On Sunday, August 28, 2016 at 8:01:02 PM UTC-7, Ton
