Are we to assume this is a 55cm and up frame? or will there be a 53cm
like the Legolas?

Dear Owners Bunch
I have a very new 60cm Waterford prototype A HomerHilsen that I would
like to trade for an Atlantis. I now live in Costa Rica and I could
use the wider tire size. I'm in the states for 1 week. If anyone is
interested please speak up and I can supply the component list.
thanks
What kind of kickstand is that?

Count me in.
Esteban, can you recommend a good/fast bicycle route from La Jolla?
Would you recommend La Jolla Blvd to Mission Bay Dr. then connect w/
your bikely route? Thanks.
Best,

That is a Pletcher "economy" w/foot. It is wrapped and twined to match
the handlebar tape. The kickstand works beautifully and has a nice
spring to it

Just for a bit of context for those of us who are ignorant. How much
does a classic steel frame weight. Like say a late 70s Raleigh
Competition. And then how much does a Japanese 80s top of the line
steel frame weigh? Thanks!

Howdy folks.
My Xtra (got a cheap used one) is going on an even cheaper, kinda beat 700C

without a fender. That said, I don't see why it wouldn't be fine to get a

Just out of curiosity, what gauge tubing as used in your old Ritchey?
And would likely be used by today's makers of lightweight steel race
bikes, such as Richard Sachs and Dario Pegoretti? Is it even thinner
than the tubing spec'd for the Roadeo?

That's probably a nice ride, Seth. You'll want to turn left on the

Howdy folks.
The welded Allez may well be a nice addition to the market, but there really
isn't anything very classic about a welded steel frame (other than the
steel). Sure, there are truly classic road bike that were welded (typically
gas welded I believe) but it was never common on good road b

I've recently rediscovered kickstands after decades of thinking they
were too geeky for my bikes. In fact, I've kind of become sort of a
kickstand evangelist! I've got experience now on several bikes with
three major types of stands, the two you describe and the pletscher

Am also planning on it. Hopefully my Brompton will be able to handle
everything. My two test rides out here were acceptable.
Did you know there are hills in this area?
Let's hope all the marathon stuff is gone by the time we get there.

Doug's modifier ("ignorant") was referring to potential bicycle
consumers who see little difference between a bike like the Rodeo and
the new steel Allez. It wasn't referring to me, the forum member. It
