I must be an insensitive lug then, because I certainly do not notice a 7.29 oz difference ( 28oz bottle 3/4 full vrs full) which is .45 lb. For me that is a .2% difference in total bike +rider weight. I still find the 2nd parallel top tube unappealing visually. Must be that aging SoCal hipster

I really like to double TT. I liked it when brought it in on the bigger bikes and like the function of it. I like it even more on the smaller bikes (56 SH) where it could be argued that there is no real function. What's cooler than a few extra lugs and a spare tt? I also really like that Waterford

Of course you are right. Grant specifically said that since they wanted to increase clearance, they had to swap out the fork for one with more clearance. Presumably a Hilsen fork. On Sep 1, 7:24 pm, rperks wrote: > the rear brake bridge can be raised, but the fork is what it is unless > you in

Better or not is an impossible question to answer. What sizes are you talking about? Bleriots not being available makes them somewhat more desirable, I think. You'll be able to sell yours wrong sized one quite easily because of it (even on this board), and if you are getting a good price on the

I think the difference between the two bikes is use. The Sam can handle wider tires and uses Canti's ( most of them) which means it can do more rough duty than the Bleriot. If you do more dirt riding or fully loaded touring the Sam is a better pick. ~Mike~ On Sep 2, 11:05 am, Johnny Alien wrote:
