Enjoy, Doug! And I'd love to hear any early impressions you develop.

I actually dislike using that tape for that reason. It is very
difficult to install IMO because it wants to twist and stick to itself
and getting it spaced evenly was a big issue for me. I much

Question: if I decide raise my handlebars by the 4 cm (~1.5") to get them
level with the saddle mid-point, and if I also want to maintain the same 20"

saddle nose to tip of hoods, how do I figure what length new stem I need?

In my humble opinion, a Roadeo would be an absolutely lousy 650B
conversion candidate. There is WAY too much BB drop on a Roadeo to
even consider 650B. A Hilsen/Saluki which is a low BB 650B bike only
has 67mm of drop. A Roadeo has 75mm of drop (or more, depending on
size). Your cranks and BB w

To unsubs
the CdlV is 670mm dia and the JB is 700mm almost exactly for both, so
I would estimate the drop at 15 - 20 mm with a load on the tire,
unfortunately I was in a hurry to get the wife bike done and the brake
pads on the Roadeo rubbed so I just threw the wheels on to see how
they fit but no test ride.
One small correction:
As you might have noticed, the bike has Nitto Moustache bars, not
Albatross. I guess I was too mesmerized by the second toptube to jot
down the information correctly.

Great work. Go ahead and take the time to trim the stays close to
flush with the top of the platrack. It's worth the effort. Do it
clean like Mark does in the video. Then if/when you run a SlickerSack
it'll fit right off the back, and you'll be able to fit large flat
