I have an 8cm, “short quill,” Dirt drop stem on my B-stone and I’d
like to be able to get the bars a little lower. (quill is in as far
as it’ll go) Anyone interested in trading for an 8cm Technomic
Deluxe? (26mm bar clamp is what I have/need)
You can see the stem in my flick’r pics of the Bstone
Not mine. There is a bargain for someone.

yowsa! niftys at 75psi feel like my 23mm 700c road tires at 100psi.

Hi,
I have this old rear wheel that was built up using a mashup of
parts
700c 36 hole Super Champion "Gentleman" Rim on a Avocet hub with a

Well, different strokes, I guess. My Bleriot, on the whole, feels
MUCH nicer than my former pure road bike with 23's at 100+ psi. This
was one of my goals, and it's why I'm loving this bike so much. I
decided to go with the max pressure initially because I was concerned
about rolling resistance
Does anyone have one of these with pictures? I'm considering it for a
bike, but not sure how it attaches at the fork crown (will it work
with sidepulls?) and the bike does not have fenders so i can't attach
the rack to those.
Any other comments overall about the rack would be appreciated.

Is there such a thing as a Taiwan 64cm?
I had thought that size was only made at Waterford.

I think that there are 64s in the new green batch, but I could have
misunderstood. We were originally talking about 60cms because I was

You think.. nice! A new Rivendell frame for ~ $1K.
I can build a less-expensive bike than what I've already got, and it's not that

Andrew, sounds like a good set up. I'd make one change, though.
Instead of a free/free rear hub, I'd go for either free/fixed or fixed/
fixed. The reason is, you can always put a freewheel on a fixed hub
but you can never put a fixed cog on a freewheel hub. You limit your
options by going free/free

on the contrary, ive been riding my quickbeam with a fixed/free setup
on the free/free suzue hub, and so far zero problems. totally doable.
the secret is in having two excellent brakes. obviously(?) much safer
with a lockring but if yer not skidding to a stop i doubt it matters.

I'm not surprised about flex, looking at the photos on the VO site. The rack
lacks good triangulation laterally- the legs should be attached to the outer
rails rather than to the next inside rail. This has always bothered me about
this design and is why I haven't bought one. With greater late
