I think I caught something after being out in all the cold and in the

I'm feeling like I need more clearance for bigger tires, more braze-
ons, a kick stand plate, and a generator hub/light set up. The
symptoms of my illness seems to have come back after ten years

And then there were two! Just like my orange Hillborne, this is a 60cm

Thanks, Norman. Where did you find the official program and schedule,
if I may ask? I couldn't find them on the bike show site. If you
could provide a link...
I'd like to survey what else is going on, and who's speaking when.
If, as you say, Grant is speaking on Sunday, that's the day I'll go.
I have a 56 Atlantis, 5'9" and PBH of 85, and it fits great. I could
have gotten the 58 but found a good deal on a used 56. I haven't been
sorry.

Either 56 or 58 would work. The 56 takes 26" wheels, which buys slightly
fatter tire clearance and less "toe overlap", if you care about such things.
