My feeling is that when the Rambouillet was supplanted by the AHH, a few people

Definitely an epic ride! My legs burn just thinking of all that
distance and climbing with a fixed gear.

Hey folks
Just wondering what the general consensus is for the best combination of fat
and supple tires for 700c. I currently have Pasela 32c on it but would like a
bit more cush if I can get it while not going full on Schwalbe tank.
Thanks!

I had 700
Let me urge upon y'all that as porky as the Big Apples undoubtedly are (I
don't bother with the nasty, skinny 50s. The 60s I have are the LiteSkin
model at a svelte 800 gr) they do roll very well for their heft even at
absurdly low pressures.

My first foray into the world of supple(r) tires (after trying a few different
breeds of Marathons) is with the 35c Soma New XPress tires. They feel good to
me and I run them at 65-70psi or thereabouts. They're folders as well, which is
a nice touch. 35c in the Soma is noticeably bigger than 35c
You might want to look at the Bruce Gordon Rock 'n Road tires - they are 700x43

Michael,
As I think others have pointed out, there is a link to a geometry
chart for Riv's models at the bottom of the "frames" page.
If you compare the numbers for same sizes I think the rodeo has less
bb drop (i.e. higher bb), shorter chainstays, steeper seat tubes, and
less fork rake. The rodeo
