Makes perfect sense. In a side by side comparison, I'm sure the Hunqa would

My single speed days are over. Time to let these go.

Nice bikes. The only thing I don't like about front bike bags is that
they hide the nice headtube paint and lugs from view. But I guess the great
function is worth it.

I did a little searching. I'm pretty sure I've seen the AHH tubing
thicknesses in print but I don't remember exactly what they were. I'm
thinking .7-.5-.7 or in that ball park. I found a thread on another forum
where a poster quotes Grant as specifying the Roadeo having .65-.45-.65
tubing.
The AHH tubing specs are listed in a Blug entry, I think a couple of years ago.

Well, so much for one of my fantasies (about the very low incidence of flats

Agreed, soon spring will be here and ride reports and mechanical questions
will balance out the parts sales. We probably all have stuff in our parts
bins we want to unload before spring, and hey I think its making both

I think the asymmetric rear rim is the greatest thing since sealed
bearings. It lets you build a stronger rear wheel with narrower axle and
more gears.
