Not mine; Peter White Feb 27 11:22AM -0800 Just remembered we have a couple of new Bleriot frames. 1 is a 53cm, the other is 61cm. $600.00 frame and fork. Plus, I'll mill the head tube and fork crown with the Campagnolo cutters so a headset won't wear out in a few months. Pete in CT --

Unfortunately it didn't go to me. I happened to be in a meeting, and was outbid and forgot to raise my max bid. Oh well. Since I did justify money for a new bike, I guess I'm on the hunt now. David Chicago -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

Nice build choices. +1 on the Phil 7-spd (or any freewheel hub)...especially if you prefer friction shifting.. I think 7 speeds is ideal; I've never been very adept at nailing my friction shifts with a 9-spd cassette, but maybe that's just me. Above all... choose what YOU want !! Peace, BB

IIRC, Bike Quarterly suggested that there is a sweet spot for wheel diameter/circumference. Basically 622X28mm (686 diameter), 584X42mm (676 diameter), 559X55mm (677 diameter) all were pretty close to it. So the fatter the tire, the smaller the wheel. Cheers, David "it isn't a contest. Just enjoy

I really wanted to attempt the "Bike Overnight a month" club (my camping trips are rarely under 24 hours in length) this year. While Portland isn't as balmy as SoCal, it still is mild enough (usually) to pull off camping in the winter. But I realized that I didn't have enough time in January to
