Don't worry your still in the race - the human race. The winner is the one
who becomes more fully human. Nice bike, but very big!

Great story that, like others, follows a path similar to my own (add a bunch of
injuries to my story). That said, my nine year old started racing cyclocross
this year. While I know my competitive days are behind me, it has been a blast

On our Bilenky (drop bar 650B touring setup) we have a B17 for the captain
and a Flyer S (ladies model) for the stoker. If you stick with the stock
non-sprung seatpost a sprung saddle for the stoker is a very good idea, as
the stoker will not see (and the captain will miss calling out) all of th
good job, the 12-step program...;)

A 42 x 650b definitely fits a Ram frame, at least on mine it does. I can

I think the blue and subsequent had more clearance than the original
orange and cream ones. In any event, even switching to 42mm Hetres will
result in additional bottom bracket drop, because the Rambouillet was
originally designed with 28mm tires in mind, and 650Bx42 are ~ 5 mm
smaller in diam

Just to be clear, y'all are talking about BB height. BB drop is how far
below a line connecting the 2 hubs the center of the BB is (syntax?) This
doesn't change with different tires.
