[RBW] FS: Susie 53cm Orange Medium Frameset In Connecticut

Frameset as received from Rivendell, never built or had any components mounted.My increasing age and my decreasing ability to ride is making me reconsider my need for this bike. I am currently in the process of building a small 26 inch Clem L. which will hopefully satisfy my future needs.

Anyone know what tire clearance is on a 55cm Yves/Betty? According to this, the larger frame can take 700x50, assuming a 650b would have a little more... http://type2-clydesdale.blogspot.com/2013/09/rivendell-yves-gomez-mixte-betty-foy.html On Tuesday, July 20, 2021 at 11:07:38 AM UTC-4 Matth

The Trans-Am is on all B-C roads, the latter of which can degrade to "might as well be dirt" in some jurisdictions depending on their tax base and count judge. Found many of them in our poking around, more in Kansas than you believe (before all of the gravel racing interest). I'm a confirmed un

Does anyone have experience mounting this on a bike with disc brakes? (Bb7) Looking at the images, it's hard to tell if the section that angles out from the dropout towards the mid-fork will hit the brake adjustment knob or not. Definitely close. I'd buy this if I thought it could be swapped be

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: 61cm Toyo Atlantis

I sold a near-pristine 56 cm Waterford Atlantis because it was too small, but I didn't sell it until after I got a 58 cm Toyo to replace it. Grant said Toyo is 87 points and Waterford is 100, or something like that. I like the Toyo's curved chainstays. They're at least an additional 13 points to

P.S. It turns out that my frame pump, Zefal HPX4, is a tad too short for 60 cm Appa (although it fits fine on 61 Roadini). To my knowledge, HPX4 is the largest size pump Zefal makes. If anyone has recommendations on larger frame pump (or hacks on how to make HPX4 work), please let me know. It's
