I do not think Patrick Moore's cycling life would be enhanced by
experimenting with sew ups, unless Patrick Moore decided to consider sew
ups "cool". I do not believe there is any objective case to be made to
prove to Patrick Moore that he must try sew ups. Not speed,

ely wheel size then I'd personally
probably lean 650B for a Hilsen, but it would be like a vote of 52 to 48,
and my leaning may change on another day.
Both are great bikes.

Great story and congrats on your journey. Your Atlantis should have
excellent re-sale value. There are lots of Riv-fans who dislike the
extended wheel base of the current models and who don't mind the TCO of the
older ones. Surely they'll buy up your older Atlantis.

I think that falls into Joe Bernard's recommendation of taking a flyer on a
used Rivendell at decent price. Love it if you can and sell it if you find
you can't love it. Go for it if you can stand over it.
I bought a used 59cm Romulus this year, and built it but haven't ridden it,
because of
seat tube to where the top
of the top tube intersects the seat tube. That should be damn close to
58cm. If it's not close to 58cm then decide what size on the chart is
closer. To confirm it's a 58, match some of the other numbers from the
geometry chart.

El Cerrito,

I need to grab a bike right now to head over to the dentist. I'm going to
break my own self-imposed rule and ride my Romulus on its first ride. Pics
will prove it.

Just a baby in the Rando-community. You've got a good 35 year career ahead
of you. ;-).

On Wednesday,
affiti looking
offerings from Cycology. Those are too loud and too self-referential for
my tastes. Even high end fashion brands like Rapha and Ostroy don't have
anything good.
Does anybody have a model of glove that comes in several good-looking
options?

Sometimes, what's left of the second chain is still long enough for a
single speed build, etc.
