It runs 700c tires and can go as fat at 33mm with fenders. You should check the group out.<BR/><BR/>If I was in the money I'd totally get one of their new A. Homer Hilsen frames. Very tasty. <BR/><BR/>Unless you can wait then go with a custom Pereria (out of Portland I believe.) Jon Muellner (with SIR) just had a sweet 650b built. You'll see it on brevets this summer. Maybe a year wait...he would know.<BR/><BR/>BTW - look forward to rolling with you this year (it'll be my first with the SIR bunch. the WTS hasn't worked with my schedule thus far but i'll be at the Populaire on my Romulus.)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501403464000252553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996512539454415045.post-21392051595495655182008-02-13T19:27:00.000-08:002008-02-13T19:27:00.000-08:00davidson makes some great bikes, i kinda forgot ab...davidson makes some great bikes, i kinda forgot about them. thanks for the reminder!matt mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16714669646251289155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996512539454415045.post-3126296073795613142008-02-13T18:26:00.000-08:002008-02-13T18:26:00.000-08:00i was in a similar quandary. i had a cyclocross bi...i was in a similar quandary. i had a cyclocross bike, upgraded to an all carbon Look, which i sill have and i love. but for lsd i was looking for something, special, was thinking steel. my savior? ebay, no kidding. i found a circa 1993 steel, lugged Davidson on there for a price that was a joke, i wanted to pay more, it was worth alot more, but ebay doesnt let you do that. when i told the guys at elliot bay what i paid they called me a thief. <BR/><BR/>so now my road stable has a racy Look and a Davidson (plus the cyclo cross serving SS) and i added up the distances i rode both in 2007, the davidson won, by almost 1000 miles. <BR/><BR/>so keep looking, check out some online sites with classified ads (rbr ive had luck with) look on ebay, and hell, give craigslist a shot.<BR/><BR/>good luck, keep pedalingkregerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319396728888279986noreply@blogger.com
