I am a bike baby who has only been riding my townie cruiser that I dug out of storage around my neighborhood for the last couple months. I feel like I lucked out in a major way by finding this at the bike shop this morning, the sole hot mayo Midnight Special, and in my size no less. Hot dog. I absolutely love it. I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to bikes but I'm pretty pumped about it, and already fantasizing about getting a brown leather saddle and brown grip tape to make it all coordinated.

:hellyeah: bike buddy

Trying out some new gear



What fork cages are you using there? Looking at Salsa Everything Cages and their various alternatives but it seems like everything is on back order except the full EXP+drybag package.

1990 Bridgestone RB-2 - forgive the bad photo, only one I got. Broke it in with a 70 mile ride this morning and it rides like a cloud. Perfect weather, new old bike, good times.

My tandems are very hard to no-hands, so I don't think wheelbase is that huge a variable.

Wheelbase by itself isn't, but when you increase the wheelbase without changing the rider placement then you change the weight distribution and make your own corrective ability by leaning forward or backward less effective (assuming you mean solo on the tandem, two riders is a whole different issue).

The hardest two bikes I have no-handed are a 20" BMX and my looongtail cargo bike so basically the widest possible range of wheelbases lol.

edit: picture for the picture thread-
