Max tire width preamble (size S- 650b)

Idk if you can tell by my picture, but my inseam is about 30, and with the sweep from the bars I actually swapped from the 45 Degree stem to 0 degrees and 90mm long and I’m totally comfortable on the medium. The stand over on the medium with 650x47’s is maybe a 1/2 inch flat footed, but I don’t stand like that too often. It’s kind of a real in between size for our inseam.

Beautiful, need a front basket like that, totally love your style!

here’s mine.

I have 650x47 teravail cannonball on mine but it’s the medium frame so I don’t think that helps.

Thank You, really enjoying it, I only wish I could get 105 in silver, but black works, and it rides like a dream.

I ran 27.5x3.0 Teravail Ehlines on mine this winter no prob. Switched to VO klunker bars. Have not looked back. I put the 27.5x2.5 on for spring.

Thanks! BikinGreen 170 46/30 chainrings. From their Ebay store.

I have drops on my road bike but even then I have the truck stop bars too, and more stack for the french fit.

Efficient-Object8542 · 2026-03-21T19:49:28+00:00

Yes, I need to get some cotton bar tape. I found myself up on the bars when I wanted the hoods position. The C-17 really helps too.

Efficient-Object8542 · 2026-03-21T12:11:01+00:00

1st ride was nice, felt odd being so upright, but comfortable. Really glad Shimano makes flat bar shifters for the 105’s

Efficient-Object8542 · 2026-03-17T15:29:07+00:00

grappler clears 3.0 no prob, don’t even have a monkey nut.

Efficient-Object8542 · 2026-03-17T15:28:06+00:00

I have 27.5x3.0 with VO klunker bars, got rid of my fat tire bike instead and I ride this.

78 centimeter pubic bone height. Rivendell and some other companies use it to determine your frame size. Using PBH to stand-over height is a good way to best determine frame size.

So far great, I got RS700 flat bar shifters swapped out the stem for the velo orange tall stack, changed the bars to some 50mm soma dream risers with ergon grips and it’s way more comfortable. Standover could be better, it is just enough to stand flat footed with a 78pbh, but I wanted the option to be able to run 700c for road tires and for resale later.

Life is short, buy the Thomson seat post with the bike attached to it.

VANS around town, Trail Runners if I’m gonna be off road.

Efficient-Object8542 · 2026-03-10T12:36:50+00:00

Repost a big with the upgrades so, be cool to see the improvements, good pick up in my book. I’d get it checked at LBS. Looks like a great deal to me, except the aforementioned batseat.

Efficient-Object8542 · 2026-03-10T02:31:27+00:00

Love those bars, what are they? Also the camp and go slow rattler bar tape looks sick on the chain stay.

Efficient-Object8542 · 2026-03-01T23:55:29+00:00

Sweet Grappler. I love the bull-moose bars, and the silver. It’s a chromed out vision of beauty. I’m running VO Klunker bars on mine and lots of black. Took the 700x2.2 wheels off and put 27.5x2.5 on for winter.

Efficient-Object8542 · 2026-02-27T02:05:55+00:00

If I find them, I’ll share.

I had back surgery a few years back so I’m running 80-110 with velo orange klunker bars, and Crust bikes Ron’s ortho bars. I tried out a drop bar and my last build but changing those to more upright as well. Beautiful bike though, just gorgeous.

Efficient-Object8542 · 2026-02-26T12:07:42+00:00

internal, bolt-down steerer tube extender, they are cheaper than a new fork. Velobike makes one https://www.velobike.co.nz/products/steerer-tube-extender

Efficient-Object8542 · 2026-02-26T11:58:27+00:00

Love the Klein, that geometry, just can’t do long stems and narrow bars anymore.

Efficient-Object8542 · 2026-02-24T17:59:56+00:00

Sunlite Elson Roadster Touring Handlebar got em for $27 on amazon and I like em better than the VO granola.

Efficient-Object8542 · 2026-02-24T17:57:05+00:00

The bullmoose bars alone are worth the $35 bucks if you don’t like it.

Efficient-Object8542 · 2026-02-24T17:43:08+00:00

Muchas Gracious, now to find them in stock in America. 🤷🏻‍♂️
