Ive done a similar one from sf, camping at hawk hill camp in Gerbode Valley then a ride to Green Valley and Stinson and back. I always go up Coastal instead of Miwok..

Unfortunately I didn't have a lot of other rigid 650b dirt touring bike references to compare it to. I realized only after the frame was assembled that I hadn't put any thought into bb HEIGHT only bb DROP. The drop number is very useful at the frame drawing stage but height is the only important thing once the bike is assembled, and it's the only way to compare other built bikes. I guess that's what bike cad is for... or a really big piece of paper for the drawing. Next time I'm getting hecka high!Mark Inglis Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929083172396428679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810125166218249343.post-28089534305973225002013-12-07T22:55:54.855-08:002013-12-07T22:55:54.855-08:00Rock Springs is such a fun road.

Yeah, the low BB on my Atlantis has always really irked me, but it's more of a dirt-road-bike than a trail touring bike anyway.<br /><br />Your new frame looks rad! <br /><br />GabeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09420959095721289932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810125166218249343.post-75672653290391231352013-12-06T22:07:26.114-08:002013-12-06T22:07:26.114-08:00Glad I'm not breaking any ice around here, but...Glad I'm not breaking any ice around here, but that would be a huge framebag!<br /><br />Bike looks awesome. I am dealing with some pedal strike issues at the moment as well.
