The Stoner Bike has landed

What it the BB drop? I love my cx setup on my Geekhouse, but wish it had a lower bb. I am too used to my FF with it's super low 80mm drop.

It turns out "RCR" stands for Routt County Road, apparently one of Kent's favorites.

hmmm

Bon Jon Pass tires, at something over 35mm, might be more of a jump than you want to make, seeing as you've remained comfortable with smaller tires through all the recent hysteria about bigger ones... but try the 32mm Compasses. Especially since you like descending, you might really get a kick out of all that traction. Get the extra-light ones.

But don't let me leave out -- congratulations! Beautiful, beautiful bike. May you enjoy it for years and years.

Running Stampede Pass (32mm) on my Warbird. Fantastic tire. It would roll better than the Almanzo's, I'd imagine. If you like the Vittoria's, I bet you'd love Compass.

Fantastic read. I recently acquired a used Moots PsychloX with TRP Mini-Vs and love the stopping power! You are spot on about getting use to the modulation (nothing, nothing, nothing, then all internal organs rearranged). Of course I've never used a disc bike for any long time period, so I have no basis of comparison but I have absolutely no complaints about my setup.

Congrats on your new ride and thank you for reassuring me on the choice I made for mine!

Well done!!

Velotel you may want to consider a frame pack for the stoner, saves you having to wear back pack and eliminate getting sweaty back. One of the best purchases I've made in a long time is the Relevate tangle frame pack. No more sweaty back for me on those trips I want to pack a snack,extra gear and smell the roses.

Awesome! Should've read this before your post about Italy dirt road trek. Now I get it.
Interesting to hear Eriksen is retiring. Makes me cherish my Eriksen-built Hampsten even more.
