I don't understand this comment. This means full fenders and fat tires aren't tangibles that might matter to other long distance riders in the rain in the dark on a 400k?

what is the rarified air of 'long distance' that makes fit the only variable that matters?

was this thread about race fit for racing across america? The guy was asking about frames, for crissakes. It's like, people don't ride bikes with long reach brakes on RUSA events or something.

Bizarre.

(Smoothie ES discount mispaint) I've been meaning to get a fit too -for about 10 years! - but now know a certain LD philosophy i'll take pains to strenuously avoid.
