Bombadil

[Peter M]

Ok, so first the good news, after annoying list members, measuring my
PBH 20 times and going through 4 different frames I can confidently
say the fit of the 52cm Bombadil is actually right on. The issue I am
having is really petty and dont hate me for saying it but I just dont
like the sloping top tube and MTBesque look of it. I have my MB2 for
any real MTBing and feel I have a good bit of overlap there. Again,
dont get me wrong the Bombadil is beautiful like all Rivendell bikes
but I just really prefer the look of a more road bike like the AHH. So
here it is, another trade offer for a 58cm AHH/Saluki. If I dont get
any hits I will just hold onto the Bombadil through the winter and
save up for a new AHH. I do have some money set aside right now though
if someone wants to discuss other options but I am sticking with 650b
so I am somewhat limited as to what I will go for. Really looking for
someone who wants to swap 58cm 650b AHH for my Bombadil. I know that
is a long shot but hey, you can always dream, haha. Link to some bad
photos (my college photography professor would be appalled)

Don't feel bad. I don't like looks of the more extreme sloping TT's either.

Now, the AHH, the Bleriot(1.5 deg), and Rambouillet(2 deg) are all sloped.

But they don't really look all that sloped, so they retain that flat TT look about them for that traditional frame look.

That's why I would buy any of them in a heartbeat -  I like everything about them!
