    Any idea on the head tube length on the Lapierre, it sure does look short!

    So, the head tube length, with the head set is only 116mm? wow! That's short.

    HI Tim

    Yeah I enjoyed our conversation. Clearly I need to make it down to a Seattle CX race next fall. I'm just happy that people read my column. I've been threatening Claire that I would write terrible things just to see if anyone reads it but now I can just stick to positive stories. After we talked I emailed Claire and said "Yo, TIm Rutledge reads "Up North"

    I seem to have misplaced you email/business card?
