Only comment - If you plan to do Stan's Notubes (i.e. with a light tube-based tire) with the American Classic you might want to research it a bit. I know a few larger people (I assume you are a bit bigger because of the large frame) that had problems with the American Classic/Stan's Notubes combo. They switched to Bontrager Race X lite/Stan's Notubes combo. |

That's interesting. A mate has them who'd about 92kg, he hasn't ridden his now bike much, so might not be aware of issues... I'm 85kg, and might have probs - we do a lot of long distance rides in the smmer... Cheers all!!! Ssushi |
