Very interesting photo set. I'm curious about your own bike: the saddlebag isn't attached to the seatpost, so it must be supported by the fender. Is the fender reinforced in any way?
What holds the pump in place at the top of the stay? And: what chainrings? The small must be a 26; how is the upshift to the large ring? Thanks.
