Very nice, Joyce. Enjoy. Glad it was cool enough to warrant a jacket
given what you experience a few weeks ago. I was just up from So Cal
visiting our son on the Kitsap peninsula beginning of month. Just missed
the extreme heat ourselves.

Hehe, it is. I have a 53 I bought for an ebike conversion I then decided
not to do, and now I'm not sure why I need a custom *and *a Susie. But
every time I try to talk myself into selling it I go for a ride and talk
myself right back out it!
In my own experience, fixed versus multispeed freewheel alone won't make a
huge difference between bikes similar in other respects, at least on the
flat -- assuming adequate gearing on the fixed bike; differences come from
tires, frame and rider fit, and wind resistance. On hills, of course,
Joel - Could be. The Bianchi is fixed. When I did own a geared road bike,
however, I was always about the same speed on a fixed gear on a flat route
like this one.
FullyLugged- Wow, you're consistent!

Hi all,
I've been lurking for a few weeks. I'm reading this thread with great
interest as I managed to snag one of the orange Appaloosa frames from Riv
and am now speccing it out so they can build it for me. For the front rack,
I intend to go the route that Bones has chosen, the 27F Nitto
Bones, that 27 looks great! My only qualms would be that it puts the weight
farther forward than a Mark's or 32f. I'm running a Mark's on a different
bike and actually drilled a hole in the diving board so I could sit it as
far back as possible. I'm a bit anal about the weigh being as low and
Thanks for the solid feedback everyone. My plan to carry any significant
weight is limited to the occasional grocery run. It sounds like it would
probably make more sense to run a rear rack and a big pannier or two for
that purpose. I still want a front basket for small loads and it sounds
I'd venture that the geared vs. singlespeed difference is playing a major
role.
I'm always much faster on singlespeeds when the route involves climbing.

Turns our the seller backed out anyway, so it's moot at this point. Thanks
for feedback, though. I guess the Susie is worth hanging onto. ;-)

This discussion is useful.
I'm curious if anyone has tried the VLC Rockit rack? It looks like it might
be something in between the various Nitto options. I can't tell how well it
might work with panniers.
I'm also curious about the Rawland options. (With an additional low-rider)

The 34f is a lot of rack. The 32f isn't enough rack for a basket with any
kind of load in it. Not even because of the weight. The wald basket allows
a small weight to put a torque on the rack that it isn't designed to take
and Nitto says specifically not to do it. The Marks rack is actually
