One last detail. I did that conversion on my Hunqapillar but the wide chain
stays for the extra clearance for wider tires forced me to go to a wider BB as
the 40 new "middle" ring was almost touching the outside of the chain stay.
Ended up going to a wider 113mm BB and a 24/38/bash guard, but
RBW has them. The one in fleabay should work too.

compares to other colors:
My AHH sporting a rear original color tan Acorn saddlebag, brown Berthoud
saddle, and other colors. I'd characterize the new RBW tan bags as having a

and grips (or remove the grips for a while) forward to pretend the bar is
further away and see if you prefer that. If your grips are glued it might
mean destroying them and then getting a new set once you've decided, which

I ride upright on B17 saddles on my Hunqapillar and Betty with no issues. I
actually find the width perfect for upright riding. I once tried a wider
one and didn't like it as the wings hit my thighs. Then again, I haven't
tried that in a long time and have a new never used B67 (unsprung) that I
