Aesthetic compulsions! Patrick, you are already on a regular sized bike
using circus monkey wheels ( (26). Just kidding of course...
maybe one of the frame bags like Jandd's or a large fuel tank from

Patrick, consider also the kosmic law of conservation. I'm sure you have
experienced it, for example, while cleaning your desk. You come across
something, perhaps an old invoice or random piece of paper you haven't
