Hi RDS,
Were you able to install fenders on your Gus?
What size are those tires?

On my Specialized Expedition, I bought some aluminum bushings/washers about 1”

I would try that.

I have the 1st batch stoker stem - I love the basic design, but way, way,
way too short. I am 6' but with 83 PBH so it starts out too low, but even
if I had longer legs and the stem were higher it still has insufficient
reach. I have kind of resigned myself to getting a black stoker stem and
Not sure. I swiped it off my 90s Santana Vision because I was trying to
avoid as much black as possible. Black with orange can be slick, but not

Yeah, that looks like a long-bolt-with-spacers install similar to what one
does on the chainstay bridge to maintain the fender line except you'll have
to drill your own hole. For the spacer, you can use a cork stopper, a stack
of pista valve nuts, or, if you want to be fancy, get a Planet Bike
