@A.Nostuh: The tires are called Schwalbe City Jet Borrowed them from someone in the neighborhood to try out. Was hoping they might be similar to WTB Horizon, but they are not. I didn't like them very much. Investing in a pair of Rat Trap Passes seems inevitable On Monday, 24 September

Looks great!! I always enjoy seeing people mixing it up with black components and non-Riv handlebars on a Rivendell. On Sunday, September 23, 2018 at 11:30:43 PM UTC-5, Ash wrote: > > Thought this color would go well with black componentry. I think it does > like fine! > Headset is still
