thanks again for the nice words, everybody. the 50mm big bens fit comfortably. Will told me he had them on his with fenders, but there is definitely some finagling involved. I just measured them with the caliper and it came in at 46mm, slightly narrower than claimed. I rode the bike to work

I have the same color Cheviot in a 55 but mine is "junked up" with front and rear racks, fenders, and a kick stand. Makes me want to go lean and clean on the bike (but I won't - the Honjo fenders cost a fortune to buy and install). On Sunday, June 4, 2017 at 3:25:55 PM UTC-4, adam leibow

thanks for the comments - this green color is amazing. i was excited to see how it would look with the cream & natural colors. i agree & think it looks cool. it rides pretty amazing. very burly but also lively. not terribly heavy. i rode up some steep SF grades with it and it did just fine.
