Yes I have a Hobo bag that I use when I need to carry something. I
like this frame it fits me well and feels pretty solid. The handling
is real predictablein fact I had a moment of inattention that
found me wandering towards the ditch and I caught it just in time and
the steering seemed to
Beautiful bike Charlie. Enjoy it. Outside of wanting a bigger tire are
you otherwise happy with the Ribimos? The shape looks great. I've been
surprised that more people don't use them, but then, I think it's hard
to beat Jack Browns for a large round supple tire or Marathon Supremes
for a larger
I agree Mike.the Ribmos are fine but the ideal tire for my weight
is between 35-38mm (actual) with the Marathon Supreme being the
current favorite. The Ribmo seems durable and relatively flat proof
but not particularly speedy. Honestly though I have no data to support
that and don't even use a
Love the way the pump fits just between the double tubes. Great idea
to get a white pump, mimics the look of the white panel on the seat
tube. How are you liking the longboards? Can't help but notice that
those fenders are still short compared to aluminum Honjos/VOs, esp
forward of the fork crown.
Actually the fenders are by Planet Bike and came off my old Raleigh.
Your suspicions are correct the Longboards are a little longer. I tend
to cannibalize other bicycles to build a new one. I think someone gave
me the pump too...kind of crazy how that all worked out.

It's a very nice looking bike. Eventually am going to build up one of my
bikes with moustache bars and see how they work.
Besides the Supremes, also look at the Marathon Duremes. Have them on my
Sam Hillborne and they are nice. I personally think they roll a bit nicer
than the Supremes.
Yes..anything I don't have to purchase is awesome..I like the
mustache bars set high that's what makes them work for me.

To me, that is definitely the way to mount Moustache bars: on a tall Dirt Drop
stem. Get them up and not too far forward.
I've ridden my Hillborne a lot that way and it really works well for me. An
Acorn non-boxy bag works surprisingly well on such a setup and gives you
rider-facing pockets.
I like it! Makes me wonder if I should get the mustache instead of
albas on my forthcoming blue sam. What size tires are you running?

Panaracer Pribmo's 700x32 but I plan on something about 35-38 mm wide
eventually. I'm liking the mustache bar, its really nice for traffic
jamming on a commute. The brake levers are in a good position for
powerful braking and the more upright position is nice for that too.
The wide sprung saddle
oops! meant .Ribmo's
