Thanks Dave, Shoji, Erl and Steve!
First commute on the re-built Saluki this morning went great. Glorious
weather, a warm afternoon but I had a late work release anyway. The bike
did great, the fenders and Bruce Gordon racks were flawless. I'm pretty
stoked about the build and bummed I
Those fenders came out nicely! You are right about the silky feel of a new
drivetrain! Beautiful bike. Congrats!

lighting
This is a beautiful weekend to ride it. Congrats.

Congrats on getting the frame back, Tony!
Wow! Are those dyno light wire braze-ons from RBW, or did you get them
brazed on while they were repairing the fork?

The bottle cage is always the hardest part of the build! Grin. I look
forward to seeing the build and more forward to ride reports and photos and
exploits! Grin.

Nice to have the bike back. Pictures of the frame on my
blog; http://dr2dc.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-salukis-back.html . I'm happy
with the color and the semi-flat topcoat, I wish the lug window painting
had a bit more care to it but I'll be able to touch that up myself. I hung

Looks mighty good. The green and cream brings back fond memories of a Saluki I
once owned. Now get it assembled and back on the road where it belongs. That
first ride will suggest that you should sell all your other bikes and keep this
one. That's what my Purple People Eater as someone calls
I'm using a recessed nut on my M-12. Going to loctite it when I get home.

Thanks Bill!
Your ears must have been burning I was just thinking about you as I was
loading the XO-3 into the stand to donate some of it's parts to the Saluki
rebuild! Never fear it will be built back up - back to M-bar's I think.
The Saluki should get a test roll around the neighborhood later
Just confirmed the frame arrived at home today... Good thing I'm returning from
a work trip tomorrow morning. 'New' bike day tomorrow!!

Yes, if you loose the fork crown bolt for some reason and your rack is
loaded the only place for it to go is forward/down onto the wheel or onto
the ground (depending on the strut length). Both of those have a fully
enclosed hole on the fork crown tab though. The Berthoud had a curious
feature
Thanks Bobby, Tim and Minh! It's going to be pretty sweet. And yes
Loctite/nyloc will be used wherever applicable! :)

Tony,
Do you think the Nitto M-18 or Mark's Rack share this failure mode?

Yes, there is little to go wrong with the M-12. No moving parts. It's the
cheapest Nitto front rack, while it's also strong and lovely. It's a great
option where it fits, and the Sackville Trunksack Small is a perfect match.
Sorry to hear about your crash, Tony.

RIGHT!!! Those are some choice components... Can't wait to see it back

I am glad to hear you survived the accident. I had something similar with a
fully loaded porteur rack with Wald basket break at the springboard. I was
lucky and stayed upright as my bike was like a plow. Then I saw a trick on
the Riv site of putting a toe strap around the rack and the head
Blakcloud - I've seen that toe strap idea on Riv's site as well and think
it's a good one. The Berthoud rack was kind of like a Nitto R-14 but for
the front so when it was no longer attached to the fork crown it naturally
was able to swing down/forward. I'll not use one like that again.
Ouch! Glad you're OK. That strap idea is a good one.

Excellent news, Tony. I look forward to seeing the build process unfold
and eventually getting in a ride with you.

Hi Tony,
I don't remember your writing about your crash last year! Sounds bad... Or,
at least, it sounds like the effect on the Saluki was bad. What happened
(to you and to the Saluki)?
