Thank you. It's kind of a four decade anachronism. A 1980s build concept
and tire clearances. 1990s stem and 3x8 drivetrain. 2000s frame set.
2010s wheel set and handlebar. 2020s front rack and bag. Timeless 1950s
- 1960s metal fenders, retro-copy rear rack and saddle.
I'm going to
That rear rack is in fact the perfect one.
I think the Salsa Stem is actually my favorite part of the whole build.
Crushed it Bill!

One more significant step to a fully equipped "sport tourer" is now in
place on my RoadTrio. Soma recently had a tax-day 65% off sale on selected
items, and one of the items was skinny (41mm) Honjo smooth fenders. I'm
