I use my Lemolo custom panniers for short day or two tours. Anything
longer, or riding in rough conditions, the Ortliebs go on.

My key consideration was the mounting mechanism of the pannier to the
rack. Both Ortlieb and Carradice have a secure mechanism where the
pannier is mounted with hooks to the rack and cannot fall off. I find
the mechanisms that involve bungee cords and such to be less secure
and more troublesome.

Yes your housing stops are most likely in the way.
Yes getting bosses put on by a frame builder is a solution.
You should probably scope that out first before you decide whether or not
you still want to do it. For example, most framebuilders won't work on
your frame unless it's been
I could just cut off the stops and install clamp on shifters. It wouldn't

Hi, HC,
You don't say what diameter downtube you have, nor how many cogs you want
to be able to shift. If it is a standard 28.6mm clamp size then there
are a number of alternatives.
I'm assuming that there is room on the downtube above the cable stops for
you to attach a clamp-on shifter.
Rework is worth the read.

• standard 28.6mm clamp size

Yes i noticed too, was wondering why he was using Williwoods pictures, but
he's selling a lot of bikes (like 8 at the same time), if its not legit
he's really going all out for it, and the non-rivendell bikes look more
