While we're speaking of steepness I'm sure those from Pittsburgh
and area know the Dirty Dozen . . . which includes Canton street . . .
.some 37% , yes that is thirty seven . And cobblestones . . . classic !
Canton stars at 2.25 into it .
that's a narrow, low Q crank, and you'll have to go wide enough for crank
arms to clear the chainstays. If you can spring for an SKF BB, you can
solve alignment issues with spacers.

I have tried different ways to carry a camera and lenses on my bike, and so
far have settled on the following preferred ways:

There was a road at least that steep in Gallup, NM when I lived there 20+
years ago; it went right up the side of a mesa. I recall trying to climb it

those. The cleats had 2 vertical extensions fore and aft that fit over

Robert! did you document the 650B conversion of the 450? I always
considered doing that but was unsure on the max tire fit (hetres?) and how
well it rode with 650B. I'm generally happy with min and 700x28, but it

You can also use a Phil Wood BB and adjust using cup placement (or use Phil
cups on a Shimano UN51 through UN72 BB). Or you can use an EDCO Competition

Olaf, this is a nice bike with quality components. Both the frame and your
difficulty in selling it t fair price remind me of my experience with a

I had the same quandary, except that I wanted to carry both a camera *and*

I ended up going with the Rivendell Barsack and Nitto F-15 combo.
I didn't want a front mounted rack bag or trunk rack because of bouncing

I presumed the 26 ones for you, just throwing out there that the B ones
measure in @ 50mm. So don't know if a 26 version would fit @ 50mm :-)
