Do the Granola bars only come in 31.8 clamp diameter? If so, which stem are
you using? I like the look of the bar and the sweep is not as far back as

Yes! Pics are coming! I had to drop the bike at a repair shop friend because I
didn’t have the tool to service the bottom bracket. But prior to this I rode it

to adjust to its design. I think the stem is high enough

My best price performance point is with GB Hetre ELs, but Gravelkings have

I currently have Grand Bois on the Bleriot. They start out with very little
tread and now are pretty slick. I miscalculated the miles on my bike, the
speedometer says just under 7,000 miles, I think this was a new computer
when I put it on the bike so this bike may very well have this mileage.
There is a thread on the 650b group on tires, which may pertain here. I
used to have the Bleriot and it can fit 42mm tires with fenders. For this
width, I think the other thread mentioned GB Hetres, Rene Herse Babyshoe

Not so easy where I live to come across nice bikes, and so I have to search
far and wide. Found a bike I'd really like to get for my lady near

to pick it up for me and drop it by a shop that would ship it.
If so,

Well, the problem with cheap lenses is you may get lenses that let in UV light.
Your pupils are dilated to let in more light when you wear sunglasses, and now
you’re inviting damaging UV rays right to your eyes...
But I understand your rationale!

Hi, All,
Safety glasses in the usa are either trivex or much more commonly

The sports glasses folks all have proprietary brand names for these two
