That combination may be one more reason for using SKS fenders, with the QR
attachments. OTOH, sticks can still jam your wheel even without fenders --
I recall my brother doing a very slow and elegant front wheelie -- he
avoided the face plant -- when a stick stopped his front wheel on one of

Doug: Don't hesitate too long if this really is your dream bike. It's easy on
this forum to get the impression there are Rivs everywhere, but the reality is
finding a used one in your size in a discontinued color can get pretty
difficult pretty quick. Sub-$2k for a dream bike is a deal.

Knobbies + fenders + offroad.
Is that safe?

When I acquired my Hillborne, it had Honjo Hammered fenders. I found them
to be very sturdy and beautiful but the noise drove me batty. They didn't
have enough clearance for my Smart Sam knobbies but looked sharp with
Barlow Pass ELs. I ended up giving them to Evan E. on the list. He used

I *think* that the Honjos -- perhaps other aluminum fenders, too? -- are
more prone to cracking if they are improperly installed with stress at
attachment points. I base this on a sample of 1 pair of Honjos that cracked
at the brake bridge -- I've owned at least 1 other pair of Honjos, at least
2 o
That is amazing with the green tires! Nice work.

I can't answer for honjo's, but berthoud stainless are rock solid and quiet for
me over 2+ years of use. I'm sure your off-road use will stress any fender set

Brilliant, Tom! Are those upside down Albatross bars I spy with me wee eye?

I finally found time to finish up my interpretation of the SimpleOne as a
'relaxed' path racer. I've always liked that green, and the path racer
look similar to the Pashley Speed 5. When list member Ben offered his for
sale, I bought it and set to work. Other commitments got in the way of fun
What are those tires? That is one beautiful bike.

Michelin did the same color in 700x30: the first-gen all-green Michelin
CycloCross Mud. Vittoria had a similar green/skinwall CX tire: the 700x27
Vittoria Competition Tigre, which is more of a grass track/path racer tire.

Hi Dave,
That's what I do, too. My PBH is 88cm. Extrapolating from the Appaloosa:
Based on predicted standover height I might take a 59cm, but then the TT
would probably be too long and it would have a double TT, which I don't
want. The standover on a 56cm is a little lower than I have with
They work fine but are annoying on the hand. When I bought them, they only

of stop for downtube installations. I'll be grinding them off. Just

When you mount Silver Down Tube shifters on barconn pods, the washer with the
square hole should have no tab at all. Either file yours off or buy/acquire a
pair of washers without the tabs.

As Keith points out standover heights are listed so you can also do
PBH - 2.54 = standover as a starting point. That is to say the
Standover should be 1in less than PBH (1 in crotch clearance in bare
feet).
You can fudge 1 cm larger since you are wearing shoes which lifts you
up, and 3cm maybe 4cm
Just email them...or hope Grant reads this post. If that 55 fits me (PBH 87),

That said, I emailed them on Friday and I’m eagerly awaiting their response.
