My only wired taillight is a B micro, attached to a seat binder bolt with a little tab Fitz made when he made the frame, fork, and rack. The wire runs under the top tube, with the derailleur, dropper, and brake cables. Picture on Instagram:

I haven’t Toscos yet. There’s probably 6-7 different bars floating around my stash. Now I’ll put the Toscos on my list. Reaming the seat tube had crossed my mind. We are talking about a tiny amount. A dropper post is my dream. As it stands I don’t think I’ll have the height to run a 90-100mm

Graham was looking for a Homer in this size and just posted a WTB. I don't know if this sold, but if not, you might want to try and connect. TBH, I am maybe a little glad that I did not see the frameset posted, as I don't know if I could have resisted a Homer with centerpul braze-ons.

I too have the widest Toscos (with the 38.1 clamp dia) on my Gus. They’re super comfortable and give you lots of control for rough terrain. I feel like these bars were tailor made for Gus / Susie.On Nov 22, 2022, at 10:59 AM, Ryan Frahm wrote:Oh, and just a note on bars, I swapped the Bosco for

Oh, and just a note on bars, I swapped the Bosco for a 60cm Tosco and what a great swap it was. The front position didn’t work for me and the Bosco was just too high. Highly recommend the Tosco if you try some swept back bars! My first ride with them was 30 miles of pure comfort. On Tuesday,

I have also seen (on here) that you can have the seat tube reamed to fit 27.2. I’d probably be okay with it on the Gus but wouldn’t likely chance it on my Susie with thinner tubes. On Tuesday, November 22, 2022 at 7:33:20 AM UTC-8 jacob...@gmail.com wrote: > Scott, > I have an extra Jones
