It looks like my custom with a higher toptube..same lugs, same fillet BB
shell, same road fork crown, same clearances. Mine was designed as a
light-ish street bike that could handle non-touring loads and non-gnarly
trails, with plenty of clearance for fat tires or narrower tires with
fenders.
Let me know! Also I am selling a 52cm Crust Romanceur if you are interested
in purchase or trade!
Thanks,
R.J.

I really want to know more about this bike, Is it just an over sized
Homer/sam or what is going on here? It is beautiful but seems to have way
more clearance than is being utilised.

That's a smashing looking build and I love the black and white photos. Also
nice homage to those two priests riding their bikes.If you were going for
classic and timeless, I'd say you nailed it.

Busch & Muller make a fork crown mount specifically for cantis; it's made
of the same stainless rod. Instead of going upwards like the standard B
mount you have now, it drops down about 1 cm below the brake hole to dip
under the straddle; not great for fenders, but an LA bike can probably live

nothing with disc brakes I didn't even know what a naked disc-compatible

Ah! What a thrilling answer, Matthew! I am so happy and relieved that it seems to be weeks and NOT months that she will have to wait. Wonderful, and thank you!On Apr 15, 2023, at 12:33 PM, Matthew Williams wrote:Finally, a question I can help answer!Back in October, Rick at D painted my forks

Finally, a question I can help answer!
Back in October, Rick at D painted my forks and he did a fantastic job. RBW
advised me to expect a four-week backlog; Rick said the turnaround was about
two to three weeks.
Rick sandblasted my forks, matched the color, he added an accent I wanted, and
Like others have said, get the hub for the brakes you use. If you still
want to "future proof", get the SON disc hub for Shimano "centerlock"
discs. It provides a slightly stronger wheel build than the "6 bolt ISO"
disc version; spokes closer to equal on both sides. Also pick the 12mm

Disc brakes with quick release hubs are a PITA. Get the widest SON
non-disc hub that that you can afford.
But remember, this advice is coming from an overweight guy who builds new
wheels for himself several times a year, so I go all-in on wheel strength,
I have a huge parts stash, and I know
If you're thinking about "future proof", I'd just add this: it's getting
more and more rare to find new disc brake bikes with QR, so if it were me,
I would feel a bit limited with a QR disc wheelset these days. Most
everything disc is going to thru-axle. I'd get the hub for the brakes

I would agree with this. I've ridden plenty of discs (mechanical and
hydraulic) and always end up back at my trusty v-brakes that are easy set
up and don't scrape or squeal, I'd get the hub I like for the brakes I'm
using now.

Personally, I would just get what you really want without thought of
"future proof."

Disc hubs typically don't have the flange spacing as wide as a non-disc
hub. On a disc wheel, having the rim flexing from side to side isn't a
problem. But with rim brakes if the rim is flexing side to side it will be
rubbing on the brake pads, especially if you run your pads close to the

I'm looking to get the Son dynamo hub. Considering it's price I'd rather
