LB always makes me want one. She sold me on the Brompton and three years
later, it would still win the "you only get to keep one bicycle" contest.
Now I really want a Clementine. But I already have a Retrovelo, which was
why I went for a Cheviot instead.
Curse you, Velouria. I want one.

I have a Tubus Logo Evo on my Cheviot. I really like the lower pannier
rails. I have actually ordered one to replace the custom rack that I have
always hated on my Retrovelo.

Despite owning a Retrovelo, which is a beautiful lugged loop frame with Fat

I love it. Another "I didn't stand my ground" decision that is going to
cost me. I don't need a triple. I will NEVER use that big ring. NEVER. So
even if it WAS worn, it would not matter. I shifted up to it once, to make
sure the FD worked (it didn't, but it didn't shift DOWN the small ring

I want to, but having just bought a Cheviot, I need to not spend another
$2k right now. I also know that I have to immediately replace the front
wheel -- no dynamo, no deal. And I don't need a triple. I'm basically never
going to use the big ring. So the $400 saved is gone.
Yeah, I still want
I found that a perfectly serviceable option is any reusable shopping bag,
like a Trader Joe's bag. No zipper, but if you use a net over your basket,
that's really not a problem.

For me a dynamo hub is non negotiable, so that rules out most complete bikes.

They did not pull the fenders off. They are still on the bike. I pretty
much hate the fenders. Every pebble, bit of gravel, grain of sand makes a

No shit. Who on earth decided that was a good idea? I rode down a curb last
night and the front fender scraped. Not cool. I'm taking them to Aaron's
and getting them moved. I'll stick a Rat City Bike Shop sticker over the
hole and be done with it.
Note to self: GIVE UP on the metal fenders. I
