Orange gringo baby carrier/commuter

Posted on
  • My old orange gringo is on full time baby seat and commuter duties.
    Will post pics later but it has a great topeak baby seat with its own rack, and a wald basket on the front at the moment, v brakes and too skinny gatorskin tyres.

    Im considering and could do with advice on

    1. Front porteur style rack that can take a pannier for commuting- back topeak rack doesnt work with normal panniers. Any racks that fit without front braze on?
    2. Adding discs- no issue- wheels, frame and fork are all ready to go so will be whatever I can get cheap
    3. Maybe bump up to 700c wheels- would be quicker for 7 mile commute but any downsides besides handling will change? I'm ok with that, it mostly goes in straight lines. If not tips on good 26inch all round tyres that aren't too slow, no punctures.
