@spotter, this one is fantastic. Really like the black wheels and tyres. It's a nice change from all the silver wheels and skinwall/gumwall tyres.

Looks ace fun, level that saddle though.

awesome. thank you

That Fargo though!

Awaiting the new 48mm Compass tyres, the original Gran Bois Hetres have yet to be removed since 2014, and it genuinely bother me as I've been aching to put the new fatter tyres on.

11-34 10 speed with 46/34 chainset, 9 speed Deore derailleur and Sora front, Bend the front derailleur cages carefully by using a vice at work, which mean no chain rubs on big or small ring, and shift great.

Cheapest way to get that SRAM YAW advantage if you will.

Looks legit. Dat front flap clearance.

I would pull in the base of the front fender.
Smaller entrance, bigger exit = greater safety.
not a euph

I'm more surprised at the lack of a rear flap!

I'm slowly cutting the stay shorter each days as it need to be exactly right otherwise it'll interfere with the quick release.

Tomorrow, it's time to bring out the dremel.

@Chak it's a tourer, hardly have anyone sitting on the back of me.

good plan, thanks Ed

An Ed bike without flaps is like Jesus without a beard.

Single sided pedals?

Or the fabled third 'scovle' flap.

He's invaded the chilli thread too!!

I'll get my coat.

Ah fuck, you know what I meant.

Yup, Shimano A600, it's like the road pedals that's equally easy to clip in without mishap (hence the angle they're at).

What's the font rack, Ed?

legit .. is that rear light camera thing?

That's still looking great Ed. I think it's my favourite forum bike.

Good stuff!
Makes me regret I didn't go for downtube shifters, but I really wanted all cables to run on top tube...

Cyclo, fit and forget basically, and @Sparky it's an Haulin' Colin porteur build for that bike.

do you find it useful? (light camera)
