Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Good looking!

Could you point me in direction of the fender seat tube clamp?

It's this chap http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/dmr-hinged-clamp/rp-prod745

Make sure you don't use too long a bolt, there's nothing stopping you screwing straight through the seat tube

The wheels werent cheap so feel inclined to stick with them. The lack of chainstay bridge on my Walvale did make me think lovely steel guards wouldn't work, but in hindsight seen a few problem solvers that might do the trick.

Would you have to switch to 23c? Would you even have space if so? Clearances look toight loike a toiger.

Probably didn't make that too clear, would fit guards if going down the 650bee route just those wheels above weren't cheap so keeping them for now.

Gotcha.

Similar position to me, my 700s weren't that pricey but have owned them about a month, not ready to invest further.

Maybe 2017 will be the time.

I see, a long winded way of saying 'anti'.

I see, a long winded way of saying 'hybrid'.

FTFY

Questions.

What frame bag do people recommend for the main triangle, not too big.

Is my rear rack too high?I think it's meant for 700C

What tyres should I buy, 26" mainly road and gravel, very little worse that rocky fire trails.

Can I run these wheels tubeless? They are Shimano XT mtb wheels.

Wheel look old, doubt it.

Rack look fine.

panaracer a popular choice.

Ant frame bag that fit with the length, proper one, not those heavy tiny one on that bike.

Both front and rear racks will be more stable when they are lower / closer to the ground. This is easily done on the front by cutting the rack legs down but you'll need a 26" specific rack on the rear for an ideal setup

Will look at cutting down the legs on the Wald. Rear rack sounds about right being non 26" specific.

Will check out the tyres and frame bag.

I absolutely love riding this bike. It's just fun!

Ghetto tubeless is worth a try, I have it set up on Mavic XM317 rims and they're hardly a modern design.

Gon crabbing? ;)

Cool bike, whats the thing on the top tube?

It's a mount for the child seat. Just waiting for child number 2 to arrive and settle in then me and child number 1 are going camping!

Anyone seen these in the flesh?

Might get one for working during the winter.

Under £650 for the full build, not too bad.
