I replaced the original black Brooks B17 with a honey coloured Team Professional Titanium model and I have left off the Blackburn low rider front rack for everyday use. I am using a long-setback SR MTE-100 seat post while I wait for a couple I have ordered in the correct diameter which may provide sufficient set back for the saddle in a lighter and more elegant solution.
I was delighted with ride from the 27 x 1 1/4 Panaracer Pasela kevlar beaded tyres, the only drawback is that I have to partially deflate the rear tyre to remove it because of the front facing horizontal dropouts.
