Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Tapered steel fork?

Well, ceeway sell these so I assume so.

Honestly, don't know, i can't find one.

Was looking at a Midnight special fork on eBay, but yeah it's a straight steerer from what I can tell.

I have a reducer headset in the parts box somewhere so looks like I'll probably be using that, once I find a bargain!

Lookswise they are quite close yes. But as the maker of your lowrider legs I must chime in and say that yours are much sturdier than Pelago's new Pannier Support. Yours have a total of seven mounting points whilst the Pelago only use three. Sure, it utilizes those pretty nifty modular bits at the fork end to fit a multitude of different forks but is nowhere near as good as a custom fit!

Always enjoy seeing your Stavanger, a real beaut!

Yes, I agree and thx! I have those new lowrider legs in my Specialized Hardrock townie and they wobble more when carrying groceries for a week. A little less though than the original ones due to lower position, I reckon.

Trying to kit out my sisters bike for touring - do butterfly bars and a wald basket work together? Can't see anything on Google

Yep. Had that setup on a gfs old bike

Perfect, thanks

Love this!

Understated class right there.

Very, very nice!

Huge fan of that!

Now I want to add drop bars on my hybrid again. Gorgeous, very well proportioned! What stem is that please?

How's the STI/V-brake combo working out for you?

The STI is working ok with the travel agent. It needs a bit more force though. You can feel it has more friction due to the pulley.

Great bike, thanks for posting

Ta!

Always wondered how well those pulleys worked.

@elHuron: Did you ever consider mini-Vs? Clearance wise you might me able to make it.

i wouldn't use a pulley again. it's my girlfriends bike and in the winter it's even worse with gloves, you do need strong hands.

next bike will be fitted with mini-Vs for sure, i think the shimano ones should be able to clear 42mm tires with 52mm fenders.

Can't find the little bikes thread so I'm just gonna leave this here -

This bike makes me very happy. What's going on with the brake lever and whatever that is it's connected to?
