• Thanks for the kind words.

    @nogk: The stem is a Zoom steel stem.

    @Josh: Can't take all the credit as the Pelago 45mm fenders are quite a good starting place. Good radius for the 35mm Paselas. Yes, they did require drilling and some faffing but good quality aluminium fenders.

    @MisterMikkel: The toe overlap came as a surprise but I hope it won't be as bad with size 4 shoes as it was when I nearly crashed clipping the front mudguard with size 10 hiking boots :D
    The new owner seemed very pleased she won't have to commute on her mountain bike this coming winter, not to mention retiring her nackered old Miyata.
    She says 40mm studs is borderline during the winter, anything bigger just slows her down B-)

  • My wife rides an XS Omnium CXC with 37mm tyres and mudguards and have never complained about the toe overlap. I was just trying to make a point about the "ideal" commuter bike.
