Current Projects chat and miscellany

FYI: sjs reckoned it would fit up to 28ctyres with mudguards on 700s, you might be able to squeeze more in if you played around with muguard arrangement (chopped up so they don't go under fork/bridge?). Otherwise head for 28.

Unless you go for smaller wheels, which might be worth considering if you really want this to be a utility thing.

Keep cranks short, has some overlap on mine with 170mm / 700s.

Have fun.

thanks skully :) got it in armourtex now,, nice to know it's got that big tyre clearance.. becoming less utility tho (mrs.dasmiller doesn't want a rear rack and the forks won't support a front rack..),, so looks like being a basket :) and that can be on or off.. so the bike's nicely evolving.. god knows how it will put itself together in the end :)

thaks for the crank advice.. 165's from BLB look like the best candidates for the budget,, unless i put in an xtra 35 quids into some ambrosio's..
going to put my miche/cxp30s on it, and yea might well take advantage of that fat tyre advice too :)
