Make it in Massachusetts: Indy Fab, Fat Chance, Spooky, Seven, Royal H, Peter Mooney, & Geekhouse

It has a strap around the tombstone. And yellow paracord goes up around the tombstone.

Making things weird, again.

So this was gonna go on the Spooky, ‘cause I didn’t think I’d have enough clearance with the super narrow posts on the Hot Tubes. Looks like it’s gonna work!

Second 200k with this awesome bag, ended up using the RaClips from Waxwing and the mount is rock solid.

What to do with this fella?

Lovely frameset.
Build it up as a nice summer bike (can't see any mudguard eyelets).

Thinking of a rinko build, I have some 10 speed Dura-Ace bits kicking around.

Need to figure out how to rinko-fy full length brake housing.

Had to research rinko, new one on me.
Apart from unbolting at the caliper end, not sure.

I think I may solder the end of the brake cable so I can slip it and the housing out of the guides. All the rinko instructions I can find have slotted guides.

I just got some LB rims with the grooved brake track. Still need to build them up for a 650b conversion. How are you liking the braking on yours thus far?

That'd work. Simplicity itself.

The braking is great, the sound not so much. Little bit of squeal with the XT cantis and kool stop pads, lotsa squeal with the same pads and Paul Mini Motos. Swiss Stops on Spooky cantis was the worst.

It’s been dry here, we’re in the middle of a drought so have not tried them in the wet, might be getting a thunderstorm on the commute home, so perhaps will be able to text them out.

Interesting. Thanks for the update. I’ll be running caliper brakes with swiss stops so maybe I’ll get lucky with the sound. BTW that Peter Mooney is beautiful.

So sending the Hot Tubes off to have the rear cantis
respaced, temp build on the Mooney while I wait for the Tubes to come back. Need to swap headset and figure out light mounting.

Excellent. Both the bike and your attire. 10/10!

Such a nice frame, don't think that I've seen a top tube to seat tube lug before. Really classy. How wide are the Schwalbes?

TT to ST lugs are fairly common I think? Unless you’re describing something and I’m misunderstanding.

The tyres are supposedly 33s, but they measure 32.5 on fairly wide rims.

My take as well, that’s pretty much the standard format for a lugged frame.

These just came in the post, hopefully will get them installed tomorrow.

Thanks, it's probably just my ignorance commin into play. Anyhow the new stem+decaleur+bars looks awesome

So new stem is 90mm vs 110 on the old one, and the bars have a bit more reach, but I guess the reach is equal to the 20mm lost, hood to front of post is the same measurement on both set ups.

The 440 M151’s have the same width at the hoods as the 460 Rene Herse Maes bars.
