Those Honjos look nice, thanks!
Have also seen these 38mm VO ones which come in Black...

Need to check if they'll fit on my touring/commuting King of Mercia with 28c tyres, but I imagine they'd be very tight or impossible on a Steamroller if @HousecatHST had trouble with the 37mm PDW. -
Thanks for the replies. I really want to run 35c Panaracer Paselas so guess that is a no go.
Can't seem to find the 35mm hammered mudguards that you speak of @Aroogah. Would consider these for another bike with 28c tyres. -
Anyone fitted the Velo Orange 45mm (hammered) mudguards onto their Steamroller? I'm considering doing this but checking if they fit along with 35c tyres as advertised.

It's from Teesri Manzil... Yep, that's a 1966 R.D. Burman joint.
https://open.spotify.com/album/28pZBUZCuqVof7XSmthRCU?si=zARCju1TR-GjyRfysPBdaQNice collection of vinyls there. I've looked for old bollywood vinyl on my trips back but they're often used as decoration in bars/shops. Spotify is surprisingly good for that stuff tho.

Ooof! An Asha Bhosle 80s classic.
Here's a quintessential Asha gem with some Mohammed Rafi thrown in for good measure, from the 60s!!

@dubtap the pre-90s bollywood stuff really does it for me... 90s onwards, the music becomes more legit and genuinely awesome. Almost too nice and polished. But i do love me some A.R. Rahman.
Also, massive apologies to Bob Jackson fans for instigating the Mother of all thread derailments.

Good choice!

Video has some sweet Mithun dance moves. -
I had a Brook's B17 saddle stolen in Shoreditch within a year of purchase, but then I started covering my Swallow with either a plastic bag or a rain cover and no issues so far when parked (8-9 yrs).
But more importantly,.. Nice Bike @youClown!

Looks like a great machine, and a nice price too. I really liked the TR8 when I tried it out a long time ago. Seems the added sample capabilities would make this a total beast. Would snap it up if I still had spare time for music making these days but I reckon it would just gather dust like all my other gear.

Third dibs on stem, I can collect in London depending on location, I live East.
Would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy..
