  Mine are Dia Comp... the original levers are quite basic as it is. Sure I'll give them a go and they can always be changed back...

  My trusty Charge is still going after almost 10 years. I'm putting a King Carrier on and think it's a good time to put wider tyres on... I'm still on 28's, similar to the original, just wondering if anyone has experience with the Tap, a plug or something else with a 'Whisk' front fork. What's the maximum width of tyre I could try... Also recommendations on a good tyre to carry a load and a bit of commuting?

  I'm doing some more to get her into shape as a load bearing bike... Velo Orange Montmartre bars, reverse brake levers etc... Should be a bit of craic.

  OP, I would like to make an offer of £550, but can I have it with a green charge plug frame and bullbar handlebars?

  The concept of a 'roadway' doesn't exist in British English; it's called the 'carriageway' over here. Also, cycle lanes (not paths) are generally found in the carriageway.

  In this case, it would also seem as if the cycle lane in the background is the one in the opposite direction to the way in which the riders are going. :)

  Ah, I see. Thank you for the thourough explanation.

  It would also seem that the elevated gentleman in the photograph is not wearing his seatbelt!

  I can clearly see a cycle path in the background, why are all trese cyclists using the roadway?

  You're going to need forks with a lot less trail, those straight bladed charge forks will give awful handling with a loaded rack

  Don't forget low trail too.

  I think I need a session with Dr. Sheldon Brown... I need to study the effect of this 'trail' you speak of...
