I don't know whether it is/was the medium or large messenger.
There was also an XL, but it wasn't that.

Kirkov - I have used Timbuk2 for nearly 15yrs. On the second one (4yrs) now.
I've only had the larger ones to use as day (or occasional weekend) bags - find it more stable to have larger bag <half full rather than a full small bag that bounces around.
They lose their waterproofness after a while, but remain strong / stable.
There might be better alternatives around now with ortliebs and others(?) making good quality waterproof bags.
Bags for the cyclist in general are pretty expensive.

Ive had about 10 in the last 3 weeks - need to replace the cheap tyres/tubes Ive had on since xmas.
Not sure about CS stuff - just had a look and theyre pretty expensive.
Need near-slick for rolling-happiness.

thanks eds

that's the kind of rep I like.
Do you mean the 'Rubino-Pro-Tech' over the 'Rubino-Pro'?

• Tech is marketed as harder-wearing / winter / wet tyre.
  

that's interesting, hadn't thought of those.
Do you know if they have a good rep for punctures?

Yeah Ive seen those.
Difficult to tell which are supposed to be the best protected 4-seasons or Gator-hards.
Ive good experience of Conti and Schwalbe generally so probably one of those

useless- grip or useless- puncture resistance?

I used to have 26'' gators (not-hards) that were pretty good in the wet as far as I can remember.

Would you be able to help with a seasonal question?

Which wet weather / puncture-protecting tyre?
Currently considering 'Conti-Gator-Hardshell' or 'Schwalbe-Durano-Plus'
(700x25s / ss rather than fixed)
Need something that will keep the glass / flint out in this wet weather!

Any views appreciated - ta.

Actually, 31trum.
I only found this site a couple of months ago cos I periodically search the net for old (90s) Pace frames + forks - as Ive always really liked them (but could never afford them at the time) and thought they would make a superb s/s project/commuter. So, of course I found yours on the 'stolen' thread here - built up just like Id imagined doing myself. Lovely bike that was - you didnt deserve to be parted. Im still keeping an eye out for it.
Anyway, Ive been watching the site for a while, but never posted - until today :)

Cheers : I know those on-one ones - quite like them. I nearly bought some once.

But these forks I saw were on a road /maybe cyclox bike. looked neater, tipped in towards a flat crow, rather than parallel.
This guy had a quite nice bike, but I cant imagine that they were mucho-mucho-£££.

Ahah. Hippy
What are those forks?
I saw some like that (alu + carb) with disk mount on a road bike on W-loo bridge a couple of months ago, and Ive been looking for them online & in shops ever since. reminds me of the old pace RC30.
Yours look similar, if not the same. Info appreciated. :)
Ps. I like the frankenstein look
