Mock-up with Quickbeam's Dyanmic II/Jitensha bar: https://www.instagram.com/p/BHSyqaNh40Z/?taken-by=veloflaneur
I'll go with a Dynamic II and 610mm MAP/Ahearne bar with the Nitto Campee front rack. Albatross still ready for a swap-in... but I thought I'd try a flat-bar hand position to start with. Now, the question is mounting the rack: I could go for lower eyelet to get the rack nice and tucked in, but it leaves very little clearance over the top of the tire - or dork it out to the upper eyelets and have plenty of clearance. The Post-War Re-enactor in me wants to keep it close. The hobo in me wants it to reach new heights... Esteban San Diego, Calif.
