(I just had to edit that subject line...) Thanks everyone for feeding the beast! Velo love is so easy yet so hard to sate sometimes.
My intention with a daily Bleriot will be to equip it with a dynohub front wheel, which would *probably* be the latest Shimano, just to save a few $$. Perhaps I'll finally plunk down on the SON20 edelux and build myself a new front wheel for my AHH and "hand me down" to the Bleriot the SON28 that's there. What fun - I'm totally into self- powered lights. I'll probably go with Berthoud steel fenders for the durability, and the Tubus rear from my LHT. l was fine with SKS on my LHT until they self-destructed after only 18 months, and took a cool sticker collection with them. This doesn't seem like a very light bike at all, so I guess I'm hoping the tubing is ... eh, whatever... it's all about the ride! You know, I've been assuming 59cm is the right size for me, given a PBH of 85.25 and the fact that I've got 58s in LHT, Quickbeam, AHH, and a 59 Roadeo (and several 58s in other bikes elsewhere). Roadeo cross - that would be fun to see! I never did put a second bottle cage on that frame, maybe I could develop a special hand-up holder, especially for the cupcakes!
