 Howdy,

 Wanted to share some pics of my (sorta) recently new to me rosco as I
 settle in and keep personalizing it.

 I bought this bike from list member Kai back in February I think. I
 really wasn't trying to expand the stable at that moment, but the riv mixte
 propaganda had been working on my subconscious and Kai was selling this
 thing a 15 minute ride away, and well, in the end I couldn't help myself.

 This past week or so I've been diving into a serious bicycle spring
 cleaning strip down /regrease/relube/ wipe off all the winter city scuzz
 /etc.. from my bikes and its been an opportunity to try some new things
 with the rosco, and I'm really liking how its turning out. Just using what
 I have around, and stealing some parts from my appaloosa.

 Couple of my favorite things about this build so far: Got the used
 maxxis tires at the charlotte bike coop for $10 each to see how big o'
 meats this frame can take. Getting a little close to those v brake cables..
 I'll probably drop back down to 2.25s for the day to day, but these big
 ones are fun. And I've had this nos xtr FD sitting in a drawer for a couple
 years because I bought it at a swap before I knew to think about the clamp
 size and its a 34.9. This bike has a 31.8 tube, and I was able to shim the
 derailer by cutting a plastic 35mm film canister. Very happy thats working.

 Hope y'all enjoy taking a gander at the bike:

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Nitto Racks and a Brooks

[Stephen Cavell]

Hey Paul,

Oops, not sure if that last email made it to you because i got an alert the
message was too big (I included phone photos) so I'm resending the info
sans photos:

The long struts are about 10 1/4” measuring from the center of the eyehole.

Looks like I did cut the shorter struts down by ~1.5” or so, with the bend
theyre about 6.5”.

if those are too short for you and thats a dealbreaker let me know, I could
bring the price down and keep the short struts or something.
