I think there's a formula for determining the correct number of bikes
you should have. It's something like N+1 where N is the number of
bikes you already own.

I'm of the same mind as Benz. I don't think what I'm looking for will
conflict with GP's design philosphy. The frame I'm basing my requests
on was (I believe) a Grant designed Heron with Jan Heine's input as a
consultant. One of my favorite features is the 80mm bottom bracket
drop which seems

Doug, you make interesting points about French constructeur forks

Hey Jeff,
4.3cm is not a lot of fork rake. I think a lot of the low trail bikes have
6cm or so. I am pretty sure the Heron Randonneur was Tod Kuzma's project
and that the geometry was not tweaked to account for the front rack. I
think he basically spec'ed the frame with racks and fenders
Thanks for the link, Steve!
I've got a Huret Duo-par (which handles 13-32 just fine) on my
Hetchins and wanted to try something else retro for the new build. I
appreciate your input about the V-GT. The research will continue.

When I was looking for a custom, I talked to 3 builders all were OK
with leaving the d/t and seat tube markings off the bikes.
I did decide to have the markings put on, the design of the bike
just looked better with them.

Did Grant and Jan Heine ever work together on any projects? Those are
two good bicycle minds but also two very opinionated minds as well.
It sure would have been fun to listen
Isn't fork trail one of those taboo subjects like politics and carbon
bashing?

Jan also wrote several articles for Riv Reader. I'm not sure either
qualifies as collaboration.

Joel,
While I know Jan served as a consultant in the design of the
Heron Randonneur (mentions it in BQ vol. 4 review), from the
information I'm gathering from this thread, I'm thinking he worked
with Todd Kuzma. The last thing I want to do is spread misinformation
here. I was assuming that
