I like this. Especially like the idea of a fiddle bike. Much more
civilized than a banjo bikeg. Also, great photos per usual Manny.

If I'm not mistaken, the OP has a Bleriot, as do I. Photos of Bleriot
production that are available on Cyclofiend's Bleriot page show a rack

Mine did a tad. I have a pair that measure 32 mm on narrowish Sun Assault
rims . I'd guess they'd go 33 or so on a wider rim. Good tires btw.

I have a set of these in 700 x 35. They measure around 33 mm on VO PBP rims.

The wife, kids and I spent the last week tooling around Seattle. We took

I fiddled with the Neo-Retro this weekend and it seems my blind tweaking
has worked. The front brake now has much more stopping power. The rear
Touring brake is still stronger though. I can actually lock up the rear
wheel without a tremendous amount of hand force.

Let me know if you decide to coordinate an order. Perhaps you could
get saddles based on the new B17 select (see

Very very impressive. The highlight for me that came for free is the
10,000% improved shifter cable housing. The original had some hideous
elephant ears.
The color matched rear rack is cute. The ultra-modern TRP brakelevers look
a little out of place on an Atlantis, but I totally approve
WD-40. Fast safe removal of adhesive residue is one of its better
applications.
Don't use GOOF OFF. It's a mix of aggressive solvents (mostly acetone), and it
will lift color. One of its intended uses is removal of dried paint.

Okay, your fall is worse than mine. Muscle and/or ribs are finally
healing. Even got a 40+ mile ride on the SimpleOne yesterday. This

I wouldn't say we limp and moan a lot here in Minneapolis, but grog? In a
handsome flask?Definitely--especially on those rare occasions when we have no
choice but to limp and moan because of the City's pernicious and vile habit of
seal coating roads.

I don't particularly believe you need a large pre-order. The saddles won't

being the unique stamping. Assumably, the stamp already/still exists

Yes, I have a Bleriot.
I get blue paint coming off on rags when I use alcohol on parts of the

I would think there would be a clear coat over the paint so this doesn't
