The fenders are SKS Chromoplastics. It took a bit of finagling, drilling, hacksawing, and screw searching to get a workable line. I'm pretty sure they're P45s. On Saturday, April 18, 2015 at 9:51:59 AM UTC-5, lukeheller wrote: > > So I've been limiting my Rom's tire size all these years? Doh. B

A few extra stems for sale. I installed them with various bars on different bikes while trying to dial in fit. I know for a fact that I have not ridden with the Specialized or the Nitto Tech while riding. I cannot remember if I ever rode with the drip drops installed or not. So, all of them

Mark, your Atlantis remains an inspiration. Obviously, you are pleased with the current set-up, but I'm interested in your experiences with loading. So far, I've been using a rear bias for my Atlantis loading, but you seem to be doing well with three bags on the front end. Have you experimen

I love it!!! I've been trying to convince myself that the 32mm Vittoria Hypers I'm running right now are fat enough because they are such nice tires. Yesterday, I built up my early 90's Rockhopper with my 55mm Big Apples and that's all she wrote for me. I'll never buy another bike that does
