This depends on how one uses the bicycle. I have been using Albatros
bars on my Saluki with a big tall motorcycle style mirror on the left side
and sitting upright for commuting in traffic, however, last year I picked
up a LeTour and experimented with the drop bars. This bicycle is lighter

This is why I like Twitter so much. It's a forum where I can choose who to hear
from, and exclude screeching lunatics who are only there to agitate. I don't
believe in echo chambers so I follow lots of folks with politics/ideas I
disagree with - studies show that this "mingling" tends to reduce

I've posted in that thread!! I always have to check out any thread with
Rivendell, RBW or Grant Petersen in the title.
The "What is the poor man's Rivendell" thread is fascinating. I forget how
many pages it's up to but it's an old and very long thread.

I did get the rear 750 in both the recessed and nutted versions to choose
which one to keep. I'll return the other one if they give better clearance
than the Paul's. In that case, I'd have to get another front Paul to mount
reversed for the rear.
Thanks for all the great insights! I learned many n

I frequent a number of other bike forums - that particular one being one of
them. Over the years of spending time on chat forums, I've learned to
heavily discount a lot of what I read. I mean, anyone can post pretty much
anything they want. I used to spend a lot of time on guitar forums and i

It's good to see opinion swinging around; Grant and Rivendell deserve it,
and many of the opinions, con as well as pro, are reasonable.
But man! Here and in every other comment thread on every other subject on

The problem with many if not all of the multi tools I've used is that the
allens are not of the best quality, and (IME) after some use seem to risk
rounding out the allen holes.

Yes they do! Another solution is to buy a rear brake nutted version and use
a problem solver extender thingy on the front.
Either way, it is an easy thing to solve for.

The Bella Fiesta will solve the straddle cable issue. The diacompe may be a

Thanks Clayton,
After your first e-mail, I did some research and confirmed I was wrong in
my assumption. I've ordered a pair to try them and compare them to the Paul

The new gist I'm exploring is putting the rear one below the brake bridge,
per Sheldon's suggestion. This will allow me to

It is excellent.

Thanks, Steve. For now, I've ordered folding collections by Bondhus on
Amazon; $6.62 each and no additional charge for shipping.

I am aware that the Cheviot has no cp brazeons. I do own one ;-). Dc750 is the
diacompe model. Can be found on ebay as singles. That brake is designed for
centermounting. Nutted version is what I used as it saved me from dealing with
a Sheldon nut. Just fill the recess with a valve stem ferrule.
Patrick, Another source for some of the brands listed, aside from Amazon,
is KC Tools (kctoolco.com). I've had good luck dealing with these folks.

What do others think? Certainly cheaper than Bondhus (tho' those I ordered
cost $7).

Gota say, if you really want maximum fender clearance raid/compass is the brake
you want.
With the original arches you can more not em without braze on posts.

I had the Paul's CP brakes on the tandem. They work well. They open just
enough to clear a full 38mm tire but not enough for a 41. The specs show
an opening for a 55 mm fender but I managed to squeeze the VO 60s because
the frame had enough space to drop the fender down a couple of mm.

Another Bondhus vote. I have the loose L-shaped and the T-handled ones with
the ball tip only. These are from 1989-90. The loose ones I keep in a waxed
