month, there are new products. Centerpull brakes, even high-end
freewheels are available again.

I have weighed an aluminum version of the fender-mount on a 1947 Alex
Singer (shown in our book 'The Golden Age of Handbuilt Bicycle'), and
it weighed just 134 g, less than a third of the Breezer rack.

tire.
Now you know why I ride 40 mm tires on the bikes that fit them. Even
larger tires might be nice on some very rough roads, but you run out
of room if you want a narrow crank tread (Q factor).

The skills you learn on gravel and snow do transfer onto the road. You
learn what it feels like when the bike is about to lose traction, so

tire wider than 30 mm, so there is no perceived need
for wider 700C tires. If you want wider tires, Grand Bois prefers 650B
wheels, just like most of the French constructeurs did. For the same
reason, there won't be Grand Bois 27 tires - that size is virtually
unknown in Japan.
