Another thing you may want to consider is bringing an extra Voile strap as additional security for hanging your bike on the hook. One time, while returning on Amtrak after finishing the GAP, I discovered that my bike had bounced off the hook at some point. Luckily there was no damage or anything,
as the passenger could get it on and off the train on their own.
Obviously different conductors may feel differently. I'd roll the dice if
I were you. They probably won't say anything and if they do it'll probably
be a 'just so you know for next time'.

better quality than what I've found on Brooks. A purely subjective data
point, but I've never bothered with padded shorts or chamois. I wear
regular shorts or pants with merino boxers no matter what type of ride or
ride length.

everything worked
out perfect with my fender lines. I don't know if this will help you, Pam,
but I thought I'd put the info out there so you can make a more informed
decision.

long enough to reach down to the rear dropouts, and then either fashion a
diving board to the brake bridge (where you have your fender clip mounted),
or use another set of rack struts with p-clamps around your seat stays.

It’s unfortunate that this country never has, and never will embrace multi-modal transportation. Just think of all the biking possibilities that could be available to so many more of us, and not just those who live in major metropolitan areas. On Jan 27, 2024, at 8:00 AM, Leah Peterson
While I still have a couple of well-loved and trusty B17s in service, I am now a loyal Gilles Berthoud convert. I’ll second Luke’s recommendation on the Aspin (or Aravis if you’re feeling na$ty). They’re gorgeous saddles, the thicker leather doesn’t “hammock” like Brooks sometimes can, and
, and everything is
replaceable/rebuildable. Plus, they are a great company to deal with.

Very nice build! well thought out...nothing 'stuck on' or out of character
for its mission... I am also trying to decide between 57 and 61, and would
like to know the saddle height on your bike...

Welcome, Josie! Glad you’re here. As I’m sure you’re aware from Instagram, I took many cues and inspiration from your lovely Atlantis as I was building up my Toyo. As far as I can tell, you and I are the only ones rocking the Nitto NR20 :)BrianLex KyOn Jan 21, 2024, at 3:40 PM, Brenton Eastman
