Congratulations on your new bike, Zach! Just one suggestion, the Sackville

Steve

3. Compass Loup Loup Pass tires, if bike is 650b
4. Get curent black label Grand Bois 650b 36 hole rims laced to
PS- congrats on the bike! Be sure to post pics so we can see it!

bridge on your Sam. There is on mine. You can bolt a fender directly to it
instead of using a bracket that hangs from brake bolt.
Also, slap some Iris
