Thanks Ron. FWIW I would definitely want the longer stays. I’ve pretty much determined my sweet spot for the majority of my riding is 35mm in a 622. So long as I can fit a 35mm tire with metal fenders, I’m a happy camper. Not the skinniest, not the fattest, just right. I know this is a

Love, love, love, that Mercian! Thanks for the head's up on the Decaleur and the great post with all the deets. As an owner of the horizontal decaleur, I concur that it's a great product. Nice to know I can find parts as needed now, or another for a future bike. BTW I have one in the modern

Hi Ron, I'm not in need of a decaleur right now, but that Mercian is so beautiful! (It's no secret that I'm partial to wooden fenders.) Takashi 2024年1月6日土曜日 13:17:52 UTC+9 Ron Mc: > Thanks again, Steve - this is my longest-term bike, and the baseline for > measurements any time I build a

Thanks again, Steve - this is my longest-term bike, and the baseline for measurements any time I build a bike. It's cozy beyond words. Great aero position on the moustache bar, and the wide reach gives you excellent control. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Ron, thanks for sharing. Just as I suspected, that is one beautiful Raleigh! I love the attitude the mustache bar with the Acorn rando bag lend the bike. Nicely done fender install - especially on a frame not designed with fenders in mind. I have to agree with you regarding Honjos. I

Ron, I'm just now catching up with your thread. Let me say if I may - you have put together some exceptional builds. I'm intrigued by the Raleigh - that is a Raleigh International? Judging from the placement of the brake pads and the presence of fenders I'm guessing you've built it as a 650b

Ron, I haven't seen an Ostrich bag like yours. Is this a F-106? Does the lid open away from you or toward you when riding? Thanks, John On Friday, January 5, 2024 at 9:12:01 AM UTC-8 Ron Mc wrote: > Here's the result with the new decaleur on my 15-l Ostrich front bag on > Viner gravel bike -

Ron, Thank you for posting this. I have always like the Berthoud decaleur; good to know they're available. Might be time time to lose the cords that attach to the drops on my hbars. Also, great looking handlebar/bag setup and a gorgeous Mercian! Happy New Year! Rich in ATL On Sunday,

In the GB catalog, ther is a table for the size of decailluer based on the bag used, length of stem and height from top of rack to centerline of the stem bolt and type of stem bolt orientation (vertical or horzantal). The table gives the proper length to use, e.g a H-91 or a H-121. I could
