My G1 P/R is set up not so much as a porteur but as a long-range commuter, with racks front and back, a rack trunk in front, a basket in back, home-brewed LED...
... I assume you are talking about the P/R and not one of the older frames. Around 40mm. The fork crown has clearance for a 52mm fender. 6mm clearance from...
... It's fashion, just like the $5000 27 pound steel bike with pretty carved lugs and matching bags. If you don't like it you don't have to ride it. That's the...
... What is the ideal clearance from the inside top of wheel to fender. I had to move my fender down with a spacer and now have a whishing sound; I think it's...
... I think around 5-7mm is ideal. More works and just looks odd, less seems tight. That puts my preference of fender width at 15mm greater than tire width....
... I think that in almost all quantitative testing, and theoretical models, the 2 biggest factors in how much power you need to get to a specific speed are...
... Never good to assume that just because you passed a rider you're stronger. That person could be on the final miles of 100+ mile ride, could just be ...
... stronger... Well... that's kinda been my point. If you've got the juice, you can ride a single speed with the titanium crowd. Couple weeks back there was a...
I've done most of my long rides on Kogswell G and a G1 P/R set up for randonneuring. I didn't think anything was wrong with them, I just thought I was getting...
... BUT. The OP asked about building up a P/R as a RANDONNEURing bicycle, not a "club bike" -- those are two very different things IMHO. A randonneuse should...
... Yep. Demand is huge. Check out Acorn Bags - they take orders for the month only on the first day of every month, and sell out in under an hour. If everyone...
Hi, Can anyone recommend a place in or near San Francisco where I can have my new P/R frame checked for alignment? Initial build suggests that the rear...
I would suggest two bikes for the two purposes. Well, that's the logic of how I justify a bedroom-full-of-bicycles to my lovely wife. When I put together a...
I guess this leads to the next question..any ETA on the racks and any associated forks or Konversion Forks? meade, looking to get racked and forked in virginia...
I've meant for some time to post some pictures of Scott's P/R. Scott helped around the shop last year and built this P/R to take on a four month tour of New...
Very Very Very, nice build Anthony. You got Phil hubs so you can ride that bike to the moon and back. K. ________________________________ From: Longleaf...
