I think a low trail Ebisu with low rider front rack and a rando bag would be just about a perfect fancy randonneur and city bike. I like Hiroshi's taste in...
Hi, all. I am in China for two weeks starting today. So I won't be answering the phone regularly. But I'll read email when I have a chance. And there will be...
On Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 3:28 PM, Kogswell Cycles ... Once you've become sure of that which is unseen, you can start a new religion! -- "Sow a thought, reap an...
Low trail on an Ebisu randonneur would be 45mm? or 42mm? or 40mm? Does it matter much as long as it is in this range? Would we consider anything lower than...
... If bike geometry is not something you are an expert in, don't you think you would be better off just telling Hiroshi what kind of bike you want (e.g., a...
... I've never ordered an Ebisu, but in talking with riding friends who have, that's pretty much how the process goes. You tell Hiroshi the general idea and...
... Tire size includes a width value. By "set up as randonneur", assuming you mean 42mm tires and ~10lbs in a front bag...IMHO you need ~35mm of trail, which...
My new Ebisu A/P, which is designed to be a randonneur carrying load up front--at least that's what I told Hiroshi--has a trail of 45mm with Hetre tires...
My Ebisu All Purpose, which is designed to be a randonneurcarrying load up front--at least that's what I told Hiroshi--has a trail of 45mm with 39mm Hetre...
... Funny. My P/R also measures about 10mm over -- with "40mm trail fork" measures more like 50mm: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jimg/sets/72157605142658693/ ...
... Agreed. I also think diameter comes into play as well: for example, I've seen virtually no 700c bikes with 30mm trail, only those with 650B wheels go that...
So I finally got my Kog together. I must say, it's a glorious ride! I don't know if it's that it fits me really well or it just has really smart frame...
... Please don't take this wrong, but there is a switch on the E6 - a black plastic arm that normally is upright. You have to rotate it about 30 degrees to...
... Thanks for the response, Bill. I guess we SHOULD start with the obvious things first. I wish I had just forgotten to switch the light on. That would...
Decided to finally try it out. Mainly because my local shop gave me a deal "I could not refuse" on a Paul flatbed front rack. So far have ridden about 25...
So far just a standard commuting load. So probably less than 10 additional pounds.  Again, this is just two rides. Need to get more rides in and more...
Looks like the Kog will be getting some kompetition: http://velo-orange.blogspot.com/2009/04/sneak-peak.html ...A 650B TIG'd-steel city-bike frame/fork (and...
... Being built by Maxway too, you can see the other Maxway sample bikes in the background. The rear dropouts are awful looking, but otherwise it looks like a ...
