Why not consider a Roadeo?
They can do everything a Saluki can now that you can get braze ons
wherever you want them, plus they will be a snappier ride/lighter tubeset.
I guess only restriction is tire size the Saluki probably has the
Roadeo beat. But other than that the Roadeo should be the more
exhilerating ride, in theory.
Only "probably"? Per https://www.rivbike.com/products/roadeo "FOR
SURE: The Jack Brown, which is NOMINALLY 33.333mm wide on most rims--but
that's irrelevant, remember?--measures about 700mm on a 24mm rim. It's
the fattest unfendered tire we can categorically commit to fitting the
ROADEO fork. /If you want fenders also, best limit the tire to 682mm
height...which will be about a 28./" I ran 650Bx42mm Grand Bois Hetres
with fenders on my Saluki. That is a huge difference, lum gim.
Bigger than huge. Monstro Gigantor. Let's compare a Range Rover with
an Aston Martin, why don't we. I can see plenty of reasons why you
might want to have both, but I can't see any reason to think the two
would really be interchangeable.
