The Saluki is a tough bike. Don't worry about the load amounts. The first thing I would ask is: What does she want?
Building a bike up fro someone else is an interesting endeavor. That person may, or may not, be interested in the same type of build. Personally, I would just steer clear of CdlV tires. I have had nothing but bad luck and their irregular mounting drives me nuts. I ride with Hetres or fatty rumpkins on my Saluki. They both fit fine under Berthoud 65mm fenders. I have a cantilever brake Saluki so that might make a little bit of room available width wise. for the fenders. -Jason On Oct 3, 11:16 am, nathan spindel <nath...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yesterday at the RBW garage sale I picked up a 50cm 650B Saluki frame. > I'm going to build it up as a road bike / occasional light S24O > hauler.
