I totally agree. Those fenders detract from a remarkably attractive
bike. I love the shade of blue. I have had to exercise extreme
discipline in not bidding on this, which just happens to be my size.

I know the Rivendell gang thinks fenders are a sometimes necessary add-
on, but man if there was ever a bike screaming out to have its SKS's
removed and have some metal fenders installed it would be this one.
Put some Berthouds or Honjo's on this Rivendell and you'd have a near
perfect beauty.

I too had no trouble installing that rack on my older Atlantis that
lacked the mid-rack braze-ons.

Yes, it is too bad if it can't be made to work--this is part of the
difficulty in trying to design a frame to work with any number of rack
arrangements I think. The only solution would be to design the fork for use
exclusively with one kind of rack (which, if I might guess, would be one of

Yes, that is correct. P-clamps would solve the problem, but the idea was to
use the braze-ons --- I thought! I would rather use the braze-ons, but I might
have to resort to the less appealing clamps.

Hello Mojo,
I'd love the book, if it happened to come my way. Actually, I'd love
to give it to my wife for Christmas. She really is into travelogue
books and anyway I can work bikes into her life, it only improves my
life too. Thanks for your consideration.

3 holes at the bottom -- the lower most is threaded, so I figure
that's what the fenders screw into. Can't get the thing to fit --
bumps my brakes. Anybody have one of these on a 700C Atlantis? Got a
photo of a good installation? Thanks all. A bit frustrated here.

Sealed bearings are usually a cartridge bearing, while regular
bearings are loose balls or balls in a retainer ring. A sealed unit is
probably better for wet weather, but the unsealed ones are fine and
usually a better bargain. JIS and ISO are identical except for the
crown race diameter.
JIS 27.0
I have the Tange Levin on an 80's steel bike and it works well, looks very
nice. JIS and ISO are two standardizing systems. You can Google them for more
details.

I use a 42t ring with a 6 speed 13-28 IRD freewheel. It's great for
around town. It originally
had a 1st generation 7 speed IRD freewheel, but that failed and I got
the new one free

Is the Sugino a triple? If so, and if it is properly set up already so that
the middle ring is centered on the middle of the cassette, then you can
simply remove the other two rings and bolt a pants guard on in place of the
outer ring.
If the Sugino is a double, you might want to move the inner ri
