Too bad it's so hot now, I barely want to ride in the daytime. :(

On My Surly I have the Deore rear derailer and it has performed
flawlessly. I can not offer a single complaint about it. So when I
ordered my AHH I got the same derailer. I notice that most people get
the XT but they are almost a hundred bucks more and I am not convinced
that it can be a hundred do
Great looking set up.I entertained the idea of mustache bars too.
I may have to use my Carradice Nelson and finish building my spartan
rack for it. Love my Simple One.just wish I had more time to ride
although I may just make the 25 mile commute tomorrow.

You could try the Montclair Bikery. They've been around for many
years, in fact, I worked in the shop in 1973-74. I'm pretty sure they
know what they're doing, fit-wise, though they may have a racer bias.

Sorry, 59 is small/ish for me with a 91.5 pbh. Plus I do plan to keep it.

JimD, Any chance you might be willing to trade your raftered 61 cm Blériot
for my 59 cm Blériot? I often think that mine is just a little too small
for me. What a deal, too, as ,ine's worth $910 compared to the $750 you
paid for yours! ;^)
Serious about that, contact me off-list.

It's an old WT (wilderness trails) bar that I acquired a few years ago. It's
been sitting in my shop waiting for the perfect use. I've got it hemped and

This is an interesting thread.
One aspect not yet discussed concerns the economics of being an early

frame was about $900. I rode it hard and was able to sell it later
for about what I paid, not so much because the frame had app
