I agree with Reed on this, can't say I wouldn't own a Hunq if it was called
a Jim Clement, but I wouldn't feel so badass saying I own a Jim Clement as
I would a Hunqapillar (which maybe others can't stand that name either?).
The name shouldn't matter by any means, but it does for a lot of people
I have started the construction process on my Cheviot. Frame is a 55, so 650B

hub and Schmidt front dyno hub laced to Synergy rims. Compass

Nitto Saddlebag Grip - $65 shipped CONUS
Your standard saddlebag grip as seen on Rivs website. It shows a little
wear but includes all hardware. I added a leather handle that made it
easier to use when off the bike. You can take this off if you want, I just

An name like Appaloosa conjures up pleasant thoughts. I notice no says, "

Wait, I think it was a manhole cover head tube badge on the Clem Smith and the

Anyway, the use of the name Frank Jones right after that just led my mind in
the wrong direction.

All,
Sincere apologies for this question, as I think I must have missed it in
previous threads...

I'll go with the latter for now. Reach out if I'm still too high and let's

I'm wondering about this, at the bottom of the BLUG post:

So, are the seat stay caps separate from the rest of the lug, then brazed
into the sockets on the back of the seat lug? If so, that could be a good
way to build bikes of differing geometries with a single seat lug
Cable clamped too short? This happened on my wife's Raleigh bike.
