One small correction: As you might have noticed, the bike has Nitto Moustache bars, not Albatross. I guess I was too mesmerized by the second toptube to jot down the information correctly. Bryan On Sep 29, 8:11 pm, "Bryan @ Renaissance Bicycles" wrote: > As we alluded to previously, the double

@Mike, Actually, those are an early edition VO fenders. They are kinda flat across the top and had a wide profile; I hand polished them to a bright shine. Bryan On Sep 30, 10:36 am, Seth Vidal wrote: > On Thu, Sep 30, 2010 at 10:32 AM, Johnny Alien > wrote: > >> We used Neubaum cloth tape, w

Wow, that looks great. It appears you used the longer SKS fenders with Berthoud stays? I have a pair in my basement and just need to decide what bike I want to put them on. I'm surprised they're not more widely available. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Goog
