thanks Patrick. Even with all the weight, my old college Raleigh is trick for me. Wide 6 rear and half-steps plus escape on a Cylotouriste crank. Gears are 26" to 97" in about 5-inch steps. I think it's cozy for me because of my long limbs and short torso, but it fits me like a pair of Ital

I think it would be cool if SKS offered modern fenders in all the colors that Bluemels (sp?) used to offer. That would be super fun. On Thursday, November 14, 2013 8:31:49 AM UTC-8, Anton Tutter wrote: > > Has anyone seen this? > > > http://v-ccnewengland.blogspot.com/2011/03/sks-longboard-fen

Think of all the angst and implied insult you could have avoided simply by describing your hack as a way to emulate or recreate the look of the old Bluemels fender while using cheap and readily available modern fenders. I think in future it would be nice to reserve the term "re-enactors" for p
