Thanks Jim. Those are 32 Pasela Tourguards, under VeloOrange 45mm anodized fenders, under Tektro long-reach calipers, and there is no room to spare. I couldn't run a twig under there if need be, only water... a small, tiny gravel would be tight, and possibly problematic. I initially tried to use

Some answers, in no particular order... The tires are definitely Grand Bois. 28mm. I have enjoyed them so far, but haven't ridden this bike with anything else yet, so can't exclaim Grand Bois superiority. The fender line ended up being pretty tight. I was going to make the same comment on yours,

Those tires look like they are Grand Bois Cerfs. If they are then they are a very full 28mm. On Sep 27, 9:34 pm, Art Lewy wrote: > I'll second the question on tire size.  Also, how is the fender > attached to thet top of the fork? > > On Sep 26, 9:04 pm, BykMor wrote: > > > > > My green Rambouil

I'll second the question on tire size. Also, how is the fender attached to thet top of the fork? On Sep 26, 9:04 pm, BykMor wrote: > My green Rambouillet is finally (almost) complete and it was a nice > day out so I took a few pictures. > > Hopefully the link to my Picasa site will suffice. > >

Leslie, Perfect bike. It looks you are getting the most out of the fender and tire room. What size tires are those? -Jim W. On Sep 27, 2010, at 7:55 AM, Leslie wrote: > I hadn't noticed that the lugs had changed; mine has the pointy-lugs > like the Hilsen instead of the swoopy Atlantis-like o

I love the Cycles Gladiator cork spacer on the rack! The whole bike is dialed beautifully. That was the first time I'd seen that light mount in action - does it hold steady? Philip Williamson www.biketinker.com On Sep 26, 9:04 pm, BykMor wrote: > My green Rambouillet is finally (almost) comple

Thanks for the comments, all. I like seeing the other builds. Nice, Leslie, I need to get me a Yehuda Moon pin. Not sure of the exact timing of this frame. Possibly towards the end of the 2006-2008 range. We also haven't figured out what, exactly, is up with that Sugino crankset. It's giving me a

I hadn't noticed that the lugs had changed; mine has the pointy-lugs like the Hilsen instead of the swoopy Atlantis-like ones. (I had noticed the mid-stay mounts, etc., but haven't used them yet... ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/leslie_bright/4407972696/in/set-72157623199721925/#/photos/leslie_br

Very nice build, but I may be prejudice since my blue Ram is quite similar - Honjos, Paul's, Marks mini, DT shifters. I went with White hubs & Dinotte lighting. What is the crank set? michael On Sep 27, 12:04 am, BykMor wrote: > My green Rambouillet is finally (almost) complete and it was a ni

There was a very special Hilsen-like run of Rams at the end. They had the lugs just like the Hilsen and the fork crown too. (It seems that Atlantises have these features now too.) More importantly, that last set of Rams also had mounts on the fork and seatstays for mini-racks. Pretty sweet bike

Very nice. I noticed that the lugs on your bike and mine (also a green rambo) are different...at least the fork crown and headtube lugs. Also a couple different paint accents...mine doesn't have the tops of the front wheel dropouts painted cream and the "wings" on the fork crown aren't painted on
