That is so cool, congrats. I have been trying to find a wife bike
like that for years. The 650b conversion of her Miyata brought us
closer, but outside of the tandem the solution will likely be a
custom. I looked long and hard at that Atlantis, but the timing is
not right, and I think it was a b
This could be done!!
There are more backroad loops up there than any other place I know.
This could skirt the Great western Bicycle Rally if any of our
contingent were thinking of making it a longer trip. There is so much
possible with this. Camping abounds in the region.

In case you don't really like V-brakes (I don't), you can get a fork-
crown mounted cable hanger for cantis from Tektro, which will solve
the bar adjustment issue. Very slick and eliminates brake squeal, too.
But not compatible with a Nitto Mini Front. :(

My Oursons have 1,300 mi (on a Saluki) on them and show very little wear, if
any. At 65 PSI, they are a reasonably fast road tire that still has a forgiving

V brakes had their place in the evolution of braking IMO. For big

V-brakes are just easier not to screw up during setup (fewer

The MB-Zip is a small. 54 TT, 42 ST (17") According to the
catalogue, this would be listed as a 42.

Basically every "improvement" in bicycle components & design over the last
two decades has been to make build ups faster. They may or may not improve
things on the bike, usually neutral at best. Consider the following:

The grip cover is part of an elkhide "city grip" from VO. Didn't need the whole
length of one grip. I kept thinking it would come off. But after about a couple
years of daily beausage it has not. That waxed thread is tough stuff.
