Nice to see a Rambouillet take on modern kit. Bar end shifter 1x, spoked
wheels with rim brakes, 1" threaded steerer and a pump!

WTB Tires are off and away.
Soma Cazadero, Teravail cannonballs and a swanky IRD BB are still available.

Awesome Jason.
Thank you for sharing. The route sounds ideal to me. I want smooth trails,
not death trails.
Your Bombadil might be my favorite bike that isn't mine.
I wish there was a "Best of RBW" to put or tag this post, and other great
ones, so they could be found easily.

Hi, Philip.
Welcome.
I have a Joe A. in a 51 and an AHH in a 54.5 (barely fits me, but it does
fit). 83 pbh. I'm female, older, and slower rider than most.
I love them both. I feel "faster" and more spirited on my AHH, than on my

Joe, I can certainly appreciate spending too much time worrying about

Thanks so much Matt! I am glad this post was so well-received.
The handlebars are MAP / Ahearne, 610mm width, quite similar to the Wavie

I am firmly in the "yes, you should also install fenders!" camp. I think
they'd be a great aesthetic addition to your custom, but also, I value
fenders for more than just rain protection: the keep whatever you may run
over from being flung towards you, ie animal poop.

Joe,

My opinion: I appreciate in most cases what a bicycle looks like, but
being of the engineering mindset I typically go with 'if it is desperately
needed, then do it.' Thus, if you cycle in rainy weather then by all means
install mudguards. If your weather happens to be

Fenders always offer a more finished look. They can also be removed for
dirt stuff... although I must admit that I almost never remove mine.

Lots of great stuff on offer here, including thirst for great beer -

I absolutely would not run fenders if I didn’t live in a rainy climate.
Aesthetics is part of it - I like the more muscular look of an unfendered bike
(bikepacking rigs representing an extreme example). Fenders also limit tire
size, can interfere with brake straddle cables, and in muddy conditio
That is definitely not good. I don't ride in mud but I see your point! 😳

Brake clearance is a good point since you have V-brakes. Fenders are a
safety feature for canti's since if your cable snaps the straddle cable
can't drop onto the tire and catch on the knobs. But they do pose
potential risks as mentioned - stay into the spoke seems unlikely to me,
since they t
Indeed I forgot about the v-brake situation, which would be a challenge
with these big tires and the fenders they require. Question answered! I
have the bag now (thanks Leah!) and the rack on the way (thanks Jamison!)
so they're going on and then I'll ride a while and probably decide it's
fine
You might also consider the VO Zepplin 52mm:

These are my favourite fenders (700c version).

I don't find fenders especially appealing myself. Neither in looks or dead
