There used to be a video on the VP website, but it's not there anymore.
There is only a video for the Harrier rebuild.
https://www.vpcomponents.com/vp-harrier-dh5-rebuild-instructions/
I didn't watch it, and you probably already found it, but if not, maybe
that's helpful.
I successfully ran 43mm GravelKing SK+, but only very briefly. Personally
I like the bike best with 38mm Rene Herse or good ol' 33mm Jack Browns.
Mine's a 2011 Waterford.

So if you compare the Alex 650b DM24 (695g) rim to an Atlas (590g), you
would save 3.7 ounces per wheel. Would that really make any difference to
the riding someone does on a Clem?
Maybe for the WW that would be a big improvement?

FWIW - The seat post clamp is reversed on the baby bikes.
The seat tube angle on the baby bike is 68 degrees though, so I thought it
had something to do with taking the metal out of the seat tube on the side
that doesn't have all that pressure on it.

Many thanks to everyone for all your invaluable feedback, this has been a
very encouraging response for me to keep going with this project.
Regarding material:
The main reason to use a wool blend vs. 100% wool has been that the wool
blends are lighter weight to deal with the warm weather here.
It's here!
I agree Dave. It's like having the Rivendell Reader back! I was amazed at how
much easier it seemed to be to compare components (handlebar - to - handlebar,
stem - to - stem, for instance). This is a keeper!

A set of Suntour Superbe road quill pedals, some wear to the cages (anodizing,
etc.). Bearings seem good, but could probably use fresh grease. $45.00. See
additional text / info in the Flickr set:

A set of well
wball offers. Lowballing may not be an
issue in a friendly forum like this, but you might be surprised by how many
uninvited: "Way overpiced! I'll give you $250 for it." messages you can
receive for the very fairly priced $1k item you posted.

I'm also flying down bikeless, which is OK by me since the Jersey cold/snow

We sometimes manage a Classic Rendezvous breakfast during NAHBS, usually
Sat morning, maybe we could do something similar for Riv/iBOB folk?
On Monday,
Great shots! Definitely lots to see at NAHBS, and each show/location
changes the flavors. I finally managed to decompress my brain and put
together some NAHBS 2014 sets yesterday,
The collection should be accessible at the link below. Still have to
edit/add a Peeps/Candid set, maybe tomorrow?
Sorry, forgot my sign-off

Congratulations on winning the contest and on ending up with a spectacular

I suspect you'll find other MUSA options at similar small, bike-related,
fabric-product companies.
