Ted, have you looked at the fenders made by Berthoud? I recently called up
Peter White and ordered a set for my new Atlantis project. They're
stainless, and smooth, but more affordable than some of the other offerings
you mentioned above. The best thing however, I only had to drill one hole
to
stock, and shipped them to me within a
couple of days.
I have dealt directly with Berthoud several times, and they are also
amazing to work with. Kinda like Blue Lug, the shipping is more expensive
of course, but the shipping times are incredibly - almost impossibly - fast.

I’m running the Ehline 27.5 x 2.5 on my Gus currently. I had them on a previous bike that was a dedicated trail bike, and I liked them for that purpose a lot, so I knew what to expect. So far, I’m riding my Gus 50/50 dirt/pavement and I’ve actually been pleasantly surprised at how well they roll on
I am also running Motolites on my Gus (54cm) and have a full 1cm of clearance from the brake cable on the front, and 7mm on the rear. 27.5x2.5 Ehlines. With that tight of a tolerance, I’d probably need to consult with someone who has real experience with a particular tire / same brake setup before
All of these bikes are gorgeous. How is the clearance with the 42's? The
legolas is a dream bike for me but have always been curious how wide you
can go if you push it a little.

enough. Certainly good enough for friction shifting. How good this works
does depend on how deep the tooling is on your derailleur mounting bolt.

Maybe this is the wrong question to ask, but is it too tall an order to expect a kickstand plate that doesn’t shear off under normal circumstances? I mean, I figure if anyone is going to design a proper kickstand plate to fit a variety of stands and applications for use, it would be Rivendell, no?O

O. Interesting. I was unaware of this. I recently ordered a Paul
shimano thumb mount assuming I could put a silver on it only to find out i
cannot. If Carlos finds their fill and someone's got another I would be
interested.

It was my birthday yesterday, so my wife and I took the day off and did
some riding along the Little Miami Trail in SW Ohio. The Fall colors are
definitely getting harder to find here.

I wanted to post a bit about an experience I've had lately to see if anyone
