a tape, although levi's help perpetuate my fantasy of a 36 fitting

I have a set of Roughy Toughy tires with less than 300 miles on them,

or GB or Challenge tires.
Jim,
That is very close to my layout for a bike I am planning. I was
thinking of putting a set of clamp on DT shifters on the ST. One coud
be routed to the hub, if needed, routed around a pullty on the upper
rack boss. The second shifter could be for a BB dyno. The theory was

I am suprised no one has said anything about the fork on this bike

rather abrupt even for waterford. The last auction had a wonderful

Get the fender nuts, and squeeze those fenders up as high as you can,
a 45mm fender should fit width wise but your height will be the
squeeze as you decide on what tires you are going to run. I went with
Planet bike fenders. For the price they are decent, not honjo, but
better by far than nothing.
