| | It is on this bike... sorry for the "fenders". It's not always that easy to remember what words are English and what words are American, remember I'm danish :) mudguards it is then :) Anyway it's a heavy frame, Reynolds 500 straight unbuttet tubing, 80's frame I guess.. Weird though, it seems that the individual who bought it in the first place didn't really use it.. the brakes didn't even wear the paint of the rims. |

| | Of course you are right about the saddle Dogs, but I think it looks good. The stem is actually a Nitto Pearl 90 not a 60s English stem. Bars again are my preference, didn't want risers or flats, well, not yet, but after riding a few months I might decide to change them. |

 | hey tom- its your bike mate, ride it as you like it! {edit} that sounded patronising, basically if you ride it, who can question your build? And never listen to dale. he just can't wait for his project and all these completed ones are killing him. I know how he feels. (or at least I will do by the time my project gets here- because everyone will have done theirs). |

| | if you post it, it's no longer your bike. it's kind of like 'death of the author' but with bikes. The essential meaning of a work depends on the impressions of the reader, rather than the “passions” or “tastes” of the writer; “a text’s unity lies not in its origins,” or its creator, “but in its destination,” or its audience.

The primary reason I'd run them over drops would be on a town bike where I'm not likely to use the drops much, but want to keep a 'hoods' position that has the advantage of letting me get better leverage on a brake. | |

| | I'm going the Grandad touring route. Just bought this. It's 27" wheeled.. also planning to get it a 700c cyclocross wheelset and hopefully have two bikes in one. OBTB FTW Also building up a slave lo-pro as primary fixed, and returning my Guerciotti conversion to its Campag SR geared glory. Going to be a fun, greasy, (expensive?) summer. |
