I didn't even notice it until you pointed that out. Good eye.
I guess since it flowed along the same line as the top tube, it just blended in and worked. Now you pointed it out, it still doesn't bug me. Weird.

Can't you just eyeball that sort of thing? I haven't had to do it before, so call me crazy...

always rides with luggage
Some people do this with a huge adjustsable wrench or just by jamming an allen key in there and bending it by eye, but this is a really terrible idea. If you "ovalize" the hanger bolt hole you're ****ed. It's a lot easier to have the shop do it for a few bucks or find a bike co-op.
Now all of my bikes are either SS or have replaceable hangers.

DVC45: That's a big seat post rack/bag thing you have. Doesn't it put lateral stress on the seat post or the seat tube? Nice bike, btw.

Sweet did it come together well? Maybe you had a thread about the bike and I missed it because I didn't post for a while. If there was a thread I would like to read it. I would be alot more jealous that I never got one of those Nashbar frames to build up if I hadn't got such a great deal on my Windsor Tourist.

Anyway, the only thing I was disappointed of, is the frame won't take 700x35 tires with fenders on. But, yes, the build was problem free. Everything fell in place. I was able to use most parts I have laying around to good use. The dynamo hub and Planet Bike Blaze headlight is nice thing to have and the disc brake in front is awesome for stopping. I'm really happy with this build.
I will eventually convert it to full disc brakes, but only if I find a great deal for one.

I've already been using her to go everywhere on my daily routine, including commuting to work. Originally built her to be my all around, all weather, on road/off road riding machine. She's turning out to be my "go anywhere, anytime" riding machine. Hardly use any of my motored vehicles to go around town anymore... I just love to ride my Gunnar wherever I go.

Hi,
This is my go to anywhere bike (missus banned from the bedroom, though :-)).
2011 Tricross Comp. Changed the pedals to XT trekking pedals and added fenders. Otherwise, stock.

You also have the option of throwing a rack & panniers on there if desired or needed (groceries, winter commuting depending on where you live, etc).
Cool ride!

Here is the latest configuration of my Salsa Fargo. Went on an 80 mile gravel road ride last Saturday with the setup pictured. I think I actually prefer this setup more than my full fenders and slicks.

I didn't, although I do have the full matching set of Back Roller and Front Roller Classics. With any luck the bike will get to see the Oregon Coast in it's entirety in the Fall of 2013. But it is my everything bike. I bought it because it will do it all, I am slow and heavy so no racing aspirations which is about the only thing this bike doesn't do well.
