Latest version of the bike, a Raleigh Police F500:









Went from a rack with single Wald folding basket to a dual Wald basket to a Viva saddlebag support and Zimbale 11L saddle bag.

Swapped the sprung Brooks for an unsprung Velo Orange touring saddle.

Had trekking bars, spent a lot of time on the sides but had to constantly move back and forth to get at the brakes and shifter. So I grabbed the drop bars from my Schwinn Le Tour to do drop bars on the cheap. Waiting for Niagra to ship out my brake levers. Need to comb through the box at the co-op for a bar end shifter.

Took off the triple and had the LBS install a single speed crankset I bought of CL. Really loving the 1x8 set up. Also installed a set of MKS GR-9 pedals and VO half clips. Liking it and found it pretty natural to get in and out of the clips. May eventually put these on the utility bike build and go for full toe clips and straps or clipless.

Suspended fork was swapped for a rigid Surly fork. Taking off the suspension parts really made the ride better.

Front tire is 26 x 1.5 and the back is 26 x 1.75 (?-pretty sure)

Need some fenders. Picked up a set at Performance but I need longer V-brake arms. The disc tab on the fork was also causing some issues. Fenders went on the utility bike. Looking for suggestions on the brake clearance and some solid fenders.

I'm also going to eventually add a front rack with platform and pannier rails. Something to give me a bit more capacity than just the saddle bag and a place to carry my chain lock when I need it. Liking the Jannd Extreme. Also want to figure out a way to mount my new Niterider light. Have a 0 rise stem I could add and have a small hacked off section of bar to clamp the light on.
