All the skill and luck to you Sammyboy.

I have a Mini. If there are any comments or pictures that you wish to use in the Mini thread, feel free.

Thoughts on products for the Mini ...

(1) a multi-tool with a wrench for the hub's axle nuts

(2) a longer seat post ... or a telescoping seatpost

(3) a Carradice-like saddlebag for non-Brooks saddles

(4) a cover that lets one still roll the Mini

(5) adjustable quill-like stems that rotate 180 degrees that allow a longer reach yet maintain the compact fold. Zoom -- did I get the brand correct? -- used to make such stems just a few years ago. Finding one with a long stem has been difficult.

Some things to stock ...

(1) Big Apple tires ... maybe Marathon Racers and Stelvio too

(2) 28 spoke SA-8 hub ... impossible to find

(3) dyno front hub ... I would offer wheel builds with the aforementioned hub
