Yet another set of old school Cannondale Panniers.
However, these are the smaller ones that are able to fit on front racks.

Starting to get super excited to ride that one.
The only thing that will stop the other build will be the bike fund.
I will have to build a set of wheels and that can get spendy.
I'll likely overbuild the set for this bicycle.

This thing:
Not C&V, as this is one of the very first batch produced (Kickstarter Project - Spurcycle) - but I feel that the clean lines and quality all-metal construction could find it at home on a nice classic build, albeit not a period-correct embellishment as might be a more classic French or Japanese bell. On my Proctor, next to the modern CNC stem, I'm hardly sweating not-period-correct.
Pricey, but very bright tone, very nice look, USA made, seems all around a solid and usable item.

Our roads in the Twin Cities have degenerated into Jeep paths that should only be occasioned by truly hearty vehicles.
I will sincerely go all out on this one to make it the best all road bicycle I can afford.
It may take me a bit, but I'll end up with a fairly quick and agile performer.
Should be fun.

The frameset is very handsome online as well. I love the angles, fenders and disc mounts. And the color. How fat is the tire clearance? Enjoy.

Funny actually just as I clicked onto this thread to see what people got in, I heard the postman at the door and received some ball bearings I ordered. still waiting on a set of wheels and a chain. Tomorrow hopefully fingers crossed.
