Man, it's rainy out. I thought I saw a break in the rain, so I went for a quick spin + breakfast. While eating, it started pissing down rain on me again. Luckily, I was wearing tons of wool. However, I had to stop off at a shop and pick up a clip-on rear fender to defeat the dreaded ass-stripe.

Here's a picture of the atrocity I have wrought (thanks and apologies to gravityhurts) :

that fender is total BA, just sayin

haha sweet,
I was just trying to recall who bought up that holland frame.

No kashimax top tube protector?

Jim-Bob and Deep-Vs!?

Stop this crazy planet of the apes, I want to get off!

As much as I love the kashimax, I...

wait.

No. No kashimax top tube protector.

I don't want to put the cart before the horse.. but if people are having issues with photo hosting, I should have a nice tidy solution for you all in a week's time. Stay tuned because I'll need a few volunteers to put the site through its paces.

Here you go:

I think that fender belongs to the Batman motorcycle. "Quick! To the Bat Cave!"

happy friday everyone.

just finished Blanca last nite. installing the BB & cranks myself was a great feeling. everything else went very smoothly. big thanks to everyone on the list who offered assistance and aesthetic advice during this build.

she is so so fun. more pics on flickr

I get to be the first person to say WOW. Japanese blood, English heart. Looks as good as expected.

Edit: How's the drop stem feeling?

congrats! she turned out great!

awesome. not a dramatic change in feeling with my hands on top.. but in the drops it feels super low and super fast. the handling is very responsive.

brave boy

Ahhh Carltons....so nice. Good job.

OOPS !

its 52x15

lol

why dont you have mud flaps or whatevertheycallem on that thing?

i've got fenders on this bike for the wet stuff. or whatever it's called.

You really like carltons, don't you?

i like mine.. they were both lucky finds (one from Working Bikes in chi,
one off ebay). didn't know much about them before... but i've heard
some great history from old-timers and other folks.

i'm not trying to be a collector, like this guy.

Not so clear pics of my Kogswell Model G. When Im not riding my bike Im playing my bagpipes, hence the Boise Highlanders sticker on the head tube.

Thank you, sashae. Cantis and cross tires are going on fairly soon, when I get around to picking up some straddle cables.

I should probably trim that housing, too..
