Kiley: Those fenders. Rivendellish if not Rivendellian.

[Patrick Moore]

Chauncey did it right: 60 mm actual with 160 +/< Q and fenders with 1 cm of air. Aftermarket PB 130 mm flap.

Aside: Bar on 10 cm stem level with saddle gives much the same positions as bar 3-4 cm below on 8 cm stem (my Rivs). Comfortable.

Rivendellish if not Rivendellian.

Thanks. I fretted about the details and Chauncey got most of them, but he could have raided the seatstay bridge by 5 mm, and he forgot the mid-fork fender strut bosses (there were literally 10 other fork leg braze ons between the usual dropout bosses, the lowrider bosses, and the right fork leg wire guides of a "quick on/off" type. And I wish I'd asked him to dimple the chain stays, but a 158 and perhaps even 156 mm Q is possible with the right crankset (currently 160 because of the 130 mm bb, but I could have ordered a 127 and perhaps a 126).

He included custom front low riders and a rear fender with internal rear light wiring and a fender support so that I don't have to use fender struts, but I prefer the on/off Carradice SQR and either a Junior or larger but "flatter" Super C Slim saddlebag.

This sounds and looks like a real quest. But we all fall short of the mark, right?

I may console myself by replacing Kiley's SKS fenders with hand beaten titanium customs from Kelpie, to leave on year 'round instead of (with the SKS's) only during summer monsoon and winter snow. If I'm reasonable, I won't, but if I do, I'll post another photo.
