Tires are stock 1.5s the fenders are SKS. Looks like enough room to go bidder without a problem. I didn’t try very hard to work the fender line and and the bridges there’s a lot of height

Got this thing finished last night. All I need is a lego for the wiring and it’ll be 100% done.

1975-or-6 Raleigh Competition, rattlecan paint + mystery decals (this was an ebay score.)

Put most of the parts from the grando onto this, except for the new shakes, tubeless wheelset, and rear rack. 10 speed, and the shakes work beautifully with the mafac racer brakes. It’s going to serve as my main commuter for the rest of the summer.

As in it’s obviously been through some stuff but, beyond all rational explanation, it’s still alive?

I proceeded to crack both of those tubular rims later that night. Tires are still good, coz tubular.

Descending a pothole-ridden, shit road at 30-35mph at 375w in the dark. The crack/divot I hit spanned across the entire road, so there was no avoiding it. I felt _something_ happen, and once I hit smooth road, I ran a finger along the sidewall, while I was still riding, and…yup.

Oh, I hopped a lot of stuff, but apparently not all the stuff. Sucks, but the wheels are 5 years old and have seen their share of abuse.

I’m thinking of just getting some lightbicycle rims to replace them. I looooove tubulars for racing, but I’m really thiinking of going clinchers. Tires are getting so close to the ride of tubies. Also, changing a tubular is always a pain when you _have_ to do it.
