I happen to have a GR300 with Steilacooms (700x38c knobby - but I suspect you know that!) on it and some old SKS fenders sitting in the garage that measure out to 55mm. I jabbed a fender into the...

Every time I see this bike for sale on CL and FB I have to remind myself that I'm WAY too old for it.

Unless I'm mistaking it for another just like it... ...either way, I love it.

Bolt-on top tube bag w/o steerer strap

PF30 bottom bracket. I really want to be able to say yes to a Niner but a threaded bottom bracket is non-negotiable for me. The price seems high for that level of build, too.
