Always trying to figure out how to use that bike more, since I basically built it up during the winter before the pandemic as a commuter...and have worked from home for the last 21 months.
Mini-Motos won't work beyond 44mm of width which is why my DD has Paul Motolites .. it rides on 42/44 tires under 55mm fenders. If I had to do either all over again I wouldn't change a thing
