Biltema is a Norwegian (maybe Scandinavian) auto parts store. Looks like basic plastic mudguards that you can get at most cycle stores here in Norway, and looks like two rear fenders, one slightly trimmed, just like I have on my Pinarello (and now on my VSF). Flaps are nice though, need to make some for myself.

I have those, would not recommend (even though they throw quite a bit of light): the plastic smells of lethal solvents (no kidding, I had to throw away the rubber inserts), the light changes to "low" mode when you ride on bumpy gravel.

Love this! *ponders kojaks for own build

My German transporter is getting there. Still some bits missing, but it's rideable. Proper pics later in the week.

What bike do you have the Confrerie des 650b on? Pics? I love those tires on my road bike. A tad less comfortable than the Pari Motos I had on previously, but much grippier.

Big box of FBNPNA being brought home for a touring/allroad/winter/whatever build. Expect VSF Fahrradmanufaktur, Alfine, tubus, and a Cobblr Gobblr.

Anyone have a carved C15 to sell?

Hi all,

I have a nice looking metal chainguard on a frame, with the brand "sl germany" stamped/engraved on it. I know I have seen this brand somewhere, but I can't find it just seraching for the name. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Have a bump!

Wow!

Anyone tried the Brooks C17 with cutout? I thoroughly hated the regular C17, but love my Team Pro with cutout.

Love this!

Awesome bikes you guys made. I know you've moved, but does Gundersen or you still make/plan on making frames?

Wow!

Nice!

Don't know if this is any help given that you might need a new frame, but one saddle-possibility that you should consider is getting a Brooks Team Pro with custom extra large cut-out. I can't find the link to where I bough mine (great guy in Holland), but PM if you're interested, and I'll dig it up.

One surprisingly effective solution to the full-mudguards-on-eyeletless-fork problem is the VO QR mudguard stays:

I have them on my Pina (front and back), and they completely eliminate rattling (of which there was lots when I simply zip-tied the guards to the frame)

I've ordered from freshtripe several times, always had good comms, timely deliveries. Don't know if I've been particularly luck or you unlucky, but they are certainly not all bad.

Lovely, well done!

Long shot, but I found a very nice dark grey Spesh AWOL abandoned in Bergen, Norway. Signs of being stolen, Police asked me to take care of it until furhter notice, so it's safe in my cellar. I don't have a FB account, so if anybody wants to spread this around, go ahead.

For anyone running 650b on their roadbike/tourer: My Panaracer Pari Moto front tire had a bad sidewall rip the other day, no sharp objects in sight. Shot Panaracer an email, and they are sending me a new tire free of charge despite saying that it is probably not a manufacturing issue (my guess is imperfect bead seating or brake rub). Meanwhile, I ordered a pair of Hutcheson Confrerie de 650b - they are much skinnier (32 vs 38), and quite a bit harsher than the Pari Motos, but their cornering grip is miles better - and at about 20 a pop, they are a steal.

Discount code has been collected.

Anyone want a 25% discount? First to PM gets it, but I won't be online to reply until tomorrow, probs. Must be used online by the 16th of May.
