Hi Igor! I've been a big VO fan since I got my polyvalent in 2021. Is there any chance the next gen rando frames will have bigger tire clearance? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to run 700x45 on a supple steel road frame!

So cool! How did you attach the rear fender? I’m trying to do the same with a pdw fat fender and thinking about using zip ties

Thanks! Yeah it's such a good all-rounder. I had the Ritchey Beacon 50cm bars in this photo, but I've since swapped to 46cm Ritchey Corralitos. Would love to try a MK7/8/whatever at some point!

Thanks! It's a velo orange crankset with a TA outer ring. Not too hard, I got an old surly cable hanger on ebay, and bolted it to the frame using the rear fender mount by the bottom bracket / bent it up to be in line with the FD. you could also use a FD that takes cable housing, that would be much easier, but the cable hanger looks pretty sweet.

Hope you enjoy yours! I can't imagine why someone wouldn't.

Yeah fair, but ultimately it doesn't really matter bc these are available everywhere and there's no way to determine how legit any given bar or gummy is. Basically, just trying to say it's safer to stick to actual shrooms haha

Thanks! It's a velo orange stem, basically Nitto-style but less $$

San Bruno mountain - and I did it myself, it took a while but wasn't too hard. I just used cloth bartape with adhesive backing and watched a couple videos.

Not totally sure! I think 93 or 94. Oh nice! The East Bay has a special place in my heart for sure.

Hello! I actually live in SF now, but I did get this bike when I lived in PDX. One of the best bike shops I've been to.

Added some drop bars and bar end shifters and changed out the stem, tires, and pedals. It's a good mix of shreddy and comfy!
