A couple of interesting details:
It has white wall schwalbes. I didn't know that anyone still made true whitewalls. Robert used to have them, but it came to be that the only ones I could find were actually a dirty beige- halfway between white and gum walled
It also has a Velo Orange leather saddle which I've never seen in person. They're a cheaper version of a Brooks and they look like a nice option.
I love bicycle license stickers
and the gold leaf of the tube banding.

I see more and more of those Basil panniers around Cambridge. They look very roomy and stable, and I love cherry blossoms. The VO saddle is unusual - I wonder whether the person bought it online or from Open (the only local shop I know carries them). Oh yeah, and nice Raleigh Sports!
ReplyDeleteNice bike, the Schwalbe white tire walls are very effective.
ReplyDeleteI love the graphics of the Basil panniers, but I often have valuables in my panniers and want to take them with me, and the saddlebags style doesn't seem like it would lend itself to that.
ReplyDeleteI know that Harris is also carrying some of the VO stuff and can order the stuff that they don't carry.
