(Re: Last photo) Mind Kitty doesn't start on the tires next!   :D

Any particular accessories in mind for this lovely red machine?  May I suggest a really light rear rack, something like the Tubus Fly?  It'd be just the ticket for carrying the odd smallish load without adding much weight to a go-fast bicycle like this.

Best,

Dan.

Strangely enough I have a tubus fly on order which should be arriving by the end of the month.

I am planning on choosing some lighter pannier bags which I can carry on the back with bits and bobs in and can move between this and the Nomad. Also be able to move them onto lowriders on the Nomad when I nead to carry more on the back.

Any suggestions?

I use the Ortlieb front-roller-classic-panniers on the back pannier: 25L versus 40L for the normal rear ones and perfect for two or three days of light touring- You can then switch them to the front if need be:

I was considering them. Anyone know how the red go with the red thorn? Other consideration is the super c. Which front rack do you use with these bags?
