Can you guys or do you know of somebody that can make a decent LED retro-light?<br /><br />I'm building a French-style randonneur and a vintage Italian tourer and there simply are no good, lightweight, battery, vintage-looking LED lights out there.<br /><br />I found 1 crappy Chinese bullit light on eBay and that had to be converted to LED. I Imagine whoever makes a good vintage-style LED for a decent price will clean up.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16458674672616653091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-15674689700283250082010-11-08T21:34:22.295-05:002010-11-08T21:34:22.295-05:00Yukaho, I went through the same process with my 57...Yukaho, I went through the same process with my 57cm polyvalent and the 58mm stainless fenders. Easy fit through the seatstay bridge, tight through the fork and tighter at the chainstays. I was initially worried about the fit but after talking to Alec (I believe) at VO, I decided to make the 58mm fenders fit. All I needed to do was squeeze the front fender at the fork crown, I just did it with my hands. At the chainstays, it needed a bit more pinching, but again I was able to do it by hand and let the bolt perhaps finish a bit of the work. Now that they are fitted, I am happy that I have the 58mm fenders rather than the 52s because I want to run Hetres. If I was always running a smaller tire like Pari-Motos or Col de la Vies or Soma B-Sides I would probably stick with the 52s.

I am a bit puzzled because they are just too wide. The front one simply won't fit in the space of the fork. The rear one could go between the seat stays but is too wide to get close enough to the chain stay bridge. <br /><br />What is the maximum fender width for the polyvalent frame?yukahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846412290372056760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-92132582944157065982010-02-01T22:00:39.861-05:002010-02-01T22:00:39.861-05:00I put a set of these stainless fenders on my bike ...I put a set of these stainless fenders on my bike last week and I couldn't be more pleased with them. They're easy to install, work great, and don't rattle (use the leather washers). They top any polycarb fender that I've ever seen, and after ten years as a bike mechanic, I've seen a bunch.
