Ignoring the expensive kiln dried logs which are now sopping. Ignoring the new shed with temporary plastic sheeting because it's too wet to felt. Ignoring the inner tube museum which hasn't had a new exhibit for over a year and ignoring the 1935 tandem I just bought which really shouldn't be out in the rain, but there's no room left in the garage or the aforementioned new shed. The Marin. I'm doing a frame swap. My recently completed SMIDSY bike turned out to have such piss poor clearance that it wouldn't accept a 28c tyre and a mudguard. It got clogged up with SALT recently FFS. So this old Kentfield has a butted chromoly frame, slightly longer base and tt and enough clearance to take a fender and a 35c tyre. Yay. I need to add some braze-ons for low rider and bottle cages and I'll have myself a super duty tourer!
