A current photo (September 4 2009). Yes, while fidgeting with this bike at 3:00am. last night I decided to remove the fenders. They really were quite tight - especially with these rather large wheels and tires... 630 x 28mm. (27" x 1-1/8"). One serious issue I had noticed was that with the non-French style steel "v-stays" of the cheap plastic fenders which I was using, the upper rod of the stays were rubbing against the chrome at the back of the fork blades. With the chrome so uncommonly nice on this bike I really did not want to risk any damage to the finish. To be honest, I had not entirely committed to fenders on this bike and had never even added my typical mud-flap - which I think is really necessary if you decide to go the full-fender route on a bike...
The MAFAC "Racer" brake pads on this bike are all moved to the upper (shortest) limits of the brake adjustment slots. In fact, the front brake caliper is not well suited to these wheels at all. The pads must approach the rim at an awkward angle. The correct size 700c rims for sew-up (aka: sprint or tubular) tires intended for this bike would be 4 mm. shorter in radius and this would allow a slightly better fit but would still be pushing the limits of these brakes. Mafac "Competition" calipers from this era may have allowed a very slightly shorter reach... maybe some day. Until then, I'll just continue to eat up inexpensive replacement brake pads with uneven wear. These brakes work well enough, anyway.
I suppose I really "Should" finally build up a better wheelset for this bike. I do have a perfect set of Normandy "Luxe Competition" hubs and Robergel French spokes which would be perfect - and in fact "correct" for the bike. But, I'm still reluctant to commit to tubular rims which would be ideal. ... Always so many options and minor decisions to make for any bike.

This idea came a bit late as gifts for my step kids Max and Phannie who collected fidget spinners for a while, this one seems to be the last to their collection. The video was made over Thanksgiving dinner.
For some reason I can not get the high resolution to play in Flickr.
Easy to fold. I had to use a wire and bearings from a fidget spinner, but the folds hold well and glue or tape was not use.
The latest playground craze. Luckily my son works in a shop that sells them so he can buy them before they go on the shelves!

Yesterday evening.
Our Star Magnolia bloomed three weeks later than usual, but spring has finally arrived.
We got a lot done in the last month, and I'm glad to be back on Flickr. I'll visit your pages over the next few days.

A picky pad is basically a fidget item alternative for people who skin-pick or bite nails. I got it at the Neurospicy market to try.
I liked all the little treasures found instead, but I actually found the removal process annoying instead of satisfying as it was too difficult to remove them.
Homemade fidget spinner.
Four skateboard bearings and some American coinage, all stuck together with superglue :-)
Love this doll like crazy.
And I was thinking about her and her awesome hair, she is actually a Real Vanilla but with these rainbow hairs and I know SOOO Many people are down on the "Fakes & TBL" Dolls and I tell you what, I am GLAD they are there, Because Takara is NOT Trying any more.. Look at this hair? Its AWESOME, IF Takara would do stuff like this they might win back those of us that LOVE the Crazy Hairs of the fake dolls, I am GLAD they are there :P
