And, yes, it's a fair point to say that Tomii can and should do what he wants. I'm sure if people with their wallets out want fender mounts and a Whisky fork he'll make it happen. |
Ok, ill admit im basing that statement on my experience with some tektro long reach side-pulls that im sure have been updated and improved since i rode em...but yea, they sucked. the mid-reach paul racers i replaced em with were EXCELLENT, but required hangers...which is what it is but certainly would change the character of what is supposed to be a "road bike."
And yes, I can say with a great deal of certainty that if 5-10 people got together deposits/whatever and contacted Nao to build a run of whisky forked/fender mount canvas's, he would be more than happy to oblige.
