Rim Brake Perfection, lets fan boy yours..

slowly getting my new to me Anderson dialed.. had to switch out the saddle for now.. as nice as the Arione R1 carbon was (and so light), not sure it fits with my butt.. also, just installed some 30mm Corsa Controls on the C24 wheels.. they look to measure out to around 28-29mm with a little bit of lightbulb effect.. loving this bike so far!

Current pics-



clearance with the 30mm Corsa Controls (it had 25mm on it prior), I think this is the largest I dare to go-

dialed indeed!

so i finally got the Anderson out for a proper ride today, around 29ish miles.. I think this bike is going to work very well! Dialed the seat height in just a bit and called it good.. the only differences I made from how I got it is moving the hoods up a bit on the bars, changed the saddle, and put the 30mm tires on (and set my saddle height of course)..

fly pal, well done well done.

Give it time, evaluate it on its own merits, don't try and compare with your previous ex's esp. the racy glamorous types. It's a paradigm shift.

30mm is perfect, anything bigger it may feel bobbly.

your weight is shifted further back than what you are used to so you may need to adjust saddle tilt again or entirely new saddle (try WTB rocket).

This bike will carry you all the way until you retire from cycling completely if you let it.

Enjoy!

Holy hell this thing is nice. Is Anderson building anymore?

his site says his list is closed.. I did reach out to him when I had this on the way and he sent me a really nice reply with a "how to care for your stainless steel bike" article..

this bike rides soooo nice!! I was really happy to get the 30mil tires on.. admittedly, they are a little less than 30mm when measured on the current wheels (around 28.5-29mm), but the wheels are so nice, I don't mind..

I'm very happy to learn that you heard from him, so presumably he's OK! He's not just an uber-talented framemaker but a wonderful human.

My new (to me) Della Santa, built with some old Campagnolo Chorus 9. It is just exactly right.
