I have both a front and back V-O Constructeur rack. I just pulled out the front and googled some disc brake pictures on the internet. I would bet the front rack would clear disc brakes. You're welcome to drop by sometime and compare…"
Garth Liebhaber replied to spencewine's discussion 'cheap lighting solutions' in the group Chicago Randonneurs"Boulevard Bikes has some headlights. One is a decent LED unit meant for a dynamo.

- About me:
- My dream is cyclotouring. Especially to go around the world. This summer I would like to go to Illinois State Beach Park again. It would be fun with a few other people.
Green is my favorite color and I happily own my dream bike, a green Heron Wayfarer touring bike. I think this year I'll finally be able to get a generator hub and lights as well as new dimpled Honjo fenders. :)
That's a little about me, bicycle wise.

Anne B. said… I have a plot at the garden at Lawrence and Western. I didn't know there were individual plots at Waters- that's such a cool space over there.
Don't know what the garden is along Ravenswood but I will definitely check that out! Further north along Ravenswood there are the west Andersonville gardens but those are mostly flowers and such. Would be fun to have a bike tour of northside community gardens next spring!

- sorry,,, : ) As you must know, we Garths get used to being the only ones "in the room". And it often feels bizarre when we meet other Garths. One time I received a spam email which I noticed was also sent to about a hundred other Garths that the spam robots collected. Perhaps we should have our own website? "Club Garth" ?
Now, I see your nick name is the Square Wheelman which reminds me that there is a folk tale about a farmer named Garth, whose field is not square, but triangular. Something tells me that would be easier to deal with than a square wheel!
Happy Wheeling, look forward to running into you in person. Sincerely, Garth (the other one)
