Last night I spotted one of the best looking bikes I’ve ever seen. It was an Ebisu and its proud owner found it at the Jitensha bike studio in Berkeley. The bike had these fenders, which apparently look like this when they’re being made. I didn’t have the heart to make the guy abandon his leh-zure ride for a modeling shoot in the TenderNob. But the photo below looks exactly like it, only in a slightly more elevated setting. Dreamy.

Was his name William? I know that dude!
I’ve got my own dream commuter. You can see pictures in one of the TreeHugger Galleries: http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/09/readers-commuter-bikes-slideshow.php
I’m dropping you a note as I replaced the Nigel Smythe rack top bags with Wald 135 baskets and two of your fine small messenger bags in red so I have enough carrying capacity for my daily food and clothes.
I am always looking to reduce complexity and think my small messenger bags might be modified (with a few strap changes) to work nicely without needing the Wald baskets.
Do you consider custom projects such as this?
Thanks,
Dan
Jared – I didn’t catch his name. Lives in Russian Hill(ish) though?
