another hot day in Sacramento

Here you can see the Gullwing rear suspension that I added after I saw it
at Interbike in 1994. Also visible is the Zound air-horn, with its pressure bottle
in one of my handlebar water-bottle cages. The front panniers are the smallest Ortlieb roll-tops (old style),
that I bought because of their waterproof qualities and excellent construction;
but even with the bottoms of the panniers bound tightly with straps, they
still scrape the ground in a moderately tight turn (as when rounding a corner
at a reasonable speed). Click on the image to see a close-up of the front
wheel detail.
