After our return from Tibet I cleaned and reassembled the Franklin. I mounted narrower (Schwalbe Durano 28) tires which gave me enough clearance to install fenders (Velo Orange hammered aluminum.) I swapped out the saddle for a Terry Buzz-Off, swapped the stem for one with more rise, and mounted a decaleur to attach a large Swift Industries rando bag. Took a couple of short rides and I like it!
