I’m wondering if the trend toward discs and especially hydraulic disc brakes has been a driver in the decline in popularity of coupled bikes. More to disassemble and reassemble.

That as well. People are only drawn to a finite complication.

Like that with the Falz fork! Wish they came with other rakes besides just 45mm.

Beautiful bike!

Very nice!
Which fork did you spec in this case? (Looks well-balanced with the “normal” headtube).
And is that a metal headbadge I spy on there? (Not here, but in your blog photos)

That's an Enve 2.0...

Head badge by Suzanne at VeloColour up in Toronto. I like it but I don't know that I'm ready to commit whole hog (so to speak) to having a bunch made.

Both the taupe/champagne bicycle and the dark blue bicycle look great.
The font style picked for each of the frames matches their intended use!

I think you're right... the champagne is a 1977 Ford station wagon shade, oddly enough - maybe we need wood-grain decals for the next one?

[Blue Jays]

If both Clark and Ellen Griswold are fine with the station wagon color idea...all of us here at VSalon will be on board! :-D
