29th March 2020 - Brooks B67 for the Big Dummy

This weekend, being a little yesterday and then this afternoon managed to finally fit the B67 Brooks saddle to the Big Dummy and swap the bars back off the Pugsley. I had swapped the H bar off the Dummy to the Pugsley for the Puffer but as the Big Dummy may go to commuting duties soon I thought get it set back to how it should be, and it also suites and rides so much better with the H bar. The seat I have had for somewhere between 18 months and 2 years, just never getting round to it, I suppose if whats there works, then leave it :)  It was never really forgotten but just put back to a rainy day type job.
The seat just needed a bit of tensioning and the bars adjusted and after a quick sorte it was good to go. While there was nothing much up with the old SDG seat, the old Brooks felt instantly nice and comfortable.
Now I just have to get round to changing the front end back to a the more normal size and build my Dynamo hub wheels up. I have an SP hub for the front and use the existing Alfine for the rear laced onto a pair of Rigida Sputniks, heavy duty rims for sure. Hopefully will fit a pair of Surly ET tyres. This will make it roll better for doing some more tarmac miles with Caleb being on his own bike 99% of the time now. I was tempted to remove his stoker stem from the seatpost and his footpegs but decided to leave on for the time being, just in case.
Looking forward to when we can get back out and tour.
Anyway just thought I would share.
Hope everyone is doing OK, staying healthy and keeping sane.
