I'm finally writing a review, as it took me a while to get my low kicker set up just the way I wanted...but I think it's nearly there.

I was nervous about building this up from the frame because of it being a "low trail" bike...but it handles great. I tend to front-load it, but also have a rack for the rear that I'll use if necessary, and it works great with a load on either front or back.

I set it up with Crazy Bars and a 2x Shimano Cues drivetrain for range.

Note that when they say you can use fender with up to 48mm smooth tires, they mean smooth! I have the Velo Orange Wavy Fenders on this bike. It took some time to get there. I tried the Rene Herse 48mm Juniper Ridge tires but they would not work with the fenders. The 42mm Pumpkin Ridge tires looked anemic (in my opinion) with the fenders. The 45mm Pirelli Gravel M tires are great on road and gravel and work with the fenders.

The top tube isn't quite low enough to be a true "step through," but enough for me, that I generally step over the top tube now. I wanted something I could wear, sometimes, with a skirt, and something where I could step over the top tube if I put something on top of a rear rack...and this is that.

I'm really glad, now that I built up this bike. After going through a bunch of other bikes, I think this one's a "keeper."

Great pieces! And i have a few extra after my build

Great little piece! Adds character for sure!

As advertised.

The seller provided easy and responsive communication. Shipped fast, and I am very happy with the good’s quality.

650b Wavy Fenders, 58mm - Silver and Noir

This is a really well designed and manufactured rack. Velo Orange make super high quality bike parts and asesserys. There racks and fenders are the best quality in the bike industry. The Flat pack Rack is super adjustable. When installed with both support stays it is incredibly rigid and strong. But it's only rated to 17lb. Max. There are a lot of cheaper, lower quality racks with much higher weight range.

Called on phone, spoke with knowledgable staff member. Placed order online, extremely fast shipping and well packaged. Product as described and good directions to follw for assembly. Looks to be an excellent product.

IMO these are superior to shimano cables. I have these on two single speed, soon to adorn my fixed. Colors are great for personalization.

Good fit to my bike, Medium reach rim brakesn are hard to find. I’m happy!

I use the shims with the Tall-Stack Stem 31.8mm to 26.0mm Deda Dritto flat bar looking fabulous.

This was my first purchase from Velo Orange, but it won't be my last. The stem is strong and very well made. It was easy to fit and provided the change in my riding position that I was seeking. Thanks Velo Orange!

Look no further if you are searching for a high rise stem. I am rebuilding a cyclocross bike into a single speed commuter and the Happy Stem paired perfectly with the Granola Bars to get my handlebars up to where I want them.

Good hard to find priduct

These have to be the easiest cable caliper I have ever set up. I have owned several mid and high end calipers in the past. The internal routing on my frame would not work with the Paul Klampers I owned. These were routed similar to a hydraulic caliper and matched perfectly.
