Panels are definitely in.

This frame is for big 32 mm road tires and long reach caliper brakes. It will be a commuter on the streets of San Fransisco. No hipster machine...I see a more classic style in what this particular customer asked for. I ordered a custom Wound-Up fork that will have the room for the bigger tires and take the R-600 long reach calipers. I might make one of these for myself.....it really makes sense to have a non-race road bike that will be sturdy enough for just about anything.
