I haven’t tried but I’m guessing yes. I only make these for the bikes I build unfortunately.

Can your “lever lock” brakes accommodate a 48mm tire with fender? I like the idea of the brake pivots closer to the fork crown / seat stay bridge as compared to cantilevers and would like to use a tire a bit larger than the 42mm the Rene Herse center pulls can cover.

It’s hard to figure it out just from looking at the pictures of this wonderful Touring bike 🙂

Hi Harvey! It is just a reflector. The taillight is located between the rails of the saddle.
