Nice kit! A questions about the wedge under-tube bag: How's the "waggle-factor" in that? Much side-to-side movement since there's only security along the downtube?
Yup, the frames are basically the same; this one's just a touch more stripped down That saddle's not a swift; it's a velo-orange "model 6" saddle. It's super comfy right out of the box and even after many miles in the saddle... I haven't tried dirt drops, though I thought about it. I'm actually thinking about putting on an albatross (nitto "north road") on, maybe inverted, as that would provide even more width for cranking the bike up steep hills.
I got this one a bit over a year ago; I think it was an earlier incarnation of the soon-to-be-available-again drakkar. Here's a link to a photo gallery, as I continue to have difficulty uploading pics to this site. The build is the same with the addition of an axiom "journey" rear rack and occasionally a mini front rack. A lot of the time there're SKS fenders, too.
Sorry if this ends up being a double-post (I tried to reply earlier, but it doesn't appear to have gone through...)... I ride a Rawland Drakkar (700c, fixed-only as there's no provision for a rear brake) extensively off-road and it's a great bike: light, responsive, sturdy, comfortable. Strongly recommend a Rawland. I tried earlier to post a pic or two... let me know if you need 'em.
