Scored this really sweet Affinity with S&S Couplers. Billy from Affinity had his metropolitan modified by Moth Attack to have the couplers added. I believe Affinity's plan was to make the S&S Couplers bike into a production bike to be sold with an Holdfast travel backpack. That never came to fruition and this is the only one (I think). It originally came with omniums, chub hubs to SL42s and some bontrager cockpit (when I got it). http://www.affinitycycles.com/happenings/2011/05/prollys-post-beautiful-bicycle-billys-ss-affinity-metropolitan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itRSWL1J4hw Bike is for sale locally if interested

Was thinking about getting the same fork. Any idea on the max tire clearance? Haven't been able to find info on that anywhere

I have 27mm in the fork now, 28s would fit but I wouldn't go any higher than that.
