Not tried either but I did check both a few years ago. Remember stumbling on a well regarded frame builders site and reading his report of having to re-braze quite a few Break-Away frames. There were some pictures too and he described it as causing the lower clamp breaking. Anyone know more about this? I haven't heard of a broken S&S coupling but I would think it's better suited to loaded touring.
As I also had a couple of lugged frames in need of refurbishing, my plan was to have them converted a'la Herse Demountable instead! But due to problem of sourcing a reliable welder local the project has been put on the backburner for now. Once finished it should look some what similar to this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bensondoc/sets/72157601730455819/ Btw, anyone know if the S&S foldable backpack case is worth getting? http://www.sandsmachine.com/ac_back.htm --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
