Yes, very close to horizontal. Here's a pic of mine (Dirt Drops, not Noodles) http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/1864949316/in/set-72157602592825848/ MUCH more comfortable that way. FWIW, I betcha' you could mask off and spray paint the head tube and do a real good job. I've been VERY much considering doing that on my "opposite of slow" -beam bike. > > On Feb 16, 9:58 pm, David Estes <cyclotour...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 8:43 PM, Benji <be...@me.com> wrote: > > > > > Hello all, > > > > > I've worked pretty hard, with very little money, to take an old frame > > > and make it look new. > > > > > I'm curious to see what you all think, let me know. > > > > >http://www.flickr.com/photos/benjib/ > > > > > > > -- Cheers, David Redlands, CA --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
