I like supporting US companies so I prefer to use Paul's on all my bikes. For me, as well, I think most V brakes are just plain ugly too. The Mini moto's are ok looking because of the graceful curve but the wire clearance over the tire just clears a Rock'n road. ....and yes the polished versions are very nice, both sets I have are polished.
I looked for a used Hisen for a few years with the same plan you have, I never found one in my size. I ended up getting a non -Riv custom. Then comes the toughest part of such a project... picking a paint color. ~mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
