I am building mine as a first 26 inch size bike as my boys grow into that size. The first one 9 years old) will get it as soon as I get it built up, assuming he can fit! Cockpit: dirt drop stem and swept back bars so that he can reach. Cotton grips. Shifting: simple thumbie for a 1x8 with Altus derailer. Crank: 165mm, 36t and a chainguard. Cassette: shimano 11-30 Wheels: basic wheels from Taylor wheels. Thank you strong dollar. Basic shimano Dynamo hub up front. Tires: Pasela 26x1.75 (the smallest I should go, said Riv, but I want to keep this bike small). Dynamo hub up front. Brakes Avid v brakes. Levers shimano mountain. Fenders: p55 sks Lights: b and m lyt up front, topline plus on back Racks: working on that. I have a pletscher for the rear and a Gamoh porter for the front, but might be too much.
Looking forward to getting this thing and taking waaaay too long to build it up. Edwin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
