Hello all, thanks for the interest. I actually bought this second hand from another list member who hired Walt to do the conversion. I can't speak to the exact amount, but I believe it was in the neighborhood of a couple hundred bucks. No paint, this frame is just rattle-canned on the disc mounts.
William P, the vertical piece added between the chainstays is a brace, stiffens up that area where the brake is. Very common on disc brake bikes. Atlantis fork is probably a no-go, I imagine you'd have a hard time finding a builder willing to do that for you, but Walt checked the tubing spec on the fork of Ol' Clem Smith here, and determined it to be of sufficient wall thickness to support a disc-mount. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
