Ilks particularly welcome. I like ilks. You get a much modified Riv custom that will take 32s with fenders (tight, but doable) plus a second, Chauncey fork with canti bosses that will take a 42 but not with a fender (and that with lightly longer legs will affect the handling a wee bit, but this bike handles a bit quicker than say a Ram while retaining the ineffable seamlessness in transition between straight and turn), and a rear triangle that will just clear a 42 under the bridges if you don't install the caliper brake the frame was designed for. The bike has custom-built rear rack (odd single strut mount to bolt brazed onto s stay bridge but very sturdy) and front lowriders and rather crude but effective internal/loop wire routing from hub to headlamp (mounts on front fender/lowrider brace) and to rack-mounted tail lamp. Lamps not included, void where prohibited by law, consult your physician if you experience any of these symptoms.
You also get the currently installed pair of 50 mm VO "hammered" fenders and a pair of new, never-mounted Berthoud stainless steel 45 mm fenders. Looong, more-than-1010-long rear dropouts that have had 1/4" cut from bottom front to ease wheel installation and removal, cuts primered. Frame no longer has Joe Bell job, just a nice powdercoat. I seek a single speed mountain bike with a top tube close enough to my road bike 56-to-57 effective c-c length that I can install a drop bar. Rigid 26ers considered if you have ss-ified the rear wheel. A Medium Monocog 29er would be the cat's pyjamas. I have fevered dreams of installing a 52 t crank to drive a 17 t cog on that S3X hub for 89/67/57 or so, or maybe not. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Moore Alburquerque, Nuevo Mexico, Etats Unis d'Amerique, Orbis Terrarum -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
