Thanks again for all the further compliments. I was very lucky to get this for a very, very low price, 3/4 the cost of a Home Hilsen frameset.
I am afraid that some of the parts will have to change: I expect that I shall have to swap out the brake levers for something more modern to get decent braking, and God willing I will shortly come into a B&M S12 dyno set to replace the country-correct but achronistic and glow-worm feeble Soubitez setup. I may well have to swap out the Simplex rd for a Shimano to accomodate the larger rear cogs I hope to find. It's already a mix: first gen Phil hubs, Araya rims, Turbo saddle. I may also swap out the Belleri bar for a 44 cm Nitto. After all, this is a user and not a looker. Again, looking for Jack Browns and wide range 5 speed freewheels with a 17 or 18 t cog in the middle and a 30 or bigger large cog. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
