[RBW] WTH (want to have): Gran Compe wood handlebar grips and bag supports

2024-09-19 Thread 'thomasl...@comcast.net' via RBW Owners Bunch

Crosspost from iBOB. Round two of shaking loose some parts. These are 'older' parts, but may be useful to someone thrifty. For simplicity's sake in claiming/paying these, I've add these to my leather goods webshop. The pertinent items are here (and linked individually below): https://www.treeto

I think it's nice to have a mix of old and new parts on a build, but sourcing good quality used parts or NOS can be time consuming and expensive. I spent a substantial sum on a used rapid rise rear derailleur for my Platypus and *really* dig it. Is it better than a $20 Altus? Functionally no, b
