Hello Riv folks, I recently purchased a Wilbury (build in progress, pics to come), but unfortunately I need tubeless wheels out here in the desert. Sad because this wheelset is really nice and you know it’ll last forever as Rich built it. I digress. These came off a demo bike so wheels have ve

Interesting, Joe. Looks like most All-rounders did not use the “custom” head tube lugs, but at least a few did. Wasn’t the Frank Jones Sr advertised as the only production bike to use those? How often did this happen? How would one tell an all-rounder apart from a custom? Best, Aaron in El
