Thanks again, Julian. For the Kelpies, I plan (God willing) to have Chauncey braze on aftermarket strut bosses some-way up the fork legs, both so that the trailing part of the fender moves away from the tire if it should be caught and dragged up toward the crown, and also so that the trailing part

I wouldn’t be surprised. As far as I can tell the original Riv silver shifter and the Gran Compes are identical—probably made in the same factory—and they seem to have failed in the exact same way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"
