[RBW] 59cm Atlantis frame, for sale or trade

A year ago I bought an RBW Atlantis frame, but never finished building it up. When Alex Wirth posted a "For Sale" notice of his remaining RBW bikes, I fell in love with the Appaloosa, especially the fork crown. Sure, the Atlantis has a lovely fork crown, but it's the same as the crown on my R

2019-09-17 Thread Eric Grim
I use seed lac or button lac, dissolved in denatured alcohol of course, to soak the jute twine on my bars. Both darken the twine, which is OK with me. I think it's likely that the blonde lac would not darken the tape as much, but I am confident it will still darken it some. Eric "Limper" Grim
