Hi Michael,
I think these are pretty hard to come by and it's my thinking if someone
has a set it's gonna be in use. I have a set currently in use on my
Atlantis. I'm building another bike up and just ordered
another WI VBC crankset
from
https://avt.bike/collections/white-industries-cranksets
I've had the same issue with gmail putting RBW Owners Bunch in my spam

Yes, that essentially describes my set up and why my drops feel so good.
When I sit up hands on top of the bar I sit fairly upright so I get the
