[RBW] Hunqapillar builds

l probably get a Hunqapillar to use as an all-rounder and camping/touring type bike. RBW doesn't have much up in the way of pictures and there's not much on Flickr. Thanks, mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

That's a great looking bike. Glad you like it. I've used Ergo shifters and STI and love my Silver BE shifters best of all. I can't really see going back to STI or Ergo, just doesn't seem worth the extra cost. Even if I built up a "go fast" bike I'd probably

"Don't ask, don't tell" is a great household policy for dealing with bike expenditures. At my wedding a friend gave me great advice, he said "Anytime you buy something new for your bike just tell your wife you got it off Ebay for $5." On Nov 29, 9:45 am, Frankwurst wrote: > Sure!  My wife threw
