Gosh, thank you. The fenders on the Frank Jones were particularly difficult, I think I spent about 6 hours mounting them. There is less clearance under the fork crown than on the brake bridge. I had some NOS Gran Compe 610 centerpull brakes that I originally intended to use. The brakes

These wheels were "leftover summer" wheels from my previous Quickbeam. Phil Wood hubs have removable bolts that allow the wheel to drop straight down without disturbing the fenders. They work quite well. On Friday, April 6, 2018 at 11:28:20 PM UTC-5, Lum Gim Fong wrote: > > How do you

Beautiful build! I think you're going to be very happy with the Frank - I know I'm absolutely loving how it rides. Hoping to get fenders mounted and ready for some "finished" shots this weekend. Looking at your nice clean drivetrain and fenders makes me re-think my multi-gear Frank approach.

Oh! FJR looks GREAT! The PW hubs can drop straight down after removing the bolt. The cap isn't just a flat washer, it's stepped so that's what keep the axle centered on the track end. Hopefully that makes sense. :) On Saturday, April 7, 2018 at 12:28:20 AM UTC-4, Lum Gim Fong wrote: > >

Mega-APPROVE. You absolutely nailed the fender lines, which is not easy on a single speed. Phil hubs are useful on a singlespeed with fenders, because you can take the axle bolts all the way out to drop the wheel straight down. That's a peach of a bike, right there. Bill Lindsay El

Wow - really handsome bike. Your fender and bar wrap choices perfectly compliment the gray & cream! Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to
