Thank you Jeff for sharing. Eric had mentioned Circles bike shop in his MB-2 build, so I appreciate the link.
Is it just me or is it kind of crazy that we have to search the world over to find a particular bike part???? It shouldn't have to be this hard to find current production parts. I could understand if it were some odd, vintage part that was out of production for decades, but really, production parts not available in the US. Ugh, rant off.
