A huge testimonial from here for the Grip King Supremes. I have a set on my Mystery Bike, and there is no more comfortable pedal anywhere. Here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/8366365230/in/set-72157630957672582/

After the racks and fenders are done, it will go into full daily rider service. Meanwhile, the real emotional part of the project can kick off. Some of you will remember that my father and I were collaborating on the Grip King Supreme. These were extra pedal cages that augment the Grip King. We did the design, and made and sold a prototype batch here to the group. If you search the archives or my flickr for "Grip King Supreme" you'll see them. When I picked up the bike over Christmas, I also picked up all the tooling my father had been working on to help get me into production. The setup is not complete, and I'll have to reverse engineering the procedure, but I have a general idea of what he had in mind. The real topper for the Windsor will be when I put on the Grip King Supremes. Hopefully I will finally get into production, and the 20 or so emails I've saved from prospective customers will finally be returned.

I got my pop's Windsor into rideable condition last night. I rode it around the block and I'm extremely pleased so far. The real highlight is that the 40 year old Dia Compe centerpull brakes have extraordinary braking power. I'm really really impressed. It's not done in my mind until the racks and fenders are on, but getting it to rideable was a big step. The racks ought to be in soon, maybe tomorrow, and then I'll be able to do the rack and fender install. Even without racks, the Saddlesack Medium fits, so this bike is S24O ready. It's full Alba-smile worthy. Imperfection side story. I was so thrilled how the bar tape looked with clear shellac. I ran out of clear and rushed down to the hardware store. They were down to their last can of clear, and that can was kind of banged up. It had splatter and drips on it, but it seemed full when I shook it. Whatever. I bought it and have done a couple more coats of "clear". It's looking more amber, and the one side that I first did with clear looks lighter than the side that got three coats of this tainted can. Oh well, we're making memories (as my mom always says)! <http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5506/12080685874_d8a0ba4d48_z.jpg> <http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5506/12080685874_d8a0ba4d48_z.jpg> Tons of Photos<http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5506/12080685874_d8a0ba4d48_z.jpg> <http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5506/12080685874_d8a0ba4d48_z.jpg> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
