[RBW] Re: Not MUSA but Very Riv

[Ron Mc]

thanks - the bike is really quite fast - it's definitely my most aggressive 
riding position.  We have kind of a Sunday morning 7-mi sprint from uptown 
to downtown, and a friend pacing along with me asked if I had a motor in 
it.

Wow! Pretty. Ron!
Your bikes always look "fast" in the pics.

you're welcome, Clayton. . 
When a buddy gave me GB Map of England bars, had to use a Nitto UL-2 clamp 
stem to attach them.  The GB Hiduminium and Raleigh Maes bar cockpit with 
Weinmann levers came off as a unit.  


    

But I made up for it with beautiful GB Arret levers

Wow! 
It’s so pretty, I’d run it, even if it was a horrible fit...and care less about 
its weight.朗 Thanks for the pictures and education.
I guy I worked for in the nineties at Qranc, came up with the word IRIDIUM (I 
think that’s the word?) for Oakley. He said it was pure marketing BS, not a 
technology. The lenses were just lexan plastic. I think I remember he said the 
lens cost around 25 cents to make. 
I wonder what alloys are in Hiduminum. 樂 
Thanks again Ron.

The GB Hiduminium stem is a damned good-looking stem.

Actually, Hiduminium and Duralumin go to prewar aircraft alloy trade 
names.  
People sure want Hardy flyreels made from these alloys.  

  


The GB Hiduminium stem is a damned good-looking stem.

Interesting look into what concerned riders of yesteryear. Looks like 
nothing much has changed! Biking stuff was expensive back then, too!! Guess 
that indicates prices will never lower now.
