Yes.

[RBW] Re: Updating an old bike (sound familiar?)
For a bike frame like that it's best used with what's called a low profile cantilever, like a Sun Tour XC Pro and/or Dia Compe 988 lookalike. I had a custom "sport/touring" long wheelbase frame built in '99 and specified cantilevers. It has the similar narrow-er canti post spacing than frames built for wider tires like mtb's. With an Origin8 front cable stop it's the best braking bike I've ever had, it's really great. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
