[RBW] Sam Hillborne for Touring
We recently put together this custom build for an adventurous customer: http://www.renaissancebicycles.com/gallery/rb-gallery-1/ Bob is planning to ride across the U.S. in 2011; he wanted a comfortable (yet classic) bike that could carry 30-40 lbs., use a modern drivetrain, and have bar-end shifting. In other words, his taste and ours matched pretty well. While don't tell our other customers, this bike is my personal favorite of the Hillbornes we've built.

I love the spacer detail the hillborne, roadeos and foys are getting in the headsets. One minor thing - shouldn't the interrupter levers be rotated down a bit more? -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I just noticed one other thing - has the fork curve improved on the newer hillbornes than when they were first introduced? -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
