[RBW] FS: Hunqapillar 48cm (76-83 PBH)

76.5-83cm PBH (Saddle height 66-72cm, standover on biggest tire is 77.5cm) I hate to let this one go, but I have too much overlap and not enough storage. Several small, light nicks on the frame and fork (less than 1-2cm, surface scratches only, no dents, most are painted over with matching

[RBW] Re: Breaking in a leather Brooks

There's a ton of conflicting information out there, so I'm not going to pretend this is gospel. That being said, I've had a half dozen Brooks saddles of varying ages from new to 40 years old, and have even re-covered two Brooks Professional saddles with new custom formed tops. Basically, your

Folks, If your interested in this frame & fork I'm open to discussing potential parts to sweeten the deal, for instance a barely used set of Paul Racers, bottom brackets​, sweet wheels, bars, stems... Just saying. ~hugh On Jun 18, 2017 2:52 PM, "Hugh Smitham" wrote:

Hi Roberta, not too concerned, but wet saddles stretch a bit while they're wet and loaded. Here's a B17 Select that's been high-mileage through 4 south Texas summers, and you can see it's not sagging and hasn't ridged - it started off the color of the new Swallow Select on the right.

"they're probably going to get enough water with sweat. " Is sweat something to be concerned with an untreated saddle? Currently, my saddle is untreated. Broccoli Cog--not that I'm an expert, as I've had my brooks (B-17) for 2 months--150 miles. I was a little sore after my first ride,

[RBW] Re: Breaking in a leather Brooks

Right now I have a spare Swallow Select that I bought on $99 closeout. I use proofhide on that to keep the leather from drying out in storage. On my bike's, I use Obenauff's, but I use it sparingly. Nothing time based, just as it seems to need it. I keep them polished with chamois.

I've had a good experience with both Proofide and Obenauf's. But the best is to ride! Doug -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

Proofide contains beef tallow. Obenauf's LP doesn't. Some people who work with leather professionally say that tallow is good for leather. Other say that tallow goes rancid and that it's bad for leather. After spending at least two hours reading the arguments and testimony of professionals and
