A surprise resolution to this thread! I just ordered the blue 59 Frank Jones Sr that went on the 'web specials' today. That's the Rivendell single speed frame I actually wanted when I got this Quickbeam. Very excited! This also means I'll have a very nice condition 60cm green Quickbeam for sale. E

Huh. I removed CR720s, and installed CX50s. I bend-fudged the arms a bit, since the rack had been repaired, but everything lined up perfectly, including the fender drilling to the M12 mount. The Wald was welded right to the rack, too, which is pretty ratrod couture. I do not use the double-end

Thank you all for all the detailed recommendations and thoughts! Tough decisions on this little but important aspect of the build. :) Bill: thanks for cautioning the M12 with those brake types. I wonder if I could mabe get it to work by 'cold setting' the rack like so? https://justinvelo.com/2

Not heresy by me; before I got Chauncey Matthews to make custom racks for me, the Tubus Fly and Ortliebs were my carriage solution of choice. Both brands make wonderful products at reasonable prices, IMO. I agree that there is nothing as convenient for carrying things than a large front basket but

This is probably heresy... but I'd install a Tubus rear rack and use an Ortlieb roller classic pannier. Why carry weight high on the front when you can carry low on the back? On Monday, February 19, 2018 at 2:59:21 PM UTC-6, nathan wrote: > > I'm excitedly building up a new-to-me green 60cm Quic

Nathan, If you decide to ignore Bills advice (and to be honest if i had read this before thinking about what you are i may have not gone thru with my purchase) and try to make it work with the Pauls, I have an M12 and the requisite Pauls Adaptor Nuts in my parts box. I was thinking of doing th

Congrats! I use the M12 and a medium Wald on my green Quickbeam and it works well. The brakes aren't Pauls, however. Isaac -- 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,
