Update...no pix yet. My mixte arrived yesterday. That bike was sure lovingly packed; I think you could have dropped that box from a 6-story building and had a gorilla dance on it and bike would have been fine. Nice packing job but no cat drawings - boo hoo :) Took us about 3/4 of an hour or

Sure can be In my case, I think that my frame was probably tweaked for the choco-norm bars...as opposed to moustache bars I typically ride. But since the Chocs extend back farther than the M-bars would, I needed a longer stem to compensate. I'm sure that Mark or Will or Grant can explain

Interesting. What size is your frame? I'm still not sure about the stem size on my Chevoit or if the Choco norm bars will stay. Handlebar choice can be a slippery slope. On Tuesday, January 10, 2017 at 2:58:54 PM UTC-5, Ryan Fleming wrote: > > They do look like neat bars and I was willing to

Re: [RBW] Re: Spyshots of my custom mixte - happy days

They do look like neat bars and I was willing to try something a bit different I had originally ordered a 9cm Tallux stem but after mostly building up the bike ,Mark (and Grant and Will agreed) that the 9cm stem with the flipped Chocos which extend back way more than moustaches I usually ride

[RBW] Re: Spyshots of my custom mixte - happy days

I had thought I would go with Shimano CX70 Cantilevers, but Grant recommended Paul Racers and I'm glad I went with them. My old PX-10 has Mafac Racers with Kool-stop pads and these brakes may be 70's throwbacks , but I think they work really, really well for rim brakes. On Wednesday, January

It is a beautiful colour...just as I envsioned and it'll look neat in sunlight too. It's a metallic burgundy ---from Joe Bell's chart of colours And since I don't possess the mechanical /artistic skills that you , Bill or my partner has, I am glad that Mark at Riv is building the bike and

It's great that RBW is making brazed-on centerpulls am option for more frames. Whether Mafac RAID, Compass RAIID, or Paul, it's a brilliant and clean design. - Andrew, Berkeley On Wednesday, January 4, 2017 at 8:51:54 AM UTC-8, Ryan Fleming wrote: > > Paul Racers > > On Wednesday, January 4,
