Busch & Muller make a fork crown mount specifically for cantis; it's made of the same stainless rod. Instead of going upwards like the standard B mount you have now, it drops down about 1 cm below the brake hole to dip under the straddle; not great for fenders, but an LA bike can probably live

The brass bits are nice but if you just bend the original light mount a bit it would fit under the straddle cable and do the job nicely. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving

Looks like fun, Jake! Keep us posted ✌️ It's nice to see one of those old Nexave rapid risers going to use. Where did you pick up that Nissen housing? I just used some on a build. I think I have a royal blue safety triangle from Blue Lug, brand new. I'd trade for that silver one if you're

Ping me your addy, and one spanking new Riv tealish-blue lugged bandana will be in the mail. Frame Saver is a good idea. I have T-9, but I believe Frame Saver is preferred. On Saturday, January 14, 2023 at 1:20:09 PM UTC-5 eliot...@gmail.com wrote: > Yes! I would absolutely take a free

Yes! I would absolutely take a free bandana for funzies. Since you haven’t started the build yet, you might consider some Frame Saver. Especially if you’re anywhere near the sea (my Florida geography is quite limited but I think I see the ocean). It used to be owned by JP Weigle and is now sold

Hi Kim, Good eye! I'll try my Albatross bar that never worked with my RB-1 and replace the original drops. I feel like I will end up with something like a Nitto X Crumbworks bar (I'm a distance motorcyclist - love the palms-down hand position) but need to put some (s)miles on the Sam before
