[RBW] Single Speed Sam on Blug

2015-08-13 Thread Alan Pickett
I called and spoke to Jared about this rack, after seeing it on the blug back on August 20th (on a cheviot) and he confirmed that it was a sample 27f without the low rider attachments. I think it can also be seen in the Cheviot brochure, in the page showing a touring set up. I would buy this r
