[RBW] WTB: Front centerpull brake

I'm experiencing a fender clearance problem on my Sam with R559 sidepulls and I'm hoping that switching to a centerpull in the front will fix it. Does anyone have a front Paul Racer, Compass, Dia Compe etc. sitting in a parts bin that might help me? (Fork crown mount, preferably recessed) TMI:

Solved! After stopping in to chat at the amazing non-profit bike shop, the Community Cycling Center, I was tipped off that the issue could be caused by insufficient cable tension. I'm sort of embarrassed that I overlooked this one. I don't think I mentioned in my original post that I also

Re: [RBW] Roadini at RBW

That seat lug is a smart step for simplifying construction across a lot of sizes. With the Clems the smaller frames had very curved seatstays whereas the largest are straight. It must've been a pain to bend all those tubes to spec, we'll probably not that big of a pain, but pain enough. With

Re: [RBW] Roadini at RBW

Pretty nice for a budget bike! Why the tigg'ing at the head tube instead of elsewhere? I suppose it has to do with the economics of building, but can someone explain how this choice affects costs? Also: any ideas why the socketed seat tube cluster instead of some other design? Is this one for

Stopped by RBW for a few small things today and got to try the proto-Roadini. Here's an album with some pics: https://goo.gl/photos/uNuwi6pGPSEJf71w5 It is a very comfortable bike to ride, as are all Rivs. 46cm chainstay on this 57cm, so it's longer than a Roadeo and shorter than Clem, etc.

I am a fan of Surlys and have owned several. The flat top tubes and short head tubes, however, always made it a challenge to get the bars where I wanted them. I love the long head tubes and quick up-down adjustment of the quill stems on the Rivendells. The Appaloosa fits me well and I'm
