Re: [RBW] Mb-1 closest modern riv relative

2021-01-22 Thread Mark Roland 
Nice rig, Daniel. I would not consider going to v-brakes a de facto 
"upgrade" but to each there own. Not only do I like the classic look and 
feel of cantilever brakes, but you will need to address the lever situation 
if you keep the drop bars. Then again, I also like triples, especially 
where I live and as I get wiser...
