This is the Graftek of historical interest, ridden in the mid-late 70's by ARCO-North Hollywood Wheelmen, John Howard, and Bob Cook, among others. http://www.classicrendezvous.com/USA/Graftek.htm I've never seen the model being offered by Boulder Bicycles. Looks much more recent. I wondered whether production was subcontracted out, but the description seems to have answered that question. At first glance, I thought it was an Aegis or a Basso. ~pb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Haha. I thought there would be a run on these saddles. They had 13 and I bought 3. Got my package in the mail today and it's like they came out of a time capsule from 1992. Perfect. I checked their remaining stock and they still have 10. I guess I'm not the influential opinion-maker on the interwebz that I thought I was.

Sounds like the fork is all metal, though. $269 shipped is a bargain. I probably won't order a Graftek frameset, but I seriously might order a couple of these saddles: Vetta Lite http://boulderbicycle.bike/Saddles-and-Seatposts/Saddles/Vintage-Saddles/Vetta-Lite-Mens-saddle-NOS-gorgeous-black-padded-saddle-from-1992-235-grams.html I remember this saddle well, and had it on my 1993 MB-1. $30 for a 235g saddle that I already know I like. That's hard to beat. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

A B-17 Standard weighs about 520g. On Saturday, February 28, 2015 at 2:49:22 AM UTC-8, Tim wrote: Hey Bill, any idea what a B-17 weighs? Not that it matters, just curious the difference. I think that would be a great saddle to put on my old Stumpjumper, or maybe I could buy a couple of the saddles so I could have an excuse to look for a B'stone or other frame to put it on! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
