I suppose a Hunq fork's only fitting for a Mammoth Mixte. Since I have a cold and my voice has flown off, I opted for email, and I just received confirmation of top'o the crown eyelets, so yup, Hunqy for the win! Wishing I had a better bender so's to make a dory shaped rack deck (hunk[q]y dory

In that case, my first guess is that it's a Hunqapillar fork. ;-) On Thursday, September 28, 2017 at 11:30:52 AM UTC-7, Kai Vierstra wrote: > > But that's instant gratification! I like the floating of questions into > the ether that happens on here, and the great and varied answers that float

But that's instant gratification! I like the floating of questions into the ether that happens on here, and the great and varied answers that float back, but you're right, I should call Will. Thanks -Kai BK NY On Thursday, September 28, 2017 at 1:06:18 PM UTC-4, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > Call

Call Will. He'll let you know. I could guess, but you'd have to give me at least three guesses before I'd be really confident. My Medium used an Appaloosa fork, but that tells you nothing. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Thursday, September 28, 2017 at 9:46:44 AM UTC-7, Kai Vierstra wrote:

Do you happen to know what fork they used? Or better yet, have pics? I'm playing around with ideas for a front rack. Fedex says Rosco's a week away... Thanks -Kai BK NY -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from

My Medium Rosco Bubbe step through does not have that Cheviot Clem L style seat lug. There's a Riv cast seat tube top ring that is brazed on the seat tube. The seat stays are tig welded to the seat tube. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, Ca. -- You received this message because you are subscribed

No idea what paint color they ended up with. I just asked for silver. Looks right to me. Gathering parts in my mind as we speak. Envisioning a fall color ride in the coming weeks. I will enjoy every minute of this build, and every minute on this bike. -- You received this message because you

Even better! If paint's the only bit of nervous/excited anticipation I've got, great. I'd take purple with great braze-ons over orange with useless braze-ons any day (no offense to purple frame lovers) -Kai BK NY On Tuesday, September 26, 2017 at 2:11:48 PM UTC-4, MartyG wrote: > > Please be

Please be advised I paid extra for the silver paint. I'm not sure where they ended up color-wise on the others, but I'm sure it will be equally delicious. On Tuesday, September 26, 2017 at 1:46:50 PM UTC-4, Kai Vierstra wrote: > > Thank You Thank You Thank You! > I'm even more excited now that
