The bottle cage is always the hardest part of the build! Grin. I look forward to seeing the build and more forward to ride reports and photos and exploits! Grin. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To

Nice to have the bike back. Pictures of the frame on my blog; http://dr2dc.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-salukis-back.html . I'm happy with the color and the semi-flat topcoat, I wish the lug window painting had a bit more care to it but I'll be able to touch that up myself. I hung the first

Re: [RBW] Re: Saluki on it's way back

Looks mighty good. The green and cream brings back fond memories of a Saluki I once owned. Now get it assembled and back on the road where it belongs. That first ride will suggest that you should sell all your other bikes and keep this one. That's what my Purple People Eater as someone calls

I'm using a recessed nut on my M-12. Going to loctite it when I get home. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

Re: [RBW] Re: Saluki on it's way back

Thanks Bill! Your ears must have been burning I was just thinking about you as I was loading the XO-3 into the stand to donate some of it's parts to the Saluki rebuild! Never fear it will be built back up - back to M-bar's I think. The Saluki should get a test roll around the neighborhood later

Re: [RBW] Re: Saluki on it's way back

Yes, if you loose the fork crown bolt for some reason and your rack is loaded the only place for it to go is forward/down onto the wheel or onto the ground (depending on the strut length). Both of those have a fully enclosed hole on the fork crown tab though. The Berthoud had a curious feature

Thanks Bobby, Tim and Minh! It's going to be pretty sweet. And yes Loctite/nyloc will be used wherever applicable! :) On Tue, May 19, 2015 at 1:46 PM, Montclair BobbyB montclairbob...@gmail.com wrote: Glad you're OK, Tony... And if you're gonna build it, might as well do it RIGHT!!! Those

Re: [RBW] Re: Saluki on it's way back

Tony, Do you think the Nitto M-18 or Mark's Rack share this failure mode? rod -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

Re: [RBW] Re: Saluki on it's way back

Yes, there is little to go wrong with the M-12. No moving parts. It's the cheapest Nitto front rack, while it's also strong and lovely. It's a great option where it fits, and the Sackville Trunksack Small is a perfect match. Sorry to hear about your crash, Tony. Tim On Tue, May 19, 2015 at

[RBW] Re: Saluki on it's way back

I am glad to hear you survived the accident. I had something similar with a fully loaded porteur rack with Wald basket break at the springboard. I was lucky and stayed upright as my bike was like a plow. Then I saw a trick on the Riv site of putting a toe strap around the rack and the head

Re: [RBW] Re: Saluki on it's way back

Blakcloud - I've seen that toe strap idea on Riv's site as well and think it's a good one. The Berthoud rack was kind of like a Nitto R-14 but for the front so when it was no longer attached to the fork crown it naturally was able to swing down/forward. I'll not use one like that again.
