My two cents...I run Paul’s long V-brakes, with Cane Creek drop bar V-brake levers. I put on long salmon mountain bike pads and the braking is phenomenally powerful, but I have to deflate my tire to remove the wheels, as the pads don’t clear the fork. They work better than my hydraulic discs on

Why would it be blue under the red paint? Repaint? Or Do they do custom paint over stock paint when you order custom color? -- 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,

I don't know the story of how the bike came to Velocity but it's a respected shop in a pretty well to do area... They pass a couple gems through every year. The black frame is pretty forgiving, the photos don't show just how much abuse the bike has seen, I do know it wasn't rideable when it came

Nice initial review, Bill. I've been thinking about Albastaches since I started building my Sam up, but just can't commit to trying them. I have tried Soma mustache bars, but never could get along with those. On Friday, November 9, 2018 at 2:50:25 PM UTC-5, Bill Lindsay wrote: > As you know

You would be surprised what people give away or sell for cheap when it's a little dirty or rusty. Someone had a bike trainer for $90 on Craigslist. He was giving away the bike that he used with it. Bridgestone lugged steel touring bike IN MY SIZE. It was sold before I could get over there.
