Och, Erl! The bar-ed shifters for them would be brilliant! The poor dears often have difficulty getting the leverage to shift while keeping on the road/trail. Adding that to my list. Thanks!
Leah, the list isn't that long, surprisingly. Here's my stab at it: -- Something equivalent to a Trek 700 or 800 series mixte, or small standard frame (from the 80's and 90's usually). Around here they can be found in good condition (may need a tuneup) for $75-150. Just look for rust or obvious things wrong. Bring along a bike geek friend and if you don't have one, visit the local coffee shop early on a Saturday morning. Grin. -- Albatross bars fit any Mountain bike with a quill stem (smaller diameter than the modern whatever they're called stems). -- Your local shop can swap the bars and do a tune up and you're good to go. If it has index shifting, ask them if they can swap it for friction shifting instead (unless you like the headache of gears out of adjustment). -- Chances are it will come with tires that are great (a solid-ish middle ridge, knobby tire). Likely no reason to swap them. -- Enjoy! With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
