Frame size matters. On my size of a frame (64cm Rambouillet), the down tube bosses are simply too far away to be a reasonable option for the attraction of DT shift levers. I spiffed my NOS Simplex retrofriction set to my mechanic when building up my custom the other year after trying them on the mocked up rolling chassis. My undersquare top tube seemed to make it even worse.
I could have asked for my bosses to be applied as far up as possible but the lever set wasn’t an absolute and I wanted them to be perfect for housing stops if going to bar ends as the alternative. No gain for stem mount for me. Andy Cheatham Pittsburgh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
