Looks great Tom! I've done a more 'economy build on my SimpleOne, but had some high quality bits from the parts bin. Front wheel in Suntour Superbe Pro hub to Mavic MA-40 rims. Great handbuilt wheel from 1986. Rear wheel is a newly built Dura Ace track hub to Open Sport rims. The crank is taken from a 1986 stumpjumper. I removed the inner chainring and bought a bash guard ring from http://www.bbgbashguard.com/superlights.html It's geared 36/16 now, but I may be tweaking that soon. It's low enough to get me up the hill on my homeward commute. I can spin comfortably at 17 MPH, and a bit faster for short distances. I'm not trying to race this thing! I had noodle bars, but they just weren't quite right, and have just switched to flat bars. Contrary to some notes on the RBW info, I like flat bars with a bar-end hand grip, but I don't have much distance on those bars yet. Beautiful zero degree CrMo bar from Nitto. I'm a tweaker, so things _will_ change. I enjoy it now! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
