[RBW] Re: Saluki History + Provenance
I appreciate all of the great info about this great bike. I wonder if anyone knows where to find information about the naming. Was this a favorite dog of Grant's or did the name make reference to a literary dog? This could be another vein for names...Airedale, Springer, Retriever for a grocery bicycle? Thanks!

[RBW] black twine for winter project
Yes, I am a lurker, but I do have a Riv Saluki that I am hoping to do some twining on. Does anyone know of a source for the colored (especially black) hemp twine suitable for handlebars? By the way, after my last post about changing my wheels, I had some wonderful wheels and dynohub built by Jim at Hiawatha. I am thrilled with his work and wanted to give a shout out of thanks!

[RBW] Tail wagging the dog?
I am sorely tempted to buy the ultimate touring wheelset available from the Riv. web specials site. It would be used to convert 27" to the more readily available 700 wheels on an old Centurion Pro Tour. My dilema? Since I recently bought a (new to me) Saluki, I had planned on relogating the Centurion to a commuting / rain bike. The wheels with Phil hub and Schmidt Son 28 would be worth a lot more than the bike. Am I foolish? Thoughts and/or advise would be appreciated.
