The pictures of the complete Hillborne look great. I think Grant did really really well with this one. I wonder what color green it'll be. British racing green would be cool. I purchased a complete Rambouillet in 2007, an AHH in 2008, and already I'm scheming to pick up one of these in 2009. I'm out of control. It would certainly round out my bike collection and I pretty much have all the parts for it except wheels lying around since I converted my Surly CC to a singlespeed with Albatross bars. We'll see what happens. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

They have pictures of the prototype built up on the site. I have to say I have become a fan of the unpainted look of some of the frames they have been doing lately.

The seatstay bridge only has a horizontal hole for mounting the brake. The chainstay bridge fender contact point is the lip of the quickstand plate (er, "kickstand", actually, but now that I typed it, I really like the phrase "quickstand"...) which has a hole, but it is not threaded. There is no special hole in the fork crown other than the brake mount hole. In my haste to rig up a set of SKS's last winter, I just removed the Silver brakes and used the stock hardware. This year, when it morphs out of C. Xavier Hisen mode, I'm probably going to get a set of Sheldon Nuts to simplify the mount process. On the chainstay plate, I just used a round head bolt and a nylon lock nut. Didn't budge. Remember, the Hilsen is set up for center mounted brakes, while the Hillborne is rigged for canti's. Also, for the crown, I think the daruma-style crown bolt is the only way to seat a fender without using the bracket. - Jim -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Current Classics Bicycle Photo Gallery - http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc Cross Bike Photo Gallery - http://www.cyclofiend.com/cx Single Speed Garage Photo Gallery - http://www.cyclofiend.com/ssg Working Bikes & Practical Hardware - http://www.cyclofiend.com/working Work Shops of the iBob's - http://www.cyclofiend.com/shop Send In Your Photos! - Here's how: http://www.cyclofiend.com/guidelines "That which is overdesigned, too highly specific, anticipates outcome; the anticipation of outcome guarantees, if not failure, the absence of grace."

Aren't the mounts behind the fork for a rack, like a big Nitto front rack? That's all I can think they are for. The threaded fender mount on the back is great. I don't think my AHH has it. Yesterday I got the Nitto Albatross bars I ordered for my Surly. It's totally snowing here in Portland, which isn't entirely odd but not entirely normal either, so I'm working on the Surly. Who knows, maybe I'll get to noodle around in the snow today.
