My steel bottles do get a bit scratched, although they get worse on the King
titanium cages I had already and put on the Bombadil. Especially when the
mud and grit gets between the bottle and the cage, so they do get scratched
quite a bit. However, I got the plain steel (not painted) KK bottles so
You are right that the KK's are loose in the cages. I've actually used the

Very cool trick about the socks! I guess that it means the bottles otherwise
fit quite loosely inside the Nitto cages, right? Aside from keeping the

I got these with my Ira Ryan frameset but after some thought I think they're

My apologies. Even my Waterford-built All-Rounder (the first one ever

I was giving some consideration to converting a 27" frame bicycle to
either a 700c or 650B size. Based on my e-mail conversations with Ed

Jim,
As it is snowing hard and I am one of 3 people in my building right now,

I think that all the early RBW frames made at Waterford were silver brazed 753
frames and 531 forks. 853 is thinner and stiffer feeling than 753. Having had
examples of both, I like 753 better. 853 frames (robot welded?) are avail
fairly cheaply from Taiwan manufacturers. 753 is a braze only m
I always associate 753 with lugged/brazed frames and 853 with TIG
frames. I would suspect that 753 is correct, but I've been wrong
before (once).

In rampant speculation mode, I would be really surprised if Riv ever

that they were using 753 early on in their US production mode. Chris,
you have any particular reasoning on this?

Michael,
You should definitely measure BB drop with a set of wheel on first.
Take a pair of 700c or 27" wheels and measure the drop.
I converted a Serotta CRT that had 80mm of BB drop (which means a
fairly low BB) to 650b, with a resultant 248mm BB height with 32mm
