Yeah, the white's pretty flashy. I think it pulls the bike together pretty well but I can definitely understand why it might not work for everyone... Steve -Original Message- From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bu...@googlegroups.com]on Behalf Of bpus...@aol.com

During the recent thread on the topic, I mentioned I'm having some work done on an old frame, and part of that is adding posts for Paul Racers. I'm having Chris Bishop here in Baltimore do the work. Here's the link to a set that shows some of the steps: http://tinyurl.com/ydeg9qo Marty -- You
