Hey All - Poked around with search and couldn't find anything. I am about to get my Sam. It's a 64 cm. I am getting the Dureme 40's. I wanted to get the hammered honjo fenders, but am now thinking that they won't fit. What do you guys think? Anyone have the same/similar setup on a Sam

Riv's measurements are C-T, so this would be the 63 cm. Let's say the difference between C-C and C-T were 1.5 cm. (That's just an estimate without actually looking at a frame). 63 cm C-T would become 61.5 cm C-C, which would be 24.2" after converting. So even if I'm wrong on the 1.5 cm part,

Yeah, all you need is a 135 mm axle and some spacers. I moved a 7 speed from a 130mm bike to a 135mm Riv too. You will need to redish the wheel a little unless you are starting from scratch. Easy. On Jun 27, 10:54 am, Rex Kerr rexk...@gmail.com wrote: After a nearly unbearable wait I'm

What's the top tube length on that? Some very tall frames from that era are not so long. I have a Centurion from about 1983 in my rafters that I remember as being a 62/56. I called it a hunchy frame. On Jun 28, 3:00 pm, William tapebu...@gmail.com wrote: One of you tall dudes can have the thrill

the Hugey Fuji probably qualifies as 'hunchy'. I think it's more like a 58cm c-t-c on the level top tube, but I'll measure. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To view this discussion on the web visit
