Bilenky would definitely be the best east cost spot I can think of... Maybe
have ss couplers added at the same time if that makes sense for you.
If your on more of a budget though talk to David at Groody Bros, their main
thing is powder coating (which I can vouch for) but they also do brazeons
Did you get the one listed in Yellow Springs, Ohio?
God I hope so, I've been eyeing that one for a while now.

I'll throw my hat in the ring as a DT shifter proponent. I have bikes with
both, and have never really felt any added security from the keeps your
hands on the bars aspect of bar end shifters. I find that I have a greater
tendency to nudge my bats slightly when shifing - especially with upshifts.
Yep, that's the one! It's set up a little more go-fasty than my original, but

Bilenky sounds like the perfect option. Thanks for the suggestions, everyone.

I think any time you are doing a repaint it is a great time to think about
braze ons. Mid-fork braze-ons are a super enhancement for any bike.
While you are at it, I will add that I really like fork tips that have a
braze on both on top and underneath. The underneath one you'll use for a

Wow! An original orange! Nice find!
As we've posted in the past, that paint job was complex, and uses some less
common colors and paints.
The only other thing to be aware of was that some 1st Gen Rams had a rear
brake bridge placement which was off, so you might need to be mindful of
Yes, Bilenky as you're in central PA. Franklin Frames is also great, but
in central Ohio around Newark . I had him repaint my Bombadil and add a

Fair enough, though I was mostly interested in folks experiences with the
similarly extra expensive stems. But then the stems are probably even more
subject to fetishizing charges since they don't even have the sometimes
useful huge setback of the posts to justify their existence. In any case
Thanks for the color reference! Very helpful.
I understand what you're saying about keeping the original orange. The frame
paint is not 100% original, though. The original owner had a small dent
repaired in the top tube, and the color match is slightly off. It takes the
right light to see

Have you tried the grease that’s recommended for carbon steerers? It has a bit
of grit in it to improve the grip of the parts. I’ve used it in the past on a
carbon steerer and a seatpost, and it worked as advertised.
Park makes such a product; there are others:
The Hetre has thicker tread than the Babyshoe Pass tire. I think 3.5 mm
versus 3 mm if I recall correctly. I had similar luck on my Hetres, no
flats in the 1st 2500 miles. Then 3 in a two week period . Then none since.
