Hey everyone! I've brought these up in another thread, but thought I'd share again for the good of the group. Raber Gloves are made in Winnipeg...and the only reason I can find them as far south as Nebraska is that my favorite LBS gets in an order every winter. I have links to the gloves below

Thanks. No, no sharpie; perhaps a previous owner did? I haven't seen a name. This just in! Bar was originally 76 cm, I trimmed it 4 or 5 times, now it's 54 cm and almost narrow enough. But because of the bulge to 31.8, the levers can't move inward any further, and I like the grips. Narrow is Nice

According to the PDF catalog on their website, Rivendell uses "double stick tape" to put the headbadges on. Maybe some digging on 3M's website might turn up a good solution., Ben On Fri, Nov 13, 2020 at 4:40 PM Brian Witt wrote: > Hi allin my stable of bikes I have a Bob Jackson touring. A
