Re: [RBW] Reverse Levers with Linear-Pull Brakes?

I never owned a pair, but as I recall they had a dual pivot design that would accommodate both short- and long-reach brakes. I actually wrote Paul directly and asked whether he had any kicking around, or would consider making them again. The answer was "no" to both questions, so the used market

What's impressive about it is that it rides more or less the same in either condition - it's pretty neutral in either situation, which is quite appropriate! I also hadn't considered that it actually makes the bike more compact overall with the smaller front wheel, which is handy for city use.

Nice! I have a cable actuated BB7 on mine connected to a thumb shifter lever. It works pretty well but the thumb shifter I used isn’t the best. I think the ratchets they put in it are coarse enough that is doesn’t always hold as tight as we want. A hydro with a real brake lever would work better

Howdy folks. Selling a few items here. Mostly framesets w/ extras. The Trek was a bike intended for personal use but no go due to sizing. The "bi-plane + bullmoose" frame/fork/bar combos (Sekai Bigfoot & Bianchi proto-Grizzly) are an attempt to help a pal minimize his rather large vintage mount

Mine may be considered crush hats but they work for me. I do have a Filson waxed cotton brim hat but it’s too stiff for me so I rarely use it. I have also used Tilley hats quite a bit and do like them a lot but there are other cheaper hats that work as well for half the money. I love OR hats. T
