I rode tubes in my salad days, and a few years ago rebuilt some wheels and did the deja vu thing. They didn't compare with the the Grand Bois Cerf (29MM) on a pair of Open Pro 28/32 spoke wheels. At some point we need to sort out whether we are rebuilding an antique for show, or a classic to r

I keep toying with a contemporary tubular wheelset. By "contemporary" I mean the fattest road tubulars I can find. Challenge makes some that go above 27mm. Go for it! On Sunday, August 17, 2014 10:15:14 AM UTC-7, Jason Leach wrote: > > It is fun to think of build ideas. My thoughts were to t

It is fun to think of build ideas. My thoughts were to try out a classic inspired build with non aero brake levers and tubular tires. I have never ridden tubs before. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from

Oh, the possibilities! As a 70s stage racer surrogate but with Rivendell handling. Classic lightweight parts, no more than 16 theoretical gears, down tube shifters, light old fashion spoke wheels with supple 28 mm tires. You can simplify it by making it a gofast fixed gear. On Fri, Aug 15, 201
