[RBW] Re: Hunqabeam Quickapillar Frame Finished!

Jason asked about the hub. I’ll post details on the build, but its a Phil Wood Kiss Off hub, 135 spacing, fixed/fixed. Carla asked about gearing, cogs, and fenders. Fixed gear riding requires chain tensioning via horizontal dropouts (sliding the wheel horizontally to adjust the chain). A

Patrick your frame is stunning! Are you able to have more choices with your gearing on your fixed cogs by making these changes? You might have answered this question or is it easier for you to use fenders? Either way the colors are spectacular. -- You received this message because you are

Congrats Patrick! It looks great. And what a great job by the painter to achieve this from the quoted text. really impressive. sky in new west On Thursday, 12 April 2018 18:56:35 UTC-7, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > See it first here ... >

For those wishing to enter further nerdom, here is a link to reading the core 6 of Tokein's "Middle Earth" books chronologically! It bounces between The Silmarillion, The Unfinished Tales, The Hobbit, and the three LOTR books. http://www.chronology.org/tolkien/ Brilliant paint job! If I

Me too, Chris. I was shocked by the difference. It was in sunlight when my wife brought it home yesterday and I brought it in, but it was late afternoon, so the sun went down soon after. I was stunned to see how dark it looked. I had to wait till this morning to see if my eyes or brain were

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunqabeam Quickapillar Frame Finished!

Well worth reading. I find The Hobbit delightful, and have read it through many times. TLOTR is a children's tale that grew up and, to some extent, grew out of its genre clothing; it's essentially an ancient epic in the form of a fantasy novel, but (thank God!) written by someone with very deep

[RBW] Re: Hunqabeam Quickapillar Frame Finished!

Well done! looking forward to seeing future pics built up and out in the wild. Regarding LOTR... I'm a bit ashamed to admit I have not read the trilogy. I've read the Hobbit several times and always intended to complete the trilogy but simply never made it a priority for no particular

Very, very nice, Patrick! Really like the silver lug edge trim against that perfect gray/silver main color. I think you might just hover a few inches off the ground as you ride that steed. Tom > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

That's sharp. I don't like cream headtubes because they look too precious. But that mono paint with the lug outline is like jeans with a sport coat. I'm put this in my fantasy file. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To
