Leif, Good eye! They're just regular cork grips, but dipped in amber shellac on both ends, then clear shellacked over the entire thing. It was an easy way to spruce up the cheaper presto-log type cork grips. David River Grove, IL On Sunday, December 4, 2016 at 10:03:28 PM UTC-6, Leif Eckstrom wro

[RBW] Albastache on what frame?

So I've had an itch to build up an Albastache'd bike. Might be silly to build up a bike only to have another handlebar option, but I'm ok with that. My goal is to find an older mtb as a winter project and build it up with Albastache bars. Assuming the bars work out for me, I'd like to swap thing

Offering $10/$15 prices for another week or so. 130 bcd 40t triplizer stock is very low. I might have a few more packed up but I don't think I do, so this might be last call on these. David River Grove, IL Original message: Offering list members a special price on remaining Willow chainrings.

[RBW] 29er/700c Studded Tire Options for Clem.

I'll shortly have my VO Campeur set up with ~40mm studded tires, but am thinking of setting up large Clem with larger studded tires as well. Any recommendations? Considering removing fenders but anything around 50mm would mean I could keep them on. David in snowy Chicago, not quite ready for a sn

[RBW] Re: Who makes Canvas Panniers now?

For weatherproofing, the rolltop closure is probably your best bet if you're aiming to keep water/elements out. I don't think there's production panniers in waxed canvas right now. Ironweed makes canvas bags, but not waxed. You could wax them yourself of course! IMO, Swift makes the best design

I stand corrected - the Frost River bags are waxed canvas. On Tuesday, December 20, 2016 at 2:56:48 PM UTC-6, David Banzer wrote: > > For weatherproofing, the rolltop closure is probably your best bet if > you're aiming to keep water/elements out. > I don't think there&#x
