Hello good folk of RBW Owners Bunch. After lurking on this thread for a while, I can officially identify myself as a member! I have had several of Grant's Bridgestones come through my stable including a CB-1 (the first frame I built up from scratch), a slightly too large RB-1, and most recently a 1985 MB-1, the first iteration of the line with a magnificently long wheelbase. I assumed it would be a long time until I would have the budget for a Rivendell, and after pining for so long, I was presented a chance to purchase a Toyo Homer frame in my area for an unbelievable price. Next thing I knew, I was jaw agape, sitting in my living room staring at the AHH build I had just completed. I took it on a short 30 mile ride around town and it was everything I had hoped for. Nimble, dependable, and just so comfortable. I can't wait to take it on longer brevets!
With darker winter hours approaching, I am searching for a solid 650b rim brake dynamo wheel! Please let me know if you have one laying around or one you are willing to sell.
James from Richmond, VA
