Silvers on the insides, retro-beauties on the outside.  I hope Riv stocks them as well


I'm going to have to count how many Suntour Sprints I have and decide if it's time to stock up again, because these things are slick!

Those are nice in case I run out. I have one extra Simplex Retro's and one Suntour Sprints in reserve.

They would look nice as bar ends too.

my word, those ARE pretty. Wonder if they can be adapted to bar end
use?

I just received a VO order today, too.  I wish I had waited.  I would have added a set of these.

Speaking of my VO order, here's what I got. 

A silver 1-1/8" headset spacer, shaped and threaded to take the Crane bell I bought from Rivendell, installed on my Rawland:

and....a pair of Tektro CR720s, which now means I have in hand, 100% of the build kit I would need to build a 58cm Atlantis.  All I need is the frameset.  It's all just sitting here....taunting me.
