Re: Re:

This is not practical, it holds the mud and braking is not terrible.
These brakes are like many mythical things (Ringlé, ...)

Well some consider them the next best brakes to the disc and far superior to the Cantilever brake.

Re:

Just read your post about your #75 and all the effort you put into making the perfect fork for that.

I'm very impressed by your collection, I'm "only" having the 99th. made Bow Ti in size small which has been giving me so much pleasure.

I´m also on the lookout for a Newsboy, either small or medium and do you have like an idea of what they're going for, I reckon the last one on Ebay was like exceptionally priced.

Cheers Jon
