This just caught my eye on ebay.
Didn't know too much about it but probably should have done.

Funny, I just did a 'me and my bike' and mentioned RRS as one of my fave OS brands because of the tech.

With the force going through the BB, you have to wonder how secure it would have been.
Wouldn't it put added stress on the welds around that area as well?

You can just about make out the text in the ad:
The Cruisers in the museum are a bit nice as well :daumenhoch:

Isn't it mad the details that stick in your mind for thirty years!

Lovely cruiser, 24" Ambrosios are pretty rare!

Is there one of these in the UK?
