No good for OS racing with those canti brakes    havent seen one of those for sale for a looooooong time

I had no idea that sort of tech was around at that time. I love it, it's mental

Yep, check out the 80/81 tech

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


Love an RRS me....

Camera angle, so yes, you are losing your mind LOL!

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
