R&R CR-1 - updated (new forks, stem, and seat)
« on: March 09, 2013, 11:15 AM »
Been searching and searching for a few items now, the main thing is somehow to find a set of R&R FastForks, I also had a new seat for the bike a Schwinn sprung and finally I was given a mega-rare (as this is the only one) 1" clamp on stem.

The forks are beautiful and suit the bike so well, of course they do as they are R&R.  They could probably do with a rechrome, but I am not going to have it done, this is how they came, even with the rough, peeling decal.

As for the stem, it was made by one of my old team managers from bitd, he was a aerospace engineer before he retired and also built replacement sealed bearing hubs for Skyway mags.  He built this for his daughters mini BMX and gave it to me when I bumped into him last.

I hope you like the changes to the bike....
