Who knew so many were coming in! <BR/><BR/>Karl: definitely go with tubular steel. Alex Wetmore covers this topic in depth on his blog. Google "Alex Wetmore rack building."<BR/><BR/>The GB randonneur bars are being held on to for the time being and for a future project. I see them fairly often on eBay. I have a second pair I'm using on my cross bike, which I paid $15 for. Photos of that bike with its new bars forthcoming.<BR/><BR/>I paid about $75 CDN shipped 2-day express (from Japan) for those bars. A good deal!AHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03122792478866813896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243550404949512918.post-86955779398298255972008-11-03T17:49:00.000-05:002008-11-03T17:49:00.000-05:00http://www.cyclesgrandbois.com/SHOP/GB_PM.htmlhttp://www.cyclesgrandbois.com/SHOP/GB_PM.htmlmcscholthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864767071368448313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243550404949512918.post-19054458717594731592008-11-03T10:53:00.000-05:002008-11-03T10:53:00.000-05:00Don't be selfish! ;-) Tell us how / where you orde...Don't be selfish! ;-) Tell us how / where you ordered those GB bars and what they cost!Chris Kostmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05056622357667732064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243550404949512918.post-58471304524087568842008-11-02T16:53:00.000-05:002008-11-02T16:53:00.000-05:00What are you doing with the GB Randonneur bars?What are you doing with the GB Randonneur bars?mcscholthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06864767071368448313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243550404949512918.post-34203650476102930572008-11-01T16:52:00.000-04:002008-11-01T16:52:00.000-04:00off topic but was wondering if you know from your ...off topic but was wondering if you know from your framebuilding course what wall thickness and diameter steel tubing would make a nice rack.
