Evening Folks,

Beautiful Bike Mr. Sachs......I wish I had one!!!!

I like a little more housing/cable from the rear stop so the brakes don't drag when one is off the bike and pushing it around (and turning the front wheel to the left or right!!), e.g., Jazz, Blues and Art Shows (Saratoga (NY) tomorrow). Planning on riding my Bianchi Cross Bike (yea, it's outside the time frame for the CR, but it's the last of the lugged RC frames and it has Mafac Cantis!!) so I won't get ticked for DUI!!!!

Beautiful Bike Mr. Sachs......................
