Title: an old part added from btd RGD spinner
Post by: harris on August 21, 2012, 07:54 PM

Thanks to JAY bringing his newly found haro gen 1 with its RGD stem /spinner thought it about time i got mine back on
me and the original owner rode together back in the 80s on the odd time i hit custom riders.
mk12 was the first time the 2 bikes where back together in nearly 30 years,i was gob smacked when jay pulled it from the trailer.
mine has to have a new bottom plate but all works sweet.

i still have a rgd 2 into 1 gyro splitter thing and a custom riders freecoaster, the freecoaster was a steel suntour coaster brake modified and the flanges welded. those rgd spinners look nice, does the brake feel smooth wiyh it.
