After putting the Lambert brakes on the Ross I asked myself why didn't I put them on the Lambert? Either I wasn't thinking or I was caught up in the whole anodized orange color scheme and if you don't know me by now, I really like Orange. Maybe I have been conditioned like Pavlov's Dog so that when ever I see orange I think of riding and I get excited.
I really like how Orange and Blue look together so I mounted the brakes on the Ross and put the wheels to make sure they have contact with the rims and they do. Now I just have to figure out whether I can use AVID FR-5 levers with side pulls or do I have to use something else. Going to hit the LBS today for lunch to get these answers. The other alternative is to switch bars and use either Gary Bars or Mustache Bars that I have in my box of tricks but I would rather stay with the Moose Bars because they fit in the steering tube and I don't have to buy another stem.
Putting the Lambert brakes on the Death Fork now makes the bike seem more like a Lambert. Everything on the bike was customed and hand built and the brakes bring it back to hit's hay day of cycling.
