[RBW] FS: Nitto MF-2 NIP Mark's Hub Area Rack with Hoop

Cross-post on ibob. Got this a while back from David B. I find I cannot use it and will use my existing Blackburn lowrider rack. In original packaging with Japanese air. Nitto Mark's Hub Area Rack with Hoop (MF2) – Rivendell Bicycle Works (rivbike.com)

[RBW] Re: WTB: 50cm Roadini

Thanks Joe. I'm leaning towards ordering a 53cm Roadeo. I think it's better than buying that Roadini for $2k just to remove all the parts and install the ones I'm sitting on. Looks like the geometry is really close between the 50cm Roadini and 53cm Roadeo too, although the headtube is shorter

[RBW] Re: New to the forum

I thought it was an all-rounder at first...but Joe's right, once I looked at the clearances; it's the Riv Mountain...that is a beauty! Thanks for posting and look after that bike. A white whale for sure. Tell us the story. Ryan Winnipeg,MB On Thursday, August 26, 2021 at 9:20:22 PM UTC-5

Re: [RBW] V-brakes needed or a recommendation

Thank you all, I ended up with the Deore Vs over the Alivo for one reason and one reason only, they have cartridge brake shoes so being able to upgrade shoes without needing to fiddle with any adjustments made it an easy choice. If they hadn’t been available I would have gone with the Alivos

I owned a Roadini and it's a very nice TIG-welded slightly stout road bike, certainly worth the $900-or-so they were going for as a frameset at last availability. BUT...a Roadeo is pretty much a custom handbuilt lightweight (for Riv) lugged frame that comes in production sizes and geometry. In

RBW recommended M730 for the Appaloosa they recently built for me. I have a 55 mm slick tires with SKS B65 fenders and the brakes clear fine in both front and back. They are also priced pretty well at ~$25 per wheel (RBW doesn't sell them as separate parts but you can easily find them on other

[RBW] Cycles Grand Bois Centerpulls vs Tektro R559

I am also enjoying the hot takes on both sides. Of note: I am not planning on converting to 650b wheels, so I would not be maxing out the reach of the R559 brake. Another thing I am bothered by with the Grand Bois brakes is mine need to be at the very shortest limit of their reach to meet my

I bought two of these, one in each color (tan and olive) hoping that they'd fit my size 8 head. No dice. They're lovely hats and I really like the vintage herringbone twill. They sold out quickly! They sold for $55 apiece plus shipping, and since they are brand new and unworn apart from trying
