I think Rivendell uses what they refer to as "Silver" tubing in their current lineup of overseas manufactured frames. As far as I know this steel is possibly sourced from one or more manufacturers (True Temper?). Perfectly adequate I'm sure, but older US made frames were made with more common popular tube sets (likely Reynolds). Problem is one or more of these companies stopped producing steel tubes for bike frames.
Then their lug maker shut down. Someone could probably lend some more details, it's one of those things that I read and it barely registers so my recollection of it is not too good. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
