Re: [RBW] Fixing sharp edges on B67 rivets
I've never done this, but if I did, I would try gently using a ball peen hammer on the edges of the rivets. That's pretty much how the rivets were formed in the first place.

[RBW] Re: FS: near-mint Atlantis frameset and 26 Mavic/chris king wheelset
Update: sale pending on the combo package. Sorry to those I haven't gotten back to, I've been busy. There have been a lot of responses and I'm dealing with folks in the order in which they replied.

I was hoping to turn these into a whole bike, but it wasn't meant to be. Here's the 411: - 56 cm Rivendell Atlantis, Waterford-built. Only blemishes are from previous owner fitting wheels (scratches at dropouts) and from me fitting a seatpost (*really* tiny nick in paint at seatpost clamp). Never been built up or ridden. Still packed as if it had come straight from Walnut Creek. Includes installed FSA headset and front/rear brake cable hangers. - 26 Mavic XC717 rims, 32 hole, black with ceramic coated side wall. Laced to silver Chris King classic hubs (135 mm rear spacing). Rims show signs of use and wear but true and in good condition. Hubs are particularly shiny. No skewers. $1600 for the frameset, $200 for the wheelset or $1750 for the package (shipped). Please contact me off-list for photos or additional info. I'll probably soon be selling some Rivvy-style parts and an almost-complete Rawland Stag (size Large) as well.

[RBW] Re: GrandBois tires on sale at Grandbois
Thanks for the heads up Michael, I received an invoice for a pr Shipping to the States is fairly reasonable ~$10. The note said that the tires are about 10% heavier than claimed thus the discount. I have been riding the regular Cerf's and Cypress and thought they're already pretty nice, especially if you paired them up with latex tubes, either Vittoria or Challenge. Can't wait to try the extra leger. I wonder if these work as tubeless?

[RBW] Re: Fixing sharp edges on B67 rivets
Ball peen hammer? These don't look like the hammered rivets on the B67 select. These are the regular steel rivets on a standard B67. I transfered my wife's saddle to my bike to see if I could feel what she felt, and she was right, I could feel the sharp edges of the rivets through my blue jeans.

[RBW] Re: GrandBois tires on sale at Grandbois
Sean, I can't make a direct comparison since I haven't owned tires of either brand in that exact size, but I can tell you that the new Compass Pass 42mm tires do surpass the ride quality of the Grand Bois version they set out to improve upon, so my guess is that the Compass will be superior when comparing the other sizes as well. But if the Grand Bois tires can be had for around half the price of a Compass with about 95% of the ride quality, sounds like a good choice to me!

[RBW] A bike for Mom
http://dr2dc.blogspot.com/2015/01/happy-mothers-day-birthday-christmas.html It took longer than it should have but my Riv inspired step thru lake cruiser is finally delivered. Building a bike up from pretty much nothing is a daunting task and it makes you appreciate well designed frames from Riv all the more for their relative ease in building up, modifying and of course riding! I think I ended up with a pretty good interpretation of a Riv Betty w/ a much more modest budget. The build highlights include; 1980's Schwinn World stepthru frame (powdercoated) 26 3/8 Wheelset, Dyno Front, 2 spd Rear, Schwable tires Steel fenders and Brooks Saddle from Raleigh 3 spd Wald Baskets front and rear Dyno Head and Tail lights Nitto/Brooks/Rivendell cockpit Velo Orange Crankset and Front Rack https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-M0nuVtlBCOw/VLvfzpeuepI/Geo/zxPproGyGAE/s1600/RAD_6459.jpg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: GrandBois tires on sale at Grandbois
Anton, I appreciate your response. Using pretty much the same logic as you - I decided to order a pair of the tires. The ordering process, unfortunately, is a bit complicated. Basically, after placing my order, I received a confirmation email from Grand Bois. If I understand things correctly, I will (at some point) receive a second email telling me what my final cost will be - specifically adding shipping charges (which were not given in my initial order) and subtracting Japanese sales tax. After receiving this information, I will be invited to finalize the transaction by paying with my Pay Pal account. The process does make me a bit nervous. However, it does seem that I can back out if the shipping charges are too high for my liking. The transaction is a bit complicated, but the deal is pretty darn good.
