[RBW] WTB: Threadless Bosco Moose and Stoker Stem
Hi All, Proud new owner of a Riv tandem and looking for 2 parts to make it even better. Completely aware that this is a very looong shot. 1. Threadless version of a Bosco Moose bar 2. That moose-esque stem that came with the first run of tandems that was made by Nitto. PM if anyone wants to part with theirs. thanks!

[RBW] FS 2016 57 Waterford AHH
Hi, all. I just posted my Homer on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/303242630753 Changing circumstances force the sale. I'm not regularly receiving posts from the group, but wanted to let the group know what happened. Back in January, my wife passed from heart failure. I've healed since then, but have a new direction in my life that does not include bicycles, at least not for now. Instead, I'm simplifying things and will be doing more travel, hopefully some international later this year. I returned this week from a trip to New York that was a lot of fun. I've already sold my Atlantis to a local via Craigslist. With the higher value of the Homer, I chose the eBay route instead for a broader US audience. I'll be shipping it via BikeFlights with packing by Montlake in Seattle. That's the brief version. You can follow up with a direct reply if you want to know more. Thanks everyone for the education I have received here. Cheers! Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

For sure, BMC is different, that was a bad example, but I was more thinking of what you could buy new instead. In any case, I prefer canti/v-brakes, I like the ride of the lighter tubed bikes I have, and I think the Legolas looks cool. So if the Riv genie asked what I wanted I would chose that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Which Rivendell frame would you resurrect?
I have all three of those. The Black Mountain Monster Cross is very different from the Legolas and very different from the Atlantis. The Black Mountain Monster Cross is a drop-bar rigid 29er mountain bike, in my view The Legolas is a cyclocross racing bike in my view The Atlantis is a 650b road-to-touring bike Any of the three can be (and are) ridden on road rides that wander onto trails and they are all delightful and I have no urge to get rid of any of the three. I use the Black Mountain Monster Cross on some off-road sections that I would be reluctant to take the Legolas on. I use the Atlantis on some off-road sections that I would be reluctant to take the Legolas on. I use the Atlantis for every day road commuting and never use the Legolas or the Black Mountain Monster Cross, because the Atlantis is just so pleasant when I'm not in an aggro mindset. If your rides have a "racer attitude", then a racing bike like the Legolas may be more rewarding. I generally grab the Legolas when I have my heart rate monitor on, my racy kit, and I'm planning to hammer balls-out for 90 minutes. That's what the Legolas is built for. It's fun for other things as well. It's a great bike. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA On Friday, August 2, 2019 at 12:24:17 PM UTC-7, S wrote: > > Yeah, I am drifting off the point of the thread.

Yeah, I am drifting off the point of the thread. To be clear, I would be more than happy if Riv brought back the Legolas exactly as it was.

[RBW] Re: Which Rivendell frame would you resurrect?
I had a canti post Sam Hillborne with 650b before the gravel thing really took off...it was a great bike and would do what you seem to want. I kinda wish I never sold it. The Legolas is a really nice cyclocross frame that you can actually race, so tire clearance would be an issue...plus it's going to be 700c to comply with race requirements. I'd like a Legolas (make it disc and I'd like it even more. lol) I remember reading maybe on this board that the Legolas was like the Roadeo but with canti posts...but I'm sure there are some geometry differences going on being one is a cyclocross frame and one is a road frame.

[RBW] Re: Which Rivendell frame would you resurrect?
Understood. That bike you are describing would be really appealing, but it's most certainly not a Legolas. There are a number of vendors who will sell you a 27.5 x 2.2" road bike, so you can run Thunder Burts or 48mm Rene Herse tires. Rivendell has the 650B Atlantis, which I own and absolutely adore, and I have the Thunder Burts on-hand to put onto it soon . I perceive no penalties for it being "overbuilt". It's not uncomfortable for being stiff, becuase it has huge cushy tires. It doesn't push back on my legs when I pedal it, like the planing folks insist, at least not to the extent that I can notice it. It's a couple pounds heavier than a hypothetical 'dream Rivendell' frame. Trust me I get the appeal of a 27.5x2.2" road bike. I want one. I was in Santa Barbara earlier this week and tried to schedule an appointment to visit Stinner Frameworks, because I wanted to check out the Refugio. That thing looks really fun to ride.
