[RBW] Re: PayPal now taxing goods & services transactions >$600

[Erik]

I'm pretty certain that this is a new requirement that takes effect on 
January 1, 2022.  It will result in PayPal, Venmo, etc. being required to 
issue 1099-K forms to anyone who sells in excess of $600 per year.  The old 
threshold was $20,000 and 200 transactions.  It's been lowered to $600 no 
matter the number of transactions.  PayPal is starting to inform customers 
now it seems.

Hi folks

Found a suitable stem I believe.  A local Rivendellian offered up a stem, I 
rode to his house, no shipping and a very nice visit too.  Thank you for 
the offers.

[RBW] Re: LF: Sam Hillborne & Rambouillet Decals

[Jeremy Till]

It looks like Rivendell has a page about repaints and decals, although it's 
not linked in their current website structure so it may be a work in 
progress?

https://www.rivbike.com/pages/repaints-repairs-re-brazeons

Unfortunately, it says that Rambouillet decals are no longer available. I 
also have a Rambouillet with less-than-perfect paint. Generally that kind 
of thing doesn't bother me so I'm not that worried about it, but I have 
thought it would be fun to get it repainted somewhere down the line.

It even has the 1972 Bottecchia listed!  Wow, Reed you are my hero! This is
