[RBW] Mamachari, rider experience, ride quality, etc.

2022-11-01 Thread Matt Maceda
Hello! Does anyone have any experience with a "mamachari"? For anyone not 
knowing; Introducing the Mamachari 
.
A Bridgestone Wedgerock 27" popped up in my zone and I was wondering if 
anyone had any bike of this type in their collection. I like the idea of 
this tough, utilitarian bike, mostly designed to live outside in the 
elements. I'm not afraid of 27" wheels or the heavy weight. What's your 
take on the mamachari?

[RBW] Re: Craigslist (and others) Bikes For Sale: 3

2022-07-29 Thread Matt Maceda
Although not a Riv, I reckon there might be a little overlap of interest in 
this:

Soma Buena Vista 54cm - $1,200 (Oceanside)
https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/bik/d/oceanside-soma-buena-vista-54cm/7513472653.html

Looks like a nice price with lots of accessories. Somebody scoop it up!

Congrats! Any plans on changing the build or just ride as is? I do love a
turn-key used bike.
