[RBW] Bombadil v. 2.0 and new Fatty Rumpkins
I've been tinkering with a Rohloff build on my repainted Bombadil for a long time, trying to make an after-market eccentric bottom bracket work. It never came together satisfyingly, so I gave up and ordered a Rohloff chain tensioner. I built it up over the weekend - here it is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/8567470700/in/photostream. And here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/8567485276/in/photostream/ Those are the new Fatty Rumpkins, which ride really well - the toughness is not at much cost, in terms of ride quality. I'm really pleased with the build. In a 10 mile test ride yesterday, everything worked together seamlessly - except I haven't been able to shift into the lowest gear, meaning I have that unique 13 speed Rohloff. -- To ensure compliance with Treasury Department regulations, we advise you that, unless otherwise expressly indicated, any federal tax advice contained in this message was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding tax-related penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or applicable state or local tax law provisions or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any tax-related matters addressed herein.
