Hi, folks. I'm in a spring cleaning mode and want to lighten my overflowing parts bin for builds and bikes I have dreamed about but that have not materialized.
I'm super excited about Rivendell's low normal RD that's in development. I'm a huge fan of Rapid Rise and have exclusively run low normal RDs on my Hunqapillar for some time. They've always been great to set up, adjust, and maintain — in my experience, no better or worse than standard high normal RDs, and they index perfectly. Low normal shifting logic makes so much sense for my riding, with low gearing, heavy loads, and friction shifting, which I suspect is similar to the way so many on this forum ride. Alas, I have stockpiled too many Rapid Rise RDs, so I'm offering some here now, along with a few other parts. I’m looking to get what I put into the parts or slightly less — the important thing is for them to be actually used on bikes instead of sitting in storage. Prices do not include shipping. I accept Apple Pay/Cash, Venmo, and PayPal Friends and Family (with thanks to a fellow RBW list member for recently alerting me to the F&F payment process). I had trouble attaching photos here, but I had put a bunch of photos on Google Drive <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KZsMi-06GkpPqPL2Kcz9AtWoERMvfnaj> with file names that indicate what's what. Please send me a direct/private message by email if anything interests you. Thanks very much.
