Re: [RBW] Found at the Co-Op Tonight
Looks like Riv sold these about 15 years ago, according to an archived BOB list post. http://search.bikelist.org/beta/ViewMessage.aspx?id=57946 They probably found the last NOS stash somewhere and cleared it out, like they did with a lot of vintage Suntour. The early catalogs are full of historical gems, and are good clue sheets for bin-picking. On Thu, Nov 6, 2014 at 7:30 AM, WETH erlhous...@gmail.com wrote: Maybe the new to you Bombadil, Tony?

Re: [RBW] Found at the Co-Op Tonight
Tim, I noticed the same old link when I searched this morning. Funny, I was working on a bike for my Mom (I'll share pictures soon) and I needed a stem/handlebar to just test out my headset install... I looked up on the rack of 'quality' products at the co-op and the sweeet clamp nut jumped out at me about the same time as the moustache bar curve did. I installed it on the project bike and forgot completely about testing out the headset... such a cool looking stem. Anyway a quick phone call to our full time co-op employee who sets the prices and it was mine. More impulsive than most of my bike purhcases that are exhaustively researched and fretted over. For whatever reason I was sure I 'needed' it w/out even googling it. Erl the Bombadil (pickup this afternoon!) is going to get to try this stem on for sure. It is coming w/ a sweet Bullmoose cockpit already but I could see the new stem w/ Noodles as an alternative for sure.

[RBW] Found at the Co-Op Tonight
Nice! I had one from a yellow Fuji Extra-Heavy Road Racer. I used the Fujita Belt saddle for years, too. Rivendell sold through a cache of these a number of years ago, I believe.

Re: [RBW] Found at the Co-Op Tonight
This is a very cool stem, brutalist almost. The ones riv sold were higher rise than the older production ones. The riv ones came from a stash of rawish forgings that nitto found, riv requested them to have as much quill as possible. The riv ones might have had better polish but less interesting/clunky hardware. Or so says the absurd portion of my memory dedicated to possibly hopelessly mixed up random bike minutiae. I did not check the older readers/catalogs . Later Tarik Sent from the space egg...

[RBW] Found at the Co-Op Tonight
I found a sweet older style Nitto Forged Stem at the co-op tonight and had to share... I couldn't find many similar on google image or ebay searches but the guy who runs our co-op said that alot of older Fuji's had this style stock. It's in great condition and I love the 'arrow' shape on the top of the stem extension. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yNsCC95WP4c/VFrr8csLZxI/FzQ/n5QO-5OffbE/s1600/IMG_20141105_215844.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_7o-cym9cZY/VFrsExIhkuI/Fzc/NJWhJxYQJrI/s1600/IMG_20141105_215826.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-kx8ks3VKVjc/VFrsLrYQaaI/Fzk/MBAQYYXSwiY/s1600/IMG_20141105_221437.jpg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
