Re: [RBW] R
Sorry, I meant to comment a while back, but I can only comment on my computer since Google "updated" on my phone I don't think the title of the video is particularly misleading (Youtube only gives you so much space). Regular's would know that two of Russ's bikes are A Riv. and a Bombora. That being the case I am sure he got asked nearly daily which he liked better and a video probably seemed like the appropriate response While it may be true they are different bikes in execution, they are similar in purpose. The Bombora isn't low trail, but it has a real stable ride that any Rivendell owner would feel right at home on. While it's not the same as a Sam, that's probably the Rivendell it is most similar to. People who like Riv's might be drawn (as I was) to Crust because they incorporate those elements that Grant doesn't Thru Axles, Threadless steer tubes, Disc brakes, Etc. Crust's are definitely a riff on the Rivendell esthetic, but they go on beyond that. the Evasion and the Scapegoat are clear examples. The Evasion is easily The single most versatile bike I've ever owned! it can be built up in so many different guises, with a variety of wheel diameter and/or widths. It will outlast virtually every other bike I own. I find that Russ's video's are typically not too informative to me personally, because he and I tend to buy/ride the same bikes, but I like to hear if his experience is similar to mine. He got a Polyvalent about the same time I did. He got his Sam after I'd been riding an Atlantis for some time He Got a Bombora after I'd been riding one. I think he mentioned having a Rawland at one time(?) and I still have one. (which IS Low trail) For a Semi-flat bar bike I prefer the lower trail and my Drakkar is the best I've ever ridden at carrying a front load. The two main issues that knocked the Rawland out as a "Rivendell substitute" for me is the substantial toe overlap and difficulty attaching a rear fender on a bike with rear facing horizontal Dropouts. I've had mine 10 years and it's fun to ride. The one area I really enjoy the Disc braked crusts is that they are so versatile. I have 3 Crusts and 2 of them have more than one wheel set. The Bombora has a set with semi-slicks and another with knobbies. the Scapegoat has a 27.5" X 3" set and the recently built 29" set. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
