[RBW] Re: Christmas Clementine
WOW! That's the best looking Clementine build I've seen so far & I've built two! LOL I went with the Big Ben tire due to the frame having mountain bikeish tire clearance; I was afraid narrower tires would look lost in the frame, but I guess with the fenders it helps fill out the extra space!? Those clay colored tires really make any bike look classy. I'll keep the Big Bens on mine though because I mostly use it for utilitarian duty and the additional volume helps in situations where I have to go over curbs & navigate pot hole while loaded. Lucky girl indeed! I hope she really uses it, whenever I've bought a girl a bike it's been a waste of money, because they mostly sit, but hope springs eternal! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Best looking Clementine shots I have seen so far. Normally, to my eyes, the shots on the RBW website make the Clementine model look pedestrian, like every curved tube framed hybrid/comfort bike you see in any corner shop. But these pics really show the high dollar Rivendell quality of the frame model and the parts hung on it, which I knew they had to be, but just was wondering why I never could see it in RBW pics. Nice touch on the big ring. I like those cool looking special rings. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
