[RBW] Re: Rambouillet Serial #'s?

2016-08-15 Thread 'gpgunhou...@aol.com' via RBW Owners Bunch
I just found this site. FWIW, I have an Atlantis and a green Rambouillet 
purchased as frames new from Rivendell (October2006). The Rambouillet serial 
number is (RB 1100)

Cheers

Haha! As you know, Leslie, I just got one! So I thought I'd throw my stats in 
there.
In all the excitement leading up to getting the frame set I started reading the 
threads on Rambouillets.

2016-08-09 Thread Leslie
Ha!  This is the thread from six years ago where I started trying to fun 
the numbers on the serial number breaks between colors, trying to figure 
out how many of each color was made, what ended up on cyclofiend.com's Ram 
page.

My green Ram is RB1207, and has the mid-fork braze-ons; your number as 
RB1222 is even higher than mine, and is blue.  Yours totally breaks the 
pattern.   Neat.  

There has to be something special about it.   I mean, it's the 
highest-numbered Ram I know of, but it's blue instead of green.   I almost 
wonder if someone near the very end of the Ram line said, I want one, but 
in blue... 



Also, FWIW... my son's orange Ram is RB0944:  by range, it should've been a 
blue bike:  but, it IS a 66, so since it's really tall, it may have been 
handled differently for assembly/brazing...

2010-11-29 Thread Frederick, Steve
Thanks!  I got more compliments on the bike since I put on the white accents 
last spring than I have in all the years I've owned it.

The superflash mount--I just ran a brazeon/waterbottle screw though the hole 
for the screw that mounts the quick release mount to the seatpost clamp.  Hole 
was a little small but it's plastic so the bolt cut threads as I turned it in.  
It works okay but tends to rotate down over time...

Somehow or other I allowed myself to get drawn into this impossible
conversation!  Mine is also 2005, blue, purchased at retail, as a
whole bike -  RB 0716.

While were on #s we can't make sense of, my 62 cm bike weighs 24.5 lbs
with Honjo fenders and a Mark's mini rack, saddle and pedals..  I'm
guessing that's down toward the low end of avg. by a lb or two.

Mine is from the tail end of the run.  Knew it was because of the mid-
stay mounts on a green frame, but hadn't thought of wondering about
the serial number.

RB1207

http://www.flickr.com/photos/leslie_bright/5191794883/in/photostream/

Taken when it came out of the box the day I brought the frame home.
Had put it on layaway at just before Thanksgiving, a year ago.

I bought the frame from MSL, in Bristol, one of the RBW dealers.
Being a shop that has bikes, fly-fishing gear, camping gear, kayaks,
etc., it seems likely that the frame was made in late 2007, possibly
early 2008, shipped to them mid or late 2008, and wasn't until 2009
when I finally bit the bullet.

 Is yours an orange Rambouillet?  I sort of (not anywhere to verify right
 now) recall that there was a bit of a production gap between the first run
 (orange) and the first blue runs (separate printed flyer).  It wouldn't
 suprise me if they restarted the s/n's at RB1XXX with the new run.  But this
 is conjecture on my part.

 In other words, can anyone supply a low-numbered (under 1000) factory-blue
 Rambouillet serial number?

 Thanks for playing!

2010-11-20 Thread Leslie
Just trying to sort the ranges:

Orange at the beginning.
RB0453 is Nick's orange Ram.

 -1st Change- between 453 and 613

RB0613 is Jon's wife's blue Ram.
RB1017 is Steve's blue Ram.

 -2nd Change- between 1017 and 1120

RB1120 is Michael's green Ram.
RM1207 is my green Ram.

Last Ram was... ?   (At least 1207 of them, if the numbering was
indeed continuous.)

Any numbers between 453 and 613, and between 1017 and 1120, will help
narrow the color-changeovers (and any above 1207, for the total).

I wonder if the 693 frames includes the 432 that were sold as complete
bikes, or was the total number of frames more like the the sum of the
two? I assume the latter because Rob says he has #1163.

Whatever, the Ram was a wonderful and somewhat rare bike and I value
mine highly. It is one of the early ones - orange, serial number under
RB0200. I bought it used so I don't know when it was made. Maybe in
2002?

 Hi,
   Any rhyme or reason to Rambouillet serial numbers?  I was looking at
 one on ebay last night and noticed the ser. # was RB0280 (an older
 orange one).  I've got a later green  one (RB1163).  Did they just go
 in order or is there
  any method to the madness?

They were separate #s. Add them up to get the total. Interesting that most 
bikes were sold as frame sets only. I ride # 841 myself, and agree with your 
assessment. Mine was a complete bike, and I have tried it with a racier set up,
