RE: [RBW] Re: Bombadil v. 2.0 and new Fatty Rumpkins
I just thought the Rohloff was a spectacular piece of machinery, and I wanted to try it. I had built up an Alfine 8 for my wife, which she likes, but I have to say, it doesn't compare to the Rohloff, which feels absolutely rock solid in any gear. So, more than a complete whim, but I guess at least in part to try something different.

Re: [RBW] Re: Bombadil v. 2.0 and new Fatty Rumpkins
Add me to the chorus - stunning. Have loved every one of the black Rivendell bikes I've seen. Great build-up with the Rolhoff. One of those is on my all time wish list. Not sure it will ever happen, though. Eric Platt St. Paul, MN On Mon, Mar 18, 2013 at 6:48 PM, Allingham II, Thomas J thomas.alling...@skadden.com wrote: Thanks to all for the generous comments.

RE: [RBW] Re: Bombadil v. 2.0 and new Fatty Rumpkins
I'm going to weigh it with full complement of bags - a Sackville Saddlesack Large in the front and a Medium in the front (in a large black Wald basket - it actually looks pretty good, and makes a good quickly removable bag (good for commuting, and taking clothes down to office shower)). I managed to find both bags in the very early run black canvas (because, you know... it's a BLACK bike). Guessing? It's pretty heavy - maybe 33 to 35 pounds? Rides like a champ, though - it doesn't feel heavy or sluggish at all.
