Jay, I'm the other Riv rider you rode with on the 7th and I plan on doing a full series as well this year. Are you riding the Fleche in April ? I've seen another Riv rider here in Greensboro but I have not met up with him yet... If you get a Riv Ride set up you can count on at least one from

Hey Glenn, I'd love to ride the Fleche, but I haven't been able to throw together a team amongst the usual suspects here. Are you riding? Do you know of a team that might be up for an additional rider? If so, feel free to pass along my email to them. And I'll let you know if I get enough

[RBW] Type of Glue for Head-Tube Badge

I bought one of the fancy Atlantis head-tube badges off of the RBW website (my original one got scraped-up during transport last fall). The website says to use a dab of Shoe Goo to glue it on. Those guys have attached way more head tube badged than the zero that I've done, but that sounds weird to

Don't be put off. As far as I can tell, Shoe Goo is basically the same clear glue that came in the Testor's tube I used to put together model airplanes as a kid. It's suitable for a wide range of uses beyond repairing shoes, and I'm sure it'll hold a headbadge just fine. On Mar 11, 9:09 am,

Hey Randy, Short answer -- any of RBW's offerings would be great for brevets. All the current models are easily fender-able and rack-able and comfy tire-able, and, of course, offer the famously svelte Riv ride, which, as Jim notes, is whatcha want for the long miles of a brevet. And David

That does look like a cool event. I bet a few folks rode cross bikes. But yeah, a Hilsen, or even a Rambouillet with 28s would be better for that than most of those bikes. I got the impression that some of the folks did not enjoy that ride. Nothing worse than walking your bike uphill in a road
