Nice! Are those colored nipples brass or aluminum? How comfy is the saddle? The wheel snob in me immediately saw that the rear rim label is facing the "wrong" side! :) On Friday, October 23, 2015 at 12:45:29 PM UTC-7, El Sapo wrote: > > > > On Thursday, October 22, 2015 at 4:17:26 PM UTC-7,

They did not pull the fenders off. They are still on the bike. I pretty much hate the fenders. Every pebble, bit of gravel, grain of sand makes a very irritating noise. To date, the metal fenders on my 40 year old Raleigh Sports and the metal fenders on my Retrovelo are the only ones I have not

I am looking to sell my Rivendell Rambouillet. It is a very nice build with high quality parts. I built it up to be light and it's around 20lbs as it is. It could probably be lighter with some small component changes but I know no one here is that big of a weight weenie. But if you want a

No shit. Who on earth decided that was a good idea? I rode down a curb last night and the front fender scraped. Not cool. I'm taking them to Aaron's and getting them moved. I'll stick a Rat City Bike Shop sticker over the hole and be done with it. Note to self: GIVE UP on the metal fenders. I

I'll hazard a guess that most of us ride on leather saddles with rivets. For myself, I find them perfect for short and long rides, only problem is keeping them protected from soaking rain. - Andrew, Berkeley On Saturday, October 24, 2015 at 1:20:04 PM UTC-7, Daniel Jackson wrote: > > Anybody

Good luck! It seems like bait and switch to me! I don't know how they can say "here's your color choices" and then change it after they've got your money. And then surprise! the bike you unbox is nothing like the color you bought. I don't get it. On Saturday, October 24, 2015 at 9:49:02 PM
