No, I just wrote Grant „dark metallic cinnamon“, he said „trust us“ and sent it to Joe Bell. Got the bike and found it beautiful, just not the color I had asked for! Found out that cinnamon in America is much more red than in Europe where we have a brown cinnamon brand. Nevertheless I am quite

Re: [RBW] Mudflap quandry

I live in two worlds. Fancy Sackville mud flap up front and one made from found material in the back. While riding I found a stray conical reflector seen on traffic safety cones. From this you can make a reflector/flap that seems to work well. For full disclosure I did get the fancy flap for

I had very good results cutting a mud flap from a piece of rubber gasket material that I bought at the local Ace Hardware store. They had the material in a sort of rust red that IMHO looks much nicer than black. I made a template out of cardboard, adjusted for proper look and fit, then

I see that Riv has one of those fancy, left-coast-type gussied up,* pretty* mudflaps made from effete cotton and leather -- probably voted for Hillary -- for $18. Good shape, though (mudflap, not Hillary). OTOH, Riv has the Longboard rubber mudflap in decent, middle-American black rubber, for $8.

Ordinarily, I'd agree. In the case of Rivendell however, I've learned that the things that are out-of-stock are usually going to be back in-stock quite quickly, if you are patient.They seem to stock what they can afford to purchase and keep in inventory, but are committed to the validity
