[RBW] Re: ROADINI

Tom, I did something I saw on a Riv shop roadini build: downtube for the front and bar-end for the rear. I love it, slightly de-clutters and makes sense to me. On Saturday, April 14, 2018 at 7:14:30 AM UTC-4, tc wrote: > > Bill, > This is a great build! > > How do you like the A23 rims, and

Very nice, Bill. Just curious are those HED Ardennes 10speed or 11 with a spacer to run the 10speed cassette? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email

DarinM asked if I'm going 1x entirely. No, I'm not. I still like the added versatility of a super compact double for many types of riding that I do. I'm in no hurry to convert any of my current doubles to 1x. I have three 1x bikes right now, and don't have any plans to convert any of my

Great looking bike Bill. We need pics of it in the dirt next! Could you post the full build list? I'm curious what goes into a sub 20lb Riv. Also any tricks you implemented in the build would be great too! Are you running the tires tubeless? -- You received this message because you are

[RBW] Re: ROADINI

Hi Kellie, I built up a 50cm one for myself (78 PBH). I echo lots of the comments here on how the bike rides and handles. Some specific experiences with the build for me: - The Nitto Noodle - Shimano BR-400 combo which many people go with didn't work for me. I preferred the shorter

Thank you for the kind words to all who approve of my new Legolas, and thank you for the discretion to all those who disapprove. This build started as a conceptual Rivendell Custom, but in my conversations with Mark and Grant, this is where that ended up. My intent was to build my favorite

I just stumbled on this video, and think many of you might enjoy it. Especially if you tend to geek out on history & manufacturing techniques like I do. Takeaways: I clearly need to find better a terminology than "bottom bracket" for describing the spindle/bearing/cup assembly or cartridge

[RBW] Re: ROADINI

Tim, speaking for myself, I like downtube shifters for a variety of reasons. I like the feel of skinny bars with no cables underneath (i use non aero levers as well), and as you say, the cockpit is simplified. The cables also end up shorter, and are running through little to no housing. I don't

Bill, This is a great build! How do you like the A23 rims, and did you get the offset rear? I'm considering these (although 32 holer) with 105 hubs. I saw an interesting video on youtube by a wheel builder talking about the A23 and advantage of the offset for the rear. I'm considering
