I do a fairly frequent, pitch dark commute using various bikes with the supernova e3, edelux 2, and iq x dynamo headlights. all are more than adequate for any speed I could achieve (all on flattish roads). the edelux is perhaps the best because of the width of its beam. all my lights are 2015

The link provided shows an All Rounder, which is not the same as the mountain bike. The mountain bike was going to use a fork crown that would look like a lugged unicrown, but the fork blade bends that were required proved to be to difficult. I have a Riv MTB made by Waterford, using the All

Leah, you should point The Clem Rider to any one of Danny MacAskill's videos. Arguably the most talented trick bike rider out there. He wears a helmet, so if The Clem Rider wants to be REALLY cool like Danny, he should wear a helmet! Heck, get him a helmet cam too! Of course, this may give

All this discussion around the GBW, plus my recent interest in older 26" wheel bikes (a lugged Trek 930 and now an Atlantis) reminded me of the mountain bike listed in the early Riv catalogs and Readers. In RR #3, Grant talks about the mountain bike, including a "D/M model" that that is

Thanks, Hugh, but looking for an older one, per subject line - Toyo or Waterford :-) You're right, though, if I were looking for the MIT Atlantis, the Joe might work if smaller sizes were in stock, since I'm looking for more standover than my 64 Toyo Atlantis. Tom On Sun, Mar 31, 2019 at 3:10

Are you looking for a new LWB Atlantis or an older one? If a LWB one will do, given the interchangeability of the LWB Atlantis and the Appaloosa, you could grab a 62 Joe from the web specials section of the Riv site and have a silver or blue Atlantis... On Sun, Mar 31, 2019 at 10:14 AM tc

Re: [RBW] Dynamo Lights

The Supernova Triple and the early E3 headlights were just round beams, not well suited for use in traffic. But starting around 2008 or so they began to offer the E3 in a "low beam" version. That's when I started importing them. The Triple is a fine headlight for riding single track. The original

Re: [RBW] Dynamo Lights

The only quibble I would have with the Supernova is that it has what I would call an “American” beam pattern, which is basically a cone of light that shines equally up, down, and side to side. All of the quality lights out of Europe (think Edeluxe) have a cutoff pattern that shines down on the

I suggest reading up on Peter White Cycles webpage. Supernovas have a good reputation. I don’t think the E3 is as old as the bike. There are not many dynamo tail lamps that are good for daytime compared to modern battery strobe lights. Strobe tail lights aren’t allowed in some countries in
