Re: [RBW] RBW Seattle bike shops!

Nice, a lot votes for back Alley. I live in Ballard and I’m familiar a lot of the bike shops mentioned. I feel like most places just think it’s weird that I don’t want/have disc brakes. Back alley is a new one for me though! Anthony Childs > On Jun 24, 2019, at 7:53 PM, DarinM wrote: > >

Hey GE! Thanks for the update. I will keep looking. And hi again to you, Liz! Well, they did make the Hilsen in a 46, but stopped. Guess there aren’t enough of us shorties out there to keep them going. I do have a Cheviot that I’m going to put some drop bars on even though it’s made to be more

I wouldn't eliminate Rene Herse nobbies from consideration. They ride beautifully on tarmac and open up the rougher stuff at the same time. With abandon, Patrick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this

Re: [RBW] Re: ISO Homer Hilsen size 46

Rachel: I just measured my wife's 47 cm Atlantis. The TT actual lengh is over 51 cm, so it's likely the effective length is 52. She is 5'2" & has no room to spare in stand over. A couple of years ago, Rivendell found 2) 44cm Atlantis' they had forgotten about. Give them a call on that if

Re: [RBW] Re: ISO Homer Hilsen size 46

The effective top tube length of the 47cm Roadini is 51.5 - shorter than the 52 I see quoted for the Homer. Wheel size is 650B important for a small bike to use smaller wheels. Headtube is 71 deg. Seat tube is 72.5 deg. Chainstay is 45 deg. wheelbase is 1009.2mm. This bike was not mine - I am a

Re: [RBW] Re: ISO Homer Hilsen size 46

Hi again, Rachel, If you think that the 47 Saluki would be too big for you (and assuming that you are interested only in a road-bike set-up), then I don't think there's anything that Rivendell makes that would work. As far as I'm aware, the smallest effective-top-tube they've ever made in any

[RBW] Re: Recommendations for 650b tires in 42 to 45mm range?

All, THANK YOU for your suggestions! Most of the time my use is roughly 60% tarmac and 40% gravel. Hence more inclined toward T-Serve, Pasela, Fatty Rumpkin and Homage. If you happen to have the above tires mounted, would you mind measuring the width for me? Please... I already have a pile

I've got two of the* J* ones mentioned with the link by Mr. Grossman, above. They're just right - good quality, flawless/normal design,US made, fully functional. No reason to spend more or less. I 101% recommend these. Surprised more people haven't mentioned. Their other stuff is good too.

[RBW] Recommendations for 650b tires in 42 to 45mm range?

I find the Panaracer T-serve in 650bx42 to be a nice balance between durability and comfort. Not as supple as Rene Herse/Compass tired but way less stiff than, say, Schwalbe Marathon and the like. And pretty affordable. Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Hey Ash, Pasela 42mm are nice. there are some folding bead version. More on the tougher side. My favorite to ride that strikes a good balance between supple and tough are Grand Bois Hetres, I've ridden on some light gravel roads. -Phil Arlingon, VA On Monday, June 24, 2019 at 8:24:13 PM

Hi Rachel, Take a look at Laing Conley's post (lconley) from not too long ago for a 47cm Roadini. That wasn't what you were looking for, but it sounded like she might have other bikes around that size that might be looking for homes. (I have a 47cm Saluki, which was the smallest Rivendell
