Albatross bars are spoken for, but the tires and the bags/rack are still up for grabs! Also still looking for the backabike bag... Collin in Smokeramento On Sunday, September 11, 2022 at 12:10:32 PM UTC-6 Collin A wrote: > Hey Folks, > > My wife is going through some adjustments on her homer,

Re: [RBW] Re: Club Rides On A Racing Platypus

No, I have to admit I never made a convert. I got admiring comments (beautiful bike! How old is that?) and sometimes an old guy would start telling me about his bikes back in the day. But never a request to ride or request for info. I think the Ram also just wasn’t quite odd enough. On

I bought the saddle and shifters from Huston and I just wanted to drop a note here. His pacing job was the BEST packing job of used gear that I have ever received (bike or guitar). Fully reccommend him for transactions. Thanks Huston! Ben On Thursday, September 8, 2022 at 6:33:06 AM UTC-7

Give the BMX racing world a look. There are some "unique" ultralite options out there still despite the change over to disk. On Sunday, September 11, 2022 at 2:21:59 PM UTC-4 Joe Bernard wrote: > Huh. I don't know if I need tapered carbon fiber return springs but it's > cool! > > On Sunday,

Hey Folks, My wife is going through some adjustments on her homer, and now we've got some spare parts! We are open for a trade for a backabike bag in olive or forest green if you've got one lying around... Photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/fq8pdK8MorGTXYNN7 Nitto Hub Area Rack with Sackville

I got my shipping invoice, so maybe it's coming? I have the parts all set out for it, though I'm still dithering on the handlebar. Eric On Sun, Sep 11, 2022 at 12:52 PM Leah Peterson wrote: > Has anyone gotten and built up a Rosco Platy yet? I’m so excited to see > one. Riv said in this week’s

[RBW] Ultralight V-brake option

I was looking at Fern Cycles' gallery to see what type of brake levers they usually pair with their V-brake-equipped bikes and discovered a few builds with these particular brakes. They're around the same price as Paul but with their

Re: [RBW] Re: Bosco vs. Boscomoose

Thank You for that input. I rode 22 miles yesterday with the Boscomoose. The angle of the grip area just felt wrong. I tried it at different heights to no avail. Swapped in the Bosco 550 with 130 FacePlater. Fussed with the height & angle a bit & just finished a beautiful 30 mile ride. Not only

Re: [RBW] Re: Rosco Platy!

Has anyone gotten and built up a Rosco Platy yet? I’m so excited to see one. Riv said in this week’s newsletter that they have begun shipping. Or maybe folks are picking them up from HQ. Hope so! L > On Sep 1, 2022, at 7:25 PM, Joe Bernard wrote: > > Bo on the waiting. I got my custom

[RBW] Re: Advantages of front loading

When it comes to front load whether be a Riv or not, placement to the headtube or hub are key. Even with a basket and high trail, placement matters relative to how high stacked above or below the top tube. Then is that load close to the headtube or not. My best practice no matter the trail is

Re: [RBW] Re: Bosco vs. Boscomoose

I have both Bosco and BoscoMoose bars on my Rivs, for me, the fixed angle on the moose becomes transparent after a few rides. Something to consider, Blue Lug sells a threadless moose stem that exactly fits the 100mm sleeve on a Bosco. You would need a threadless quill adapter, it's a nice

Re: [RBW] Spray can shellac in a pinch

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen spray shellac, but that’s good to know it exists and can work in certain applications. I imagine it would be trickier with drop bars! I’ve had my best results using those little 1.5” foam applicator brushes with the chisel tip. > On Sep 11, 2022, at 6:59 AM, Jay

[RBW] Spray can shellac in a pinch

Hi all: I stopped in my local hardware store today to purchase some items for the house and some shellac for my cotton tape on my Loscos. The tape was holding up, but dirtied and faded as I had not shellaced it when I taped the bars last year. The staff were busy with other customers, and
