[RBW] WTB: 26.0 Quill Stem for Ron's Ortho Bars

Does anyone have a spare/extra 26.0 clamp quill stem with decent reach (~90-110mm)? Preferably Nitto Tallux or Technomic. This is for a temporary bar set up with some Ron's Ortho Bars, so I don't necessarily want to buy a brand new stem. Thanks in advance! -- You received this message

[RBW] Re: Grant's new Big Clem

I think it was that alternate cable routing at the derailleur which gave it that extra "really good, great, best shifting". Hopefully this leads to many more huge bikes in the future. Would love to be in between sizes -Kai On Saturday, June 4, 2022 at 12:38:35 PM UTC-4 RichS wrote: > In

Echoing Keith with “bummer”, but I gotta say I can’t see any downsides to fillet brazing here. The steel tore alongside the fillet. The fact that it’s actually torn and not cracked there is as much proof as I’d need to have trust in the bronze union. That said, I’d love to see some closeups as

Re: [RBW] Re: Clem Smith Jr Update

Doug, you're likely already aware that there's different levels of loc-tite, but just make sure you use the less permanent option on those shifters of yours. Happy shifting! -Kai On Tuesday, May 31, 2022 at 9:38:46 AM UTC-4 Doug H. wrote: > I was just looking at shifters on the Rivendell

[RBW] Re: 65cm Clem Smith Jr Build / First ride

“6’1” on a 65 Clem Smith Jr?!”, is what I said to myself in disbelief 﫢, but seeing the photo wiped away my fears. To be overly technical, 65s only came in H, H as in the top tube was all the way there, and as someone on the upper end of the 6’s with a 65 Clem H, I feared for your abrupt stops…

Get the seller to drop it by a bikeshop, that worked for me on my recent bike score. Apparently there were people trying to work stuff out with the seller (in my case), but I was the one who said take my money first, and made it relatively easy for them... It's a win/win, and that Yves is a

I’m no moderator, but I've come to understand that selling on here necessitates that you participates in discussions outside your sale posts. Someone might be keeping score, but probably not. If your prices are good, I personally hope you get away with a lot of bending. Happy Rolling -Kai On

I could probably do next Wednesday. Alan, let me know if you need a wheelset for the new Chev. I have a fairly new Alex Adventurer 2 set with a Shimano dynamo up front and Deore on the rear. Currently just sitting in the closet. Handbuilt by Honey Wheels in Brooklyn. On Thursday, April 21
