Hi Lucas. I emailed you and sent a DM on Sunday. Just wanted to make sure you got it that I would appreciate photos and a price. Please let me know if you are having problems contacting me. best Chris On Saturday, June 24, 2017 at 12:07:26 PM UTC-4, Lucas Winzenburg wrote: > I have a p

[RBW] Re: seatpost/set back help

Been there and done that on a 26.8. Couldn't find anything to use and I use a Brooks saddle too. The Anatomicas do have longer rails but the saddles don't cut it for me. That said, if you are interested in buying one, contact me offline as I have several I could sell. On Monday, June 26, 20

Re: [RBW] Re: Breaking in a leather Brooks

I also agree with not resorting to all sorts of saddle torture to break in the Brooks. I cringe when I see the water or put it in an oven advice. Just ride the dang thing. The Pro is much thicker leather. I have a number of the Selects and like them knowing that they should last a good long ti

Re: [RBW] So many Rivs on the chopping block

Love the Allrounder! What size frame? Are the wheels 26"? I don't know if I've ever read that all the Riv Allrounders were 26" but I've assumed they were. On Wednesday, June 21, 2017 at 9:06:43 AM UTC-5, Addison wrote: > > I adore my Riv Allrounder and all of things I can do with it. And

Interesting. I used to visit her blog 3 or 4 times a week to check in on any new posts. After she moved to Ireland I slowly drifted away. I stopped reading coincidentally about the time she stopped writing. I wasn't aware of this development. Normally she has mentioned breaks such as vacations o

[RBW] Re: Giving up on my Cambium C17

I own a ton of Brooks leather saddles and really don't find the B17 hard to break in, per se. In fact, the shape is basically comfortable to me from the beginning. The Brooks Pro is extremely hard and can go a long time before any break in at all happens. I bought a used B17 off of eBay and I

I was watching with envy as someone won a like-new 55cm Appaloosa frameset for something like $800. I'm pretty sure the seller is a poster here. On Tuesday, June 13, 2017 at 9:08:54 PM UTC-5, Belopsky wrote: > > Sub $500! > > http://www.ebay.com/itm/2014-Rivendell-Cheviot-Size-60cm-INV-1093

Yeah - Sabot! Sorry I spelled that wrong. I actually have them on my Quickbeam and do like them. Very large platform. But as noted well about the $40 range. On Monday, June 12, 2017 at 1:22:36 PM UTC-4, Dave Small wrote: > > My feet are size 13, so I feel your pain. VO Sabot pedals are the
