[RBW] Riv BB memories

I have a few Edgevale shirts and pants and have found the fit to be loose but not baggy. Hopefully this batch holds to that. My Riv fit comment was based on the old RBW shirts - I would be a medium in those. As I have a couple of shirts on the way I hope that fit will hold up on these. If

[RBW] Chambray shirt deal alert

Edgevale has their chambray shirt from last year on close out for $34. I have been really happy with this shirt. The fabric is not pre-shrunk but a good wash and dry gets it to a perfect Riv fit - not fitted with room to move. At $89 they were a good deal. At $34 it is a crazy good deal.

Hi Joel, I also own both the Sackville and the Acorn bag. The Acorn can expand quite a bit aft from the pics and has an inner closure to keep the contents from spilling out. The shape and the side pockets are what makes the Acorn work better, for me at least. Shape has no thigh rub. Side

Re: [RBW] Yepp Mini on Rivendell experiences?

I had the Yepp Mini on my Bomba. Ended up going with Bosco bars to keep me from leaning into Alice. That worked out pretty well. I kept the Yepp mount as low as possible on the stem. Getting on the bike was mostly a swing leg over rear rack affair. Dan > On Mar 14, 2016, at 8:35 AM, Dave

Re: [RBW] Pass & Stow Porteur Rack Experiences.

HI David. I have a Pass & Stow on my Cheviot. I have used it with a Freight Porteur bag, front panniers, a Wald basket and combos of those. Keeping the load low helps with wheel flop. If I fill up the Porteur bag the front gets a mind of its own. The internal path for dyno wiring keeps things

Re: [RBW] Cheviot in betweener opinions?

I have a 55 Cheviot - 5' 9" and 84.5 pbh. I test rode the 55 and the 60 at RBW. The 60 did feel huge. I am pretty happy with the 55 set up with Albastache bars and a 7cm stem but Albatross bars and a slightly longer stem would be good as well. I prefer the slightly more aggressive riding

[RBW] FS: Soma San Marcos F/F/HS 54cm Tiburon Blue 650B still in box: $830 shipped

Re: [RBW] Albastashes on a Cheviot; advice sought!

Hi Liesl, I have a Cheviot with albastach bars. Traditional setup with road levers but stem shifters. The stem is a 7cm Tallux. I really like the setup. Comfortable and not as upright as the Bosco bars. There are other options out there for minimal drop mustache bars as well. Soma has one

Re: [RBW] Re: Best Riv frame for rear childseat?

I believe hat is a Pletscher seat. I talked to Keven about it but he did not think they sold it in the U.S. He got it as a demo from the distributer. It does work with the Clem rack. Dan On Aug 7, 2015, at 5:18 PM, carnerda...@bellsouth.net carnerda...@bellsouth.net wrote: Can anyone

Re: [RBW] Best Riv for rear child seat?

I used a front seat on the Bombadil with Bosco bars until we hit the weight limit for the seat. The front seat was great - I could talk to her easily while riding. For the rear I initially put a Racktime Tourit rack on the Bomba but getting my leg over the TT and keeping everything upright

Re: [RBW] Re: Cheviot ~ Is more than 1 bottle holder available?

Agreed on the second spot under the down tube and third behind the seat tube - at least on the larger sizes for the seat tube. Might as well take advantage of space afforded by those long chain stays. I'll be trying the twofish behind the seat and see how that goes. Dan On Aug 5, 2015,

Re: [RBW] stem for albastache help

With the albastache I am using a 7cm tallux - at first I thought it was crazy but went with the RBW recommendation. Works great. With albatross bars I usually use a 10cm. Dan On Jun 27, 2015, at 6:16 PM, drew drewbeckme...@gmail.com wrote: ok. going to take the albastache plunge. what
