[RBW] Re: Sam Bliss, my first Riv

Congrats on the new bike. Nice looking! Took my nephew to a workshop at the Apple store, used his ipad and when browsing the riv site the 51cm sam specials popped up again. But no dice when you tried to add it to the cart. Nelson muntz laugh In a sea of commuters on market street spotted a

Anybody out there in northern VT with a 58 or 62 Hunq that would let me give her a test ride? I'm btw sizes and would like to make sure the larger Hunq will do me well. Thanks, D. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group. To

Went for a wet foggy san francisco summer morning wee ride. Got up at 5am hit the donut shop for fresh maple crullers then head up San Bruno Mt. for coffee and donuts at the top. Mid-climb realized I forgot to visit the library drop and have a pannier full of books :DOH:. Was hoping the

[RBW] Cheviot compared to Sam Hillborne?

I was considering the 51cm Sam, especially the Web special. But you snooze you lose. How does the Cheviot compare? I wanted a Sam to replace a typical aluminum 105 equipped road bike, for fun rides short and long carrying at most light loads, going fastish. The role between my errand beater

My favorite things about GOOD cycling specific shorts/pants. Crotch doesn't easily snag the nose of my saddle. Less luck of the draw that there's a stitch/seam/etc that will cause discomfort after a few miles. Lastly, deeper pockets. On Tuesday, June 30, 2015 at 5:22:45 PM UTC-7, Patrick

[RBW] First thing I'm selling to fund a hillborne :p

Thought the list might find this humorously appropriate for a rivendell purchase. This thing's easy to get rid of, it's not too precious and not so fun at times. The things after this are going to hurt a bit more. My Kurt Kinetic Road Machine indoor trainer is on the chopping block. --

lol you're my favorite poster on here. I'm just trying to figure out the best set up to roll the dice on first. At $90 a pop handlebar+possible stem change, experimentation can get expensive. I feel the drop bars would be a safer choice for my tastes. But the sam I test rode and liked had

thanks for sharing your thoughts everyone. Just discovered the riv catalog, good reading in there. Wish I knew about it before my visit so I could've picked up a print version. On Thursday, June 18, 2015 at 9:41:00 PM UTC-7, Daniel D. wrote: Day Dreaming about how I would build up a sam
