Michael, I don't have a F-15 but might be interested in the wheels. Could I get a picture? On Wednesday, February 7, 2018 at 8:40:29 PM UTC-8, allenmichael wrote: > > I just ordered one of the blue bar sacks before they were all gone. I sold > my rack though on this list awhile back. > >

I second the cargo bike and I think it would be a nice follow up to the tandem and would require long chain stays. Really it could be a modification of the Clem L with a built in rack for carrying two kids. Would love a disc Sam as well. -- You received this message because you are

I would love a cargo/family hauler. Something like a Yuba crossed with a Clem L. I have turned my Joe into a similar bike. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it,

A disc bike designed around 650B, maybe like the AHH and made in Taiwan. I would like one disc bike for the raining Pacific Northwest. I am considering the Black Mountain Cycles Road Plus. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

What would be the major advantage of a custom over a Rivendell? The only benefit I would see is if you wanted s bike that was different from Grant’s vision, perhaps a disc frame bike. Perhaps there is a perception a custom builder can truly design a unique bike for each individual body but I am

I also think the 650b Road Plus with disc brakes would be a lot of fun. I am considering building up one of those frames if I can find reasonable priced used parts. So probably four great options now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

Sorry to hear about your bike. Grant’s Blahg says there are several 65 Clem Hs left. You could call and ask. There is also a 62 Appaloosa complete on significant discount. Here's what we've got-- 65 CLEM H (normal style): 5 dark green frames. (Best for PBH 95+) -- You received this message

I believe the Roadini was intentionally designed without the rack mounts to discourage folks from loading up the bike. Grant stated that rack mounts encourage carrying loads and eventually this bike would end up like all his others. This bike Is meant to be a tripped down light bike. The Sam is

Plus 1 for Andy. I also have a Ram and love to ride it. I was told by Will it is a Roadini with more lugs. I just use a backpack on my commute and wait for a sunny day (I still need fenders). It is setup with light wheels and I don’t want to weigh it down. If I switched components with the Sam

I think a Canti-Sam would work better. The Roadini sounds great but it doesn’t have the room for fenders or the options with racks. The Sam is just a great all around bike that can go as a lightish bike or a heavier commuter. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the
