Sounds like they're great. Are these on their site now? I looked but didn't seem to find them. On Dec 20, 9:14 pm, Joan Oppel oppel...@verizon.net wrote: I had to share my thoughts on this since I like it so much.  I saw Grant's post about getting these in and that they'd be the last from this

[RBW] Re: Stolen Bleriot.

Oh man, I just saw this thread. Terrible. I think Manny's Bleriot, in the many ride and camping threads in which it starred, gave me more vicarious enjoyment than any other bike. Like all of us, I'll miss it. I once recovered a stolen bike by seeing it parked in front of a store (probably an

Here's a chart that may be helpful: http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw/geometry.html Out of curiosity, are you eyeing them at a bike shop that has both a 62 and 64 in stock? On Dec 16, 11:00 am, Kieran J kjo...@gmail.com wrote: Any 64cm Ram owners out there? I'm curious to know the standover height

[RBW] Re: updated geometry chart

There may be a misunderstanding here. I think you'll find stated on line 2 of Dave's chart that the number given for the 6 degree TT bikes is the theoretical length. The internet spreadsheet looks to me consistent with the previous pdf I downloaded and also from when I talked with Jay on the day

[RBW] Re: updated geometry chart

This is indeed one of those things about storing data on a website; it is so much more ephemeral than having a paper copy - and can be gone or changed at a keystroke. I applaud however much Rivendell can use their site as an archive for those of us who want to revisit 'obsolete' information, but

[RBW] Re: 11-27-11 - a set on Flickr

Yeah, that rings true for me as well. I lived about 20 years in Napa and 20 years in the Berkeley area, and I often think on how there just doesn't seem to be that thick, close fog with 30 yards visibility like when I was younger. I remember as a teen, I'd often drive by watching the tail lights

I'm not sure any one bag was called Baggins, but this one looks very similar to my Baggins Hoss. It's a bigg'n, alright. Jim has the capacities of these bags listed here: http://www.cyclofiend.com/Images/pdf/rbw_bag_capacities0507.pdf On Nov 25, 11:06 am, PATRICK MOORE bertin...@gmail.com wrote:

[RBW] Re: First Ride on New Saluki

Congratulations on getting back in the saddle, Peter. That stem should be just the thing while you dial in your position - and as your preferred position changes as you start to rack up the miles. I was mostly sidelined for 5 years. It's been over a year since I could ride any significant

[RBW] Re: WTB Bolt-On + High Flange Hubs

That's a good question which may not have a satisfying answer. A decade ago, Roger Durham would have set you up with some great Bullseye hubs. I have a couple of single speed hubs that have the skewer hole threaded for bolts, so you can change your mind any time you want. I imagine he's retired

[RBW] Re: GEO Charts

Oh, that wonderful, wonderful slack seat tube! On my two bespoke bikes, the only deviations I've had done from normal were to increasingly slacken the seat tube angle(and lengthen chainstay and top tube accordingly). 72 was better for me than 73, but it was 71 that really made things right. I've

[RBW] Re: Non-Aero brake levers for moustache bars

I've used DC 204, Tektro R200, and reverse pull levers with mousy ache bars. My favorite combo if the reach is shortish is the beefy R200 and riding primarily stretched out on the hoods. With a longish reach I like the reverse pull levers, so you can brake with your weight back and have that
