Yes it does look like one of those bikes they don't make like they used to. Nice find! On Wednesday, October 18, 2017 at 9:22:19 PM UTC-5, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > Bob B asked whether I can fit on it. > > Yes, I definitely can. In the photo, the saddle height is set correctly > at 75.5cm.

Re: [RBW] Re: XO-1 frame for sale

and I would agree that the Rivendells (I have a 97 A/R) are better bikes. Certainly better cosmetically. I don't think functionally my 97 Riv is several magnitudes better than the X0-1. The X0-1 is a fine, no frills bike. I'm glad I bought it and I have no intention yet of flea baying it. It's

Re: [RBW] XO-1 frame for sale

And speaking of rust...I suspect there's a fair bit. and yeah, $950 is an optimistic price to say the least; especially for a frame. Hey they are great bikes, but it's a 24 years old frame. $200 and it might be a good foundation for a great rider On Sunday, October 15, 2017 at 4:21:29 PM

Re: [RBW] 10x200 mile challenge nearing the end

Well, very impressive And I have been quite worried about the news of the annual wildfire scourge in northern California; devastation sounds appalling and from what I hear , these fires were the worst . I hope California RBW ers stay safe. So thanks for updating us about that, Bill.

I do like the cream with darker colours so you get the contrast. But that silver one-colour looks really good On Wednesday, October 11, 2017 at 4:57:59 PM UTC-5, Joe Bernard wrote: > > I agree about the one-color treatment..I think the Cheviot Green on my > Clem L (and original Cheviot) looks

Re: [RBW] Re: Huge Rosco Mixte

You sure gotta love that packing job. Jenny and the rest of the crew do a beautiful job in that regard. Those bikes are coddled. No, they're swaddled BTW the seat lug looks like the one on my (custom) mixte. It looks really delicate doesn't it? You know, I really like that grey as a single

Agreed. I find since my accident last September, I've become even more conscientious about signalling , which of course, I did before but if I were honest I've had some lapses from time to time. Plus, if I can give a car a break, I will. BTW I've always extended my arm right or left and I

Sometimes people should just detach from their friggin devices and pay a little attention to the real world around them. On Tuesday, September 26, 2017 at 3:08:12 PM UTC-5, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > I've taken the opposite approach. I figure once the moron's adrenaline > settles from seeing
