[RBW] Re: ghost shifting and the clementine

I will certainly try tightening down the screws on my shifters. Since they gave me problems from day one, I didn't figure they were loose, but anything can happen, I guess. I cut my teeth on friction shifting, but only five cog freewheels. Then there was the hiatus when I was riding indexed

[RBW] Re: RIVEOPARDY

Joe, I did try to answer every question. The were some I did not know the answer to, so I made something up. I wrote the title of the category, and listed my answers in the same order as the questions (clues). I hope that is sufficient for the contest. I did not rewrite everything. In the

[RBW] Re: A Clemiversary, or, Lost and Found Again: A Clem's Journey

That's a great story, and an even better bicycle. So glad your Clem was recovered. I would be so upset if mine were to be stolen! The Clem really is a great bike, even if it is an 'entry level' Riv :) On Sunday, November 6, 2016 at 12:35:35 PM UTC-5, ian m wrote: > > Ian, currently dreaming

[RBW] Re: Rosco v.3

Wow, I really love that blue 58cm Rosco Road model. Everything about that bike just seems ideal to me. It looks like it would be great fun to ride around. Since it has a Quickbeam fork, I would build it up as a single speed. Just for fun. On Wednesday, October 26, 2016 at 6:56:30 PM

[RBW] Re: Silver 2 shifters

Well, I am done with downtube shifters. I have one bike with downtube shifters, and that's going to change when these SS2's become available. Even back in the day I was never all that enamored of them, and now I just can't even deal. If you love 'em, more power to ya, bro, but they are not
