Levanguy— That is a beautiful color!!! When I was dreaming of getting a Riv custom, that was the color I had in mind. I hope you enjoy your new ride and post pictures here. Roberta On Friday, May 31, 2024 at 3:46:47 PM UTC-4 leva...@gmail.com wrote: > [image: IMG_3027.jpeg]Rivendell should

Re: [RBW] Touch-up paint

John No, I don't think anything particular about the Nation of Japan directly influenced the shade of orange of the orange Rambouillet. Rambouillets got that paint job because they got that paint job. Orange Hillbornes got their different paint job because that's the paint job they got.

Hello, I am clearing out my parts bin. These would make nice components for the upcoming Sam builds. All the prices mentioned below are excluding shipping. We can finalize the shipping based on destination and USPS delivery. It's available in east bay, CA for pick up. Thanks for looking.

[RBW] Re: My new Wired Magazine article about fat, supple tires

It was about 2013-4, I felt like I was on the cutting edge of bike innovation as a 23 year old converting my Salsa Vaya from 700x35 to 650x48. I'll never forget that first commute from those panaracer pasela's to the compass (now rene herse) 48's. Magic carpet ride indeed! Joe, how would you

Doing one last bump here. Updated list with discounts below, lots of Rene Herse tires! All proceeds help fund my upcoming bikepacking trip across Armenia! (Unfortunately not on my Platypus ;) *Updates Below: *Pics Here.

Re: [RBW] New Bike Day - Lugged Susie

Of course I missed some actual fat slicks;) It's all good. The Kenda's seem great so far... I don't notice any road buzz, and they clearly have better traction than the Big Ben's I've been riding for the last couple years. On Friday, May 31, 2024 at 2:12:31 AM UTC-7 Eric Daume wrote: > 29 x

Re: [RBW] New Bike Day - Lugged Susie

Schlepping was no problem. It's surprisingly light to heft (granted, there was no rack or fenders at that point). It's looong, but it fit on BART fine. I expect to feel a little cramped the next time I'm on a crowded Caltrain (Monday...) and I have doubts as to whether it would fit gracefully

Re: [RBW] Paint Color matters! Your favorite?

My favorite is whatever that last iteration of the butterscotchy orange color was on the Sam release from a few years ago (2021?). 2nd would be good ‘ol Riv Blue (and I’m not even a big fan of the color blue, but I love it on Rivendells).On Jun 1, 2024, at 7:17 PM, Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!

Re: [RBW] Touch-up paint

Bill Would the Rambouillets being built in Japan have anything to do with the shade of orange??? The Waterford colors seem to be the colors they used for the Rivendell models they made. John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ On Friday, May 31, 2024 at 4:54:44 PM UTC-4 Bill Lindsay wrote: > Orange

[RBW] Re: My new Wired Magazine article about fat, supple tires

Joe, thanks for posting the link to your article. Well done! I currently have three bikes with tire widths, in ascending order, from 40 to 48mm. I also recently gifted a fourth bike to my daughter - a late 90s race bike I converted from 700c to 650b with 38mm RH slicks mounted beneath VO

Thanks Ted, Was definitely thinking about all the potential feedback--and wishing 603s became a thing so I could plug them into my older bikes. Thanks for the good words! Joe On Thursday, May 30, 2024 at 8:36:15 AM UTC-7 Ted Durant wrote: > On Wednesday, May 29, 2024 at 6:42:21 PM UTC-5 Joe Ray

Small world, I'm around the corner from the coffee shop in Highland Park. The Garfield water tower only last week became obscured by foliage from my front porch view to the right. I start many a ride with Stanton Avenue, over the heights, to Lawrenceville and onward. My orange Rambouillet is
