Oh neat, looking forward to hearing feedback on that setup. I would have probably gone the other way with some knobby tires and keeping the upright setup (upright for me is swept bars but I like them ~level with the saddle), but it all depends on what you've got available to ride on! -- You

OH yeah, you need more chain, if you ever accidentally shift to big/big you got troubles like you don't wanna see! If that's 9-speed I probably have an extra bit with quick-links I can mail you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

I suspect that you do need a longer chain. Like I said, I've been wrestling with this question as well, and call your attention to this thread (hoping that the link works, if not search the RBW-owners-bunch archives for "Cheviot setup" and and you should be OK)

Thanks, On the Riv website on the Appaloosa as opposed to some other models I saw no mention of needing a longer chain but I moved to the middle chain ring before before chain to another gear and just have the standard chain length. Suggestions? Should I add additional chain? David > On Mar

I just got home from the shop. They showed me one of the new orange Appaloosas that was being built up. The orange is ridiculously gorgeous! It's very slightly on the burnt orange side of the spectrum, particularly compared to the reddish-orange roadini that was hanging up nearby. I think

As of an hour ago, I have a brand new 54cm blue Appaloosa frame sitting in my apartment. It looks great. That orange is nice, but the blue is weirdly soothing to look at, so that's what I got. I'll post photos after I build it up. If anyone has any questions about these, let me know. On

I've only seen it on the Susie and it has more of a reddish rust look to me than on XO-1. But that's a solid-color bike, it may look different with white panels. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this
