Light-feeling, quick-handling but not squirrelly (I presume that's geometry, not ti related), with a bizarre sense of picking up road irregularities that disappear into the bike before reaching the bars and saddle. Which I realize doesn't make sense as words on a screen, but it sure is fun in

That's a very good point, Max. I'm a recovering alcoholic and the buying/fiddling really isn't any more expensive than THAT stupid hobby was. And much healthier! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this

Yes, my fiddlin'-to-riding ratio is absurd to the point of indefensible. I had a long chat with the fellow I bought the Seven from who's in the same boat; he said he thinks us bikey folks go through phases of being into it for the bikes and the mechanics of them, then sway back to using

Hehe, I'd love to snag a Roadeo if I stumbled on a good "it's the dead of winter" deal, but realistically the Seven covers all the 'go-fast bike' riding I'll ever do. The plan right now is to stop buying/fiddling with/selling bikes and actually RIDE the ones I have more. There's a thought,

Let's call it $700 shipped, that's probably closer to reality for a nice but not NIB frame. It's also closer to the insane price that one on EBay went for, sheesh! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this
