I was of the understanding this had more to do with Waterford's comfort level, than Riv's. I know that there was some concern about low rider mounts being added to Boulder forks which use the light fork blades. On Monday, December 21, 2015 at 2:32:41 PM UTC-5, Justin August wrote: > > I thought

I brazed canti posts onto the seatstays of my Hilsen and replaced the fork with a surplus canti fork from a Hillborne. No problems so far... Even thinking about unbrazing them a rebrazing them 19mm lower to convert my 700c Hilsen to a 650b for use with the new 48mm compass tires. 'twould fit

Re: [RBW] Re: Ch-ch-ch-changes... in 2016

Funny. I asked a few years ago to get a Hilsen with Paul Racer braze-ons and Riv refused due to the tubes not being stout enough. I ended up buying a used Saluki instead and one day will get those braze ones added. -J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

That seems very odd to me, given how many substantially lighter rando bikes are out there with Racers on them. On Mon, Dec 21, 2015 at 10:08 AM, Justin August wrote: > Funny. I asked a few years ago to get a Hilsen with Paul Racer braze-ons > and Riv refused due to the

A few years ago there was a very funny post here by a good Bay Area customer who owned a few Rivendells and went to Walnut Creek to buy their latest design. (I think) Vince told him he had enough bikes and sent him home. Wouldn't sell it to him. Priceless. On Friday, December 18, 2015

On an AHH I think that would need to be racer, racerm would be for a rodeo no? I've fit a fender and 32 tires under RacerMs on a custom. Maybe others would want to go larger, but I would be happy with that on a Hilsen. Anyway, not sure there are plans to do RacerM braze on for the Rodeo. On

If brazing on posts I gues you can put them as low as you want, so Might look a bit odd though. Anyway I was just thinking of what the design reach for bolt on brakes is for those models -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I'm a fortunate bloke with a AHH and a Rambler and love them both. Considering my different builds and the things already mentioned, they are quite different for me. Chris Johnson Sanger, Texas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"
