I think I've got a pretty nice Nitto S65 Crystal Fellow in 27.2 somewhere around here I'd offer up for $30, if you're interested. However, you should get a two bolter and never look back. The S83 is as perfect seatpost as has ever been, or if you love mega super layback in beautiful steel, the

lambbo, seat post is Velo Orange Grand Cru. It's good - only possible downside is that you can't slam it if you really need to because of the bend. On Wednesday, July 18, 2018 at 8:41:22 AM UTC-5, lambbo wrote: > > Hey, what's the seat post you're using? My 'UNO' post is just so hideous > I'm

Thanks for the kind words all. SeanMac, re the Ottolock, huge thumbs up. It's light, it's easy, and I like a combination lock so I don't have to carry around a key. I'm sure the lock is breakable, but it deters the unplanned theft. That's all I'm after anyway. I don't think people want to

Deacon, the Albastache bars changed the bike for me. I started with albatross bars. and I just felt too upright. I can't explain why. Maybe naturally bad posture? Leaning forward a bit feels better for sure. On Tuesday, July 10, 2018 at 2:59:09 PM UTC-5, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > Well, the

Hey Joe, thanks for the kind words. The zip ties are for the taillight. Maybe there's a more elegant way to run the wire? I couldn't figure it out. On Tuesday, July 10, 2018 at 5:58:09 PM UTC-5, Joe Bernard wrote: > > I love the matchy matchy - and super envious of the Riv Special Bar Tender >

Stunning and so functional too! Exceptionally well done. Deacon asked about the Albastache bars. I'm curious as well. Thank you for sharing the photos:-) - Rich On Tuesday, July 10, 2018 at 1:57:08 PM UTC-4, Jim S. wrote: > > As I enjoy looking at others' photos, I attached photos of my Cheviot

Looking great! Did you design the patina on the bell somehow or did it come with that stripe down the middle? Makes me want to try albastachhe on my 55cm cheviot -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this

Very cool pictures, Jim. Thanks for sharing them with the group. I've got a grey Cheviot in my stable that I love riding. It functions mainly as my bike-trail and grocery store bike. Do you like the Ottolock? I've been thinking about getting one for my Cheviot - though I had not

JIm I think the Cheviot is one of the most striking bikes made. You have certainly kicked yours up a notch. The most notable thing to me is how comfortable the Cheviot is... You can ride it all day long and still not want to get off the saddle. Nice build! Jon -- You received this message
