I tried getting the woman to go in on the bike with me, but no go once she heard the price. Looks like I will just be looking at a Surly Big Dummy to haul her around LOL -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from

Re: [RBW] Re: Hubbuhubbuh tandem Pre-order is live

Blug says large size will fit up to 6'7" and I want it bad, but a little hesitant. I already have a tandem that doesn't fit me very well. This also needs to wait for our current house to sell before I can commit the money. Would be a shame to pass up if it does fit but life happens sometimes.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hubbuhubbuh tandem Pre-order is live

I've been on board since the first announcement. We've only been on a super cheapo rental tandem once but enjoyed it, although the stoker does not trust me one little bit, despite my very intentional attempts to ease her fears. She loves her Sam, though doesn't ride it a ton. t've hedged and

+1 Preorder. Wife and I have nil tandem experience but have always wanted one. Bike looks great in the photos and deal was too good to pass up. Hoping that orange is one of the final colors. On Wednesday, July 6, 2016 at 8:43:21 AM UTC-4, Julian wrote: > > The preorder for the Rivendell

Re: [RBW] Re: Hubbuhubbuh tandem Pre-order is live

Curious what kind of Santana you have,and is it set up with upright bars. I have been on the HHH list, but my circumstances have changed and I cannot afford one. I was lucky enough to pick up a Santana Vision, circa early 90s with 7speed bar ends and 26" wheels. I put on 2.1 Tioga powerblocks

Re: [RBW] Re: Hubbuhubbuh tandem Pre-order is live

This is such a tough call... I have a perfectly good $600 tandem collecting dust in the garage. It gets used maybe four times a year. And it's set up pretty nicely, seen here set up with Little Big Bens: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/23046471715/in/photostream/lightbox/ I really want

[RBW] Re: Hubbuhubbuh tandem Pre-order is live

I am thinking of it and I have another 30 hours to decide but what is holding me back is the added cost for living in Canada. With the exchange rate, shipping and sales tax, I get dinged for about $2600 for the basic frame. I have ridden tandems with my wife and we really enjoyed the

[RBW] Re: Hubbuhubbuh tandem Pre-order is live

Test rode one of the prototypes a couple of weeks ago. We had a tandem years ago so I have a bit of experience there. With the chubby rubber it floats over rough patches. I think Riv has hit another winner. All of those who've pined for a Rivendell tandem need to step up & vote with their

Re: [RBW] Re: Hubbuhubbuh tandem Pre-order is live

The captain definitely needs to be able to stand solidly with both feet on the ground. The stoker need not be able to straddle. If their legs are too short for the little ones, then you can get crank shorteners that will allow you to get an extra inch or two higher in terms of legs being able to

[RBW] Re: Hubbuhubbuh tandem Pre-order is live

I hope RBW can introduce a lot of people to the pleasures of riding a tandem. It looks like a fun bike to ride. The price is extraordinary, but as for me, I will stick with my filet braised custom Bilenky touring tandem and 26" wheels. The web site recommends hiring a pro to put it all

[RBW] Re: Hubbuhubbuh tandem Pre-order is live

Not that I have $1,600 in my art budget, but I would love to buy one, hang it on the wall and await he growth of my children. However, that standover on the smallest size is just about .5 to 1.0" too much for me to even possibly straddle, which, on a tandem, seems important. -- You received
