The matte is really nice. Looks like it would be a really cool city ripper. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

The stem is an older Nitto- I think it's an MT-11. You can still get them with a 25.4 quill diamond. But this one is 22.2. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it,

What a truly unique and fun bike. I got to see a similar colored one at Riv HQ this weekend. That flat green may now be my favorite Riv color ever. Congrats on taking such a worthwhile leap. John On Friday, July 15, 2016 at 12:25:40 PM UTC-7, frank_a wrote: > > I picked up my Rosco this

Hey Frank, what stem is that? Looks sharp with the Boscos. On Friday, July 15, 2016 at 12:25:40 PM UTC-7, frank_a wrote: > > I picked up my Rosco this morning and got it built up in short order. I > used a mix of stuff I had around. I went with 58cm Bosco bars. The saddle > is a B72 and the

Wasn't the plan going to be that they are not going to be a homogenous batch of frames, because they are making them for a semi-hodgepodge of pre-existing forks? Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 17, 2016, at 8:25 AM, David Banzer wrote: > > Looking back at photos of the first

[RBW] Re: Rosco Bubbe #3

I believe the blue one I saw Grant riding has a Hunqa fork; #3 is smaller and uses a Sam fork (road brakes). Other than size and brakes, they look like the same design to me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe

[RBW] Re: Rosco Bubbe #3

Looking back at photos of the first prototype, it's a different bike than what materialized - the prototype had a much taller front end and used a cantilever-brake fork. David Chicago On Friday, July 15, 2016 at 2:47:51 PM UTC-5, Chris Lampe 2 wrote: > > I thought these were built around the

Nice!! My congratulations on your use of a sprung saddle!!! I use sprung saddles, too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

[RBW] Re: Rosco Bubbe #3

That's a clean looking bike. Love the matte finish. Do you have to deflate the tires to remove the 47 wheels??? You will enjoy that bike for sure. Jon >> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and

[RBW] Re: Rosco Bubbe #3

Agreed. The final Roscoe came out so much better looking than the illustration and even the prototype! It's actually up there among my favorite Riv's right now. All Roscoes are going to share the same head badge and decals, aren't they? On Saturday, July 16, 2016 at 12:33:59 PM UTC-5,

[RBW] Re: Rosco Bubbe #3

I think Grant puts lots of time, thought and effort into the name, decals, color, and head badge so it coherently matches the remaining physical properties of the bike. IMHO he really got it right on the Roscoe as he always does. That's something that differentiates Rivs from most everything in

[RBW] Re: Rosco Bubbe #3

The matte green really works on this bike, but then, I'm a fan of matte colors! I would love for RBW to do an RB version based on a Hunq/Bomba fork, with big clearance, cantilevers, sized for a mid-80's PBH and offered for pre-order at a good financial time for me. That's not too much to ask,

[RBW] Re: Rosco Bubbe #3

That thing is cool looking! The TIG / Riv ... who knew (?). I'm guessing that drilled crowns and bridges are less costly at the manufacturing level but that bike would look pretty sharp with canti's IMO. On Friday, July 15, 2016 at 10:03:31 PM UTC-4, Joe Bernard wrote: > > It's cool in a funky

[RBW] Re: Rosco Bubbe #3

There were/are Sam/Betty forks with 300mm+ steerers. Those are definitely taller than what was used on the first batch of Roscoes. David Chicago On Friday, July 15, 2016 at 2:47:51 PM UTC-5, Chris Lampe 2 wrote: > > I thought these were built around the tall Sam forks. > > On Friday, July 15,

I thought these were built around the tall Sam forks. On Friday, July 15, 2016 at 2:42:09 PM UTC-5, David Banzer wrote: > > Downtube shifters! Nice! > I'm really liking the matte green paint. I'm curious to see what Grant > comes up with for those taller Sam forks. > David > Chicago > > On

Downtube shifters! Nice! I'm really liking the matte green paint. I'm curious to see what Grant comes up with for those taller Sam forks. David Chicago On Friday, July 15, 2016 at 2:25:40 PM UTC-5, frank_a wrote: > > I picked up my Rosco this morning and got it built up in short order. I > used
