I have a set of Dyads laced to Mavic MR-601 hubs wit matching skewers. Low miles. Maybe $375 shipped if you want them? They have some older cream 42s tires on there that I would include with the sale. On Friday, April 23, 2021 at 1:51:53 PM UTC-4 Brendan Willard in SF wrote: > Still in need. W

Joe, my PBH is 84.5cm, I’m 6’0” tall. It does feel a little long but nothing I could adjust with a different stem and bra. Currently have 80mm technomix stem with 56cm steel Albatross bars ... reach is a little long with baby in the seat, UT feels good without the baby seat. I’ll adjust a littl

How tall are you? I saw that prototype baby-bike-don't-carry-a-baby-on-it in the RBW shop a couple months ago and thought it was a cool stretch cruiser as is. I'm curious how the reach works. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group

Everyone who said, “the derailleur clamp size is 31.8mm, it’s a double butted seat tube so your caliper measurement was wrong because it was too high on the tube” ... you were right! 34.9 mm to 31.8 mm shim from the local bike store and then we were in action! This is more than just a baby bike,

Success! Got a nice wheelset from Joe Bunik and nearly finished with the quick and dirty build up of the Rosco Baby for a first ride this morning. I was missing two parts: - 1 x 650b / 27.5" tube - should've bought at Riv! I only had one on hand yesterday as I assembled the bike. - Cr

Real world review, perfect! However, I’m hoping for a wheel set that can take up to 60mm tires. I think we’re gonna run this thing pretty plush and wide. I’m now in touch with a couple members about their Alex wheelsets trying to sort out prices and details. But I’m still hoping that something e

Hi Justin, Byways could be very nice, but I'll have to take a raincheck as several of the not-quite-ideal offers I've got so far include tires and I'm still not settled on a wheelset. So far the offers have all been: (1) are a little narrow of a rim (like AMAC above, though he's my backup plan

Those might work well, though I understand the Alex DM18 has an internal width of 18.4mm which is a bit on the narrow side for this project, but workable. I'll switch over to email from here. Please keep the options coming - I'll post here if these work out. Take care, Abe On Monday, December
