No motor! I just sold all my e-stuff..I don't need it as much since moving off that giant hill this year, and I needed to get back to "just riding" and get in better shape. I still like it and will probably have another ebike again, but not right now. -- You received this message because you

Very nice...and it looks so good without a motor  Also, nice you found a host for that bullmoose. I remember your saying the upward angle didn’t feel right on other bike with steeper HT angles. Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

Yep yep. It's not entirely logical - I have zip standover in trade for a 'slammed look' frame big enough to use not-drop-bars - but it fits better than just about any bike I've owned. I'm kind of amazed that my wild guess on what would work was so spot on. Nailed it! -- You received this

Looking fantastic. Great little detail with the copper rivets in the black saddle, color-wise. And didn't expect bullmoose bars on that frame; as mentioned above, that's neat to see! On Wednesday, September 19, 2018 at 5:35:35 PM UTC-7, Joe Bernard wrote: > > New pics! 105 road rear derailleur,

New pics! 105 road rear derailleur, RX100 (remember those?) triple front, Shimano 8-speed DT shifter on a de-SunRaced thumbie, Suntour DT for front, Brooks ti B17. The Woody Chop Chorts don't really make sense on a bike with fender clearance, but I like the minimalist vibe. Fun bike!

Sean, first report on Jack Brown's is they're just like Roly Polys: a little grainy (if that's a description of how a tire rides), but it feels fast. I wouldn't call them supple like the big 650B tires I'm used to these days, but that's not what a Roadini is about IMO. -- You received this

Thanks, Rich! Yeah, I'm really impressed with how well the Bullmoose looks and works on it. It was a total fluke that I tried them, I never would have set out to build a Roadini this way. Surprise! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

What a great looking bike. I'd love to hear how you feel about running it with the Jack Browns. I am in the market for some new rubber for my Bob Brown Road Bike and am torn between Compass 32's (whatever they are named) and the Jack Browns. I've been running the bike with an old pair of

Joe, your Roadini is a beauty. The bull moose bars give it a hip, urban flavor. Love it! Best, Rich in ATL Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 23, 2018, at 6:07 PM, Joe Bernard wrote: > > Mo pics. New Jack Browns mounted cuz the Compasses I had were too out of > round..too many days sitting flat

Mo pics. New Jack Browns mounted cuz the Compasses I had were too out of round..too many days sitting flat on the Pashley, I think. No front derailer at the moment and it may stay that way, I'm leaning towards running as a 1x8. A black saddle may go back on, that natural-finish B17 is pretty

A heads up which probably goes without saying, but someone mentioned the Boscos (which do look great on it): As Will notes in his handlebar roundup on the Blug, them Boscos don't work on a Roadini. Like not even close, not even if you by the larger frame. The Bullmoose does, and I think Billie

My friend has one of those Sams and that color is killer in the sunlight. I probably prefer the cream headtube if I had a choice, but will gladly take a solid one too. On Thursday, August 16, 2018 at 9:04:08 AM UTC-5, Joe Bernard wrote: > "Joe, nothing wrong with non-creamy head tubes. My
