I had (recently sold) a Sam of the same generation as yours, I believe, as it was the same shade of green, non-canti and non-contrasting headtube paint, and it was a 60cm with DTT On Fri, Jul 7, 2017 at 11:19 AM, Aaron Schmidt wrote: > Hmmm, interesting. I'm pretty sure

[RBW] WTB a stem, and geometry question

1. WTB or trade for a black clamp on stem sturdy enough for light off road use (ie, road models welcome if well designed and well made), and preferably a Ritchey to match my headset and (to eventually be installed) seatpost. 1 1/8" clamp on +/- 10 degrees 26.0 or 25.4 Black Ritchey Road model OK

[RBW] No More Blue Sams ... But Some Oranges left

FYI - I talked to Rich yesterday, and he told me they have no more blue Sams (I guess despite what Riv's website says). Orange frames are in stock though, as well as completes (both drop and choco). Rich said there may be some Sage and/or Black Sams in stock in the Nov/Dec timeframe.

looks a lot like my Riv road but mine is a Curt Goodrich 2001 and doesn't have the cream wings or cut-out oval on the fork crown . That's a nice price for a nice bike if the fit's good. The harvest gold is really quite handsome On Friday, July 7, 2017 at 11:53:03 AM UTC-5, Jim M. wrote: > >

When you order your Legolas you will spec your tire clearance within reason. If you need something so wide that it's no longer a Legolas at all, you will be ordering a full custom. I think multiple folks have bought a Legolas for 45's. -- You received this message because you are subscribed

My experience concurs with Jim's - we both have/had 1st-gen Legolai, and BG RnR's just won't clear the (classic pinch point!) chainstays. I'm currently running (RBW-sourced) Continental CrossRide 700x42's - which are just at the limits but have served well on local fireroads in both wet and dry

Re: [RBW] Warm weather bike clothing, long sleeved

I know this may be an unpopular opinion here, but I like the long sleeved shirts offered by major outdoor brands. Yeah, they are synthetic, but they do the job, and are lightweight. Great for bringing on a bike tour, since they dry fast and can be crammed in your clothing bag without worry of

Nice mention of Uniqlo! The stuff is cheap, but not terribly cheaply made..I've worn their stuff for quite some time. My favorite is the airism line - theres also the heattech line for when it's colder. Maybe I'll grab a Uniqlo button down as I need some underwear too... I've worn oxford
