And if you want another color, you can just get it. (I did - got a dark
navy metallic blue that i like to think of as blackberry). I was going to
have to wait for the Waterford 64 anyways, so i decided to pay a little
extra.

Hi Eli,
I'm going to try and get my hands on a wheel box from my LBS this weekend. I'm
thinking I'll be able to sort of fold the tires up in there with them. It
should make for the most economical shipping option. What's your zip code so I
can get a proper quote?

Awful lot of trouble? I've seen desperate people break into parked cars to
steal loose change off the floor.
I agree it doesn't seem right for someone to take advantage of RBW's low
(below cost) introductory poster price and flip for profit, but it's a free
market out there - which the good fol
The listing claims package unopened. Who orders a poster for 20 bucks, then
turns it around for maybe a $30 profit sight unseen? That seems like an
awful lot of trouble for 30 bucks.

Hey, man- "shop victoriously" as the eBay TV ads used to say.
Those who can't be bothered to do a little research will end up paying more
than they need to for things. I see current items go for more than retail

Has Riv ever actually offered that? Seems unlikely. Hmmmn, would require

This makes me want a Quickbeam (or Bombadill, or Hunqa) even harder.

Several years ago I snagged a small tree clipping which got sucked into my
front fender. The fender (plastic) collapsed into the fork crown and I went
over the bars. Knocked my head, helmets are helpful, but relevant to this,
I bent both fork blades and deformed the top and down tubes slightly.
The flip side for me is the local club (with a bunch of great people mind
you) that go out for 20 - 50 mile rides depending on the weekly/monthly
schedule on their website and proceed to stop, regroup, stop regroup, stop
and eat, regroup, eat some more, etc. It's not that that isn't an
