[RBW] Bunch of San Marcos frames on eBay

I've got no connection to this seller, and haven't even heard of them before, but it looks like they're blowing out a bunch of San Marcos frames for between $763 and $785. Kind of weird, but a pretty good buy I suppose. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=soma&_osacat=382&_trksid=p2045573.m570.

[RBW] WTB: 57cm Bleriot frame/fork

Hi, all: Every once in awhile I catch the Rivendell fever again. My 57cm Bleriot was a perfect fit (and I loved the color) but I sold it to try some other bikes out. I think another Bleriot would complement the other rigs in my 650b arsenal nicely. If anyone knows of one, please drop me a line.

Actually, the way I read that segment, it's not entirely clear that D&D do all the stock frames. Pertinent to the discussion is the header of the segment - *Custom Paint FAQs*. I take it to mean that if you want a custom color, then stock frames go to D&D. I will be surprised if stock colors on

[RBW] Re: How are Rivbikes painted?

You are correct as it pertains to current models ( http://www.rivbike.com/kb_results.asp?ID=91 ). Rivendell has evolved their painting processes over the years, however, and some earlier frames were not painted as they are currently. Jim Cloud. On Aug 19, 12:00 pm, Joe Bernard wrote: > That was

I can't speak for Rivendells, but I've filled an older Carradice Nelson longflap with the hose and had nary a leak. I am curious if Riv bags are as watertight. (Just washed -- warm water and dish detergent -- a grubby Little Joe and the result was fabric that felt much lighter and more supple -- i

[RBW] Re: How are Rivbikes painted?

That was a long time ago. The OP asked how they're painted now. I don't know why you're telling people that painting of Rivendell frames is handled by the shops that build them. Grant specs them, unpacks them, and has his painters paint them. On Sunday, August 19, 2012 11:51:08 AM UTC-7, Jim Cl

[RBW] Re: How are Rivbikes painted?

Rivendell frames are sourced from various builders and countries of origin (US, Japan, Taiwan), in addition to the custom frames made specifically for a customer. I'm quite certain that these various sources have their own proprietary methods of painting and finishing the frames that they build.

[RBW] Nitto rear racks vs. Topeak racks with slide on trunk bag attachment tracks.

I use the Topeak system on my LHT commuter / utility bike and find it very convenient. I have a couple of the topeak accessories, and have managed to jury rig a few other things to work on the track system (like a waterproof plastic ammo box.) On my Rivs, however, it's all nitto and canvas and l

+1 to both. Nitto racks are great but if are happy with the racks and bags you have then stick with them. -sv On Aug 19, 2012 1:05 PM, "Jim Cloud" wrote: > Nitto racks are beautiful and sturdy. If, however, you're satisfied > with the Topeak rack you've been using, why change? > > Jim Cloud > T

So, being new to Riv-stylings, I was wondering if there is a reason to go Nitto on the racks on my Rivbike vs. the rack I have been using that has a track where the trunk bag slides on to securely connect to rack. It is very quick and easy on and off. Was wondering how you all secure things to
