There's a reference to the prices not being listed on each product page; something about not wanting the catalogue to become out of date too quickly. With the way models/sizes/colors shift around, may be they wanted people to stick with the website for current frame availability. Joe Bernard

Great topic, I love seeing what is on the project docket for all of you! As for my own list.. 1. Regular Maintenance - this my first year of daily riding, the Trek and Atlantis will both need some attention wrt hub maintenance and a couple other items. 2. Atlantis dial-in... I'm thrilled with

Hugh, Thanks for the compliment. It's not flat, it's gloss powder coat. I still might paint the head tube and lug cutouts ivory.  The green has a richness and peaceful quality that I like more every day. Green and brown, the colors of nature which seems appropriate for a touring bike, doncha

I posted a wtb for a 52cm Bomba a little bit ago but after further discussion I think a 56cm will fit me better. So if you're looking to thin the herd I'm your man looking 56cm Bomba and I think I'd love a Digatube, they've really been growing on me! Thanks! -- You received this message

Eric - I love my Digatube Hunqapillar - the bike is a marvel. I don't want to take anything away from the celebrated Atlantis, but you can do anything on a Hunqapillar, and I have to think that the Bomba will be the same. Bob (Indianapolis) On Wed, Oct 30, 2013 at 10:20 PM, Eric

Agree. Went through something similar myself this morning with my Atlantis and an attempt at a different crank set and got immediate clarity with a short phone call to Mark at Riv. On Wed, Oct 30, 2013 at 7:21 PM, Joe Bernard joerem...@gmail.com wrote: I would recommend calling/emailing RBW

I wonder if the Bomba can be configured with the diagatube how it's placed on the Hunq. Just the diagatube from the headtube to seatube and not behind the seatube to the stays. Anyone know if that can be an option? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Jim's institutional memory of Bridgestone, Grant, and Rivendell is not the best reason to enjoy time with him, as he's such an overall gem of a person, but its an attribute, for sure. Here's to our next adventure! Esteban On Tuesday, October 29, 2013 4:25:21 PM UTC-7, James Warren wrote:
