Re: [Ext] [RBW] Re: New Riv Model - Newsletter

I owned a Homer between 2010 and 2013 or thereabouts. That was becoming my "serious" brevet bike, and I sold it to help do a full on no-holds-barred brevet bike build on a Rawland Stag (and that frameset has also moved along) I have never owned a Hunqapillar. I did own an Appaloosa for a

Maybe you're like me and you've cycled through some buying and selling, though you had a hunqapillar and a homer for some reason. Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 10, 2017, at 5:33 PM, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > dstein asked: > > "Bill - how many rivendell's do you own now?!?!

[RBW] Short Riv product review, gloves

These babies: https://www.rivbike.com/collections/clothing/products/thinny-riding-gloves-fake-leather-grey Look great, work great, the sizing description is spot on, I have small hands and bought the Large. They fit a bit loose (my preference), I could've gone Medium. I've never had any luck

Re: [Ext] [RBW] Re: New Riv Model - Newsletter

Dstein: I think arm length and style of riding matter much in this equation. I'm a little guy with short arms and everything I ride has the bars level or higher than the saddle; the last time I rode drops they we're almost comically jacked up, but it felt great. But - as you addressed - I'm not

Re: [Ext] [RBW] Re: New Riv Model - Newsletter

Bill - how many rivendell's do you own now?!?! Can I have a couple ;) I don't get the appeal of the upright mountain mixte. I guess it doesn't have to be upright, but they usually seem to be setup w/ albatross bars. To be honest though, I don't see the appeal of upright bars for anything other

[RBW] Re: Basket narrower than the Wald 137?

Thanks so much for the idea. I gave it a try myself this morning. Problem solved! I decided to clip off the extra metal and then did my best to wrap the ends around the top bar for a cleaner look. Took about an hour and a half, but I'm not great with pliers, so YMMV. -- You received this

The old song updated and fantasticized, Martin! Good work. The low horizontal tube makes it a "Laddie Lifter,"a term we've used --along 'lady lifter," depending--many times around here. Gotta love a Laddie Lifter. I also triangulates the BB area, reducing flex/fatigue there. Even without it,

Freddie Hoffman has ridden more than 1.5 million miles with an upright-swept back handlebar. In the '80s he averated 50,000 miles per year. We've covered him in the RR, he's been written up here and there...it can be done. On Friday, June 2, 2017 at 9:16:50 AM UTC-7, Peter Turskovitch wrote: >
