Thanks Bill. Could you also expound on how the black mountain road (not plus) relates to the Roadini and Roadeo? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an

Ann, I'm not sure about maximum tire clearance, but I emailed the seller. He confirmed that his PBH is 79cm, so saddle should be around 69cm. From the pictures in the ad, it looks like you would have 4cm of room to drop the saddle a little, especially if you went away from a sprung saddle

[RBW] Re: New ROADEO

Thanks, Bill. So, what you're saying is ... the Rodeo is a race bike? Point driven home! Kidding aside, a couple of your points popped out to me, applying to any type of bike and riding: - Actual and perceived speeds are likely significantly different. Geometry, and tires, fool riders.

I wonder why. Certainly not a screaming deal, but it seems like a not unreasonable price for an unbuilt frameset. Would be custom today, so what do those go for? 3K +? On Saturday, January 11, 2020 at 12:06:03 PM UTC-5, MCT wrote: > > That Wilbury has been for sale for probably over a year or

[RBW] Re: New ROADEO

They are very different bikes and both excellent. The Roadeo is a very traditional, conventional, but mature road racing bike. I have no doubt in my mind that if we had a time machine and swapped Greg Lemond's Della Santa with a Roadeo, he would have have won the same races. If we gave

Re: [RBW] Re: Tires

You must be hard on tires! I agree that the Elk Pass is not the tire to choose for surfaces with large or sharp rocks, but IME, considerable, the sidewalls are better than those on the Pasela 559 X 32, which quickly degrade. On Fri, Jan 10, 2020 at 8:03 PM 'Tim' via RBW Owners Bunch <

Mark, it looks like the same seller also has a built 55cm Yves Gomez. Looking back in the RBW archives, I think the individual was once a member of the list (may still be?), as there was an individual in CT selling the same two bike/frames. That said, the Gomez falls in line with my recent

Hugh, Happy new year. Been busy but good. Would love to get out there for a ride. It's been a while. Free time has been dedicated to other projects of late. Picked up playing music again after almost a 20 year hiatus. It would be great to blow the dust of the old Rivs and get out there again.

I decided to go without fenders so I could use my Bon Jon Compass tires which I adore. I have Compass tires on my 650B as well. I'm using a medium Donut Sack bag in front and my medium Sackville in back which will help in the event of rain. Thanks for the great thoughts! A small dusting of snow

Re: [RBW] Re: Can we talk about long wheelbases?

I could certainly be wrong, but I don't think "getting bars up higher" is/was the only reason Rivendell leans in the direction of a bigger frame. >From my experience, riding bicycles that are the short side of "French Fit", most other factors being close to equal, there is more a feeling of

Hi Richard, Happy new year! Hope all is good with you and yours, doing good over here. Thanks for that easy math addition. 62 cm stack is up there for sure. Very few bike frames outside of maybe a Fargo get that kind of stack height sure there some others tho. Definitely and upside for
