[RBW] Cameras for Biking

I love Micro four thirds! Get the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 lens. I get so many compliments on my photos from it. Just like Rivendell bikes, on paper, looking at the technical specs only, micro four thirds cameras don’t seem that great. They’re not technically “the best.” But, when you get your hands

[RBW] FS- 53cm Atlantis with s couplers (26” wheels)

Bump! Seriously make a best price offer shipped. Just want this going to someone who will ride an uniquely perfect touring machine. All money for the sale of this bike will be repurposed to RBW. FFHS wheelset sale possible if someone has a full build of parts already in their possession.

Re: [RBW] In Praise of Road Bikes with Road Tires

Patrick your story reminds me of how my brother would recount all his training in the Air Force to work on F-16's and later on commercial jetliners. When asked how such and such "really works", there some point when all you can say is "it's PFM". Pure f'n magic. Beyond explanation and

Yea Mark like ye' ol' rabbit hole ... and the irresistible temptation to take a peek, "what's in the box ?"... and then you find yourself sucked in it. Until . well until you don't ! On Tuesday, June 9, 2020 at 6:38:54 AM UTC-4, Mark Roland wrote: > > Lots of variables to

[RBW] Re: In Praise of Road Bikes with Road Tires

Yes ...nothing to do with tires on this frame... I've had Specialized Armadillo(aptly maned as they were stiff !) tires on it way back and even then the ride was good. t seems starting with suitable tubing and design has more to do with the ride than simply wheels alone. I posted the geo and

Yes Philip .. sharp is a good word like a sharp .5mm mechanical pencil in contrast to a magic marker ! On Tuesday, June 9, 2020 at 1:23:29 AM UTC-4, Philip Williamson wrote: > > I’ve recently built up two bikes with road-sized (26mm-ish) tires, and I > love them. A Bontrager RoadLite

What are your 50mm tires Ted ? It seems pressure does play a large role in all this ! On Tuesday, June 9, 2020 at 12:52:31 AM UTC-4, ted wrote: > > Love my road bikes, also love my Bombadil. > > Logged lots of miles on ~21 or 22mm tubulars, was on 26mm tires today. > Yep, ride great.

[RBW] Re: In Praise of Road Bikes with Road Tires

Like you DP, a jittery ride, for lack of an all encompassing term, just doesn't work for me either. That's likely why I've preferred road riding so much as I've never had a suitable frame or maybe tires for that matter for my local not-so-maintained township "roads". I'm going to try out some

You rode a Susie too at RBWHQ, yes ? Was it at least somewhat vertically compliant, springy, flexy ... you know there's a million names for it I suppose ! On Monday, June 8, 2020 at 7:21:47 PM UTC-4, Joe Bernard wrote: > > I had a Roadini for a while with 33mm Jack Brown's, and a Seven ti

[RBW] Re: In Praise of Road Bikes with Road Tires

Lots of variables to consider--frame geometries and tubing/layups, tire width, construction, pressures; rider style and weight; terrain and road conditions; position of the planets, and so on. I like wide mostly these days, but getting on some skinny rubber is fun, and it's about the

Patrick, The kickstand is a Defary removable kickstand (so technically not a "kickstand"), about $18 on Amazon. I'm not sure this will work because the only way to get to it was through my history:

Re: [RBW] Next Level Clementine

Leah, I will never tire of looking at this lovely bike. Remember when you put on the B68 saddle and were concerned that it would not look right with your bike of 50 shades of blue? Well, I thought it always looked nice. But now, having the reddish brown saddle and hub shiner mid-bike,

Thanks, the HG500 looks like a good option at about $6 per 10 sp cog. I'm near to buying -- something. Report at 10. On Mon, Jun 8, 2020 at 5:17 PM Bill Lindsay wrote: > I did a little bit of internet research since Patrick Moore sometimes > struggles with this. I also put my hands on some of
