If I had a space like some of y’all, I’d never see the outside world again.

Well…except to restock coffee, chocolate, whiskey and cigars.

[RBW] FS: Fabio's Chest (effectively new)

[Jim S.]

So this is a large Fabio's Chest saddle bag or handlebar bag . I bought it, 
and never mounted it on a bike. It's been in my basement on a shelf. 

I don't believe he called it "Fabio's Chest" when I bought it. If it was 
called that, it doesn't say it on the bag, (which I think might be better 
than having a bag that says "Fabio's Chest.") It's a matter of taste.

The bag was made by Swift. It's huge, and does a lot of things.

Here's a video about it.  There are others.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge4v9t5JkfQ

Here's photos.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/h9yXAV3dswP3oNRb6

Price is $230, plus $20 to ship. It requires a big box.

Thanks for looking.

Re: [RBW] Re: FS wheel set

[helen wilson]

I do not know much about bikes. James at Rivendell has been helping me. The 
invoice reads: "Wheel- 700c- Velocity A23/Shimano Ultegra 6800 hubs".  James 
told me the spacing is most likely 135mm. My husband gently used the wheels on 
his Clem Smith H 59cm bike.

Deore are 135, and that would be 10 speed/11mtb era.  I think those

Re: [RBW] For the Riv Sisters

It is a hand knitted sweater! All wool of course :)

It's definitely been in action already! It's still "in progress" because 
the drivetrain and tires are still just from the parts bin. Hoping to order 
some new ones in Spring

Re: [RBW] riv water bottles

[Garth]

May be that Riv doesn't sell the Specialized Purist bottles anymore because 
they are not what they originally were. I have an original, smoke colored 
one with the squiggly mountain landscape lines that was perfect. No plastic 
taste and the cap really was MO-FLOW ! I bought 3 last year and the first 
thing I noticed was the caps didn't open as much as my good one. Mo-flow as 
now No-Mo-Flow. I had to really squeeze to get a drink. Then the taste 
plastic. I use my original every day and have for years and it''s 
wonderful.

 I would like some, but haven't seen any on the site in a couple of

 Is it because of Grant's "you don't need water on most rides" stance?

Re: [RBW] riv water bottles

Well, darn it.  That'll teach me to answer a question that wasn't asked.  I 
guess we're all still looking for something.  I guess it also explains why 
the nalgene's are on sale

Re: [RBW] riv water bottles

[Christopher Cote]

Keith,

At the risk of further thread drift, I have to say that I have one of those 
Nalgene bottles, and they are not very good. The dirt cap doesn't really 
seal, and dry dust can find its way in. Also, the nozzle isn't as nice as 
the ubiquitous Specialized made ones. I bought some more dust-capped 
bottles from a company called Dawn to Dusk, and while better than the 
Nalgene, they still are pretty bad. I can't believe, especially with the 
rise in popularity of unpaved road riding, that there aren't better 
solutions available.

Chris

Re: [RBW] riv water bottles

[iamkeith]

Since this won't divert sales from Riv, I'll mention it as an on-topic 
PSA:  I happenened to order a bunch of water bottles yesterday, directly 
from Nalgene.  I was looking for something with a secondary mud cap because 
I was tired of wiping cow dung off the valve before drinking and, lo and 
behold, they happened to make one.  On sale for $3.50, with free shipping 
if you order $20 worth.  BPA-free, dishwasher-safe.  Hard to beat (at least

Re: [RBW] riv water bottles

[Sky Coulter]

I think it mght be because they’re trying to reduce the amount of plastic they 
use? Really, just speculation, but i thought there was some communication about 
trying to reduce waste.

I still have a number of their water bottles and use them frequently.
