Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: Roadeo or Roadini 58 to 61 or so

[Adam Kimball]

Quick correction - Looking for a 57 Roadini.  I didn't realize how much 
upslope the top tube has.  A 61 Roadeo would still interest me though!

Thanks,
Adam

[RBW] Re: Nexave Rear Der

[brendonoid]

I think if there are any parts you are waiting to get cheaper it's probably 
time to  give up and start accepting that demand is well and truly 
outstripping supply these days. Those Nexave derailleurs were the most 
savvy business thing I've ever seen Riv do. They were sold out by the time 
I'd woken up and checked my emails. Grabbed an extra Silver Crank though 
I've been waiting for those to be available for ages.

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: Riv Hat

[Patrick Moore]

Speaking of cycling caps: Bike Gnashbar used to sell wonderful retro-team
caps; they were always on deep discount, or, in other words, list was
always "75% off!!!" I am wearing out the remainders of my BP, Molteni,
Legnano, Peugeot, and Bianchi ones, and I've not seem them offered for a
long while.

Does anyone know where one can buy such retro-caps?

Thanks.

Maybe eventually, but there's a ton of Riv models running them and they 
sell the wheels. My custom and Susie are rim-brake 650B.

45cm being 650b is kind of a big deal! I would assume that would affect the 
ride to some degree. I agree that lime/olive is killer. I am sure these 
won't last long.

I agree. I am fine with them selling them for whatever they can get for

that much for an under $50 RD.  I did like the RR Shimano I had years ago

[RBW] Re: Nexave Rear Der

[Matthew P]

I think the derailer looks interesting and I thought about buying one, but 
not for $132 or whatever.
I am fine with them buying up the whole lot.
If they charged what they did for them because they need money, I 
understand, but still wish they decided to make money another way, like 
sell more hats that are sold out and will sell out again ;)
If they charged what they did following the mentality of "there are only a 
few derailers so we must raise the barrier to them" then I wish they 
limited access to them based on some other criterion. Their approach is in 
favor of people with more money having greater access, which is very much 
in line with how the world works.
But it doesn't seem very Riv-ish. 
I understand their ethos of "you don't need a $100 derailer; the $30 works 
just fine".
But what am I to make of "use the $30 derailer that we're selling for 
$130"? Again, seems in conflict with their own approach.

This is not intended to be a harsh criticism; this little thing is just 
that: minor.

I wish they kept them all for Riv builds or only sold them in-person or 
based on how old your Riv account is or something like that.

Thanks for the tip Laing.

I guess now I should just go ahead and buy the derailer I was looking at on 
ebay that sold for $50 and there's maybe one available for $60. Or try to 
hold strong to the parts bin approach.

Good call on this post Bill.

[Bill Lindsay]

I know that regret for not buying up more instances of a good cheap part.  

I have a stockpile of short cage XT rapid rise RDs, and will content myself 
with those.  They don't have the super sweet big pulleys though.  On the 
big pulley front I have two Altus RDs, which were practically free and 
shift incredibly well, but those are not rapid rise.  I also have one of 
the RDs that Rivendell sold briefly that also has big pulleys like the 
Altus, is not rapid rise and is maybe one or two steps up from Altus, so it 
has a little bit more alloy construction and a little less stamped steel 
and plastic.  I don't remember what made-up word is on printed on it.

[RBW] Re: WTB: Riv Hat

[Matt Beecher]

They did a nice run of hats a couple years ago.  I picked up a bucket hat, 
2nd hand.  I really wanted one of the traditional baseball style hats.  I 
seem to recall a nice looking orange one.

I have a green baseball cap, but quality does not seem quite as nice as the 
Blue Lug or the ones I missed out on.  I'm hopeful there will be a higher 
end hat offering coming up while they are looking for something to help 
stay afloat next year.  

Good luck with the hunt!

Best regards,
Matt in Oswego, IL

[RBW] Nexave Rear Der

I love Rivendell's power move on Nexave Rear Ders.  They identified the 
super ultimate rear der, consistent with their own long held beliefs about

$132 each.  So they paid $6000 for 132 derailers and sold exactly one-sixth

[RBW] Testing for interest, my '98 LongLow 65cm needs a new home

[Berkeleyan]

I now have a new Riv-ish second road bike, and the LongLow should go to a 
good home. This was built in 1998 by Joe Stark from Grant's specifications 
for my height and reach, and painted by Joe Bell. I will try to sell it as 
a complete bike before considering pulling the parts off. I think $2,000 is 
the right price.

The build is a mix of old and not-so-old. Phil BB and rear hub, Ritchey 
cranks, a Sachs six-speed freewheel (less dish on rear wheel) with a 13-30 
spread. The brakes are Tektro mini-Vees, which I found just perfect and 
grippy after working through different sets of cantilevers. Nitto S-83 
seatpost and Nitto stem. Interrupters on the Noodle bars. Lots of spare 
bits.

I love the smooth ride of this bicycle, and never hesitate to get on and 
ride all day, or for five days on long loops. The forks were repaired after 
I broke a cantilever pivot, and Ed Litton brazed a new one on and shot the 
forks in glossy black - a little odd-looking for a Riv but not 
objectionable. I'm riding Compass tires at the moment, which measure 35mm, 
and clear the fenders, but I don't think you'll fit anything wider.

Hello RBW bunch,

Are you planning on buying one of the Riv - Blue Lug hats? Pass on your old
