[RBW] Re: Am I thinking practically? Riv for all seasons

I would vote two bikes, one being the Appaloosa because I'm biased just like everyone else here and we all have an insatiable thirst to see more of them built up. The other, a disc brake bike for winter if you plan to ride year-round because while V-brakes are great in the dry and still pretty

Hi Hugh - it’s not a recent pic - it was taken around 2005 or 06, so it was a few years old. Really dig your new Atlantis. Great parts pick and love the orange! Bob On Sunday, March 13, 2022 at 9:05:04 PM UTC-5 Hugh Smitham wrote: > Stoker, > > Is that a recent picture? It looks pristine. I

Matt, Didn't even consider the Joker connection. Fortunately, it's mostly orange with a bit of purple and a hint of green. I would definitely get a bike frame in Purple, maybe the next one? Although the Grey and Kidney bean Hungapillar is epic. Hugh On Sun, Mar 13, 2022, 8:20 AM Matt Beecher

[RBW] Re: Just shy of 45 lb

The Tubus Fly is, really, a very stiff and stout rack. Tubus advertised the chromo version as 11 oz, but it's a bit more, and I think that the stainless steel version is a wee bit heavier, with a very slightly lower max load limit; Tubus rated the chromo Fly at 20 kg or 44 lb, and the 3 or so

[RBW] Re: Am I thinking practically? Riv for all seasons

I have a Toyo Atlantis and my son has an Appaloosa. They are very similar. The Appaloosa has longer chainstays but that doesn't seem to change handling much. We're in Wisconsin and can ride from March until December. In December the roads get icy and it's not worth putting on studded tires for

[RBW] Trade incoming Gus M for Susie L?

After visiting Riv this week and riding a medium Gus and a large Susie, I’ve decided that I’d prefer the large Susie. I’ve got an orange Gus size medium incoming next month. Does anyone have an incoming dark gold Susie in size large that would rather have a medium Gus? If so let’s chat!

I've been looking at that neat AHH over on Ebay and it got me wondering. I saw a few comments in the past about Waterford vs Toyo AHH frames. How does one tell the difference. Is the easiest/only option to look for Waterford dropouts? Do any of the AHH frames have a kickstand plate?

[RBW] Am I thinking practically? Riv for all seasons

First time posting here. Not yet an owner, but working on it! A few years back, I sold my year round commuter (a Surly Steamroller with custom Canti mounts) in favour of a bike with disc brakes, thinking that would be the way to go for all-season riding. For reference, I live in the middle of

Hi John, Thank you very much. The Coast rando is a wonderful riding/handling bike. Brakes are DiaCompe 980s with Kool Stop pads. I admit to being seduced by the brake's classic design; enough that I have them another bike as well as a previously owned Atlantis. They don't have the stopping

Neat bike. Orange and purple always reminds me of the Joker, though I am not a big fan of the character. I've thought about getting a bike repainted in purple and orange for a few years, though I have not decided on which shades to use. Best regards, Matt in Oswego, IL On Saturday, March

Re: [RBW] Re: Show Me Your Atlantis!

I’ve been waiting for this bike to show up and it’s been worth the wait! Very impressive. I like the Atlantis with big tires, what size? It appears maxed. I never would have thought that orange and purple would work. But it certainly has. That looks like a very fun bike to ride! On Sunday,
