Re: [RBW] 26.8 seatposts with generous setback

Well, that’s hopeful!I got mine today, too. I have it installed and I slammed it as far as it will go and it will just barely work for me. I sized up in my Platypus frame so I have very little seatpost showing. This seat post cannot be slammed all the way because it widens at the top. But I think

I heard back from my friend  Jim who received and mounted the revised IRC seatpost. Here's what he said: Paul in Dallas  "Received it 2 days ago. Long ride yesterday and it is a game changer! No slippage….my Roadini is now dialed in. Can’t wait to ride it again." -- You received this

If you saw Riv’s IG today, you will have seen a RivSister named Sarah holding her custom yellow Platy aloft, PlatyPosing, as we RivSisters like to say. Sarah isn’t wild about learning to post to this platform, and since we talk on the DMs all day (stolen moments, as we’re both nurses and

Yeah. There are no cheap versions of the 145mm tandem rear hubs, plus a full wheel rebuild wasn't what I wanted. The good news is that the kids will outgrow being seen with dad on the triplet before we wear out this next set of pawls and we can then sell the bike. On Fri, Jun 2, 2023 at 6:57 PM

Hey all, I'm moving into a smaller place and need to make room so I'm hoping somebody here may like to have these old Rivendell Readers, issues #21 through 34. If you're in the Sacramento area, we could arrange some sort of drop off. Otherwise, I'll ask for the cost of shipping these. I

John — Riv sells the Sugino/Clipper/New Albion doubles for about $150. Seems reasonable to me. You can also get them from Soma Fab for even less at $130, they have sales kinda regularly, too. If you sign up for their newsletter you'll get alerts. Sometimes they do 30% off.
