[RBW] Re: FS: 60 cm Quickbeam

Hi Joe, If you search this group for “Quickbeam”, you’ll see that a list member’s orange 62cm QB in near perfect condition sold recently on eBay for $1800 plus $180 shipping. Thats the top of the market, as far as I can tell. You are very close to that, but the bikes aren’t at the same level of

[RBW] Re: SF RB-1 looking very nice

If you disregard the Bridgestone/early GP provenance, it's just another 90's road bike with limited clearance for tires. I would be inclined to value it for much the same as your previously owned Fuji Team. The Fuji may have had lighter tubing than the RB1 so the bikes may ride quite

Hey Brent, I know that we've already gotten to chat about how much I enjoy my Roadini. I have owned an RB-1 previously, and would argue that if you could only own of those two bikes, the Roadini is a clear winner from the standpoint of utility. I've been commuting on it and taking it on mixed

Re: [RBW] Re: Ultegra 9spd long cage range

For what it's worth, the Long Cage RD-6500 rear derailleur is rated for a 27T max cog. The Short Cage RD-6500 is rated for a 28T max cog. A couple people in this thread seem to think that a long cage means it'll shift to a larger cog, and that is not the case with the RD-6500. The long cage

[RBW] Re: SF RB-1 looking very nice

A 1990's road racing bike and a new Rivendell Leo Roadini are two VERY different animals. Like, practically different species, even if they are the same genus. Step 1 is decide which of the two you want, and then buy the one you want. If it turns out you really want one of each of those two

[RBW] Re: SF RB-1 looking very nice

It's a lovely bike in rare shape, 30 years on these aren't coming up in this condition every day. I believe the advertised max tire size was 28mm but that was in the era of over-promising on size by tire manufacturers, I'd only buy this if I was sure I could live with a 700x25 tire. On

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day X2

I wouldn't be surprised if RBW dropped the Homer Hilsen from their line-up and replaced it with the Charlie H. Gallop (expected next year). Especially since it looks to have longish chainstays and uses the same caliper brakes as the Homer. Different frame design but similar "country bike"

Re: [RBW] Re: Ultegra 9spd long cage range

Long ago I used a short cage 8-speed Ultegra rd, on a long mtb hanger, to shift a 14-32 7-speed cassette; it worked fine tho' it was rather stretched out in the 48 and middle cogs, you could use the 26 t granny only with the biggest cogs, and it grumbled when shifting to the 32 in the middle 38 t

[RBW] Re: FS: Sugino XD2 triple, 175mm

It's 110 BCD for the bigger rings, 74 granny ring. Nice cranks, nice price, but the length of the arms might be a stretch for you. You're probably used to 170mm (or shorter). On Wednesday, December 20, 2023 at 8:15:18 AM UTC-8 Pam Bikes wrote: > I'd like that but I think I need a BCD 110 for

Re: [RBW] Riv's new handlebar bag

My biggest issue with handlebar bags of this type is that most designs have a tendency to sway forward and back and rely on complicated (and, IMHO ugly) systems of cords or straps lashed to the frame or handlebars to prevent sway. I have a Velo Orange handlebar bag collecting dust in my closet

Let me know how you like it. I'm tempted but have lots of handlebar bags already. I want one easy to open/close and not get in the way of the cables. On Saturday, December 16, 2023 at 3:40:24 PM UTC-5 rmro...@gmail.com wrote: > Impulse purchase for sure. I've been thinking about a handlebar

Re: [RBW] Re: Ultegra 9spd long cage range

Holy smokes, all our bikes are set up with 9-speed mid-cage Shimano rd’s and all handle 33 front / 32 rear with aplomb. I would think long-cage handles almost any crazy thing in back. Jock On Mon, Dec 18, 2023 at 3:47 PM Cody Marvin wrote: > I have one with an 11-30 cassette and it works well.

[RBW] Re: Coaster Brakes for a Beachy Clem Build

Velo Orange sells an eccentric bottom bracket for hollow tech cranks. Currently out of stock though. Good reviews for the most part, one did say it doesn't take up much slack, maybe one link at most. Probably would work fine with a half link.
