[RBW] Re: Losco vs Albatross 6mm Additional Sweep back--an additional 6cm

With a long stem it would be fine but for me I think it would bring the end to near me. I don’t hold the bars at the ends and find the Choco gives me added stretch over the Albatross, but this would be for a different usage. They are raised up enough for good clearance I would think.

[RBW] Re: FOR SALE: Custom Rivendell Road Bike

Sorry this got posted under digest, not sure how... Why not just measure standover? Easy enough to measure from the floor straight up to the middle of the top tube. I would think that would be a good indicator of fit for the right person. I always try to go with standover due to BB height,

[RBW] Re: New old ride

Thank you Jeff. There are some really nice rides if I get the energy to go a bit longer like today. A relocated city boy, hard to believe the traffic I used to ride in. On Saturday, April 24, 2021 at 4:13:43 PM UTC-4 Jeffrey Arita wrote: > Excellent, Joel. Looks like a beautiful pl

[RBW] Mixte chain stays

It seems the old geometry charts are no longer available on the new Riv site. I wonder if some of the original mixte models had shorter chain stays? I cannot wrap my head around, for me, these very long chain stays. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Eric, I got a reply on the bob list first. If it falls through I will let you know. I have some MKS Touring pedals I can do for the same free plus shipping if you would like. I can send pics. Joel On Thursday, April 1, 2021 at 2:44:17 PM UTC-4 eric...@gmail.com wrote: >

I tried the cushioned Newbaums, just did not like it, very thick. I am sure it would shellac fine. I do double wrap and shellac redux are Newbaums. On Tuesday, March 9, 2021 at 12:40:09 PM UTC-5 brettjc...@gmail.com wrote: > If so, would you share a picture and/or your impressions? I'm
