I have pictures but Leah will need to tell me how to post them. And I'm at the airport. Somehow I slept ok b/c I was so tired from the prior days. So much fun! On Monday, October 31, 2022 at 12:25:02 PM UTC-4 Roberta wrote: > (Do not read until you watch the scandalous video Leah posted

[RBW] Re: Betty Foy Sizing & Search

Matt, not sure where you are but I'm in Charlotte. I have a 47, 50 Betty, 55 and 60 Cheviots. You're welcome to try them out to see which size. I think the 50 would fit her but it depends on leg length (PBH). On Wednesday, October 26, 2022 at 6:24:16 PM UTC-4 Roberta wrote: > Brett, > >

[RBW] Re: Your cyclist vs. motorist war/horror stories

I haven't read all the posts except the first one but couple of things... I teach Cycling Savvy ( https://cyclingsavvy.org/event/3-part-workshop-charlotte-nc-oct-21-23/2022-10-21/) which teaches communication and cooperation. I never use the one finger salute, I always use the friendly wave

[RBW] SON light vs B IQ X 100

Thinking about changing lights to see the difference? Worth it? Any different? Also concerned about the connections. I have the Kasai hub w/the plug and not sure how to connect the SON light. Will keep the same tail light (B Brakelight plus) which I love. Thoughts? -- You received this

[RBW] Re: Ride report: Blue Ridge loop

Great ride report. Leaving for the Cycle NC Mountains to Coast ride, which has been cut down to 5 days from 7, on Sun. I wasn't looking forward to the climbs. Maybe it's working out for the best. I'm in Charlotte and would be up for a ride anytime. Where are you? I'm on Warm Showers if

[RBW] Re: Supernova E3 pro2...but dont want to run the rear light?

I'm not sure why you don't want to wire the rear taillight. Super easy. Takes 5 min and some zip ties. I love it. Never have to worry about any lights or recharging. I run the wire along the underside of the frame and up the rack. You never see it. I'm not mechanically inclined and I can

[RBW] Re: Riv asks: One bike forever, which one?

Once you have a mixe-ish dropped tube, you won't go back to a horizontal top tube. Just like dyno lights. Great looking bike. What size is it? I bet it's fun to ride. On Saturday, April 2, 2022 at 2:30:02 PM UTC-4 Joe Bernard wrote: > Steel, mixte, this one! I'll own this bicycle as long

[RBW] Re: For Sale 52cm Yves Gomez, plus WTB and/or trade

I think that's a fair price and I'd buy it if it was a 47. Leah found me one in Salt Lake City but I think they wanted $1500 for the frame. On Monday, April 11, 2022 at 5:48:07 PM UTC-4 Bill Lindsay wrote: > Bill referred to pictures and did not post the link. Here is the link: > Yves >

I have the new ones in grey. They're in stock on the site. But I'd prefer the older ones without the new bungee/hook. I liked the strap better if anyone would like to trade. Never used. On Saturday, March 19, 2022 at 7:19:45 PM UTC-4 Gary L wrote: > Hello all, > I'm looking for one in
