Porsche Ruby Red by Rivendell's current painter. I thought about this colour myself. Very classy! On Cyclofiend http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc/2006/cc095-cvanorsdol0406.html On Tuesday, November 7, 2017 at 10:52:51 PM UTC-6, Joe

The angle of the photo has an elongating effect. I was talking up, not out. So maybe it was a (bad) skinny joke? But please, never look for meaning in any of my comments, grasshopper. On Tuesday, November 7, 2017 at 7:40:04 PM UTC-8, Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: > > Did I grow? I looked for

I didn't get the "grow" comment, either, but I don't think it was a fat joke. You look fabulous, and those are killer boots! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it,

Re: [RBW] Cheviot dreaming

Did I grow? I looked for the meaning in this but all I can come up with is “Wait a minute, is he making a fat joke?” I’ll keep the boots close. Scary times, I tell you. And you best get Riv to make you some mounts. I’ll find you some appropriate boots! We got this covered. Sent from my iPad

Re: [RBW] Cheviot dreaming

Hi Leah. Did you grow while you were away? The boots you *would* grab? I'd keep 'em real close from here on out. In fact you may want to sleep in them. You are right, though, an all-out sprint from a zombie or two would render the Twofish inoperable in no time. But then, you don't want to be

Re: [RBW] Cheviot dreaming

The tires in this photos are Clement Xplor 40s, I've had Compass 38s, which will also permit fenders easily, and right now it has 42 Somas. With releases at the cable hanger and also at the lever, no need to deflate even the biggest tires. I really like the vintage Dia Compe/Weinmann, and I

Re: [RBW] Cheviot dreaming

Mark in Beacon - AFAIK, the prime motivator for canti brakes vs long-reach sidepulls is fender clearance (ameliorated by switching to long-reach centerpulls, as you suggest. An additional motivator would be better brake feel due to the long, flexy arms of long-reach sidepulls or DC centerpulls

Re: [RBW] Cheviot dreaming

Eh, it's not a thing for me. I only use one bottle at a time, and usually carry enough luggage to store extra. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email

Re: [RBW] Cheviot dreaming

My custom mixte did have 2 water-bottle mounts; the 1st is topside ,the 2nd is on the underside of the downtube. To be fair here, I said 2 bosses on the form but I didn't say where On Tuesday, November 7, 2017 at 4:25:22 PM UTC-6, Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: > > > But Mark, you don’t

Re: [RBW] Cheviot dreaming

But Mark, you don’t understand. The dream Cheviot HAS to have two bottle mounts because the Dream Cheviot is the world’s most over-prepared bike. At least according to The Book of Leah, it is. The bike would have dyno lighting and the heaviest-duty racks and giant Wald baskets and Sackville

Re: [RBW] Cheviot dreaming

As long as it fits my 650b x 41 Fatty Rumpkins I'm happy. It may be a tad snug with fenders, but I'm thinking of running roadie-style clip-on/pop-off mudguards anyway 'cause it's dry here most of the year. Also, I'm not a big fan of adding brake stresses to a frame in areas it wasn't designed

Re: [RBW] Cheviot dreaming

How much more tire would that get you, front and rear? The specs say it can take a 650B/45 or a 700c/50. That is a ton o' tire. If you really need more, brake reach is listed as 65 (Tektro 559?), but if you went with Dia Compe 750 centerpulls, would that get you more height (which I assume is

Joe, This will be a cool bike. As long as you're getting the custom paint, did you consider have canti posts added? That's the one thing I wish my Cheviot had but doesn't. The frame has generous clearance, but tire size is limited by the brake calipers. (It's certainly easier to spend your money

That was me getting the Roadini painted. Should be there right now in fact. I also considered a red but more like a deep Merlot shade. Bright red should be very pretty -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from

[RBW] Cheviot dreaming

Joe, I love my Cheviot. For the type of riding I enjoy, it is my favorite of the Rivs I've owned or own (Atlantis, Romulus, Road Standard). It is almost the perfect bike. One more set of water bottle cage braze-ons and it is perfect! It will look stunning in red; can't wait to see photos.

Whelp, this started as a "let's jump on that sale" journey towards a Cheviot frame at a pre-sale price in a nice Roadini/RBW Blue...then I lost my mind. Someone on a Roadini thread mentioned getting a custom color and I thought, HEY! So I chatted with Will @ Riv and determined I could get
