The machines in the TdF are carbon racers sold to hardcore roadies, so it's an excellent comparison. They are not lifetime frames. -- 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

"Lifetime model" is "bike that will outlast you." Which is definitely true of Rivendells, and not at all true of the stuff ridden in the Tour de France this year. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this

This is too funny.  How many Rivendell models are no longer being made?  No such thing as a "lifetime model."  Atlantis comes closest, but it's day will come I thnk. From: Joe Bernard  Sometimes I chuckle at Grant's "lifetime bicycle" copy on the website: Why would

Oh no, they're long gone, John. Each sale of a bike has its specific story, but the reality is I go through a lot of bikes (I don't recommend this expensive habit). I like bicycles as mechanical and artistic objects, and there's a little voice in my head that often whispers "you only get so

DB Thanks for the link to the RBW write up. Just what I was looking for. I vaguely remember it, 12 - 13 years ago?? The PH / SH chart was invaluable. it confirms a 54cm is my size and I could fit a 56cm, although the 57cm TT may be a challenge. John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ On Thursday,

Bill made me spit coffee out my nose. Thanks alot. The Saluki in question appears to be from early in the run, before tektro made the rivendell-requested 559 sidepull brake, so it has cantilever brakes. That, and possibly some different lugs, is a difference. Normally i like cantis but, in

Does any one have any links to the RBW literature on the early Saluki's??? looking at the 54cm on Seattle CL, since it is my size. I know the Saluki's transformed into the 650B AHHs, but there seems to be subtle differences. I thought there were links on Cyclofiend's site, but have not
