Is this how fake news start? As posted above^, these are the real deal, NOS Rambouillet frames, built by Toyo as all Rambouillets were. Alex's only seems to have a few in a blue and green 52cm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

RBW said, iirc, and to the best of my recollection: Alex may have lugs that are correct. RBW said they were not sure what the tubing would be or where Alex is getting their tubing from. Not licensed. RBW did not seem concerned about it at all. -- You received this message because you are

The fork crown looks the same, as do the seatstay caps -- can't see the lugs closely enough to judge those. Does Rivendell approve? Did Rivendell license? (I'm asking the list.) Nice looking bike in the photo! On Wed, Sep 20, 2017 at 5:41 PM, lum gim fong wrote: > Alex

I love my Rambouillet! Those are awesome bikes. I have a 54 Blue. It rides great as 700c or 650b. They pop up here from time to time. Maybe she would like the Roadeo. They are probably the closest performing model. But they are expensive. Just for fun:
