I will look into the Delgado. The guys at Hiawatha are really nice to work with. I rolled in there last fall with my Bomba and a broken chain and they had me up and running in a jiffy. Even with steady traffic coming in the door. Great shop, great stuff, great folks. I lived in Minneapolis for 10 years before moving to Louisville. I REALLY miss the cycling culture and infrastructure of the Twin Cities, but Louisville has some really great things happening.........like hills, for one thing! I'm told that Riv is out of 60cm Hillborne frames. :( Besides that, the sentiment is that the 60cm will be too tight. I'm exploring other options. All of this talk about lighter, snappier wheelsets reminds me that with the purchase of this new wheelset and frameset, I'll have a spare touring wheelset. I'd really like it to have a good home. Is there any interest among those posting to this thread? Wanted to ask here before making larger postings elsewhere, ebay, etc. Anyone need a wheelset like this: Front: 36 hole Dyad , Phil hub, DT spokes Rear: 48 hole Dyad, Phill 9speed Shimano cassette hub, DT spokes Any interest, email me at bassandbike AT yahoo. Pics upon request. Cheers! Patrick Louisville, Ky. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
