Agree - that's a screaming deal. I kind of wish I'd seen that one and could have bought it as an upgrade to my RB-1 - even though I have almost zero need for a true go-fast road bike. And then there was Eric's recent sale, too: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/rbw-owners-bunch/road$20fs%7Csort:relevance/rbw-owners-bunch/C_k1NJ2im1s/Dcm3KOg4AAAJ I really don't understand the market. With deals like these seeming to come up regularly, even if not the norm, I don't see how models like the roadini - let alone the roadeo - still sell. Except that they are available when the buyer wants them. Don't get me wrong - I'm glad they do. I suppose the roadini also reflects some evolved Rivendell design principles like longer chainstays, but those are pretty subtle compared to the differences from most other non-riv offerings. Maybe more people have a general bias toward un-used things than I believe. Or maybe the limited pool of likely buyers - like those in this group - is the exact same pool of buyers who also have a strong bias toward fatter tires than these old frames will accommodate? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
