Re: [RBW] Re: Nivex on a Rivendell?

[Brian Turner]

The price point + the added cost of having to modify a frame with the proprietary braze-on it needs to mount it would make this impractical beyond the derailleur cost alone for most folks.

Sensah offered to do them for $350 which he was adamantly against as he wanted them to be affordable and functional rather than something artistic that no one bought.  On Tue, Dec 13, 2022 at 6:24 AM Shoji Takahashi <shoji.takaha...@gmail.com> wrote: I'd love to try it-- unfortunately an unlikely proposition for me. After seeing the RH price point, I'm scared to think what the Riv derailer will cost.  shoji arlington ma On Tuesday, December 13, 2022 at 8:39:29 AM UTC-5 Bill Schairer wrote: I'm intrigued but consider all the bits needed to make it happen and one is probably looking at more like $1,500 and, besides that, most of those added bits aren't available!?  I'm still intrigued, though.

They had an album called "High Class in Borrowed Shoes". I never really related much to that title until right now...... and how underneath the inflated image of "high class" resides the person, place or thing as it truly is. In this case, it's "just" a derailleur regardless of the sales pitch and inflated sense of worthiness. Not to diminish the "just", I mean that as the authenticity of Existence. A derailleur is a marvelous and ingenious thing and no amount of over or under inflating can change that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
