Re: [RBW] Re: Building a Quickbeam and wondering...

[Richard Rose]

Bill, your description of the landscape near your Michigan office is even more true of northwest Ohio, Toledo more precisely. It’s this geography that has me thinking a Roaduno might be fun, be it 1,2 or 3 speed. Richard - in Toledo where the only “hill” is a stiff headwind.

Cranks, chainrings, etc.  Simpleones, too, if that's what you're riding. It appears Riv doesn't offer the classic single speed crankset anymore. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
