Well, my only personal feeling about Eric's bike is that the graphics on the rims are kinda loud. Love the Ritchey cranks, though! I sold my Heron Touring bike to a friend, for whom it was a perfect fit. His brother-in-law, a hard-core road bike kinda guy, had a snazzy pair of "last year's" carbon fiber wheels that he gave to my friend for cheap. I was initially horrified by it and the cork pads he'd manage to find for the cantilever brakes, but he was happy and rode it a LOT, so that made me happy. I have a lovely Campagnolo Daytona group on my Rivendell Road, with wheels built by Joe Young using shiny, light, skinny FIR rims. I just discovered that Rene Herse 32mm tires fit with room to spare, measuring 29mm on those skinny rims. I also found a NOS 13-26 cassette to replace the 12-23 that I had on there. Talk about an upgrade! All of a sudden I like this bike a lot more. Ted Durant Milwaukee, WI USA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
