FWIW... When I was last talking to folks at Riv about a month ago, they mentioned that they were still working out a better lug for the diagonal joint; evidently the ones they have in hand, have essentially been hand-built lugs (please don't quote me on that, that may just be what I inferred, and not what was meant, only what I understood). At that time they had about 5 other diaga-Bomba frames at Waterford, that the tubes were all cut and all the other lugs in place, etc., ready to go, just waiting on that last lug to be finalized... he was being very cautious with delivery time estimates, didn't want to say that a frame would be delivered really really soon, that it'd be awhile before one would get delivered; didn't want me to expect one to show up in a few weeks, was trying to be sure that I wasn't disappointed by having to wait several months (my reply was, it'll be worth whatever wait... it's not like I won't be ridin' the Ram 'til it arrives....) SO.... I'm still awaitin'..... will give me time to continue to gather parts, make final decisions on how I'm going to build out some of the details, etc... It was actually really interesting, they didn't think it would really take too long, but being cautious, wouldn't suggest that it'd really be sooner (not wanting to overpromise or underdeliver). Really nice to deal w/ a company that cares that much. A bit of a funny... I was referring to the diaga-Bomba as the "mixte version of a Bomba", since it reminds me of a mixte with a top tube added in... my suggestion is, don't refer to it as such, as it seemed to cause confusion as to what I wanted; call it a diagonal-Bombadil, and it'll be right; for a minute, they were wonderin' if what I was wanting was a Bombadil-like mixte... Color, pics, build details to come once it's here and progress is underway.... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
