+2 for Riv's assembly.
I've built up bikes on my lonesome and it is indeed satisfying and a rich learning experience. Riv has built up 2 bikes for me and they have indeed been perfect. My own builds not so much. In the end it isn't rocket (or computer science). But I'm happy to have Riv do it. They are the pros from Dover and/or Walnut Creek. -JimD Now all I have to do is learn how to change a flat tire. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zack" <zack...@gmail.com> To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, August 7, 2011 11:16:55 AM Subject: [RBW] Re: Assembly Hey Noel - Couple of thoughts: Rivendell has a "Build Fee" of $210 if you get the bike sent to you the way that you see in the YouTube video. This, to me, was worth it, as I knew that they were going to have everything set up perfectly. The assembly that you have see in the video will be well within your skill set, it's easy peezy. If you decide to just get all the parts through them, the build will take longer/more experience. Not to say you couldn't do it, but it would probably take you some time as you were doing it the first time yourself. For people that are experienced mechanics the build fee wouldn't make sense. I knew it would take me a day or two to build it myself, and it's worth $210 to me to have it done perfectly and save me that time. I am sure they can give you tips on saddle and stem height. The experience of talking through options with them couldn't be better, in my experience. They are always really helpful and committed to getting you on a bike that you will love and that will fit you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
