What about that signature Rivendell handling? I'd also add the fit and feel of 4 of the 5 I've owned. I took the '03 Curt (559X1.35"/32 mm actual) Kojaks briefly off road on Monday and I was surprised how nimble it felt negotiating the rocks and how good it felt on firm dirt (these surfaces turn to deep sand in summer and require much fatter tires). But I wished then and there that I had a Riv Road that could take 60 mm tires.
As to the list: I still like my road bars 3 cm below saddle, my clipless pedals, panniers instead of very large saddlebags, =<32mm for road, =>55 mm for dirt, no damned zip ties for metal goods, do it right, why not?, bells, kickstands -- rear mount -- on errand specific bikes only, flat ramps -- too, too many years riding Nitto 185s!, small rings (and close ratio gearing), wool at any time below 70F, ponchos (the Campmor $30 one is outstanding value; tho' we get 9" in a good year ...), and plastic saddles (my Unicanitor-ized -- no padding, just nice, thick leather over the shell -- original issue Flite is breaking in). None of the above has changed for years. -- *RESUMES THAT GET YOU NOTICED!* Certified Resume Writer http://resumespecialties.com/index.html patrickmo...@resumespecialties.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/patrickmooreresumespec/ Albuquerque, NM -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
