Re: [RBW] Re: fs: Rivendell A. Homer Hilsen
I bet your original post was deleted because you took a swipe at track bikes in a user moderated forum -- assuming the original post included the comment about Chicago needing fewer track bikes.

Re: [RBW] Re: Has anyone used trekking / butterfly bars on a Rivendell?
Your description made laugh. I've been thinking about trying these bars for years, but you just convinced me to not try them. Rob Minneapolis On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 11:56 AM, cm wrote: > ...

Re: [RBW] Avocet O2 saddle substitute
I like that saddle too. After they became unavailable, I bought two on ebay and have never found another saddle that fits me as nicely. I like the Koobi SI Classic, but they don't seem to last very long. Rob Riggins Minneapolis, MN On Tue, Dec 21, 2010 at 3:22 PM, Rick P wrote: > I need some help from you all.

Re: [RBW] Re: Any Tandems?
After I installed platform pedals on my tandem, I found that more people ride with me.
