Anyone in Seattle with Hunqapillar willing to show it off? It's hard to go from interested to excited without seeing one. Thanks, Mike Morrison (mmorr...@fhcrc.org) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To post to this group, send

René, Glad to hear you had some really fine chaps showing you around - I've enjoyed their company a few times. Sorry I couldn't join you, but I'm a school teacher in the suburbs north of Seattle. This is a very hectic time of year, especially since I moved to a different school this year to teach

More than one, actually. A whole, shall we say, "chain" of them. Yep, my first week of enjoying the silence of the Silver shifter and I hear this tiny squeak. Once. Twice. Silence. Oh... must've been some truck's brakes on the distance... or a gate hinge. Wait, no... there it is again. And again

This thread is 30 posts long, so WTH, I'll weigh in with my 2 cents. STI brake-shift levers pretty much (hard to find the right words) brought back my cycling life in 1995. Been riding them ever since, mostly the very same components (105-8), now installed on my new-to-me Riv. I won't give th

[RBW] WTB: Medium SaddleSack, BarSack

Hi, I'd like to buy your Grid Grey Sackville Medium SaddleSack; not Large. Perhaps interested in a used Grid Grey BarSack too. (I'm still debating the merits of barsack vs. front load bag.) If you have either to sell, please email me off list: seandes...@earthlink.net. It would ship to Eden Pra

OK, I at least tentatively withdraw my accusation; peace. But I've heard truly kneejerk cyclist reactions of the sort I accused and, having seen OTOH truly stupid if not criminal cycling behavior, and having gotten earfuls from outraged motorists who'd like to lump me into the same categories, it r

I have friction shifters on one of my bikes, and indexed shifters (the old SunTour Accushift) on my Rivendell Road Standard. I actually prefer the indexed shifters, just a quick click and the bike is in the gear with no need to trim or adjust the shift. Maybe I'm lazy, but the ease of shifting ce

Recently switched to 9sp 7700 Dura Ace downtube indexed shifters after a long time using Silver friction dt shifters. Maybe I'm getting lazy, but I'm pretty happy with the result particularly when off-road. The indexed shifters shift perfectly every time. It turns out that you can also use current
