Actually, it depends on the model. I was looking at the Hybrid. At SP, its selling for $140; Clymb has it for $100. My only hesitation is I don't know how these jackets fit?! I prefer to pay my LBS a few more dollars to make sure it fits...Good Luck! Btw - does "Zach" have to continue posting

Hi Ryan, My 120 Technomic is just gathering dust. If you're interested, I'll sell it cheap. I'll have to check and make sure it's 26mm though. I'm in Seattle as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To view this discussion

Maybe a race to the bottom bracket. Can understand why folks would pay the premium for a low Q nicely made crankset. Not all of us need low Q, though. Have no problems with Sugino XD2 on a 110 bottom bracket on my Sam Hillborne. But that would have a huge Q factor for many. For my use, it's mo

Not many are made that big but my top tube is too short. Only the hoods on my bike are comfortable at all. I really want to stretch out. My current one is beautiful and 100mm long: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ryanrray/7281514250/in/photostream (I'm measuring it wrong) 120 could probably work

For what it's worth for those wondering about sizing I'm about 5'9", 84cm PBH and the 54 fit nicely. The 56 Hillborne fits too but I would need a stem about 1-2cm shorter. Ryan On May 28, 12:37 pm, Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery wrote: > I have one in the middling 54cm size that will be available

Funny, I just put my old XD triple (50/36/26) back on the Rambouillet with an 11 - 30 SRAM cluster after a couple of years riding an upper scale Ultegra (52/42/30) with a SHMINAO 13 - 28. I caught myself thinking how much better I like the XD.. On Mon, May 28, 2012 at 9:05 AM, SISDDWG wrote:

Without disregarding the financial impact, that $320 difference is 10% of a $3200 bike (AHH + Riv build kit). Custom paint, Honjos, WI hubs is putting it closer to $4K.

Sugino XD Triple = $119. Rene Herse $440. Difference = $321. That is a huge difference. Remember, it wasn't that long ago that everyone was touting the XD as a really good crank. IMO it still is, not saying the Herse isn't better. But think about it -- $321 more. That can buy a lot of chains, tires

Well, maybe not literally flying apart, but chain breaks aren't particularly rare, especially when shifting under load and cross- chained. It's fairly dangerous too, since the sudden reduction in normal forces can lead to crashes at inopportune times. I should clarify that I'm looking at the way t
