[RBW] Re: Help me decide

I got the Hunqapillar because I wanted to do mostly trail riding (mostly fire roads, not a lot of single track) and some road/commuting/errands. I love it. However, my initial conversations with them were more around what you are doing: more road, some dirt, some trails, and they strongly recom

Re: [RBW] Re: Garage sale grabs?

The wife picked up a bike project while I was away so I actually needed parts to help her build it up. I got there with five minutes to spare and greeted several folks. After walking up and down all the piles several times, I got: - Nitto seatpost - Tektro brakes - MUSA shorts and knickers (bot

I might have to duck a bit to clear the seat rails, but I'm pretty sure I could ride my 47 AHH underneath. ;) On Sunday, June 1, 2014 7:49:55 PM UTC-6, Liesl wrote: > > I would just love to see a photo with your bike, Joe, side by side with > one of my 50cm little Riv's (or better yet someone's

Re: [RBW] Craigslist outing: 52cm Wilbury

Thanks, that is helpful. That Wilbury is probably too big for my wife and too small for me. That's probably a good thing for my bank account. On Sunday, June 8, 2014, blakcloud wrote: > I don't think it would fit someone of that height. My wife is 5' 2", > unknown PBH and she has a 52 Betty Fo

Re: [RBW] Craigslist outing: 52cm Wilbury

I don't think it would fit someone of that height. My wife is 5' 2", unknown PBH and she has a 52 Betty Foy and there is minimal seat post showing. I also had to put on a 7 cm stem for the reach. This comment is only one data point so take it with a grain of salt. A photo for reference https:

[RBW] Re: Wonder of wee rides

Indeed! The weather is even more than I want to venture out in right now (this is about 7-10 miles from our house as I type): https://twitter.com/kktv11news/status/475713046673752065/photo/1 Though my daughter and I saw a funnel cloud bikepacking last year on Pikes Peak. Wimpy wisp of a thing.

[RBW] Wonder of wee rides

I'm right with you. My ideal ride is about 4-6 hours, but I have a three mile, 'round-the-block, loop that I often ride when I only have a few minutes (or when the elements aren't pleasant). It is truly a wonder how much these rides help my soul. On one particular nasty cold day, I rode 200 f

[RBW] Re: Help me decide

I have three Rivs—a Saluki, a proto-bleriot SS, and a custom Appaloosa—and I love them all so I agree that you can't really go wrong. What I might add, though, is the one thing that varies between these bikes are wheel sizes and tire clearances. They are respectively: 650B up to 42mm, 650B u

[RBW] Re: Garage sale grabs?

I didn't get to go to the garage sale but I was just able to purchase a Betty Foy for my fiancé. It's waiting out on the West Coast for us to move! One more month until my residence reads Oakland again and my partner rides a Riv! I just hope there weren't any 54cm Hunkypillars that went for a

[RBW] Re: Help me decide

Well said, Jim. Hunqapillar and Quickbeam shouldn't have a whole lot of overlap, and yet ... I can ride everything with the Hunqapillar and almost everything with the QB. The main difference is emphasis and load capacity. In a world of one trick ponies, GP's bikes are king! With abandon, Patric

[RBW] Re: Help me decide

Yep. As most others have said quite eloquently, I don't think you can choose incorrectly. Also, I'd definitely choose for the type of riding you are doing now (or most of the time). What you'll find is that as your interests evolve and you start experimenting, any of the RBW designs will pro

[RBW] Re: Garage sale grabs?

Ok I was happy for all you Westerners, until I just learned the light blue Prototype Hunq was up for grabs. Any one know if it survived. I purchased a 60 Cheviot frame that is likely to be too small that they are storing until I stop out in July. Calling RWB later in an attempt to upgrade. H
