[RBW] Re: About a crash a Riv could have prevented

No crash but maybe it is coming. A coworker asked my opinion on a touring bike for his senior HS son, for an organized trip in the Alps summer 2019. I steered him towards a number of late 80s through early 00s touring bikes. (There are quite a few here in SLO/Santa Barbara late summer.) Any his

Agreed, don't be "that guy" pushing your bike opinions (particularly bikes expensive) on other riders (particularly new riders). I can tell you mean well and have his interests at heart, it's just not a good way to welcome people to the sport. Rivendells are great bikes but they are not the onl

Thanks. I was worried about the color choice, my favorite color is maroon. But I really like the blue. BMC had black cherry that one year... Put my bell on, Crane E-Ne bell doesn't sound as nice as my full size crane. But makes up for it in mounting possibilities, can put it anywhere.

Earlier this summer there was a similar accident, although not at such a slow speed, in one of the bike clubs I belong to.  A rider with a new disc brake bike, the group turned onto a major highway with a very tiny shoulder, something happened with the traffic up ahead, she put on her brakes ha

umm think it's a reach to blame the bike. Can remember being a new rider happy tootling around flat golden gate park in San Francisco on a some generic mtb w/cantilever brakes. Suddenly I was on the ground in front of couple of ladies. That's the day I learned to respect the front brakes...
