Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: Roadeo or Roadini 58 to 61 or so

Quick correction - Looking for a 57 Roadini. I didn't realize how much upslope the top tube has. A 61 Roadeo would still interest me though! Thanks, Adam On Thursday, August 5, 2021 at 9:09:02 PM UTC-6 Adam Kimball wrote: > Ideally a complete. And ideally orange. > > -Adam > > > On Aug 5, 20

[RBW] Re: Nexave Rear Der

I think if there are any parts you are waiting to get cheaper it's probably time to give up and start accepting that demand is well and truly outstripping supply these days. Those Nexave derailleurs were the most savvy business thing I've ever seen Riv do. They were sold out by the time I'd wo

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: Riv Hat

Speaking of cycling caps: Bike Gnashbar used to sell wonderful retro-team caps; they were always on deep discount, or, in other words, list was always "75% off!!!" I am wearing out the remainders of my BP, Molteni, Legnano, Peugeot, and Bianchi ones, and I've not seem them offered for a long while.

I have one I’m pretty sure unworn. Cycling cap. It looks like this but Homer blue ( the darker Homer). It’s in my house somewhere in a box. If you’re interested, I’ll find it and get you pics. House is non smoking and no pets. https://www.pinterest.jp/pin/377528381248306877/ Roberta On Tuesda

Re: [RBW] Clem L frames live 3et 8/12/21

Maybe eventually, but there's a ton of Riv models running them and they sell the wheels. My custom and Susie are rim-brake 650B. On Tuesday, August 10, 2021 at 5:13:23 PM UTC-7 Eric Daume wrote: > That’s a weird choice. Rim brake 650b wheels are pretty tough to find. > > On Tuesday, August 1

That’s a weird choice. Rim brake 650b wheels are pretty tough to find. On Tuesday, August 10, 2021, Joe Bernard wrote: > Get em! The 45cm is 650B now and that LimeOlive is sweet! > > Joe "don't need, still want" Bernard > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

[RBW] Re: Clem L frames live 3et 8/12/21

45cm being 650b is kind of a big deal! I would assume that would affect the ride to some degree. I agree that lime/olive is killer. I am sure these won't last long. On Tuesday, August 10, 2021 at 7:00:39 PM UTC-4 Joe Bernard wrote: > Get em! The 45cm is 650B now and that LimeOlive is sweet! >

[RBW] Re: Nexave Rear Der

I agree. I am fine with them selling them for whatever they can get for them (they don't make them anymore) but I don't see the value of paying that much for an under $50 RD. I did like the RR Shimano I had years ago though. On Tuesday, August 10, 2021 at 6:02:41 PM UTC-4 Matthew P wrote: > I

[RBW] Re: Nexave Rear Der

I think the derailer looks interesting and I thought about buying one, but not for $132 or whatever. I am fine with them buying up the whole lot. If they charged what they did for them because they need money, I understand, but still wish they decided to make money another way, like sell more ha

[RBW] Re: Nexave Rear Der

I know that regret for not buying up more instances of a good cheap part. I have a stockpile of short cage XT rapid rise RDs, and will content myself with those. They don't have the super sweet big pulleys though. On the big pulley front I have two Altus RDs, which were practically free and

[RBW] Re: Nexave Rear Der

I looked at them on Saturday morning and thought about it. A few hours later I looked again and they were gone. I will have to be content with my 4 silver Shimano Altus RD-M310s (which can still be had on eBay). Laing Delray Beach FL On Tuesday, August 10, 2021 at 4:03:28 PM UTC-4 Bill Lindsay

[RBW] Re: WTB: Riv Hat

They did a nice run of hats a couple years ago. I picked up a bucket hat, 2nd hand. I really wanted one of the traditional baseball style hats. I seem to recall a nice looking orange one. I have a green baseball cap, but quality does not seem quite as nice as the Blue Lug or the ones I m

[RBW] Nexave Rear Der

I love Rivendell's power move on Nexave Rear Ders. They identified the super ultimate rear der, consistent with their own long held beliefs about RDs, found 132 of them, paid $45 apiece for them and sold 22 of them for $132 each. So they paid $6000 for 132 derailers and sold exactly one-sixth

[RBW] Testing for interest, my '98 LongLow 65cm needs a new home

I now have a new Riv-ish second road bike, and the LongLow should go to a good home. This was built in 1998 by Joe Stark from Grant's specifications for my height and reach, and painted by Joe Bell. I will try to sell it as a complete bike before considering pulling the parts off. I think $2,000

64cm Hillborne (Waterford) on eBay. I want this bike and have traded a few messages with the owner, who seems like an incredibly nice person. From our back-and-forth, my 93.5cm PBH would give me enough standover clearance. Someone grab this thing! 64cm MUSA Sam on eBay
