Re: [RBW] Re: New Handlebar Suggestions

When I made my switch I used my current setup as a starting point. I measured from my saddle to the hood position and then swapped the bars and measured to the grips. The bars ended up coming back something like 3-4cm so I added that length to the stem I had on there. YMMV You can also use whatbar

[RBW] Re: FS: (2) 60cm Rivendell Platypus complete bikes

You have a ton of really nice parts on these bikes. From watching and participating in rehoming bikes (buying and selling), you might want to consider splitting it up and offering the components and extras separate from the frames. Lots of people have their own collections of spare parts they w

I had some choco bars on my sam which I loved. I recently swapped bars between a crust romanceur and the sam, with rene hearse rando bars going on the sam and chaco going on the crust, but I'm already planning to put upright bars back on the sam. Thinking I'm going to try to the Ahearne+Map bar

Garth, Yes, F&F works but there are some buyers that want the buyer protection not offered via F&F. On the other hand, if that becomes an issue I could just not sell to that individual buyer. Hugh On Tue, Jun 27, 2023, 1:16 PM Garth wrote: > If you use friends and family this does not apply.

[RBW] Quick Question about selling and payment methods?

Hi, I'm considering selling a box full of parts I no longer need. In the past I have taken payment via PayPal which was convenient for both the buyer and myself. However, now I believe all 3rd party banking services will be required to issue a 1099k for anything over $600 in a calendar year. I

Re: [RBW] Using Your Rivendell Vs. Being Precious: A Spectrum

Hi Ryan! I rode the Clem to try out those new tires and they leave a lot to be desired on road surfaces compared to the Platys. The Clem is very good but the Platypus is exceptional, so one of those will be the bike I take. Theft is pretty low-risk where I am headed. I’m more worried about damaging

Why don't you take your Clem in its new gravel-ready configuration and try it out? Or am I missing something here? Like maybe one of the Platypi is easier to transport, for example...just a question from someone on the precious side of the spectrum who definitely thinks nice beaters also have a
