[RBW] Clem report: most free ever

I’m about a month into my Clem ownership. It’s the most free and fun I’ve ever felt on a bike. Makes me not mind riding slow and soft pedaling. Can’t wait to do an over nighter with it. Franco Rinaldi c: 646.403.0661 -Pardon any typos, Siri typed this message- -- You received this message

[RBW] Cliffhanger Squeal

Good evening, I seem to remember some discussion from a while back about how Cliffhanger rims don't seem to play well with KoolStop salmon pads. It seems the dual compound pads are preferred. Am I remembering this correctly? I've got a wheel set of Cliffhanger rims with un-machined sidewalls th

Re: [RBW] Re: Roaduno - Are you buying one?

It's clear lots of people wanted a single speed Appaloosa or a single speed Hunqapillar. It's natural for those people to be sad that Rivendell offered a single speed A. Homer Hilsen instead. Those who wanted a single speed A Homer Hilsen are presumably pleased. Bill Lindsay El Cerrito, CA

Re: [RBW] Re: Roaduno - Are you buying one?

I agree on this. I love single speeds, and the 3x1 flexibility looks fun, and the 61.5m profile looks just right for me, but those long reach brakes are a deal breaker for me. I've built bikes with them in the past, and their stopping power in the wet is inadequate for me. Maybe the Riv guys never

Curious about the numbers too. I know vendors are all different but remember reading about Black Mountain difficulties due to minimum orders - something like 30 of each size / color?

I wonder how many they ordered of each iteration - with three colors and 5 sizes of frames and five sizes of completes, that could be up to something like 150 bikes (frames and completes) if they got 5 of each iteration listed, or 300 if they got 10. Or something in between if they mixed and ma

One 54.5 in Ana Purple complete ordered. I decided that I like the high flange hubs on the wheelset and the new crankset so I ordered a complete instead of a frameset. Laing Delray Beach FL On Sunday, June 23, 2024 at 4:59:43 PM UTC-4 Doug H. wrote: > The Roaduno sale begins Thursday June 27th

Hi friends, I am looking to sell a 56cm early Rambouillet - with the pointy lugs and orange color. I'm the original owner from 2002 or 2003, and my wife rode it sparingly. The only issue is a decent-sized dent in the top tube, which happened around 2004-5, when another bike fell on it from a

Hi Doug, I can confirm that La Chouette (Paris) has a 52 in green right now. At least their website says so, and they are usually pretty good about keeping their stock up to date. Of course, it's more expensive than buying direct from Riv and then there's the whole issue of moving it from Fran
