Re: [RBW] Re: FS: Headsets and Chains

I am also thinking hard about which bike is appropriate for this headset. The closest I have to that era MTB is an Ibis SS, but I'm thinking maybe the '81 Ritchey sport-touring or the Riv Wford All-Rounder? Greg On Thursday, April 28, 2022 at 3:26:17 PM UTC-7 Bill Lindsay wrote: &

some trails. I'm pretty sure you can get the year from the serial number (from the Waterford site), if that matters. But really, what are you looking for? What type of rides will you use this for? What do you currently ride? How will you build it up? And what do you like about it? Gre

ly put you at about a 52cm seat tube (center-top) and 53.5cm top tube. Because this is a frameset only, you'll be taking a bit of a risk I think, without being able to ride it. I had one of these a while back (54cm size), and it was a really nice riding bike. I sold it because I wanted to fi

Like any screw, it will loosen over time, but for the most part, it should be set and forget for a good long time. Especially if you use locktite or beeswax on the threads. (Although I have had one set of screws and a frame where it would loosen frequently, which I attribute to bigger toleranc

IRD has a 12-34 but pricing is like $80. I try to just stick with Shimano or SRAM when I can. On Mon, Nov 1, 2021, 3:27 PM Garth wrote: > Sunarace is the only mfr. of the 12-34 8-sp using 12/14/16/18/21/24/28/34 > cogs. Microshift has a 12-32 but uses a very wonky 12/13/15/18/21/24/28/32. > A 15

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Road serial number help

I don't have my Riv Readers any more, but the "M" may represent a match-built AR. Or a Riv custom builder (JS, RS, etc.), but I can't think of anyone with an "M" initial. That's not a Waterford serial number. On Monday, June 14, 2021 at 9:53:37 AM UTC-7 aidan...@gmail.com wrote: > Unfortunatel

Beautiful, John. Timeless bike! And I actually prefer the single color paint jobs from the earlier Rivs, I had a light blue Road that I sold that was a single color. I now have an early AR also, but it has a contrasting cream head tube, and I think it makes it a little foppish. Greg On
