Re: [RBW] Re: Just Pics from Your Good Ride Thread

Hi Lithocarpus, I recognize that gate in the first photo - that's where the dirt connector from behind the monastery on Redwood Rd spits out onto Partrick Rd up near the top. Do you ever ride that? Technically private property (I think) but it's mighty remote from people (and the hiker gate was

Re: [RBW] Re: For salvage sale, Ibis Cousin IT tandem

Hi Rob, I did get in touch with Ibis, about finding decals (there are! chuckibis.com ) I'm glad it's going to get fixed but I just won't be able to keep it - no room! But I didn't want to see the frame scrapped and parts cannibalized. Looking for a good home for it, maybe somebody with young ki

Re: [RBW] Re: For salvage sale, Ibis Cousin IT tandem

Hi Corwin, Just spoke with Bernie's wife Mel yesterday. Sent them photos; they're quoting the repair and paint. Turns out you can still get NOS decals for these! http://chuckibis.com/decals/ I liked working with Bernie for the stem - he had me go buy a strong-looking 1 1/8" quill stem and he th

Thanks Brett, it can't hurt to check the seatpost. This is a Nitto lugged steel post in my Hunqapillar, and well greased inside the seat tube but I'm going to revisit this Cheers On Thu, Jul 11, 2019 at 11:16 AM Brett Callahan wrote: > Seconding what Steve said. If there's no click when yo

Thanks Alex! Always a good idea. Yeah, I've got Silver triple cranks on this bike, nice and snug. I check them periodically, nothing worse / more preventable than rounding out the inside of the arm from being too loose -br On Wed, Jul 10, 2019 at 4:03 PM Alex Wirth- Owner, Yellow Haus Bicycl

Foodadas are good 👍, thanks Mike This rack arrives today, so I haven't seen it up close yet. It its photo, however, looks like there is some kind of eyelet on the RH strut. I've got a feeling I'll be able to make a bracket out of some old rack hardware Cheers, Bill, Napa CA On Thu, Jan 31,

Re: [RBW] Re: Self-diagnosed Riv addicts (some) since 1994.

Hi Patrick, Oh man, I loved that XO-1 Feels lighter by comparison with those 26" wheels. Quick, low profile, nice handling. Great for shorter tours (like max 4 days) and just plain fun to ride. Only downside was that the 59cm seat tube was always a bit small for my 6'3" height, and the top
