[RBW] Re: Custom Frame Raffle

I am building the wife's Betty Foy and Atlantis up right now, so no troubles getting to $300. Trying to figure out what kind of bike I would build if I won would be much more difficult. I have an Atlantis and Roadeo and I love both. I would most likely have a custom Atlantis built and pass mine

[RBW] Re: Custom Frame Raffle

This is only speculation, but purchasing a gift certificate would make sense to count towards the $300 as they're looking to get $ in the door. Using a gift certificate that was previously purchased would not count. Of course, this hasn't helped, but I'm hoping since my order contained a gift

I'll make sure the Mountain Fixte frame has a custom phone-holder braze-on. But been thinking, and I'm pretty sure any "my next bike" will have an IGH... now to see if there's yet an IGH that also features a robust lockout mechanism, to convert to fixed-gear on the fly. Thanks for confirming wh

There's a miraculous new device, that enables real time verbal communication. It's called the telephone. :) I called Riv for you guys, talked to Brian, and he confirmed that ANY December invoice that totals more than $300 gets your name in the hat. Buy a $300 gift certificate today (or 6 $50

+1 on Andrew's query. Does a gift cert count? Also, do you get the 5% rebate on gift certificates you purchase? (I'm pretty sure there's no rebate on GC's when you redeem them, but correct me if I'm wrong) -Pete in CT On Friday, December 7, 2012 1:46:15 PM UTC-5, BSWP wrote: > > That would al

That would also solve the problem where things one might wish to buy now, toward the raffle, are on backorder. Does anyone from RBW wish to clarify if a $300 gift certificate is acccepted as a raffle entry? - Andrew, Berkeley On Thursday, December 6, 2012 12:05:05 PM UTC-8, William wrote: > > E

[RBW] Re: Custom Frame Raffle

Even a person who doesn't need anything at the moment should buy themself a $300 gift certificate. Buy the $300 Gift Certificate, hand it to your wife and tell her "This is what I want for Christmas". It's perfect! On Wednesday, December 5, 2012 9:15:37 PM UTC-8, BSWP wrote: > > That would be

This is such a great idea! I hope it generates tons of sales so riv can keep bringing out the coolest ideas on wheels (and bags), and needless to say, whoever wins this is winning BIG time. The "mountain mixte" and "mountain fixed gear" ideas sound cool. On Tuesday, December 4, 2012 4

I'd do a version of that Mountain Fixie that was such a troublesome truck. Basically a fixed gear fool-around-in-the-woods bike. Able to take 60mm Big Apples and fenders, like a super-attractive version of my industrial-ugly Gravel Roadster

Boy, it's pretty easy to come up with $300 in my shopping cart, even though there's not a single thing I "need"! If I won, I'd probably basically end up with a Roadeo fattened-up to hold me. With fancy paint, of course... My country and utility bike needs are pretty much covered already at this
