Re: [RBW] Re: Wow! What's going on with Rivendell caps going for $$$

They may have zero interest, but if they bid and nobody bids higher, they are obliged to buy it. If they don't, they could lose their access to eBay auctions. In terms of auction outings, that's a tough one. Obviously you are not going to advertise an auction of an item you are interested in bid

I take this auction and similar, like a used mug that went for $55 a month or so ago, as proof Riv needs to revive some of their accessory lines. People want the stuff (myself included) and I know the margin is there to make the endeavor worthwhile. On Saturday, 21 November 2020 at 09:13:41 UT

one more thing to add for city riding. The tread is thick enough to resist minor glass shards from puncturing immediately, but they tend to embed themselves in the tires and eventually puncture the tube if left unattended. Picking over the tires and dislodging glass and other debris is somethin

James, you could order a custom Rivendell and spec it with 135mm horizontal dropouts. I did that with my custom all-rounder. Every once in a while, I swap out all the parts to make it a single. However, I like your idea... so much so, I came up with something to satisfy that itch: Linky Link
