Christmas is past, and my son did in fact get me my chainring bolts for Christmas. Today it won't be raining in the Bay Area, so I'm riding today. Tomorrow, Sunday the 29th it is supposed to be raining hard all day so that's when I'll wrap up the Gallop build, most likely. Today's teaser is

As you say, 500g doesn't make a bit of difference. For me, a light build is exactly what it is: a light build. Some people think there is some other point to a light build. Some people think a light build is a fast build. Those people are correct, but the exchange rate is 1MPH per 12 pounds

Hi Bill, thanks for your efforts and have fun with the built. Without considering the claim Riv made on their page, this is still what I would have expected, maybe 100-200g more, but that's ok. The frame has a kickstand plate, a lot of eyelets, a pump peg, pretty lugs and a longer top tube wit

Bill, it's fun to watch your rational and systematic builds and weight limiting considerations. I suspect you're right that most RBW Group members don't weight their bikes. I never have until just a minute ago, when I weighed my most recent project, a size 58 Hunqapillar, out of curiosity. *T

I will go out on a limb and predict that VERY few posts on the RBW Group are of people showing off their lightweight Riv build without pedals. Wink! I think maybe the Roadeo product page might say how Mark A built a Roadeo at 18.5 pounds without pedals, but that's about it. BL in EC On Tues

Sorry for the confusion. I have see people showing bikes without pedals and indicating the weight of the bike. David > On Dec 17, 2024, at 3:33 PM, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > I wouldn't call it an issue. I was just that I was trying to understand the > specifics of your question. It seemed you

I wouldn't call it an issue. I was just that I was trying to understand the specifics of your question. It seemed you were asking just me, but now I understand you are taking a poll, asking everybody to chime in on how they weigh their bikes. My impression of the RBW Group is that most people

Not sure of your issue… I was just wondering as I make my builds and look to see what choices to make, how everyone weighs a bike. Dvid Hays Williamsville, New York > On Dec 17, 2024, at 2:20 PM, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > David asked: "as we enter weight weenie deliberations, what is excluded? >

David asked: "as we enter weight weenie deliberations, what is excluded? Pedals? Saddles?…" I guess that depends on what exactly you mean by "we". If "we" includes David Hays from Williamsville, New York, then by all means enumerate the stuff you want to exclude in the weight weenie build you
