[RBW] Re: Stolen SimpleOne and a question

I understand your front rack mounting point preference, it makes it possible to carry a heavier load than you can with a canti mounted rack. Let me know if you're interested in the Azuki. It's a nice frame and it's a shame to have it hanging from the garage rafters. JohnS On Tuesday, May 26,

Hi All, Let's see if I can link the NFE, the Jones, and Rivendell sufficiently to make this on topic. I sold my Hunqapillar to fund my Jones. I really liked the Hunq, but I love the Jones. Very different bikes so not really fair to compare, but for my purposes the Jones is the better option. I

[RBW] Re: Local Rivendell Dealer suggestions for DELMARVA area?

Someone at a shop in the greater DC area who stocked Riv models in the past said Riv effectively wound down their dealer program yeas ago and decided to sell direct. The dealer could buy Rivs at no lower price than anyone else, this person said, so there was no financial reason to stock them.

Wow, that's actually seems like a good price... I've seen them going for much more on eBay... I've been striving to build my own version, and while mine is slightly lighter it's simply not the genuine article...

[RBW] Re: The Swiss Army knife of bicycles

Of course, like so many non-bike specific retailers, they don't tell you the size. There's a question on their Q&A asking for frame size; it's been sitting unanswered for five days. This does not inspire confidence. Peter Adler rides a much fancier home-rolled version of the same thing in Berkel

This comment reminds me of something my wife said the other day. I had found a nice Craigslist mixte she might like, but it was too small for her. I showed her the bike, and said it was too bad the bike was too small for her. She said, "What do you mean?" I said, "The bike, it's very nice, b
