Re: [RBW] Re: Waterford Paint

My first custom was Waterford build and painted. The build was very good; the paint was indeed prone to chipping. But that was over 20 years ago; I can't say if their paint today is the same. On Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at 4:38:34 PM UTC-7, Richard L wrote: > I've read on several other foru

[RBW] Re: Waterford Paint

The paint on my Waterford Atlantis is noticeably tougher than the paint on my Taiwanese Betty Foy or Toyo Saluki. So if you are choosing amongst Rivs based on paint toughness the Waterfords seem the clear winner to me. On Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at 6:38:34 PM UTC-5, Richard L wrote: > > I'

My question is out of curiosity. Just wondering if members' experiences are the same as what I've read elsewhere. As with the vast majority of Rivendell owners, I have only good to say about Rivendell. I'm currently not looking for another bike, and if I was it would be a Waterford-built Ri

[RBW] Tour Guide from RBW Headquarters to the Picnic on Sunday?

I'm just throwing this out there to see if anybody would be interested in leading some of out-of-towner's to and from the picnic on Sunday. Someone familiar with BART and the bike routes in SF. I only suggest RBW Headquarters as a starting point because I'm thinking this might be a decent pla

Oh, and I forgot. I'm aware of the other ride from the Marin Headlands, but that is too far of a drive. I will be coming from the Sacramento area. Matt On Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at 5:59:01 PM UTC-7, hangtownmatt wrote: > > I'm just throwing this out there to see if anybody would be int

Richard, I own a 1992 Paramount, original owner, built and painted by Waterford, and a 2007 Waterford, both have excellent paint jobs and are holding up well. Bill On Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at 7:38:34 PM UTC-4, Richard L wrote: > > I've read on several other forums that Waterford paint jo

Re: [RBW] Novels???

Keeping this Riv-centric (books I bought from Riv) I liked *The All of It* because the the story is great and the writing enjoyable, but I stopped reading *Bel Canto* because it was just so dull; just didn't like the writing style or the characters. Also, I really liked *The Song of Hiawatha.* "N

[RBW] non-destructive complete removal of tag in MUSA moleskin shirt - anyone know how?

Clothing tags can almost always be removed by closely cutting next to the fabric (the main material). Use small scissors. The tag will then Frey away comfortably. I happen to hate all tags on all of my clothes so they all come off. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to th

I have a Gunnar (Waterford brand) with a lot chips. But it's my MTB that I crash into trees and rocks and stuff, so not a direct comparison. I think it's a touch softer than my Japanese painted Rivs, but not hugely so (Not going to compare it to a JB Imron paint job). The seat tube is out of spec
