I'm forwarding the email on to a few folks who are not on the mailing list but know about the company. Not a chain letter, exactly, but can't hurt. On Wednesday, February 21, 2018 at 7:38:03 PM UTC-5, Chris Birkenmaier wrote: > > I was just in Ri s website and saw their request for their loyal

Re: [RBW] Chroming a Rivendell?

Agree, besides the cost, there's the maintenance. Yes, chrome does require some upkeep. I recently bought a used Ron Cooper bike with chrome fork. The chrome fork probably isn't original, but it had a nice layer of rust on it. Using a stainless scrubber, I was able to remove most of the rust wit

[RBW] Roadini vs Homer

It's a good thing that 54 Roadini demo is blue instead of grilver or I would probably have it in addition to the Hail Mary. Thankfully, I don't need another blue as I already have my Homer. I don't really have room for another bike in my RV either. But, if it were grilver, I might have to find a

[RBW] Re: Roadini vs Homer

I think the lighter bike feels different enough to warrant having it. I bought a used Riv Custom off the this list as a partner to my fendered and dyno equipped Homer. There is a bout a 7lb difference between them, so not really a huge difference but the Custom gives a different feel when riding

[RBW] Chroming a Rivendell?

My understanding is chrome is old school and very environmentally hazardous. You can powder coat bikes now to look chrome. Do that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails fr

[RBW] Re: Chroming a Rivendell?

I read one of Tony Oliver's books, mostly about touring bikes if I recall. I do recall that he was against chrome on a bicycle, the reasoning that it actually weakened the metal as well as adding unnecessary cost. I'm going from memory, so I may have misremembered the reasoning against chrome,

Welp, I just bought a couple. They said that all they needed was for a third of 15,000 people to buy one $10 credit. They are off to a good start here, so I am completely optimistic that Riv can ride out the storm. This kind of thing builds character, don't you know. . -- You received this

I'm in. I'd just ordered some parts the other day, are still enroute; there were a few things they didn't have in stock, I had to order from elsewhere. But I'm suddenly wishing I'd been able to have been patient and waited until they restocked and bought from them instead of elsewhere. I
