The bars are a Tosco-like Crust-Ronsbikes-Ultraromance prototype. I was told they should be available via Crust in May will be made in Taiwan, not by Nitto. On Thu, Mar 25, 2021 at 9:36 PM Justin wrote: > I may disagree on the bars. I believe they are the upcoming Ultraromance x > Crust supe

Very plausible theory, Jason! Here's another thought: I wonder if this color will be used with several frames, similar to how the deep orange color was used across a bunch of models recently. On Thursday, March 25, 2021 at 8:52:27 PM UTC-4 zac.te...@gmail.com wrote: > Loved that color on t

I have RH Maes Parallels with Shimano 10 spd bar end shifters on my JP Weigle.  They work perfectly.  The brake levers that work the best on those bars are gutted Campagnolo Ergo brifters. On 3/26/21 2:37 AM, Peter Adler wrote: Same thing's true of the RH Parallels, which fit Suntours (and so,

Pretty sure there's also a note on the Riv site about how they don't stock *any* Paul parts and they order from Paul as needed because they're nearby. So likely if you order from Riv you'd face the same availability issues. Pardon my assumptions! Call Riv when they open? On Friday, March 26, 2

Re: [RBW] Re: To My Platypus People!

Looking at the Riv site and the pics and "Standard" build noted there: The rear gearing is shown as 11-34 9 sp (my favorite!) but the R90 Sunrace mech in the picture will only do 11-28. Possibly, the bike will ship with a different rear unit. Sunrace does make an 11-34 capable MTB rear deraill

Re: [RBW] Re: To My Platypus People!

As someone who's getting a 60cm olive green, I can't wait to see that size and color either! I hope the 60cm look as nicely proportioned as the smaller ones. I always thought the 60cm Cheviot looked so gangly and awkward compared to the smaller sizes. On Friday, March 26, 2021 at 10:39:22 AM UT

[RBW] WTB: Silver Chainring Guard 42T

Looking to buy the Silver Chainring Guard that Riv makes in the 42T size. Mostly because I think it looks cool, also because I don't really want to buy a new set of chainring bolts for the old Sugino crank that I'm converting to 1x. Riv has been out of stock forever and I'm tired of waiting. An

Leah: Greg has chosen to go down the single speed route instead and is currently building up a surly cross check, so for now we only have one matching set of bikes. :) Pancake: some lovely photos the Cheviot! I think it is something about the head tube length that makes it look extra long. But
