Joe, so hipster! I didn’t think of this but if it makes me cool in any way, I’ll claim it. Though deep down, I’m thinking about how trashed my bike is going to be, and how I don’t know how to clean cassettes… What a pretender. On Friday, April 21, 2023 at 10:14:55 PM UTC-4 Joe Bernard wrote: >

[RBW] Re: Handlebar Recommendations Pls?

Having experience with debilitating inner sit bone pain, what worked for me is going long(stretched) and low and using your quadriceps more, which may involve moving your saddle forward and even a different saddle that favors that favors that position. Much more of a road like position, but with

[RBW] Re: Handlebar Recommendations Pls?

Apologies for the tardy reply, Spectrum decided we didn't want internet last night! But wow, thanks Garth & everyone else for your thoughtful & insightful responses. I do think that stretched out more is going to be the 1 st step here and the bars will be part of that. I also have a collection

[RBW] Re: Handlebar Recommendations Pls?

Instead of switching out the bars, I’d experiment on a ride by grabbing the more forward part of the handlebars. If that alleviates the issue, then I’d even say a longer stem might do the trick. Then I’d go to bars. Just a thought. On Saturday, April 22, 2023 at 7:12:44 AM UTC-6 philipr...@gma

[RBW] Rivendell paint color repetition: Your thoughts

Hello friends — I've noticed that over the past few years Rivendell have been using some of the same paint colors on many frames through several production runs. If there's been a discussion of this practice, I've missed it. I can't quite put my finger on it but something about the same paint

[RBW] Re: Rivendell paint color repetition: Your thoughts

Eric, The current gold for the Homer is lighter than the gold for the Susie in the current photos. The Homer is more like butterscotch in the sun. It could be the same shade though as some of the Homer photos are on the high exposure side, and well no images ever looks exactly the same twice !

[RBW] Re: Rivendell paint color repetition: Your thoughts

I generally like the colors, and like that they cross several models so you don't have to pick a specific frame to get the color you want. BUT..two of the best bike colors ever were on the Bridgestone RB-1. We need bright red and yellow Rivs! On Saturday, April 22, 2023 at 1:39:48 PM UTC-7 eri

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell paint color repetition: Your thoughts

Agreed. I love the Harvest/Dark Gold colors, and the old Appolossa Mustard is so lovely that if one ever surfaced in my size, I would recklessly snatch it up on principle. Normally green is my go to, but I was ever-so-slightly disappointed that LimeOlive had made its way to another model so soon.

I think we’ve had enough mermaid and RBW Blue. I like the colors - I’ve got a mermaid Platypus and a RBW Blue Clem - but there are a lot of Riv models in mermaid and RBW Blue. I would like to see a pearlescent pink mixte or step through one day. I know pinks are just totally taboo, but I stil
