Congratulations. Isn’t the first ride magical? The good news is that magic
feeling doesn’t go away. Happy riding.

Looks like a fun ride. I think Riv riders are some of the nicest people
around.

Thank you, Kim. This is so interesting to me. I find the B-17’s and other
saddles of similar width, like the Selle Anatomica, to be a bit too narrow.
Currently I’m happy riding B67 on my commuter and in-town bike, and B68s
on my Rivs, However, I’d like to have a less fancy saddle on my

Hi Erik. I don’t have one (Tosco-Moose) but I have almost made the same request several times since building my Gus. I would still be curious to try one but think I’ve settled on the next best alternative, the Nitto V-5 stem. It’s very solid with my 580 Bosco bar & only slips a little if I forget t
Something to consider is that, unlike the normal Bosco, the normal Tosco
has a knurled section at the clamp area and is oversized 31.8 diameter. I

slip on the Bosco. The it's the only version of that bar that I could g

I think it was going to come as a complete, right?
I want to hear from this group how they would build a reasonably priced,
reasonable quality complete.
And how much will it cost?
Mine would be (mostly pulling from Riv's website):
Brake Levers: Shimano
Brakes: Shimano DXR
Wheels: basic wheelse
Good points. Although, I think the only Tosco with the 31.8 clamp size is the 650 wide one? I had that one on my Clem & agree it is very solid. It was just too wide for me.Sent from my iPhoneOn Aug 29, 2023, at 12:00 PM, iamkeith wrote:Something to consider is that, unlike the normal Bosco, the n
Correct Richard... the Tosco with the 31.8 dia. is the widest one (650mm).
That's what I have on my Gus and it's plenty stiff with my Thomson 110
stem. I love wide bars, so that width is perfect for me!

Thanks gents.
That shipping is murder but happy to support BL and too impatient to wait.

RBW List Members,
I had a chance to ride the first day of RAGBRAI late last month. Things
aligned that I had that weekend off and then discovered the first day of
RAGBRAI was that Sunday and that it was the 50th anniversary of the ride.
Found out that late Friday and thought about it. After thi
I've looked at just using a beefier stem (I currently run a Paul Boxcar on
the Gus) and a regular Tosco with a 31.8 clamp diameter, but part of this
search is to complete my "moose" collection: I have a bullmoose, a
boscomoose, and chocomoose on different bikes. I love the look and the
beefine
I have the Nitto V5 on my Tanglefoot Moonshiner. I've tested both the Choco
and Billie bar through some of western New England's rockiest rock gardens.
The stem does a great job, and neither bar has slipped.
I believe the V5 is designed to perfectly fit Nitto bars that have that
100mm wide by 2
I always find myself (uncomfortably) sitting far back on Brooks and similar
saddles, on the rivits or hard support structure. Or I find myself sliding
into the nose. I wonder if the wider and slightly more modern shape of this
new RBW saddle would be helpful. Not running bars above saddle height
Leah! If you think my Clem is wild, wait 'til you see my gravel bike 🤣 it
looks like it's straight outta 1985.
Tomorrow I will grab a nice shot of the Clem under the sun on my commute
home. It will be nice on the LFP tomorrow.

Selling 64cm Clem L which I got last year from a list member. Great shape,
no dings, some light scratches and a few small ships in the paint. I love
the bike, but have another, semi-custom bike which I'm using more for this
purpose. I've used it only around town, and it's really great for that
I found a nice tall Shogun at a garage sale for our pal Matt Eiford. He
got busted up working as a bouncer. I have an albatross bar for his bike
and need a 10 cm dirt drop stem.
I can pay cash but would rather trade for it to keep the cost to him down.
I have some new Shimano clip in pedals, bar
