Re: [RBW] Pibal scooter bike

Pretty cool! I could see this being a nice bike to take to the farmer's market/outdoor-shopping etc. The bike can be a bit of a nuisance when trying to walk it through a crowd, and clumsy when trying to reach across it to another stall etc. This design is a bit like an extreme mixte/step-thr

If you are concerned about the integrity of your nitto bars, you can send them to me - I'll even pay the shipping! I'm gonna, um, recycle them. On Monday, March 18, 2013 12:50:43 PM UTC-7, Michael wrote: > > In a cool interview with Nitto exec Mr. Yoshikawa, Grant asks this > question. Nitto

[RBW] Re: Bombadil v. 2.0 and new Fatty Rumpkins

Nice Bat-Mobile! I've thought about converting one of my CXish SS bikes to an IGH bike - so am interested in your experience on gearing range and shifting experience on the Rohloff. What in particular motivated you to go this route - (maintenance? chain-line?) or was it just to trying somethin

Re: [RBW] Re: wanted: large saddlesack

I'm thinking of selling my very large saddlebag as well, but can't remember what exactly was called. Palladin? I got it when it was the largest in the lineup, along with a matching candy-bar bag that I would like to move. Great shape, no damage, let me know if you are interested. -Andy (Oak

Re: "What's the Biggest Advantage of Stem-mounted Shifters?" ... I would say the versatility to change handlebars more easily and the ability pack bikes for shipping with less cable to worry about when folding into the box. Seems like it might be less stable in the rough, and maybe not much be

EDIT: Sorry, to clarify --- the *bike is 54.5cm* not 56cm. I had a brain fart as I am also selling a 56cm RB-1. Also --- the price with the exclusions mentioned is $1500. On Sunday, May 5, 2013 3:06:31 PM UTC-7, Andy Forquer wrote: > > Selling my 54.5cm Rivendell Atlantis, as I am

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Garage Sale - what'd you get?

I picked up a complete toyo-Atlantis (54.5) - minus a seat/post - for a solid deal. A *little* on the large side for me - but I should be able to dial it in shortly. I knew I wouldn't have to be too vulturous given that I was shorter than most folks there, and yet I still broke down and bough

Re: [RBW] Do Pitlocks scratch paint on your seat tube collar?

I think if you are paranoid about your saddle getting stolen by guys carrying hex wrenches, then you should recognize that they could just as easily disassemble the saddle from the post itself. Given the relative value of the saddle, I just loop a piece of vinyl covered steel braided cable, cr

[RBW] Re: RivReviews

However reactive a review may be, I do think it is an undemocratic/counter-productive practice to methodically go through each product in an E-store and scrub criticize every negative reviewer. (In short, fallacy *ad hominem*). My *overall* experience with Rivendell is a *very* positive one.
