[RBW] Re: Suspicious? Protovelo for sale on CL

I know the story on this. It was built by Scott States. He owns Discount Muffler and Brakes next door to Riv HQ. You may have seen the blue bike hanging there when you visited. He built the frame to show his brazing skills. I asked him about this and he told me to REPORT THE BIKE AS STOLEN. d..

[RBW] All American Roadeo

Gestating the idea of an All American Roadeo. Is it possible? Would have gone with say an Atlantis, but I think the MUSA quill stem doesn't exist. Roadeo Frame White Industries Crank Phil BB, Spokes & Hubs Chris King Headset Paul Brakes Thomson threadless stem, seatpost Thomson even makes bolts

[RBW] Re: All American Roadeo

I'm aware of the overseas nature of the lugs themselves, figured someone would point that out. Even if you pounded out the lugs here, who knows where the steel came from right? I realized the great lengths you'd have to go to to be totally pure USA, but the thread has been useful so far. I learned

Yes, the slideshow. It makes the homepage heavier than it has to be. Yet it's one of the most loved features of our site, has been for years. The images are downsized to a reasonable level, but you still have to load them any time a new image is added or your cache is cleared. For site speed, I'd l

[RBW] Re: Nuance of the rebate system

Thanks for the comments. I first hand understand the confusion, I set it up! That's why I'm also so proud to announce that it's a'changin. It's currently an overall improvement, methinks, over the OLD WAY of rebates but not perfect I admit so we're sweetening the deal. All the comments make perfec

Hi John, If it's only happening when going no hands... the problem might be not ENOUGH weight (you) on the front of the bike. Your body is the engine, but it's also part of the steering and suspension. It's like taking the shock absorbers off your '64 Impala lowrider and bouncing around at iner

[RBW] Re: Devil's slide tunnel

I rode up Planet of the Apes, down the dirt to the highway then north back through the new tunnel on Saturday. The stretch of road immediately before the tunnel is pretty dicey. No shoulder at all (not an exaggeration, none) and fast traffic taking the blind turns at speed. And once you're out,

Hi Maelcolm, Dave at riv here. About a month ago a customer called mentioning a stolen A Homer Hilsen, didn't have his serial number handy (let that be a lesson!) I told him to come here (the bunch) and post it, don't think he ever did. He'd never heard of the owner's bunch. If you don't mind
