2010-12-17 Thread David Klatte
Many thanks to everyone on the list who helped me pick out some of the bits. This is the 71cm double top tube A. Homer Hilson for a 6'7" rider (me). It arrived safe and sound earlier this week packed just like the rivbike YouTube video shows. My first impression after (re) assembly was OMG, this i

Very nice. The British racing green with the Rivendell cream and lugs look super nice together. David > > From: Stephen S > To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com > Sent: Sat, December 18, 2010 9:33:40 PM > Subject: [RBW] Building up a new Roadeo > > Hey all, > >

[RBW] Frame pump?

2010-12-19 Thread David Klatte
OK, this is probably a really dumb question. You can all feel free to make fun of my ignorance - I won't mind. My new Hilsen has one of those spiky braze-ons for a frame pump. A very long time ago I had an English three speed with a frame pump, but it had two of those spiky braze-ons and the pump

Whoa, really? I am the same height or I might be a touch taller (6'7" everyday), with a pbh of 100, but my fingertip to fingertip is over 200cm. Did you mean 202? You must have. David (71 AHH) On Jan 5, 1:40 pm, AmiSingh wrote: > It's a 69! > > How tall are you Pat?  What's your PBH?  How about

I think it is brilliant. Those people who can shop at the mall for clothing have no idea the weird issues the very tall face. Rivendel is such a tall friendly company that I think there are probably a freakishly disproportionate number of us here. Has anyone tall tried the bike poncho? I'm worried

[RBW] Re: Reading Readers in e-readers?

2011-01-10 Thread David Klatte
For the iPad (or other iDevice), GoodReader is a great choice. It will open PDFs of arbitrary size (even password protected ones) and can function as a shared drive on your network, so you can basically drag and drop your Readers. It can also download PDFs from URLs. David On Jan 9, 7:24 pm, AmiS
