[RBW] Re: Jobst ever say why he didn't wear helmet?

Not wearing a helmet while cycling is right up there with the argument regarding not wearing a seatbelt in a car. What if I can't get out of the car? I have seen rider's heads bounce off pavement with a helmet. They ended up with a concussion, but can you imagine the result if they weren't wear

[RBW] Re: What is a Rivvish bike?

I have owned 4 Riv's and my current is a 59cm Roadeo. To me "Rivish" is finding a bike that you can enjoy riding and also be fairly comforable doing so. Pretty simple. On Wednesday, October 25, 2017 at 1:12:47 PM UTC-7, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > I was at Riv HQ yesterday and had a longish chat wit

Bill, Beautiful build. I am trying to get a feeling for Roadinis. The toptube slopes more than my Roadeo. What size your frame and what is your saddle height? Thanks,Don Compton On Tuesday, October 31, 2017 at 12:47:02 PM UTC-7, William R. wrote: > > I took my first "serious"

[RBW] Re: Roadinis could be arriving any day now?

I currently own a 59cm Roadeo and owned a 60cm Rambouilet in the past. With the exception of the sloping top tube and the extra space for fat tires, the Roadini's geo looks very similar to a Ram. On Sunday, October 15, 2017 at 12:21:34 PM UTC-7, Daniel D. wrote: > > Anxiously awaiting their arri
