[RBW] Re: Mid-80 steel frames that could be Roadini standins

Here is a Trek 720 but not sure about the size. I needs TLC. I'm not the owner nor do I know the owner but saw it on local Craigslist. https://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/bik/d/smyrna-trek-and-schwinn-one-or-both/7372107618.html Doug On Wednesday, September 15, 2021 at 1:13:54 PM UTC-4 Matt Beeche

Who are these roving hoards of thieves? Why aren't they arrested and prosecuted? I have no tolerance for crime especially against a vulnerable population such as these immigrants who are trying hard to make a living. Doug On Wednesday, September 15, 2021 at 9:39:27 PM UTC-4 Patrick Moore wrote:

I think Riv offers the option of a threadless fork for the Rodeo. Which do you Rodeo owner's prefer? Doug On Monday, September 20, 2021 at 7:29:54 PM UTC-4 Austin B. wrote: > [image: 78447BB8-3CDE-4D78-873B-5A4287F94FEF.jpeg]Here’s my 63cm with a > modern take on components. > > On Monday, Sept

[RBW] Re: Clem Lotto

Well, I bought a lottery ticket for a Clem and now I wait. Not sure how I feel about this system but it does seem a more fair way to sell the limited amount of bikes. This may be the new normal for awhile until the cargo backlog clears up. I read somewhere that the cost per bike to ship by cargo

[RBW] Re: Soma Fab 15% Off Everything Ends Today

I was looking at the saddles that Soma offers and saw the Cardiff Harlech leather saddle. Does anyone here have experience with these especially in comparison with a Brooks saddle? Doug On Monday, October 11, 2021 at 9:00:59 AM UTC-4 Doug H. wrote: > Good to know! Thanks Paul. > Doug &g

[RBW] Leather Saddles Comparison

I posed this question in the Soma 15% off thread but thought it wouldn't be seen there so I'll create a new thread. The Brooks B17 seems to be the standard for leather saddles and I've happily used them for years. I noticed Soma sells the Cardiff Harlech leather saddle at a lower price point as

Laing, Sweet looking bike! How high above the saddle are those handlebars?!? I'd call that a custom swoopy mixte and the orange cables and rack look so good with the frame color. Doug Athens, GA On Monday, October 11, 2021 at 9:23:27 AM UTC-4 lconley wrote: > More pictures > [image: IMG_0490.J

Re: [RBW] New Craigslist/others thread

I considered the 59 Clem L but I really need the 52 at 5"10" and an 83 PBH. I spoke to Grant one day on the phone and he said he rides a 59 and is of similar size to me. It just looks too big although I've not tried one. Doug Athens, GA On Sunday, October 10, 2021 at 1:43:03 PM UTC-4 Erik wrote:
