I think I have some Tiagra levers, don't remember getting rid of them. If I

I always thought this would be cool, find a cheapish (yeah right), kinda
beat All-Rounder and set it up like an MTB. Certainly going down a size or
even two should look great within that constraint. Not typical RBW style,

For an upright bar setup, with typical RBW bar height, the frame size has
very little to do with anything. A tall Nitto stem and upright bars will

Howdy folks.
I read thru this whole thing, and to my surprise nobody mentioned what I
would do. I looked up the grips on RBW.com, and they seem to be some kind
of rubbery stuff? Anyway, every time I wanted to remove grips that
wouldn’t come off just from pulling toward the end of the bar with my
Howdy folks.
I’m not really in the market, but to me the lugged Roadini is the bike
Grant would’ve built in the mid 90s if you really could do a bike like that
then. I don’t think he ever really cared about Waterford or whoever
building Rivendell’s, they are just the only ones he could get to do i
Howdy folks.
I too have one of these, it’s been on my Joe Starck Riv most of the time
since I built it in ‘99. I can’t swear to it, but I think Rivendell was
the first to offer a B.17 with Ti rails and they only came in gray.
To the OP, I would totally use it if I were you…

What color of padded Newbaums shellacs best to match a honey Brooks? I

Also, do I need 1 or 2 rolls to wrap a Chocomoose in front of thumby
shifters?
Thanks, Doug

Hey Joyce.
I can’t think of any reason you wouldn’t install the widest fenders that
fit your fork blades/brakes and rear stays. You can always run a slightly
narrower tire, it gives you the most versatility, and the weight is not
going to be consequentially different. It should be as simple as me
