They are just so durned good looking I am trying to figure out where I could put them! Ornamentation! Might try a single stem shifter on my 1x8 Appaloosa. Bill (and anyone else): What are good options for mounting a single one on a nitto stem? On Thursday, November 3, 2016 at 3:20:42 PM UTC-5,

[RBW] Drop bars for a kid: help me out.

I got a little Clem for my kids last year when they came out. It is a great bike. My oldest son has been riding it BUT has just been so enamored by drop bars on bikes whenever he sees them. He does not QUITE appreciate how cool his bob-ish setup on the Clem is, no matter how many times the bike

our price range. What was off with the 520 fit? Continuing to ponder with one month until Christmas, Edwin On Monday, November 21, 2016 at 9:50:04 AM UTC-6, Edwin W wrote: > > I got a little Clem for my kids last year when they came out. It is a > great bike. My oldest son has been ridi

[RBW] Re: Front Rack Advice

I have had the same experience: Mark's rack is relatively strong, the basket is relatively weak. It is a "wobbly" kind of weak rather than a "snap" kind of weak, in general, but Manny posted some pictures of his rack where the wire snapped. I think the key to prevent that is not have the basket

[RBW] Re: How do you say beausage in Japanese?

Seeing that yo no bi is made up of two Chinese characters made me think, "there must be a great chinese saying (cheng yu) that explains beausage!" But I couldn't think of one. I know there are some chinese speakers out there who may think of one. Edwin On Wednesday, January 27, 2016 at 6:02:20

Call Peter White and have him walk you through the process. He will identify the best light for your needs and budget and if anything goes wrong in the future he will help you sort it out. Big PW fan, Edwin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Own

Re: [RBW] Re: Dyno light recommendation

I don't know the weight penalty. I do know the price penalty, and it is a small price, for me, to never charge lights. Never have a battery run out. Have lights on all ride every ride. What percentage of my rides are at night? Every evening commute needs lights for months at a time. So I like dy

Worth the $10, even with all the stuff I disagree with. Not that much, of course, if I'm on this list!! Edwin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email

[RBW] Re: Choco bars buyable right now!

I think in the Reader Grant was addressing me directly when he wrote something like "Choco bars are great but too similar to the Albatross to replace Albas with Choco." Good for my bank account. On a side note, my iPhone wants to autocorrect Choco with Chico. Is that what all the bike riders i

Re: [RBW] Clems for Kids

Erl, Forget the bike, is that a Jets fan riding it??? I got a Clem for my oldest son. He is almost 10 and just barely fits on the the small one. Here are some pics. https://www.flickr.com/photos/90785999@N06/albums/72157661094042625 There aren't many great, practical bikes for this size kid ou

[RBW] Bike quiver update focusing on my A. Homer Hilsen

One little aesthetic change I made recently (sorry no photos) was that I put my computer on the top tube. I like the look of the stem - even a lil' feller like your 5 cm is so much better naked! Edwin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bun

[RBW] Crack in the Sam headtube??

I was performing a very rare bike cleaning and saw a bit of a chip in the paint of the headtube on my Sam. It is a 60cm, single top tube orange one with side pulls, if you are interested. I am the second ownder and have put 5000 or so miles on it over the last three years. Can you all take a loo

[RBW] Re: Crack in the Sam headtube??

First of all, thanks to all of you for your help, even when it is contradictory - "sand some more", no "don't sand any more!" "Send to Riv" vs "no, don't send to Riv yet!" I am going to see if there is a local frame builder here (there was, but I haven't heard of him for awhile), consult with R

Pictures, please! I just bought one for my sister and her husband and heard they like it on their non-Rivendells. Edwin On Monday, March 14, 2016 at 10:35:46 AM UTC-5, Dave wrote: > > Hi folks, > > Picked up a Yepp Mini stem-mounted child seat this weekend for my 55cm > Cheviot and was surprise

Re: [RBW] Yepp Mini on Rivendell experiences?

Dave, That is one cute kid!! I think there is something nice about having the kid up front so you can chit chat with him, but if he's too close, it will be annoying. Raising the stem would raise you up and move you back a bit, and boscos would do that more, but at a cost and for a hassle. Goo
