[RBW] Re: What's up with welded Nitto parts?

Circles and Blue Lug ship to the US super, super fast. As I mentioned recently on iBOB, I typically receive packages from BL and Circles in fewer days than I do from Rivendell. Sim Works is the in-house brand of Circles, they have stuff custom run mostly by other manufacturers, many in Japan.

Re: [RBW] Re: Jobst Brandt thought experiment: What would he ride today?

Interesting discussion topic, Andrew. I picture Jobst today on a bike very similar to what he ran most of his life. Steel frame, no racks, rim brakes. Maybe a frame that would accommodate wider tires. Here's a picture of Jobst from his last Alpine tour in 2008 (read more here

Re: [RBW] Re: Jobst Brandt thought experiment: What would he ride today?

I remember reading somewhere Jobst thought the 6 speeds on his freewheel were more than enough. And have read in more place's than today's TR/JB piece that Jobst didn't shift very much! Vaguely recall a direct quote from him saying he didn't shift every time the terrain changed. On Tuesday, Ja

Quite nice, John, thank you for sharing! Seems it's held up well over the past decade-plus. And it looks like a fun and gravy ride. Enjoy! On Wednesday, February 1, 2023 at 10:15:44 AM UTC-5 John Johnson wrote: > Really inspiring work, Eric! > > Hope it's okay if I

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa Build Opinions

If between the Billie and Alba I'd go Billie, having run both. Much prefer the longer sweep back of the Billie and greater real estate for shifters, levers and the "hooks" position on the bars which for me is critical for climbing or spirited riding. On Thursday, June 29, 2023 at 2:02:12 PM UT
