Re: [RBW] Riv Garage Sale hauls

Frankly, I saw you but didn't get a chance to say hello. My haul looks similar to yours (but smaller!) - 2x rims (26" Synergy), a Simworks flared drop bar, a set of QR's, and a Jack Brown tire. I wish I could have bought a wool base layer but I ran out of cash. Greg On S

[RBW] Re: Atlantis Old vs New?

generic ones that Toyo used at that time, so that's one "tell." (But later, Riv must have licensed or bought similar dropouts and stamped them Rivendell, so visually this may not be helpful.) And all WF frames have WF's running serial numbers, so that's a sure way to tell

[RBW] Re: Phil Rivy hub axle OLD 130->126->120 respacing

I did this on an older Phil FW hub. You can buy a shorter axle end piece on the FW side, but there are differences over the years, so you should contact Phil directly and get the one that fits that model. Then you'll have to re-dish the wheel. Greg On Tuesday, May 16, 2023 at 8:28:12 A

[RBW] FS: 56cm Orange Rambouillet - SF Bay Area

use I always that it was a tad too big. I'll have pics this weekend but please contact me off-list if you or anyone you know is interested. I very much prefer a local sale so that I don't have to worry about shipping it but will ship at cost (including professional packing by a shop).

Leah, Your bike is similarly setup to mine. Of course, I changed mine up as well to make it my own; bar end shifters, no rear rack. Anywhoo, gorgeous Clem. If any bike shop makes you or your Rivendell feel inferiors, they don't know bikes. Cheers! On Wed, Jun 3, 2020, 11:00 PM Bicycle Belle Ding

[RBW] PSA: 61cm Heron Touring on SF CL

I hope this isn't against the rules here. There's a clean, nice Heron touring on the SF CL. My recollection is that the colored Heron decal is from the era after Riv sold the rights to someone else (maybe it was Todd K). Anyhow, no relationship with the seller, etc. Greg O

I don't have my Riv Readers any more, but the "M" may represent a match-built AR. Or a Riv custom builder (JS, RS, etc.), but I can't think of anyone with an "M" initial. That's not a Waterford serial number. On Monday, June 14, 2021 at 9:53:37 AM UTC-7 aidan...@gmail.com wrote: > Unfortunatel
