Re: [RBW] Needed to buy a Suntour Rear Long Cage Derailleur quickly

Thanks Joe. Yeah, 3 rides now, my back is ok so far. Nice to ride. The bike is at the shop, after 10 years it needs a good tune up. I either damaged the derailleur or maybe bent the hanger, I think I prefer the Deore as it is made in Japan, nor sure about the Acera. I have not used a non Sunto

[RBW] Search continues, need to try a 50cm 650b Atlantis.

Brad, from this list was kind was kind enough to let me come over and try out his wife’s 51cm Appaloosa. It has a bit more standover than my 55cm Bleriot and I could probably live with it but I would like a bit more. I’m hoping someone within 2 hours of Springfield, MA might have a 50cm 650b

I have not checked with Harris but will. Analog does not have a 50cm, Maine is a long haul for my back. Thanks, will call harris. On Wed, Jul 8, 2020 at 10:30 AM Rob Kristoff wrote: > Joel, Have you checked with Jason at Maine Bike Works? How about Analog? > (I'm assuming you've already checked

[RBW] WTB: 51cm Allapoosa, Frame only preferred, will consider a full bike..... also Brooks B 17, brown preferred

Color I am flexible on but I have never owned an orange bike so that would be nice. I am also wanting to try a B 17 again as my B68 sometimes feels a bit wide in certain areas. I prefer a brown, the dark brown if possible but let me know what you have. Thanks Joel -- You received this me

[RBW] 50cm Atlantis. 650b

I find it hard to believe there is nobody within 2 hours of Springfield MA with a 650b 50cm Atlantis. It would be such a great help to see and standover one. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group

I was lucky enough to find a kind list member and tries his 51 Appaloosa that I am leaning toward, if one shows up I will snatch it up. Just want to try the 650b Atlantis but until now I did not understand these are new for 2020. On Sun, Jul 12, 2020 at 11:33 AM Bill Lindsay wrote: > How many 5

Re: [RBW] 50cm Atlantis. 650b

Ryan, I ride with Albatross bars. The TT on the Atlantis 650b 50cm and the 51cm Appaloosa are the same. Given that it would be just a touch easier, in my mind, to get the bars higher on the Appaloosa but maybe I am wrong. My standover is a bit more than 80.5. The TT slightly brushed me on the 51

[RBW] Reading saddle threads, B17, Berthoud Mente

I’ve ridden Brooks forever, I had decided to try narrower than my B68 as Oi rubs my inner thigh and is annoying. So I started reading on my old trusty B17. Wow, so many models and opinions, now some discontinued. Then I stumbled onto a few (many) comments and threads on Berthoud saddles. Look
