[RBW] Best handlebar width on a 61 Atlantis?

Hi, Building up an Atlantis, and I'm putting Noodles on it. Should I go wider than 44 cm? I'll mostly be using it on roads. Thanks! John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving ema

Selling my year-old size 58 Hunqapillar frame and fork. Purchased from RBW in Feb 2016. Shipping included to CONUS. Frame is in excellent shape except for a knick on the chainstay. I will supply a bottle of touch-up paint purchased from Waterford. Love the bike, but I'm building up a slightly

[RBW] Building up a SON28 Dyno wheel and need help!

Hi, I'm asking my shop to build up a SON28 dyno wheel. It's the standard 36-hole SON28 hub, and I want to use a 700C Atlas rim. What spokes should I order, and how long should they be? Thanks, Bunch! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bu

[RBW] Seatpost size for Atlantis?

Hey folks, The shop building up my Atlantis has informed me that my 27.2 seatpost Nitto S83 is a tad too tight. They're recommending a 27 inch seatpost. Does this jive with what you have on your Atlantis? Thanks, John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group

Re: [RBW] Re: Seatpost size for Atlantis?

Thanks. I'm contacting Rivendell. Here's what's strange: it turns out that the S83 seatpost on my Hunq (which I bought complete from Rivendell) is a 26.8! I'm really hoping a 27.2 will fit. On Monday, January 30, 2017 at 7:17:53 PM UTC-5, Tim wrote: > > John, I would go back to Bill's excellent

Re: [RBW] Re: Seatpost size for Atlantis?

UPDATE: Talked to Riv, and they said sometimes they get a 27 seat tube from Waterford. They immediately sent me the correct seatpost for free (without me even getting a chance to reply). Really awesome service, as always! On Tuesday, January 31, 2017 at 11:02:05 AM UTC-5, John G. wrote

I'm excited for the Roadini, but also nervous about sizes. My PBH is 89.5, and I'm worried the 58 will be too small and the 62 too big. Maybe it's a sign that I should just get a Roadeo... On Wednesday, March 8, 2017 at 6:35:57 AM UTC-5, Tony McG wrote: > > I was hoping that it would be closer
