Hi Patrick, Responded to your i-bob thread but reposting here for posterity: I just tried this out with a new wheelset. The Shimano plug fit on the SON rather nicely, but no luck actually powering the lights. Bummer, that would have been surprisingly cool! Michael SF / CA On Wednesday, June

[RBW] Made in Taiwan AHH?

2018-05-06 Thread Michael, SF/CA
FWIW ordered a MUSA AHH in Feb 2018 with expectations set for a full 6-9 month lead time. To my surprise, the frame showed up at RBW two months after Waterford received the order. Yes, I knew about the MIT AHH (and rode the sample at RBWHQ - it’s awesome!) before I put my deposit down, but I’ve

I'm 135 lbs and I own two bikes: Hunqapillar + A. Homer Hilsen. I used to have a San Marcos, but my plan for years was to own exactly these two Rivendells, so I upgraded as a present to myself for landing a new job. As a fellow lightweight, I'd focus on geometry, tire clearance, brake type, and

I actually found it odd that the frames appeared to be "In Stock" since I knew the made-to-order frames weren't actually sitting in Walnut Creek. With the change in optics, I would now hope that the 63 Roadeo is on a hook in their warehouse, and if I were to put the comically-large-for-me frame

I noticed the lead time-related copy for each frame has been updated for 2018. Lead time estimates on the stouter made-to-order frames (Hunq, Atlantis) have improved to 4-6 months, while it appears they've deliberately withheld estimates for the lighter frames (AHH, Roadeo). Could be the true t

Correction - there is a link to the deposit page in the new 2018 copy for every made to order frame page. Customs still prompt you to contact the crew. On Wednesday, March 7, 2018 at 4:40:33 PM UTC-8, Michael, SF/CA wrote: > > I noticed the lead time-related copy for each frame has been u
