[RBW] Re: Talk Me Out of Building My Own Wheels

Steven, Go for it! I have built, rebuilt and trued up and redished many a wheel. Built my first wheelset using Wilderness Trail Bikes Classic Grease Guard freewheel hubs with Mavic 217, 26" rims for my 1991 Bridgestone MB-0(Zip) frameset. I worked at a bike shop at the time so I had The Bicycl

Patrick, I will take them. I have two fronts that I can pair with the two rears you have. Thanks, Reginald Alexis On Thursday, November 12, 2020 at 5:34:14 PM UTC-6 Patrick Moore wrote: > Front/white clip on, bright; 2 whole and 1 partial button blinkies that > use wafer batteries; old, hac

[RBW] Re: 1996 Riv All Rounder update

John, Nice looking bike. I have a Rivendell Mountain in single color silver from that era I got from Rivendell. It has a sloping top tube. When I ordered it I wanted the option of possibly using dirt drop bars on it. There have been times I wish I would have gotten the cream contrasting painted

Re: [RBW] Re: List of RBW Bikes

I own a Rivendell Mountain. Have owned it since about 1996 when I finally got it from Rivendell. Originally, the Rivendell Mountain was supposed to have its own set of proprietary lug set and fork crown. I am assuming the low number of requests for it didn't justify the cost of making separate

The new Dia-Compe 980 brakes look interesting. I have the original Dia-Compe 980 brakes, http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=D2AA4D24-29A3-4F50-B3CD-C789F21E144E&Enum=117&AbsPos=144 in use on my 1994 Bridgestone MB-1 retro build and on my 1987 Schwinn Voyageur 27" to 700c conversion. Don

[RBW] Re: Would it be fun to have an all SILVER group?

I have had thoughts of rebuilding my Rivendell Mountain with not necessarily Rivendell Silver parts, but with Rivendell designed or special parts like the Phil Wood Rivvy hubs, Rivendell Grip King/MKS Lambda pedals, Silver thumb shifters. My bike is built with a mix of late generation SunTour X

[RBW] Re: Would it be fun to have an all SILVER group?

I thought I had some on my phone, but I don't of that bike. Will have to take some pics and post them. I know that Sarah at Omaha Bicycle Company took some photos a few years ago and posted them on facebook, instagram or sum such, but not of the full bike. Will try to get that done soon. Regin

Re: [RBW] Recomendations For Cycling-Specific Vehicle

The Honda Element seems to be a big go to for shop owners. A shop owner friend has one. She had a company owned one at the prior shop she managed and fell in love with it. Her prior car was a Subaru Outback. Another shop owner friend has one also. Twelve years ago when I was forced to look for

Joe, Frankendini 2 looks good. I meant to post when you had picks of the original build with the original Softride stem. I think that one was the warranty recall stem. I had gotten one, used and Softride warrantied it and I got a gold aluminum Aheadset style one as a replacement. There was an

[RBW] Re: Quick removal of full-coverage fenders

A number of years ago Bontrager (Trek) had a truly full coverage, quick release fender. They only had it for about 3 years and discontinued it. I worked for a Trek dealer at the time and it looked like a good product. It seemed to work well. Don't know if the test of time determined they didn't
