Agreed...nothing wrong with the Tiagra levers; they work great with M-bars. I use these on my X0-1 with the very nice Shimano CX-70 cantis. The TRP RRLs are great with road bars (Noodle or what have you)...the ergonomics and function are fantastic as Tim says On Thursday, October 8, 2015 at 8:

Re: [RBW] Fender pondering.....

Yup I like those Berthouds with the leather mud flaps too. I have them on my AR and also had them on my Road too but haven't been using them for a couple of years. Actually should put them back on the road because riding in the rain without fenders sucks. I think the Berthouds are actually the

Also ..you could get a Mark Nobilette custom Glorius painted by Riv's local painter for $3000 at one time. so NIB Wilbury for $2100 by Toyo...might be a tad pricey but less than 3K I'd pick a different colour though like a maroon or oxblood http://rivbike.tumblr.com/post/110929133654/things-i

[RBW] Re: My First Date With Clementine

I have to say those bikes are growing on me. I like the black a lot and the OEM parts...Silver cranks and the Clem hubs are good-looking. They're great bikes and it's awesome to see more affordable Rivs. I really like the shot of the bike with the box of Clementine oranges over the rear wheel
