[RBW] Re: Your pre-80's steel vs. today's steel bikes.

The one I'd really like to try is the Rodriguez Outlaw. They're built here in Seattle and I think they're just about the lightest steel road bike out there. They're light enough that I'd almost be afraid it would end up as a single-use-only product at my 190 lbs. On Sunday, May 25, 2014 12:47:

[RBW] Re: Anything going on in Portland this Sunday?

[RBW] Any truly appealing panniers I'm missing?

I'm really close to pulling the trigger on some Ironweed panniers which seem to be incredible bang-for-the-buck. I've also considered the Sackville and Ostrich models. Any others that I should be considering? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Own
