[RBW] Re: Canadian's in the house

I am in Toronto and I have seen two in the wild, and one that I know someone owns. I have my Sam Hillborne which I call my picnic bike and my wife has her Betty Foy. Thomas On Tuesday, July 16, 2024 at 9:08:03 PM UTC-4 John Rinker wrote: > The Map of Rivendell Riders >

[RBW] FS- Winter Cycles frame 55 cm

I wanted Eric to build me a fast version of my Rivendell Sam Hillborne but with disc brakes and thru axles. It isn't exactly what I wanted so it needs to go. For your consideration a custom steel hand made lugged frame with hand carved lugs. Modern design elements such as disk brakes and thru

The frame is sold. I received an offer that was enough to take it out of my hands. On Tuesday, May 25, 2021 at 11:46:36 AM UTC-4 Thomas Blak wrote: > I wanted Eric to build me a fast version of my Rivendell Sam Hillborne but > with disc brakes and thru axles. It isn't exactly wh

Re: [RBW] Re: Suggestions for better braking?

Late to the game on this one but I specifically came back to this group because I have always had problems with the braking performance with my Sam and 559 brakes. To put it bluntly this is the worst braking setup I have ever had, though my Brompton is a close second. I have tried almost everyt

There is something calming when you watch a build video like that. Thanks for sharing. On Wednesday, January 5, 2022 at 9:19:49 AM UTC-5 Ryan wrote: > Nice! It's fun watching someone who clearly knows what they're doing build > a bike. You make it look so easy! Love the blue accents with the or

Don't build it up, that would be a money losing proposition. Sell what you have in the box. Good luck on your sale. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an e

[RBW] Re: Toronto Recommendations.

You will be really close to the Distillery District which to me is the best part of Toronto for visitors. Kensington has been mentioned and it is right beside China Town #1, so you should check that out. Riding along the lake can be quite enjoyable. I

He is not being a tool because of the Timbuktu comment. He is letting the scammers know that the scam of " I will take it, sorry can't meet you after all, just ship it to me scam. I have yet to put something on CL and not have this happen to me. I will meet you at 4:00 and then of course not sh

[RBW] Re: What high security locks are people locking their bikes with?

I use Pitlocks on my Sam and my wife's Betty Foy for both wheels and the seat post. Each bike is then locked with 2 New York Fahgettaboudits, supplemented with a Krypto cable and Kryptonite Evolution. So three U locks per bike. Then they are placed in a bike locker in my condo building with ano

Re: [RBW] Re: What high security locks are people locking their bikes with?

If you are taking about the round keys from Kryptonite, they were phased out well over a decade ago and even then, not all were opened easily. I could never open the three I owned at the time using the pen method.Take your mechanics advice with a grain of salt. Kryptonite and ABUS are the two l
