So, what's the latest? Has anyone contacted you with interest? I'd be willing to purchase if the color is awesomelike a sage green or fire engine red with cream accents everywhere! I'm assuming the geometry will be the same given that Grant said there'd be "slight" differences. I'm not too

[RBW] Re: SimpleQuickOneBeam Project - Blue Sky Features - What would you like to see?

The Riv folks have really nailed it with the QB/SO and I can't really think of other ways to improve it. It's a great bike with a solid geometry and it looks beautiful. I'm including a list of preferences (colors, brakes, name, brakes, rackability, hubs) that could very well guarantee that I'd p

RE: [RBW] New (to me) Bombadil build

Wow, just stumbled across these pics. When do you have time to ride all of those bikes? My SM gets major neglect because I spend all my time on my Hillborne. (-: -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this grou

[RBW] Re: Beausage - Patagonia

I really liked the video and identified with a lot of the people portrayed in the film. My daughter is only a half a year old now, but I can imagine passing down one of bikes to her when she's tall/old enough. The idea of being mindful of your footprint is something I think is relevant in our t

Re: [RBW] Re: Atlantis Redo

Great looking bike! Hi class all the way round... I've never heard of the stainless washer facing, it looks great. Is it to lengthen the life if the braze on's or more for appearance? What size frame is it? I'm curious how well it packs up with those S&S couplers for tra

[RBW] Re: Stuff that's worked for me this year, and stuff that hasn't, a hodge-podge review with Rivish content.

ng one on my Atlantis b/c Peter White was so insistant that the Cyo Premium mounted anywhere but on the fork crown was a waste of time and money... I've got a Nitto M12 rack and basket waiting but I'll have to play with some alternate light placement at the same time. Great hearing yo

Re: [RBW] Re: Atlantis Redo

Very cool, I've been told my 64 would be a tight fit if possibly a no go all together... Great looking bike and having put so much time in yourself I'm sure it is all the more special. Happy riding! On Dec 6, 2013 9:46 AM, "Ken Yokanovich" wrote: > The mounts for fenders and racks seem to alway

Nice job so far, the Rob Jackson in your stream is a real looker to! Love the on-one bars with the Paul's thumbies. -- 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] Which bike gets the winter tires?

o get 700c tires to outfit the Atlantis, or to go 26" for either the MB-5 or XO-3. In leaning towards the XO-3 and making it the dedicated snow and ice bike through the winter. As always I'm curious what the group thinks... Tony -- You received this message because you are subs

Re: [RBW] Which bike gets the winter tires?

Good point, though if the trails had salt then the need for tires would be less. But I think Michael's point is another one for a non-riv dedicated winter tires bike. Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
