[RBW] FS: Blue 56 Rambouillet, $ 700 f/f/hs

I have an orange 58 that I love. I bought this wanting to compare the ride of the 56 and 58 but haven't built it up, and now I'm getting ready to move. In the next 30 days, I will be in SF (where I live now), LA (where I'll be visiting), and Portland (where I'm moving). I can deliver to any of t

[RBW] s24 Suggestions in Marin? Leaving from SF?

Getting ready to do our first s24 north from San Francisco later this month. Any suggestions for good campspots? Leaving late afternoon, mid-week, and back to work the next a.m., so Sam Taylor seems a bit too far. Does this seem correct to anyone who has done this more often? Would appreciate a

[RBW] Orange Atlantis in SF

On Sunday, say a beautiful orange Atlantis riding in SF near the Golden Gate Bridge. Any information on the owner. I would be curious as to the exact color. I checked the cyclofiend site but only one orange, and it looks to be housed in Seattle. http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc/2006/cc119-kellyp050

[RBW] Re: Fitting my SimpleOne not so simple

Have you tried different bars? I have a Nitto Torsion bar, a flat bar with a little backsweep (made for Surly) on my Simple One (58), and I really enjoy the way that it rides. I may narrow it a little at some point, but the handling and comfort are excellent as is. On Tuesday, August 21, 2012 1

You can see my intentions from the photos. I have an orange 58 Rambouillet, but I was going to experiment with building up a 56 with a nice pair of 650b wheels (synergy rims, red SON dynamo front, red Chris King rear, red Hetres). I thought the red and blue worked well together. Alas, I haven't

Marty, Thank you for posting this. I have a (sold to me as) 56 that I bought used and want to set up as a 650b. The ad looks like a very similar set up. I can't see the derailleurs in the photo. Are they Huret? And if anyone wants to chime in, are the Huret's worth keeping or should I change

[RBW] Re: Single speed handlebar recommendations

Tom, I used my S1 for a few years as a daily commuter in SF and Portland. Your use sounds different, but for riding in the city, a pair of Nitto Dove bars were excellent. Less width made busier, more crowded streets easy to navigate. With no need for bar end shifters, the less expensive Dove bar

Whatever this may have been, and whatever you may think about it, it was in no way theft. Theft always requires an intent to permanently deprive the owner of the property. Here, the bike was in, some sense, abandoned. A list member secured the bike and is making earnest efforts to find the own
