Re: [RBW] New stuff on my Roadeo

1) Slow bike selling season (people gearing up for holidays/recoverying from summer) 2) High starting bid (people don't traul ebay looking for reasonable prices, they want a deal!) 3) Overpriced for a second hand bike, although never built up (my opinion) 4) Don't like threadless or color (I like b

Re: [RBW] Shifting

Hi Kellie, should be a fun bike set up. Any of the friction shifters would work, but the Vaya has a 10 speed cassette. I've found that friction shifting any more than eight gears isn't so much fun. If my bike I would get 10 speed bar ends or Paul Thumbies. On 11/16/13, Kellie Stapleton wrote: > S

98% of the time on the road, but for how long and at what intensity do you ride on any given outing? I like A-bars a lot, but find drops give more positions that I appreciate on rides over an hour. At higher speeds your are quite the wind brake as well. At 10MPH that doesn't matter as much, but if

A GREAT list of observations, Mike! I think I agree with all of them to one degree or another. I have to move high bars to the list of likes as well, especially if you consider that "seat height" is high by the industry standard! I would add: Wald baskets - man those things are great! Zip ties - g

Re: [RBW] Re: New bicycle brand from Merry Sales = New Albion

The Homebrew might just be the go-to bike for when friends ask you "What kind of a bike should I get? I don't want to spend a lot of money..." It's still probably going to be more than they want to spend (usually less than $300), but a real nice alternative to low-end 'eks and 'izeds. http://newalb
