[RBW] Re: Jones and Hunq

I have both: - a 26" 48cm hunqapillar with either 2.1" smart sams or rat trap pass tires and albastache bars (have tried a MAP and Jones bars on it though) used as an allrounder, camping, and mixed ride bike - and a steel jones 29er diamond frame w/ truss fork and carbon jones b

[RBW] FS: Docena Swift bag and B17 Special saddle

I have a camo Docena bag I picked up from Ocean Air Cycles this summer and is like new, used on 2 short rides. I prefer the basket and shopsack and just don't generally find I have that much stuff to carry. $285 new plus shipping and wait time. $225 shipped? Also a B17 Special saddle I bought f

[RBW] Re: Handlebar suggestions for the Hunq

I cast my vote for the Jones H-Bar if you're doing a lot of single track. As Bob K mentioned you need to do an adapter. I did it for a while and it worked great. The only reason I changed was because I got a Jones bike w/ H bar's and all my bikes have to have different handlebars ;). There's ton

[RBW] WTB: 700c wheelset 130mm and sugino double crank

I found an A23 wheelset on the ibob list for a good price. I think for the crank I'm going to repurpose a Sugino XD2 crank for now and keep my eye out for a (likely new) 46/30 crank, unless someone has something ;). On Sunday, January 1, 2017 at 5:31:20 PM UTC-8, bo richardson wrote: > > i have

[RBW] Re: PSA: Good price on a Bay Area Atlantis

That's a steal at that price. It'll likely go unnoticed for now as Atlantis is spelled 'Atlanta' and Riv is abbreviated (I just search for Rivendell and would easily miss this). If it's anyone on here you might want to update the listing headline. On Friday, January 6, 2017 at 12:59:00 PM UTC-8

[RBW] New Bike Day (Rosco Road 53cm)

In my never ending quest for a 700c road-ish bike (for my short ass at 5'7") with drop bars and wide (over 33mm) tires I've finally landed on a Rosco Bubbe road! I road the demo a few weeks back and really liked it, it felt more spritely than other Riv drop bar road-ish bikes I've ridden. I've

I talked to someone at HQ about this when picking up my Rosco Rubbe. I think it was just a sample they were playing with, but ultimately it is too expensive for a kid that will grow out of so quickly, at least a fully lugged version would be. The sample was used by someone local for a while and
