Re: [RBW] Anodized Silver vs Polished Components. Which do you prefer?

I have a titanium bike completely outfitted in polished goodies (Paul, White Industries, Velocity), and I have to say it’s gorgeous. I won this bike in a raffle and never would have treated myself to such luxury but it’s really a sight to see. I have the regular silver Paul brake levers and thumbie

Ok thanks, I have to think about it as I’m supposed to be on a spending moratorium as I just bought another bike but really want a black one for it. No I have an Atlantis but the bike I bought is a Kelly singlespeed. > On Apr 12, 2021, at 09:40, Roberta wrote: > >  > Hi, Liz

Re: [RBW] Bstone UNO in Newsletter

Cool bike that I see on Craigslist pretty regularly with no price (price is in the Blahg, I see). Makes me really interested in how the Roaduno will end up based on what Grant says here. (I’m back on a singlespeed after many years and super happy about it, so there’s probably no way I’m getting

Re: [RBW] Re: My Betty Foy after 10 years

I loved reading this. My early-ish Atlantis has an amputated rack braze-on from a mishap we don’t discuss, and plenty of nicks and scratches. There’s something about it being an “all rounder” that leads me to just use it without being to concerned about damaging the finish. I love seeing hard us

Well I wanted the Mojave for my son’s bike-to-school commuter bike because he carries a 32oz “Manna” insulated bottle (from Costco), but it turns out to be narrower than other 32oz bottles (according to the Mojave fit chart) at 2.75” diameter. I was trying to avoid a bottle carrier that’s easil
