for some reason I'm on a low-ebb on my tendency to photo document everythingand I was desperate to get a huge pile of cardboard out to the recycling center, so I sliced up that box setup rapidly and didn't take any photos. :( BL in EC P.S. the Boomerang Rosco Bubbe road is now completely

Heck Bill, seems like the shipping features are worthy of a photo or two. 1 boomerang Riv in the stable (Roadeo). Mike SLO CA On Thursday, October 19, 2023 at 11:37:39 AM UTC-7 Bill Lindsay wrote: > I received my second "boomerang Riv" yesterday. My definition of a > "boomerang Riv" is: > > -I

[RBW] Re: WTB: Crumbworks KT (Silver)

I knew I didn't have one, because I didn't know what a Crumbworks KT even is. Just in case anybody else is curious here's what I found: I cut and pasted "Crumbworks KT" into the googler and it appears that is a wide Nitto handlebar. Crust has it in black and silver. It's a wide (720mm)

Re: [RBW] Re: Who’s getting a Platypus tomorrow?

It maybe so. If I were buying for myself I’d buy a green. I was kind of surprised that my wife liked the green over purple but she did. I agree with her that it’ll probably look best with her purple Paul brake levers and thumbes though. I’m thinking about getting a Clem complete out of the

[RBW] Re: How do you fix your leather saddle creaks and squeaks?

Glad you were able to finally pinpoint and resolve it! Been there a few times in recent years among various builds. One was a known creaky sprung saddle (Conquest) that, similar to your approach, was eliminated with some extra Proofide worked around the metal frame. That particular saddle

[RBW] How do you fix your leather saddle creaks and squeaks?

At some point this week, my new (to me) Atlantis developed a creak whenever I pedaled. While standing and cranking, nothing... so saddle or seatpost, right? The Brooks B17 I have on it is very old and broken in, and it has never creaked before, but I decided to take it off, greased the rails, a

Re: [RBW] Re: Best way to arrange 2-cog manual shifting for "single speed" disc braked bicycle

Thanks, John. I'd not seen that before. Funny, the Monocog has track ends with considerable room for axle movement but it has the old fashioned caliper mounts with no such adjustment. Perhaps that answers my question as two whether the caliper could accommodate 1/4" of axle movement. On Thu, Oct

Re: [RBW] Re: Who’s getting a Platypus tomorrow?

Maybe this is a good indication that the purple color is just not popular. It's had its run, so maybe this should be the last for it. On Friday, October 20, 2023 at 8:54:56 AM UTC-4 Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: > I am also surprised there are so many frames left. And we don’t know how >

Re: [RBW] Re: Who’s getting a Platypus tomorrow?

I am also surprised there are so many frames left. And we don’t know how many completes we started with so not sure how many sold. But the 55 Sergio complete is long gone and some of the other sizes and colors of the completes are dwindling. At any rate, I am so excited for more people to

Congrats to both you and your wife! Will said he felt like it would be a quick sell especially on the frames alone but it appears there is still stock of the frames. He said they were only getting like 20-some of those. Either sales have finally come way down from their peak OR (and probably

Got the 50cm ordered. Now we wait. I’m the meantime I think I’ll sit down with her and see which bits she’s like to use on this build to make it her own so that I can start looking around for them. On Friday, October 20, 2023 at 2:39:09 AM UTC-4 schralp wrote: > I was in a similar situation

[RBW] Re: Who’s getting a Platypus tomorrow?

I was in a similar situation last year and made the leap. I loved it immediately and almost never ride my other bikes now. Struggled a little to get the right saddle sorted but finally landed on a B67 which is perfect for me and the way my platypus is configured for upright riding. Now, of
