Isn't Grant a nice man? I mean all the staff at RBW are great, but Grant is a mensch. It's a pleasure doing business with him. BTW your Soma and Appaloosa are great looking bikes ; I love that butternut colour on the App. Glad you found another bike more suitable for your current location

Re: [RBW] Re: Custom bike

For me it was 3500 for the frame with braze-ons for Paul centerpulls. + parts and labour and I got pretty fancy with the parts (Paul,Phil ,Chris King, WI , lots of Nitto, Rich l-built wheels,yada,yada,yada. Fenders but no racks or bags) On Friday, August 18, 2017 at 2:47:33 PM UTC-5, Patrick

Re: [RBW] Re: Jan's Yellow Rivendell

my 1997 Riv Waterford-built A/R was , I think, 1225 for base price - 1 colour + 100 for cream head tube + 25.00 for my name. But I could check the stud book at home :) On Friday, August 18, 2017 at 8:43:05 AM UTC-5, Doug Van Cleve wrote: > > I wasn't accounting for inflation, and Jan might not

[RBW] Re: New Clem L

With all due respect I would be very surprised if the Clems weigh 25-27 lbs; I'd be more inclined to guess somewhere north of 30 lbs. I suspect my custom is more than 30...the boxed bike with the uber-Riv protective packaging weighed 35 lbs according to the customs stamp. But as you said,

[RBW] Re: New Clem L

Pretty much the same seat lug and fork crown as my (yet unridden - shame on me) custom mixte I got a while back which I hope to get on soon. Which adds to the attraction of the Clem and yet takes nothing away from my custom. Such a nice touch for Rivendell's 1500.00 bike. Your newest photos

[RBW] Re: 59 vs. 52 Clem L

late to the party but in a fairly recent blug Dave mantioned that Atlanti, Hunqs ,and HH's wait times were almost longer than customs. I suspect the fact that True Temper is no longer manufacturing frame tubing is a contributing factor and Riv/Waterford is sourcing frame tubing

I would agree with you there; it is a GP design and the other 3 builders are just as skilled at the execution of that design On Friday, August 11, 2017 at 3:12:11 PM UTC-5, Doug Van Cleve wrote: > > It is a neat frame and an interesting part of Rivendell custom history. > My issue is that it
