Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

I've been waiting since February last year for these bars and have checked the website at least once a week in that interval. I really wanted them for a Susie build. They are now sold out. *sigh* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

Just a heads up to the group if you missed out on the Crust ortho bars: there is a fellow who makes all types of handlebars under the moniker DoomBars on instagram. He does a lot of swoopy albatross style bars. I’ve ordered 2 pairs from him over the last couple years. He’ll do any sweep/

Re: [RBW] Rivendell Inventory

Riv has been like this for years. I remember having a credit with them and looking around for something that met two criteria: 1. I needed it and 2. It was in stock. The items in the intersection of the two circles in that Venn diagram was a very, very small set. I tend to not even bother

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

Thanks for the head's up. I saw these on Ron's Atlantis a while back and was intrigued. I managed to snag a set before they vanished. About the shipping: I've ordered many things from Crust and I regularly receive adjustments for the difference in actual shipping costs once my stuff ships. $30

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

Concur with Taylor on Crust shipping. I thought their shipping charges were insane but actual shipping was a lot less and they refunded the difference after they created the shipping label. You can call/e-mail to verify but that was my experience the two times I bought from them last year.

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

I second sending Crust an email. I suspect whatever algorithm they're using to compute shipping costs doesn't take into account packing considerations, namely whether an item adds significant weight to or changes the size of the package. I ordered the bars + a hat and shipping was a little

Re: [RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

Getting off-topic here but shipping from Crust is outrageous. $14 to ship just the bars to me (I'm an hour away from the by car). If I add two rolls of Newbaums shipping jumps to $30!! It had to be said. Thanks for listening. On Wednesday, January 5, 2022 at 6:45:05 PM UTC-5 John Phillips

[RBW] Re: Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

Thanks for posting, I've been wanting to try out these bars since I first saw a photo of them in one of Ron's emails 11 months ago, and they're nearly sold out already. Ron said they'd be something line 67-69cm, but I didn't see too many spec's listed. Does anyone know how wide these bars are?

Re: [RBW] Re: Suggestions for better braking?

I agree, centerpull brakes might be the best option. The Paul Racers should work great, but may require a bit of tire deflation to mount the wheel, depending upon the width of your tires. Mafac raid or Compass bolt ons should also work equally well, but expensive. I have not tried the DiaCompe

[RBW] Ron's Ortho Bars in stock at Crust

Some have cyclers have been waiting for these, Ron's swept-back super wide bars. They quietly went up on the Crust site this week. I believe these are based on Bosco bars that Ron modified by somehow flattening and bending them to make 'em wider.
