Peter suggest I make a post, so here it is. Technically, it has been a few rides. A little side story of how the bike came to be:
I rarely frequent the forums but decided on a fine December day to browse and see all the happenings on the web. I stumbled upon Peter's post of a Bombadil for sale and quickly emailed him. I was reluctant at first knowing that I really didn't need another bike but with the proper push (from Andy 'Smitty' Schmidt and ManuelAcosta) I took the dive... and was it a good one. Within a week, the frame, fork and additional goodies arrived (+1 for Peter M.). Gracious that Andy allowed a landing pad for the box since my neighborhood isn't too ideal for pricey items to be stationed. From then on, part list was compiled with the help of Manny and Andy (again) and slowly it came together. Finally, I have had some time to take it for a spin and boy does my face hurt from smiling. It's nothing like the bikes I have ridden before. The frame is responsive, accelerates well and comfortable. Not to mention, it's easy on the eyes. Here are some photos of the ride, before racks are put on. http://www.flickr.com/photos/metron04/sets/72157632564755576/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
