Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell Appaloosa
Cruiser bikes with long reach back handlebars are all over the place in LA and New England beach communities. As for no front derailer, check out, among others, JeffJones mountain bike site. 1by set ups are very common among off roaders. If someone can ride the Sierras without a front derailer, then San Francisco should be a piece of cake. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] New Year's Day ride up Mt Diablo
Happy New Year. Boy am I jealous... Jim T, you are a TROOPER!! The weather here in Central NJ today, while not quite awful, is certainly below par... Temps above freezing, so no firm snow-ride on the trails (which is what usually makes NJ tolerable in the winter)... And yet there's enough slop and ice on the roads to make it a bit treacherous for roadin... that's why they invented fenders and fat tires. I just wish I had enough enthused riders to join me on my ride today like you all... Doesn't matter... I'm on my Riv, the Fiscal Cliff has been averted (so far), and lots of great things to look forward to in 2013. HAVE A GREAT RIDE TODAY!!!

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Appaloosa
The longer wheelbase for a touring machine would be handy but the absence of a front deraileur would not. When you are old,fat and carrying additional baggage a 22x32x44 with a wide cassette is a necessityeven if you are not doing loaded touring. The area I live is not Kansas and while the hills can be as steep as SF usually they are much longer. I would not buy a touring/all rounder frame if it couldn't use wide range gearing. The mystery bike seems more suited to cruising the trails surrounding Riv headquarters and city riding based on the gearing restrictions..it might be fine unloaded on hills for a young, lean rider however.

Still, even they all do have one feature that can get them up the hill - a front der to allow more than a single speed crank. Thus, they may weight alot, but if they have a triple with low gearing low a 24t or 26t it is possible.

Re: [RBW] Anybody have great (or lousy) experience with waterproof iPhone5 mounts on your Riv? I need ones to investigate (and ones to avoid)
I've had good experiences with the Lifeproof case and handlebar mount. Waterproof, well protected, etc. phone lives in the case all the time and goes into the handlebar mount very easily. Simple to swap from bike to bike as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Slow Riding
Perhaps because I didn't cut my teeth on a high performance road bike and I've always been more of a commuter/errand runner, I've noticed riding with other cyclist friends (who are in much better fitness than I) I am always falling off the back- yet I don't really mind. Since getting my Hilborne, I'm content to chug along in my plain clothes at 13-15 mph, stop at the library, ride to work etc... I feel no motivation or ambition to perform on a bike. Maybe it would be different if I lived in a warmer climate and purchased a Tarmac? Anybody else feel me on this?
