[RBW] PSA: VP Pedals on sale

2017-02-12 Thread Garth
Fwiw, I have been reading Riv stuff since the very late 90's and I cannot 
recall a year in which their budget was not discussed in some way. Every 
business likely has such discussions in some form or fashion about budget 
whether private or public. Regardless, here they are today 2017, so something 
must be happening in their favor to still be. 

I have also experienced the implied pressure to to buy things from them in some 
way. But hey, this is no different than any business that is favored, you like 
shopping there and want it to continue. It's like you become attached to it in 
a way, but if that turns into a sense of responsibility and obligation for it's 
very existenceI would be fooling only myself. 

So hey, if we are speaking of "just riding" and riding like we are kids, these 
metaphors express life itself, not just parts of it since that is setting more 
of the very conditions we are supposedly being free of. Simply BEing. is 
unconditional. Celebrating BEing for the simply fact that I Be.  So too, "just 
shop" shop like a kid like venturing the corner store down the street 
on the banana seated bike to buy a Baby Ruth bar and a Slo-Poke to savor over 
the weekend.

Thanks Patrick. The bike is a nice old Tange tubed Japanese crit racer for 
pre-conglomerate Nashbar that has been converted to 650B. After a respray, it 
got an "Old Man Peterson's Ferrous Velocipedes" seat tube decal, and so also

[RBW] PSA: VP Pedals on sale

2017-02-12 Thread Alex Wirth- Owner, Yellow Haus Bicycles
We love these pedals and spec them on a lot of customer bikes.  For the handy 
tinkerer, they can be rehab'd inexpensively with a rebuild kit.  

Calling out my obvious bias on the topic.Large volume online blowouts like 
this have a real effect on small businesses.  It's undeniably short-sighted and 
only serves immediate cash flow needs.  Some brands do a better job than others 
to control this from happening.  

IMO to post an item that's listed for sale on the Riv website is not nice.  
I'd be happy to defend my theories off list with anyone who argues in favor of 
the "free market" theory.

Don't take this post as shaming, it's not my intention.  I'm only trying to 
relay a point of view that may not have been considered fully.

[RBW] Re: PSA: VP Pedals on sale

2017-02-12 Thread 'Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch
I think there is a point to this, but it can be a gray area. Technically, 
Rivendell is mainly an online seller, meaning they are theoretically taking 
sales away from my local shop. However, this mostly remains in the 
theoretical realm, for mostly obvious reasons. On the other hand, Amazon is 
currently destroying more businesses than Walmart or Home Depot ever did. I 
don't shop there as a rule. 

Then there are the more direct competitors, such as VO, or big online bike 
shops like Modernbike, Niagara Cycles, Wiggle, etc, as well as purveyors of 
wool products like Ibex. When it comes down to it, though, there is not a 
huge amount of crossover product. Riv specs but does not sell the pedals 
linked in this post. And as Patrick points out, this is not an official Riv 
site, and does not require owning a Rivendell bicycle to participate.

Still, I would guess most of us are big supporters of the company. I almost 
always adhere to the request Grant once made about several products that 
can be found elsewhere for perhaps cheaper prices--hey, if you heard about 
it from us, buy it from us as a courtesy. Even with stuff I have been 
buying for years from other sources--the black wool merino sportskins, for 
example--if Riv has my size in stock when I need something, I buy it from 
them. There are rare exceptions--I used to always buy my Boeshield when 
placing orders, but now they only sell the small can, so I started getting 
it elsewhere. And the  rear rim on a brand new Atlas wheelset just took an 
unrepairable hit, but Riv does not sell these rims separately. The 
manufacturer offers it for $87.99 plus $14.00 shipping, or I can get it 
from Bikemania for $59.99, same shipping charge. (Of course BM has every 
single configuration in stock except the 36h silver finish that I need...)

In the bigger picture, this constant drive toward the *apparent* cheapest 
price, the reliance on subsidized shipping (yes, even at the increasing 
shipping, it's all subsidized) and cheap labor, the destruction of local 
anything, is all coming to a not very pretty end. It has only lasted this 
long because those  who derive great benefit from it have done everything 
possible to keep the globalization scheme running as long as possible.

Meanwhile, I'm heading over to Rivbike.com to buy some pannier rails for my 
Clem rack, and a few other assorted Goods & Sundries.

I have a review on Karpos knickers, which I bought from Holland. Sat in 
customs for 3 weeks, but finally arrived this week.  
I tried some Garneau knickers which are good, but these are much better.  
They feel tight when you put them on, then they disappear..  They stretch 
everywhere really.  Everyone should like the length, and I really dig the 
cinch at the bottom of the legs.  
They're soft and light, don't need a belt (the Garneau do).  
The seams are so soft they don't mark your saddle  
I like the Karpos as almost as much as MUSA knickers.

[RBW] PSA: VP Pedals on sale

2017-02-12 Thread Joe Bernard
I posted a response to this last night, but a missing word really screwed up 
the final sentence. Trying again: I don't feel comfortable finding a better 
deal on this list for something Riv sells (referring to new products from 
online sellers). I already bought VP-001 pedals from Riv a couple weeks ago, 
and had been looking for something cheaper/less durable for an ebike which 
won't see heavy pedal pressure. I bought the Bauhaus plastic pedal from that 
linked sight, and mentioned that Grant might like them enough to sell them. 

The moral being, I don't have a problem with a sale like that being posted 
because so much of the product is not carried by RBW, but I personally would 
not click the link to get a better price on something Riv sells. Your results 
may vary.

[RBW] Re: PSA: VP Pedals on sale

2017-02-12 Thread drew
In principle and theory I understand the argument against big discount sites 
sweeping the legs of the little guy.

In practice in this group, I tend to disagree with the argument. i went from a 
1 rivendell home when I joined the list, to a 4 rivendell home (2 new 2 used). 
I blame you guys. All the bikes have mostly parts from rivendell. All have a 
riv bag. There will be more purchases in the coming months and years. I don't 
think grant and co would say I haven't done my part.

My point is that here, in this little vacuum, we already lean hard into sending 
rivendell our business and support. Maybe weirdly hard sometimes. 

I don't see the issue with an occasional deal on pedals, or whatever, when 90% 
of your bike's parts were purchased at one place, and someone on a group who 
also has an expensive bike that they bought from that same place sends it to 
you.

[RBW] PSA: VP Pedals on sale

2017-02-12 Thread Joe Bernard
Oh, I forgot to mention the cheapy pedals needed to be black to match the 
not-one-ounce-of-silver motif of my new Haibike. Normally I would just grab RMX 
pedals from Riv, which would have been the 7th or 8th time. RBW probably has a 
separate column in my Purchase History just for MKS RMX ;-)

That would also be my question. I just took a pair of wool dress pants to
the tailor yesterday to be cut to knicker length, and for me, knicker
length is long enough so that when I raise my knee above my waist, the hem
can be cinched tightly just below the knee and just begin to bind. I
suppose mine are really "plus 8s."

2017-02-12 Thread Ron Mc
I'm not going to compare them to MUSA, because MUSA are perfect in my book. 
. 
I'll compare them to the Garneau, which don't stay below your knee.  The 
knee gusset in the Garneau is comfortable, but it actually causes them to 
ride up , and the short velcro strap on the Garneau won't seal the wind 
out.  
The bottom cinch on the Karpos is the cinch on a quality weather shell and 
works great.

Not common to have three Riv owners in the same room in Nashville!

[RBW] Re: PSA: VP Pedals on sale

2017-02-12 Thread Edwin W
I like the idea of "if you heard about it from Riv and they sell it, buy it 
from them as a courtesy." The (usually small) increase in price is worth 
the mountains of advice I have received from them and you all. "Tuition 
comes in many forms," as my friend's dad says.

I guess they have to limit how many different models they can stock. I was 
impressed by the ones on the complete Appaloosas I saw at RBW HQ, but Riv 
doesn't sell those. The NP2, I think.

[RBW] FS: NIB SP PV-8 dynamo hub, 36H, red: $95 shipped

2017-02-12 Thread Anton Tutter

I'm offering a NIB SP PV-8 dynamo hub for $95 shipped CONUS-- 30% off the 
retail price of $130. This unit was shipped to a customer but was the wrong 
model, so it got returned to me after he received the correct one. I don't 
normally keep stock so I'd rather offer it to the list than pay to return 
it to my Taiwanese distributor.

Contact me off-list if interested.

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: VP Pedals on sale

2017-02-12 Thread Garth
  From my understand large retailers have contracts with shippers.  The 
details are unknown to the public but I don't think it is the same as a 
per-shipment deal like a small business and the public get. Like some sort 
of bulk deal agreed upon. So looking at their shipping costs from a 
perspective outside of this contractual deal it could be seen as a 
"subsidy" because you would be comparing it to the public and small 
business per-shipment basis. This may or may not be the actual case as the 
rules of the contracts are unknown, so either way it's a guess.

I had a pair of the original MUSA knickers, and they were pretty good:
perfect weight -- not too heavy, not too light; long enough to stay cinched

To be fair: this price is not really rare or exclusive. If you check EBay

below $50. 

However, when Riv has stock I shop from them if the price differential is less

Nice country riding around Cedartown. If you would, send me an email per

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: VP Pedals on sale

2017-02-12 Thread Ray Varella
I treat my favorite bike/parts sellers the same way I treat my local hardware 
store. 
I go there first. I want them to stay in business because they provide a level 
of knowledge and courtesy that a big box or large anonymous online seller does 
not. 

When you deal with people who have invested decades in their chosen field, 
there is intrinsic value included. 
If we as a society, price shop those individuals out of business, they won't 
get replaced.
