I completely agree Joe. I just don't want to sell it and here there is some issue. I'd rather sandblast it and repaint it myself someday and use as a backup bike.

[RBW] FS NFE Medium (frame set)
Hello all, For those who don’t yet know, NFE stands for National Forest Explorer and it is a bikepacking / gravel / dirt randonneur frame built by Elephant Bikes in spokane. Check out their website for more details. I thought there might be some crossover in fans here. Frame details - Size medium (54-56ish) Forest service green IS disc mounts 135/100 spacing Fits 650b x 48 or 559 x 2.25 tires Further details: I tried a disc brake bike and it wasn't revolutionary for me. Now i’m selling the frame and fork (with headset) so I can put the money away and buy a 54cm quickbeam another classic riv as soon as one of these rare specimens pops up for sale. The 56cm single speeds are too big and the quickbeam is one bike I should have never sold. Pics if you want them...

It's too bad about the Clementine paint, but I'm 99% sure it's not a frame problem. Anybody who's mounted fenders and/or racks on these bikes can attest to how brittle the paint is when you crank down bolts on eyelets; anybody who's ridden one can vouch for a bit of flex in the frame. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
