[RBW] Re: WTB: Silver Chainring Guard 42T

[brendonoid]

This isn't as nicely finished as the Riv one but aesthetically almost 
identical and the 42t 110bcd is in stock at blue lug:

[RBW] Re: My First Riv: Clem Smith Jr. L, it's all the way live

[brendonoid]

Congrats!
Best colour for a Clem IMHO. No need for upgrades with that perfect setup, 
only side-grades. Side-grades are half the fun though!

Re: [RBW] Re: To My Platypus People!

[Emily Guise]

Leah: Greg has chosen to go down the single speed route instead and is 
currently building up a surly cross check, so for now we only have one matching 
set of bikes. :)

Pancake: some lovely photos the Cheviot! I think it is something about the head 
tube length that makes it look extra long. But that orange is just so dang 
gorgeous. 

Joe: I also said I wasn’t going to get a new bike, and then the stimulus check 
came thru and the photos of Platypuses started going around. I was helpless in 
the face of such stunning bicycle beauty. 

John: can’t wait until Golden Pliers gets their shipment! What an exciting day 
that’ll be, and obviously my cry for a photo of a 60cm lime olive frame was 
heard, so thank you for alerting the Riv-Powers-That-Be.

Emily

Yes, but who wants to tell Will he’s spelling it wrong? It’s PLATY!

[Joe Bernard]

Check your emails, kids. In a stunning turn of events I've never seen in 
the history of RBW - and I've been here from the beginning - frames are a 
month early! 

PS. Note that Will now calls Platypuses "Plattys", which is what Leah 
Bicycle Belle Ding Ding has been calling them for months. It's the new 
catchphrase that's sweeping the nation! 

 Well, 

[RBW] WTB: Silver Chainring Guard 42T

[Wyatt]

Looking to buy the Silver Chainring Guard that Riv makes in the 42T size. 
Mostly because I think it looks cool, also because I don't really want to 
buy a new set of chainring bolts for the old Sugino crank that I'm 
converting to 1x. Riv has been out of stock forever and I'm tired of 
waiting. Any chance somebody has one of these lying around?

Emily, it’s gonna be beautiful, I’m sure of it. And also wonderful: we will

Re: [RBW] Re: To My Platypus People!

[Emily Guise]

As someone who's getting a 60cm olive green, I can't wait to see that size 
and color either! I hope the 60cm look as nicely proportioned as the 
smaller ones. I always thought the 60cm Cheviot looked so gangly and 
awkward compared to the smaller sizes.

Looking at the Riv site and the pics and "Standard" build noted there: The 
rear gearing is shown as 11-34 9 sp (my favorite!) but the R90 Sunrace mech 
in the picture will only do 11-28. Possibly, the bike will ship with a 
different rear unit. Sunrace does make an 11-34  capable MTB rear 
derailleur. Microshift is another source of nice parts for less money than 
the big name parts makers.

[Eric Marth]

Pretty sure there's also a note on the Riv site about how they don't stock 
*any* Paul parts and they order from Paul as needed because they're nearby. 
So likely if you order from Riv you'd face the same availability issues. 
Pardon my assumptions! Call Riv when they open?

Re: [RBW] Rene Herse Randonneur bars with bar end shifters ?

[Steve Palincsar]

I have RH Maes Parallels with Shimano 10 spd bar end shifters on my JP 
Weigle.  They work perfectly.  The brake levers that work the best on 
those bars are gutted Campagnolo Ergo brifters.

Very plausible theory, Jason! 

Here's another thought: I wonder if this color will be used with several 
frames, similar to how the deep orange color was used across a bunch of 
models recently.

The bars are a Tosco-like Crust-Ronsbikes-Ultraromance prototype. I was
told they should be available via Crust in May will be made in Taiwan,
not by Nitto.

[RBW] WTB: Paul Motolites and Love Levers 2.5s

Hey guys thought I'd throw this out to the group I've been waiting for Paul 
to restock the ol' motolites for what seems like it must be at least 6 
months now with no success. My poor Appaloosa just wants to go for a ride 
and the only thing on my build list that is missing are the brakes.
I am after silver for the brakes and levers but boy if someone had some 
blue anodised laying around that they were actually willing to part with 
that would be amazing.
Main caveat: I live in Australia so will require you to international ship.
I know this might be a long-shot but thanks in advance.
