[RBW] Large Saddlesack space between rack and saddle loop
Hello- I have 11" of space from the saddle loops to the rack on my AR. I'm wanting to buy and run a large Riv Saddlesack there but I was wondering if that is too much space. The specs for the bag make it seem that up to 9" is the max. Anyone using a large saddlesack with more than 9" of air between the saddle loops and your rack? Thanks- Norm in Portland PS.

It looks like 59 was a large as you could go with 26. Catalog says 61, 63 and 65 went to 700c I'm guessing that this particular catalog excerpt was from later in the period of model availability, and reflected a change that occurred at some point. As noted, mine is 60cm and has 26" wheels. And I know of at least one larger than mine (assuming 61cm, picture attached below) that also has 26" wheels. Prior to 1999, it may be that this size still fell below the "cutoff" between 26 and 700c, or it may just be the case that nothing larger was ever ordered/built. I still kind of think that, at first, they were ALL 26" though. Remember that the original reason for using 26" tires was that there were no 700c tires that had enough volume. (Or at least very few.) At some point, that obviously changed. If I'm correct, it looks like the change might have actually happened mid 1999, comparing with Norman's info, and corresponded to a change in builders (Joe Starck, earlier in the year, used 26", and Match, later in the year, used 700c?) Or who knows... maybe there was an option to choose for a short period during the overlap. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I've also always liked Dave's Homer. I've never seen it in person but the photo looked like a warm, metallic red. http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/staff1.htm John On Sunday, August 23, 2015 at 2:52:33 PM UTC-7, Chris Lampe 2 wrote: I like the shade of red on Jimmy Carter's Atlantis: On Sunday, August 23, 2015 at 1:38:35 PM UTC-5, John Hawrylak wrote: Did Rivendell ever use a shade of RED on their standard models??? If so can anyone provide a photo or a link to an article, reader, etc describing or showing it?I thought one model had a red. I think they favor the creamy shades. I know, they tend to favor blues/greys from their recent blugs. I want to have my 1988 Panasonic Schwinn Voyageur painted in RED, and would like to know what if any shade Riv used in the past. I was favoring the 1970's Schwinn Opaque Red (non-metallic). The frame is the original Emerald Green, which is not high on favorites. However, the paint has held up very good considering the 25 years. Schwinn was using a clearcoat at that time, which may have helped. Keeping it indoors (garage, shed) and not in a parking lot, like a car, probably also helps the paint. TIA.

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB - Riv Fork; 26" wheel canti
Great idea. I'd buy two for sure. -Norm '559 forever' Bone in PDX From: Michael Morrissey To: RBW Owners Bunch Sent: Saturday, April 8, 2017 6:35 PM Subject: [RBW] Re: WTB - Riv Fork; 26" wheel canti I was looking for almost the same thing and couldn't find it. I bought an ordinary Tange 26" fork from Bruce Gordon instead. Perhaps a custom builder could do a run of these forks: 26", lugged, 2.4" tire clearance, absurd number of braze-ons, a nice paint color. I'm not going to say a ton of people would want this, but there's probably enough for a small batch. If so, I'm in. m On Saturday, April 8, 2017 at 11:35:19 AM UTC-4, Tony DeFilippo wrote: I'm looking to re-fork my XO-3 for easier 2" tire clearance and mid-fork braze on's for rackage. I've got a 59cm XO-3 and the head tube is about 24cm so I'd need at least that, more would be fine or preferred on the steerer tube. 26" wheel canti preferred as I want to run my Bruce Gordon fancy canti brakes on this rig. I'd take any color, pretty much any usable condition. Figure it's a long shot but maybe someone has one laying around. PM me if you want to sell, I've got some interesting bits for trade to if that is more up your alley.

[RBW] Old Man Petersen's House of Ferrous Velocipedes and Vinyl Seat Tube Decals
All-These were printed back in Jan. 2016 and sold out almost immediately. With the resurrection of this thread, folks have started sending me money for stickers that I don't have. Since there may be some new demand, I'm considering doing another run of 100. If I do, I'll post here when I have them in hand. In the mean time, please hold off on sending $. To help gauge demand, if you would be interested in buying some stickers, please email me OFF LIST.
