[RBW] Re: Just Pics from Your Good Ride Thread
It's my new 1x setup. SRAM 11-50 rear cassette (on a Shimano XT hub body), SRAM GX deraileur, Silver cranks (Wolf Tooth 34t chainring and a Silver chainring guard), and a SRAM GX trigger shifter. The gearing is for off-road adventures but I'm riding it on the road for a few more days while I wait for my Appaloosa to come back from the painter's shop on Monday.

Love the ride up Partrick! It's been a while since I've ridden up there, but I go up Redwood to the end of the county road pretty frequently.

Thank you. And yes, that's an MIT Atlantis with the long wheelbase. It's set up with a 1x drivetrain that makes it look even longer! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: 1x drivetrain question
I purchased a 120 link chain hoping that would be enough, but it was just a little shy. I ended up splicing two together for about 124 links in all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Looking for 26" Wheels
Evening Folks. Any chance that someone on this list lives in the Bay Area and has an un-needed 26" mountain bike wheelset, 9spd? 1.5 to 1.75? I'm helping my son put together a my old steel frame Kona, but we are without wheels. I thought I'd check here first before ordering new wheels. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Shelter in Place / Quarantines
I’m in Napa. Today was the first day of our shelter-in-place. It’s been made clear here and in the rest of the Bay Area that biking is an allowed activity both for exercise and for transportation. Just no groups. I imagine it will be the same elsewhere, but I suppose it could vary. I went for a 15 mile ride today to blow off some steam. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa Presale
I just got home from the shop. They showed me one of the new orange Appaloosas that was being built up. The orange is ridiculously gorgeous! It's very slightly on the burnt orange side of the spectrum, particularly compared to the reddish-orange roadini that was hanging up nearby. I think the construction pumpkin on the orange XO was a higher-key color, as is the color that I decided on with D&D for my Appaloosa. And I took a Susie for a lap around the parking lot and have decided that I have to sell one of my other bikes so that I can buy a hillibike. I can't wait to take it out for a spin on the trail once my knee is all healed. Visiting headquarters is dangerous to my bank account!

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa Presale
It sure looks close. I'm head to Walnut Creek tomorrow specifically to look at this orange! I have my Appaloosa with Rick at D&D getting it painted an orange that I think is close to the old construction pumpkin.

[RBW] Getting a Riv Custom Painted in the Bay Area
Just got off of the phone with Rick at D&D. An orange and cream Appaloosa is in my near future. I’ll post up photos after it’s all complete.

[RBW] Getting a Riv Custom Painted in the Bay Area
Howdy folks. So, I saw the post regarding the next batch of Appaloosas, including the info that they will be available in orange and off-white (pumpkin and tusk, anyone?) I already have a beautiful British racing green Appaloosa that I picked up two years ago. It’s my daily commuting bike and is well loved and used. The green is beautiful, but it’s not orange. But I’ve wanted an orange bike forever and have never seemed to land one. The obsession with orange started with the xo-1 in my local bike shop way back in the dark ages. I’ve never shaken the desire to have an orange bike. Since I can’t justify buying an orange version of the same bike I already have, who could I contact in the Bay Area to discuss a custom paint job so I can price out the orange and cream beauty I’ve wanted for so long. I seem to recall that Riv uses a particular painter, but couldn’t find the information.
