[RBW] Re: EDM / Tap Burner

[R Michaels]

You might take the bike to a machine shop and have them tack weld a piece 
of metal to the broken bolt or ez-out so they can use it to unscrew the 
bolt.  I have had that done before and it works quite well.  You wouldn't 
think there is enough room to do that but a good welder can do amazing 
things.

[RBW] Re: Anyone order a Joe?

[R Michaels]

Not sure what the 0003 is because I ordered (a 55) on the 28th and my 
receipt has the same number.  I,m plenty stoked as well as it will be my 
first Rivendell.  Looking forward to seeing the color and other specifics.

At first I wasn't sure about the bars but warmed to them very quickly and 
hope they will work out OK as I did order a 55.  I don't think the 0003 
number on the receipt has to do with who ordered in order because my 
receipt also has the 0003 on it and I ordered on the 28th.

Wouldn't it be nice if the butterscotch came with the cream color head 
tube.  Now that's a nice look.  Have to wait and see.

I'm fairly new to this but have been unable to find the Choco-stache bars 
you are referring to.  Where can I find them?

[RBW] Re: Anyone order a Joe?

[R Michaels]

It's really nice to see that the head tube is painted cream but I am a 
little disappointed that the butterscotch color looks quite different than 
the sample that was given earlier.  I do like the lighter looking color 
much better and am hoping that the lighting of the photo is the reason for 
the difference.  After saying that, the color is the lesser part of the 
reason I am getting my first Rivendell.  I'm really looking forward for the 
delivery.

Now I am really getting pumped.  All I can say is it's beautiful and the 
color is all that I could have hoped for.  The chain stays really stand out 
and the crown is a work of art.

[RBW] Blue Joe

[R Michaels]

I just saw a picture of the new blue sent by David at RBWHQ.  It's 
different than the sample and IMO a nicer color.  The lighting is not that 
great but hopefully we will be able to see it on the Blug real soon.
