Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell Road Standard - spreading the stays?
Patrick, did you spec the frame to be 126mm? Grant liked to spec at 128 and 132.5 for versatility but a 1999 frame built for 126mm is very odd.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Road Standard - spreading the stays?
Matt B., I'm pretty sure Rivendell never made a frame with 126mm rear OLD. Grant would know best, of course.

[RBW] FS: Brooks B17 Champion Special
Hi everyone I've a Brooks B17 Champion Special for sale. Saddle is used. Please get in touch off list if interested and I can send photos. $90 shipped, economy shipping. Honey color leather top, chrome rails. Leather is in very good shape with some abrasion marks on the nose and the corners along with some slight darkening due to use. Leather top is still pretty flat and symmetrical. The leather is seasoned and a little soft, and probably best for a rider no heavier than 165lbs. I am 185lbs, and it just doesn't work for me. I bought it recently off eBay and do not know the complete history of the saddle. Tension nut has not been turned so there should be a good number of miles left in it. It has the new rear badge so is a recent production. Many thanks, Soon Chung NYC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
