Re: [RBW] Appaloosa gets new bars and a hub
One Riv, to be accurate. And I need to sell the Bobbin 'cause my recent Brompton purchase makes it kinda redundant :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa gets new bars and a hub
Wait a sec, you have a Brompton and a Bobbin Metric too? And some Rivs? You probably replaced your car with equal volume of bikes, which I'd love to do, if nobody else was keeping an eye on my credit card statements 😉 👍🏾 On Thursday, December 22, 2016, Ashwath Akirekadu wrote: > I think Riv should go Kickstarter for a Brompton-like front bag + mount > system that would work for their bikes as well as other bikes that have > enough vertical room between front wheel and handlebar. > > On Thursday, December 22, 2016, Joe Bernard > wrote: > >> I have a Brompton, too, and the front bag system is fabulous.

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa gets new bars and a hub
I think Riv should go Kickstarter for a Brompton-like front bag + mount system that would work for their bikes as well as other bikes that have enough vertical room between front wheel and handlebar.

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa gets new bars and a hub
Thanks! I think this lever looks great. Bobbin Metric seems like a cool bike. I'd definitely want to give it a ride if I run into one someday. A coworker of mine, who is 6'3" rides a Brompton. I crack up every time I see such a tall figure riding on tiny wheels. The bike is just awesome. Love Brompton's front bag and the mounting system. Given that Riv bikes have higher handlebar, I wish such quick release bag mounting system existed for us. I've not made much research into this, but couple of decaleur I've run into are clunkier compared to Bromton's system.

Hi AA, the levers are Tektro short-pulls off my Bobbin Metric mini velo, linked below. Kinda low-end, no adjusters at the lever, but they're a nice silver and work with road brakes and cantilevers. http://bobbinbikes.com/product/metric/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Thanks, Michael. The lighting is courtesy of my Google Pixel phone has an amazing camera, and I figured out how to put the bike in the sun. I take notoriously terrible photos, so this was quite an accomplishment ;-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

No worries, Edwin, it's going! I originally bought that threadless Nitto for some long forgotten mtb I had..now it sits on a V-O adapter as a stem length tester before I buy a proper quill stem. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
