[RBW] Re: FS: 2007 NEW 56CM GREEN RAMBOUILLET FRAME/FORK (LATE MODEL #RB1100)

[rob markwardt]

Gunner's the best...buy with confidence.  I just received an old- school 9 
speed DuraAce wheelset from him and they were well packed and are beautiful 
(life's too short for ugly hubs!!).  

Thank you.

The new Rambouillet frame set is still available. In addition, for the 
asking price I will include the new set of 700C H29 fluted Honjo fender 
with all mounting hardware ($130.00 value) listed in my original post. 
Additional pictures available upon request.

Leslie 

Thank you for your 650B conversion input. I know of another successful 
Rambouillet conversions and yet the frame is still quite wonderful running 
a 700C wheel set. It really is a beautiful frame and is still available. No 
disappointments. Sorry, the pictures are not so great. 

Thanks again

Gunner

Since I did a 650b conversion, I should be one of the ones to say, the 
official RBW answer on Rambouillet conversions to 650b is, "the BB would be 
too low" but that was said when the normal tire width was a 32.

I think it works fine if you use a 650b-42 like Hetre or equivalent. But, 
using a 42 means that your tire height is close to a 700c-25.  So, if a 
56cm on 700c wheels would be too big, then I would think that the 56 would 
still be too big.  I mean, yeah, you could use a 32 tire instead, but, 
you'll start to run into more of a risk of having pedal strikes.  The 
reason to do a conversion is to run fatter tires, right?  If you're going 
to run less than a 32, I'd leave it as a 700c...  

Although I love my Bomba, and I usually am putting more miles on my 
canti-Rom anymore since I've got it set up for my more usual mixed-terrain 
riding, if I was going for a longer road ride I'd be on my Ram in a 
heartbeat, it was my first Riv and still my favorite.   
 

It is a beautiful frame:  I hope someone snatched it up.
