[RBW] Re: Please help me find a Rosco Bubbe MMM!

[E. Ricky Creek]

I have a vague memory of Grant posting a series of pictures of homemade 
"lift tube" alternatives, including a bunch of duct(k) tape and maybe some 
leather and a twig? Does that sound familiar to anyone else?

[RBW] Re: Please help me find a Rosco Bubbe MMM!

[Joe Bernard]

I hesitate to add this because I don't want your WTB to get hijacked into 
an accessory discussion but let's try it: these folks in Oregon make a 
leather lift handle. If an MMM never pops up you could put this on a 
Platypus or Clem L. I think you would fit the 55cm Platy in Davis, plus 
member Doug H. has a 52 Clem L that might work (the latest generation of 
that frame has a very long effective toptube). I don't know if either are 
shipping though, I mostly wanted to show the lifting device. I know your 
dilemma, I have back issues which have pretty much knocked me out of the 
carrying bikes upstairs game.

People will try to tell you different, but the truth is there's no better 
bike in the world than Rosco Bubbe step through...  Here's one of mine (of 
Will's design), probably too big for you- Rosco 
  
Good luck, never give up...

[RBW] Re: Please help me find a Rosco Bubbe MMM!

[Jared Wilson]

Kai,

Don't you have 2 of those Roscos? 

Thats my dream Rivendell so if you did want to at some point downsize I'd 
be happy to entertain the idea

I'm sure there's a list of people who have said the same thing, but add my 
name to it if there's a sliver of possibility there.

Joe,

Good luck with your search, I always keep an eye out for a large Rosco Step 
Thru, so I know where you're coming from. 

You'll land one eventually, hopefully sooner than later!

[Ray Varella]

Keep in mind that there is a run of Roscoe Bubbe Platypuses on the way. 

They will easily fit the same size or larger tire than the earlier MMM
Three sizes, two colors.

[RBW] Re: Please help me find a Rosco Bubbe MMM!

[Kainalu V. -Brooklyn NY]

Jared,
I do have two. After getting run down by a distracted driver I had a 
thought that that event could've hurt my Rosco! (flesh heals, Roscos dont). 
So when the opportunity presented itself, I jumped, paying over retail for 
a little comfort.
I'm about to put some 2.35 Ice Spiker Pros on one, so it's so very 
necessary, but with all these cool new bikes on the horizon, I could maybe 
see one getting bumped, eventually... 
As Grant knew, there's a serious void in the super step through market, 
hopefully many more will follow to capitalize on the want/need.

[RBW] Re: Please help me find a Rosco Bubbe MMM!

[Jared Wilson]

Kai

I can't blame you, the love you have for your Rosco is what we should all 
strive for.

My goal is to have *one* bike and the Susie is the closest fit for the job, 
so I have an XL incoming (eventually...) and hopefully that will fill the 
void.

 I don't count the also incoming Hubbuhubbuh since that one is shared...

Jared, who will have a 60cm Cheviot available whenever the Susies land, in 
SLO, CA.

 I know this is a long, long, long-shot, but I am searching for a Rosco 
 like the ones in the photo below or as Bill L once called it, the Rosco 
 Bubbe Medium Mountain Mixte. I spoke to Will about the frame and it ticks 
 off ALL the boxes for what I am looking for. 

 Supposedly there were two batches of 12 made. The first batch was a 
 more pale blue than the second. I couldn’t tell you which shade of blue is 
 my favorite color as they both are gorgeous. The lighter blue is my 
 current 
 favorite but the darker reminds me more of the cerulean crayons that were 
 my favorite as a child. The size of the frame is perfect for my 85 PBH and 
 I'm told it’s able to do all the things I’d want to do with it. If I could 
 afford a custom, I get this bike made in either one of those shades of 
 blue 
 but most likely the lighter shade.

 I suffered a shoulder injury lifting my lady’s lightweight road bike up 
 onto a roof rack. It has been a few months but unfortunately it still 
 hasn’t healed. Getting my Sam up and down the stairs at my house has 
 become 
 a frightening chore, especially when loaded. I’m hoping that the lifter 
 bar 
 will help prevent future injuries. My line of work requires me to hold a 
 boom microphone over my head 5 days a week so I need my shoulders in tip 
 top condition!

 I’ve been dreaming of a 650B go-everywhere-with-all-my-things bike 
 (GEWAMT?). After speaking with Vince about whether the medium 650B Gus 
 would be a good fit for me, he strongly suggested the large which is 
 designed for 700C wheels (not that it matters since I didn’t pre-order 
 one). The 53cm Atlantis is currently the ideal candidate, and a bike I’d 
 love to one day own since it’s designed around 650B, but I’d really like a 
 step through or at least a swoop tube, especially since this bike will 
 hopefully one day hold a child seat. (High top tube related trail injuries 
 might stand in the way of that plan).

 Again, I know its a long shot but I’m crossing my fingers that the kind 
 members here might keep an eye out for me if one pops up for sale. I 
 believe several of you folks own one and love them. If someone happens to 
 have one that’s gathering dust in the corner, I’d be happy to give it a 
 loving home!

 Thanks everyone,

 Joe Mullins
