agreed  it's a bit spendy   ..OTOH if you can pass it down through your 
brood and you have a good parts stash , it's not a terrible idea to swallow 
the $500 price. Depends on your finances and priorities...and whether your 
kids are into bikes. Gotta sayI like em though

I would love to turn that into a mini velo with a long stem, but I'm crazy ;-)

Photo's?


Here is a link to a photo of a kids bike frameset with the Rosco Bubbe 
proto-label:

As dstein said, there was never a concrete plan to make and sell kids 
bikes.  They once took the groups temperature with a couple questions like: 
If we made a kids bike frameset and it cost $500, would you want to buy 
one?  I'd guess that today the real cost would be something very much like 
the current Rosco Bubbe frames.  Rivendell doesn't think there's a 
sufficient demand for a $925 kids bike frame, and I agree with Riv in that 
opinion.

2017-01-13 Thread dstein
I talked to someone at HQ about this when picking up my Rosco Rubbe. I 
think it was just a sample they were playing with, but ultimately it is too 
expensive for a kid that will grow out of so quickly, at least a fully 
lugged version would be. The sample was used by someone local for a while 
and they just dropped it off as their kid outgrew it. No plans from what I 
picked up on making it an actual bike.
