[RBW] Re: Seriously?
careful, he'll take you to task. He came after me when I cited specific examples that I new what he paid and relisted it for 5 times the price. I actually have bought one item from him, a Campy Chorus DT friction shifter to match the other side I bought in auction. It was in one of his sales and it was realistically priced for my need. But when he called me out, he basically called me cheap for only having bought one item from him and being such a bad customer. He also has friends on almost all the bike board and especially CR, who defend him as a purveyor of the hard to find. But compared to being his good customer, I take being a bad customer as compliment to my intellect.

Re: [RBW] Re: Seriously?
I think I bought a mid-'90s 8-speed Shimano XT crank from him. It was NIP and probably a little over-priced, but I dearly love those cranks so I went for it. I don't regret the purchase, but a lot of his auctions are simply ridiculous. On Thursday, April 30, 2015 at 1:29:25 PM UTC-7, Jim Bronson wrote: this guy has come up many times in this group.

[RBW] Re: Seriously disturbing
Eprey is likely a good bet of course. TA Zephyr's pop up every now and then, as do vintage Ritchey's, Shimano 600 triples, and Sugino AT's and the like. The thing is you have to look every few days on eprey, as some items are sold first come, first serve. Of course, TA still makes the Carmina. mid 150's Q. $400 from Bilenky. Some people have resorted to the compact double to keep a low Q. Pro's and con's to it, for sure. TA also makes a 110 BCD double crank called the Vortex, a 149mm Q factor. I've only heard of Euro Asia Imports selling the arms for about $280. Both the Carmina and Vortex are modern designs, not the wet-noodle vintage Cyclotourist type cranks TA made . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
