[RBW] Re: Three Rivbikes on a patio, enjoying the early springtime weather
Looks like your a canti-man, nothing wrong with that! Thanks for sharing, great looking bikes and I always get a kick out of how the dog gets itself into the picture.

Cheers all! The Sam is my fancy bike while the Clem is quite a budget build - almost everything was transferred over from my modestly upgraded vintage mtb commuter. I would prefer to trade in the XO-1 for a knobby-tire Appaloosa build, but since that would be 4+ times the price I could fetch for the XO, that's not going to happen anytime too soon :D On Monday, 9 March 2020 16:38:16 UTC-7, diekaiser wrote: > > These are all so, so nice!

On the other hand they are considerably more expensive than comparable stuff, and also with the very narrow Q factor I do hit my heels on the crank arm occasionally (on flat pedals of course) if wearing chunkier shoes/boots. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

These are all so, so nice! Are those the SunXCD rings on the Sam? How are they? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

As Ed wrote, thanks for sharing. I don't see it as vain. In fact, looking at other people's bikes is my favorite part of this forum. I like all three of those bikes, but SH is my favorite.

Good looking trio of rides. Something old, something new. Fun and practical. You’ve got all your bases covered!

I really appreciate you saying so Ed, I was feeling a bit self-conscious about the vanity photos - not meant to show off as much as share my excitement :) Joe, yes it's a pretty fun bike beyond the collector factor, though the Sam does everything it does 90% as well, plus does so much more than the XO can too. But, as you say, it's a neat point in history and therefore I'll have a hard time letting go of it! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Just wanted to thank you for sharing, and taking the time to create attachments. I do enjoy the surprises I find when zooming in on pictures from the group - all the small touches people do with their bikes which them unique and personal. --Ed C. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

They're all cool. The XO-1 is "piece of history, excellent color" cool, plus it uses spindly tubes Grant wouldn't dare put on a production frame now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Those are great builds! Interesting part choices. SH is my favorite, although that's probably because I want one . . . .
