OK...I'm not brave enough for fixed, and I admire those who ride fixies, especially when they ride them with grace and skill...there's a local courier who rides an old flat black fixie of mysterious origins all year round in all kinds of weather and his style is just so effortlessbut when I had my old 70's PX-10 refurbished as a single-speed in 2011, I just loved it..Dare I confess, the Rivs did not get the love they deserved ? I rode my rivs more this year, though. But I love rocking the Peugeotcrappy paint and all. Nervex lugs and Reynolds frame with 36-hole Ambrosio/Trek rims and Record hubs w 35mm Pasela tiressweet!

Doug, No, the bike has a set of the Surly Torsion bars on right now. Made by Nitto. They sweep back some, but starting to think not enough. For me, it's a weight issue. I have too much. Even with Ergon grips can't seem to keep numbness away. If I could get a set of Soma Clarence to fit, those work better. Strangely, I have less problem on drop bars riding the hoods. Although am coming to discover a preference for a very short reach to the hoods.

Bill interesting how the reviewer Richard Jow talks about experiencing flexture on the 25 inch and then goes on to talk about loaded touring, I wasn't touring way back in 72' but I imagine tour bikes had longer than 43 cm chain stays for touring. And as the name implies it was designed as a sport bike. And the lug with daylight humm the distributor in Carson wasn't doing a through job when loaning it out for review. ~Hugh On Monday, October 28, 2013 10:55:33 AM UTC-7, Bill Lindsay wrote: My winter project list involves: 1.

Re: [RBW] Re: Winter Projects, 2013/14 version
Bill, Sorry for your loss. I totally understand. My father is now riding his bike again after having a heart attack over the winter, just after his 70th birthday. It's a basic steel Rockhopper from about 1989 or so. As for winter projects, only thinking about one. Maybe a set of Albatross bars on the Hillborne. Or Albastaches. Getting a bit o' hand numbness with the Nitto flat bars on rides of over about 25 miles.

Re: [RBW] Re: Winter Projects, 2013/14 version
I'm planning on putting some A-bars on my All Rounder. Problem is I like M-bars a lot. And still want drops on it too! Need another bike...

[RBW] Re: Winter Projects, 2013/14 version
1. I am planning on converting my drop bar Bleriot to an Alba set up; then chainging the drivetrain on it. Almost done. Just need to hook up brakes and kickstand and install new seatpost and saddle. 2. I would like to do one metric century each month through the winter, but I don't know if I will be able to handle the cold or not. Hopefully there will be warm weather windows on my days off of work and hopefully I'll be in the mood during those times. The Lord willing everything will work out great. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
