Re: [RBW] Yves Gomez – mustardified
The Sam is beautiful! This yellow is among my top very favorite colors on a Rivendell. It somehow feels both classic and modern at the same time.

[RBW] Yves Gomez PBH range?
I have a line on a used 60 cm Yves Gomez frame. Anyone know the range of PBH that would be comfy for a rider on this frame? Hoping to build this up for my wife who is 6'-0" tall (though I don't know her PBH offhand). thanks, Jack -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Yves Gomez gets his groove back
After a cold Colorado January contemplating the many directions I could take my Yves I embraced Just Ride and purchased a new set of Bosco bars and moved my shifters to the stem. The results have been subtle and transformative. The slight rise in position has given me a whole new comfort level that wasn't there with the albas and bar ends as well as an aggressive spot down by the stem. Last week's warm spell yielded four lunchtime rides in addition to my short commute that confirmed Cosmopolitan Yves has got his groove back. Pictures here for those interested. http://www.flickr.com/photos/flipvelo/8458945025/in/photostream/ Now if anyone has a green B17 special i'll be done fooling around and ready for a Spring S24O. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Yves Gomez
I ride a Betty and love it. Mostly short rides around town and share it with my daughters when they feel like riding. Actually, they haven't ridden it yet as one's in college and the other hardly rides. I thought about siting extra for the Yves paint, but just loved the Betty's colors so much and knew my girls would live it too.

[RBW] Yves Gomez fenders
Looking at the RBW web site at the pictures for the Yves Gomez model. It appears to have gold-ish (anodized?) colored fenders. Anyone know what those are and where I could find a set?
