I agree - nice to see the staff bikes. Also interesting to see how tastes change from time to time. Grant's present bike setup looks different than the Atlantis in the last flyer I have. Not better, or worse. Just different. Also wondering - any idea where Grant gets his negatives scanned?

It's fun looking at the photos of the Riv staff bikes. Does anyone know what the rear racks on Mark's bike are? They look like they fold up and would be perfect on my Saluki to fit it into the bike lockers at work. -JimD --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this

[RBW] Grand Bois Tires on My Romulus

2009-04-11 Thread Jon Cameron
Hi Everyone, I purchased my Romulus new in May of 2003. For those who don't recall (or never needed to know) the bike came new with wire bead Ruffy Tuffy tires on it. I had been using a set of Kevlar bead Rolly Poly's on another bike and liked them, so the Ruffy's seemed like a perfect choice

Hi Bruce, Glad to hear that they can be flat free under the right circumstances. I sure like the way they ride. Thanx too for the tip on Pasela's. I use them too on other bikes for the same cost issues you mentioned. A great value. Jon. On Apr 11, 3:33 pm, Bruce fullylug...@yahoo.com wrote:

Cool bike. Did you have to order it from the UK, or do shops in the US carry them? I¹m guessing the only way to run it fixed is the ghetto loctite way since you¹ve got that special hub on there? On 4/11/09 6:12 PM, Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com wrote: Here's one:
