[RBW] Building up a new Roadeo

Hey all, I've been lurking for a while and it seems like today is the day that everyone posts their new build / bike so I decided to follow suit. My family and I stopped by the RBWHQ this afternoon and picked up my new Roadeo frame. http://www.flickr.com/photos/noryia/sets/72157625627580084/

[RBW] FS Bridgestone Owners Bunch Wool Jersey

I have a wool bridgestone owners bunch jersey. Olive green short sleeve jersey that was shrunk from an XL down to a medium... zipper opening on the front and 3 rear pockets. No holes around the pockets on the back. I bought it from the orgional owner who never wore it. After washing it developed 1

Hold firm Doug. I'm with you. The Atlantis in its stock configuration is one of the best bikes ever, and days like this always remind me of that. We missed you out there: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/5252886975/in/set-72157625454132801/ -Original Message- >From: doug pe

I just took a look at Matchak's website; nice work. He shows a couple of Rivs he's converted to low trail forks. Interesting. (Heavy Sigh) The interweb is indeed a dangerous place; need to put fenders on the Atlantis & go for a ride. dougP On Dec 17, 1:06 pm, newenglandbike wrote: > Cool bike

Picked up the Quickbeam today. We did a twenty mile fixed ride on some ice/show covered roads this morning to try it out. It turns out the stem was about 2 cms too long and about 3cms too low. "Ouch" said my aging back. A trip to my LBS for a shorter, taller stem and an afternoon of tweaking and

Nice setup.. the cranks look nice and i like having a wald basket up front too. I don't think it looks big, rather it looks like it fits just right. It only has a touch more than a fistful of seatpost showing which is as Rivendells are supposed to fit. On Dec 18, 1:17 pm, robert zeidler wr

A total lunar eclipse will occur on the Winter Solstice, December 20/21. It will be the first total lunar eclipse to occur on the day of the Winter Solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere; Summer in the Southern) since 1638. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_2010_lunar_eclipse Will be worthy

That's a perfect build there David! Love the TA crankset. With a rig that size, you could easily go for the Giant Wald out front, and with a couple davits out back, you could easily swing a Raleigh 20 as a life-bike. Enjoy the ride. Marty Marty On Dec 17, 3:21 pm, David Klatte wrote: > My came
