The P65 longboards have some wide/short ducktail mudflaps. Riv sells the P45 version , maybe they could order you the P65 ones? On Sun, Mar 6, 2016 at 5:19 PM, dstein wrote: > mounted some p65 fenders on my hunqapillar with rat

[RBW] Re: My Joe Appaloosa

Looks great, Bill. I really like the mustard color. After looking at long chain-stay bikes for awhile, the Appaloosa looks remarkably normal (with some beautiful details). I wonder if Riv could've spec'd the Chocomoose with less rise. Slammed stem + expanded frame, and the handlebar grips are

You need to take a look at Jeff Lyon's frames. The L'Avecaise is definitely "NAHBS quality" and equally definitely nicer than a Rambouillet -- not to mention the fact that it's custom fitted, not a stock frame sized in 2 cm increments. On 03/07/2016 08:30 AM, islaysteve wrote: I guess you

Re: [RBW] Re: PSA: NOS 56 Rambouillett on KC Craigslist

Well now that the issue of price has been raised, I will say that the asking price struck me as high. However, consider that this is a NIB Rivendell that is no longer made, a bike that is highly desireable (apparently) in what is arguably the most desirable color. It's less than a new Rodeo

[RBW] Re: Seattle riding weather

There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. For grins I tested this out the other day, though not intentionally. I headed off without grabbing my ventile jacket. Oops. I think the temp was sunny and mid-30's. But boy-howdy was there a wind. The kind of wind that makes the ride

[RBW] Re: Crack in the Sam headtube??

Metallurgist here. Not semantics, but a crack is a progressive thing. Your "cracks" show displacement (opening strain) and blunt tips. My best guess, this is actually overload tearing that showed up from constraint and thermal contraction during cooling from the original braze. It's been
