[RBW] Re: Fender suggestions for a 26" wheeled Atlantis

Soma carried 26” hammered Honjo but they’ve been out of stock. I had them on my Bridgestone before they got stolen. Is there anywhere else on the net to get 26” hammered Honjo fenders? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

[RBW] Rambouillet in orange metallic

I got this back in the summer when I really wasn't looking for another bike, but a Riv owner just a couple hours away posted this one for sale. I've always loved the orange metallic of the early Rams and when I saw this bike was a 54 cm, I had to at least go take a ride. Needless to say I was

Re: [RBW] Re: "We’ll have “classic” single speed frames again...."

At $150, it’s not a lot more $$$ than any other nice hub. You can build a nice wheelset for much less than the $600 for the other wheels you were looking at. I think it would be quite cool. Philip www.biketinker.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Those EN24's look great for a burlier rim and probably fairly inexpensive too, but no one seems to carry them. I wonder if they are only supplied to vendors of complete bicycles? It would be comforting to see Alex make 584 brake track rims available to likes likes of JensonUSA et al. IanA --

Patrick: What did you decide on for your transmission -- AW 3 speed? Please post photos of new build; I'd like to see how the tires clear the frame. As for tires: I find that my typical 25 to 40 lb rear load is noticeably smoother on a 60 psi 29 mm* Elk Pass than on the slightly wider Kojak.

Plush, wide tires are not only about engine weight, and that may be a realitively minor factor within a 60-100 pound range or so. In my experience it’s mostly about the roads and trails I ride. The rougher the road or trail, the plusher, wider I want my tire. And on the Hunqapillar, it often

Further me talking to myself. I will be running 32mm tires at the minimum. As I understand, TB14 would be good (I've ridden them this way, it works well). The VO PBP are only 19mm wide, not ideal to go with wider tires on that. TB14 are 23mm wide. Grand Bois has some other rims that are 23mm
