Re: [RBW] Upright bars--my Cheviot review

Interesting what you say about using the ends of the Albastache bars for slow riding with kids. I *thought* this would work well when I used them, but I find that riding with my kids, they like to stop suddenly and for no apparent reason. I didn't like being that far away from the brakes. So for me

[RBW] Re: WTB: 62 Quickbeam or SimpleOne

Thanks guys. It’s actually a very well cared for 62 SimpleOne. The green is awesome, and I’m picturing a black+green color combo like the Pashley Speed 5. I have the black saddle, black leather wrap for albastache bars, and small black bell. Gonna try the Continental Speed Contact black-walls

[RBW] Re: WTB: 62 Quickbeam or SimpleOne

Hey Tom, Glad you're happy with the bike! I hope you get more use out of it than I did. I had a black Brooks saddle on there, so I can see you black & green scheme working. Look forward to seeing how you mix it up and any ride reports! Cheers, Ben -- You received this message because you are

I have some SunTour XC friction shifters in use on my 1994 Bridgestone MB-1 retro build. They along with a bunch of other parts originally were on my 1986 Mongoose ATB that I ended up warrantying. The shifters were on the replacement 1991 Mongoose IBOC Sport before I changed them out for index 7

I had the same feeling before adding interrupter levers to my noodles. Now riding around town in traffic is just as nice on the noodles as the albas. On Tuesday, January 23, 2018 at 10:34:37 AM UTC-7, Joe Bernard wrote: > > My very specific reason for trying to make uprights work is I don't like

[RBW] Re: A Better Mousetrap: Riv Pletscher rack review

Mark Thanks for the review, very informative. You mentioned you lowered the rack. I looked at the expanded pictures and saw how you did it. Just 1 question: What is the vertical distance from the rack top to the dropout you attached it to?? John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ -- You received this

[RBW] Re: A Better Mousetrap: Riv Pletscher rack review

14" or about 35.5cm. This is with 2.something 26" Thunder Burts on what was a 700c frame, and the rack sitting about an inch or less off the fender, which itself has loads of clearance over the tire. Don't forget that, in addition to the two holes on the strut tab, there are three other height

[RBW] Re: FS 60cm Cheviot

They're really nice frames. I love my 55cm Chev, and I'm tempted to try a slammed-post 60 to confirm/deny my suspicion that my long torso/short legs fit a much bigger bike with pullback bars. Maybe! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

Re: [RBW] Re: My trials and tribulations with upright bars

all of my drop bars have interrupter brakes…Paul Components makes nice ones, but cheapies work just as well…probably works best with wide bars. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receivin

[RBW] Re: My trials and tribulations with upright bars

dave, your experiences in uprightness mirror mine to a tee...have tried on a quickbeam an appaloosa and a waterford and gone back to drops, usually mounted a little below or about equal to the seat...I too would love to know how drops would work on a cheviot. even at age 72 I need to be a bit s
