I should add the reason I’m selling is because I snagged that 53cm Hunqapillar that was recently listed on the site and am swapping over my build. Hoping this frame finds a good home! It’s an amazing bike. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW

Re: [RBW] Betty VS Clem

The anniversary model is what I would call a twixte, on account of it being betwixt and between a Clementine and a Cheviot. Awesome if they can pull it off. With two versions now of the gus boots planned for the fall, and a shipment of clem ls in September and tandems coming shortlythis might

Re: [RBW] Betty VS Clem

Looking at the diagram of the anniversary model, the top tubes hit the seat tube 270mm (=10.6”) above the center of the bottom bracket. You can compare this dimension to your Clem L to get an idea of the relative lowness of the top tube. My guess is the Clem is lower. Eric On Monday, June 10,

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty VS Clem

I love the arc and I really hope the frame happens. I also hope we get more info eventually, we've been trying to decipher one diagram offered with no explanation of what it is for a couple months now. I need information! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty VS Clem

While the Boots has a swoop it wouldn't form a perfect circle like the arc of the Anniv. image. The curved TT of the Low Clem is more functional/utilitarian looking to me, not really elegant at all. Not that it's super important, it's just I couldn't help but notice the beautiful perfect

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty VS Clem

The top tube on the Gus is higher up that that. It's like a swoopy H style not a true step through style like in the diagram. That diagram is showing the top mixte view and the side mixte view. On Monday, June 10, 2019 at 2:38:58 PM UTC-4, Bicycle Belle Ding Ding! wrote: > > But friends, I

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty VS Clem

But friends, I thought the swooped top tube shown is the Gus bike and the twin tubes floating above are for the Anniversary Mixte. I thought it was both bikes pictured in a single diagram . If not, then the AM definitely has swoopy twin top tubes... Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 10, 2019, at

[RBW] Re: Mystery bike in April Blahg

Late to the game here, but Sinewave headlights are perfectly suitable for singletrack use. Combine with a Schmidt hub and you have a very reliable long term, hard wearing dynamo set up. We use them on our bike packing mountain bikes. Rock gardens, 2' deep puddles in class 4 roads, crashes

Thanks, all. Read and noted. I don't know if $150 for 4 mm is worth it, but I have the information I need and will as usual procrastinate until I feel ready to make the decision. ... and if anyone has a 126 SKF in vg condition, I will be delighted to discuss taking it off your hands. On Sat,

[RBW] Re: Betty VS Clem

I am curious how anyone can look at the twin top tubes and see “swoopy.” I want them to be, because I agree with Cinza - I want my mixte to be a step through. I have believed they will be swoopy, trusting the interpretation of others, but the twin tubes appear straight to my untrained eye.

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty VS Clem

Yes, I do remember this now, thank you. Nothing about extra swoopy. And "special" lugs, not necessarily fancy--that's because of the ovalized flattish tubing. A total of 100, so, unlike Clem and Chev, likely to be a full-priced model, if not more. My sense, with the Gus Boots and its
