[RBW] Let's Get Claudia Lopez an El Clem

Cool photo. Sra Lopez Hernandez is a Green Party politician and the bicycle, which is painted green, is (re) decaled "Bogota" and also shows her website address. Probably not her favourite bicycle, but well suited for official duties. She'd probably quite at home on a Rodeo as much as a

[RBW] Re: FS 52 Clem H complete

I bought them with hopes that they would work. I don't typically like a long reach and they ended up being about perfect for me. Not super upright but definitely not stretched. Handling was great. If Riv offers it again, the bull moose would be a great spec. On Sunday, May 3, 2020 at 8:57:23

[RBW] FS 52 Clem H complete

Andrew, I’m curious how the bullmoose bars worked with the Clem. I would imagine the long toptube made for a pretty long reach. Thanks, Doug -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving

[RBW] Re: Rock n' Road Tires on a Sam Hillborne

Currently have them on my 51 Sam. They're a bit loud on pavement but don't really feel that slow, and I certainly don't mind it. They've been great on trails, singletrack and gravel. I'd recommend them. I have also had Snoqualmie Pass' on another bike of mine and they rode s nice.

With that head tube, I'd guess that it was a custom frame. I had a King of Mercia years ago and it was a fine ride until it and I were hit by a car. There may be a serial number on the bottom bracket and I think Mercian may be able to shed some light on the head tube. On Friday, May 1, 2020 at

Re: [RBW] Re: Fancy Cheviot!

That's what I thought, but it seemed like the talk was breaking down between "the new" Cheviot and Leah's "Fancy Cheviot". And then discussion of it having a new name seemed to indicate it was going to be something of a departure from the old, but based on the photo it seems to be more of a

[RBW] Let's Get Claudia Lopez an El Clem

Who knows? My initial impression (not sure why, maybe the title of the thread) lead me to believe the bike she had wasn't very good, but on closer inspection it would appear to actually be easily as nice as a Clem. Also, based on her location and the muddiness of her tires, I would say her

Matching frame and helmet, proper cycling gloves and Rad Red clipless shoes tells me she's a real rider on the bike she likes. I suspect a 'let's get Claudia a Clem' project would end like I suspect some of the 'buying a Riv for my wife' projects around here end: "Thanks dear, I'm happy with

Re: [RBW] Re: Fancy Cheviot!

Mas: I don't have official word on it, but the fact that the new one may still be called a Cheviot tells me it's a replacement. The line of succession is Betty/Yvez, which was followed by the updated Cheviot, which will be followed by this update. Is what I'm assuming. -- You received this

Hey Garth, mounting Maxis 2.8" and Schwalbe 2.8" has gone just fine -- only the new normal have to work the wheel well just right to get them in due to snugger tolerances from tubeless rim/tires. Yes, I'm running tubes. With abandon, Patrick On Sunday, May 3, 2020 at 2:27:03 AM UTC-6, Garth

[RBW] Re: Atlas stout enough rim for Gus/Susie?

I had hoped the Riv rim once mentioned for the Hillybikes would be available *before/with* the frames arrival. Otherwise I'll do either a Cliffhanger or the DM24, since I do use tubes. I'm not sure what tire I'll get first, but it will be at least a 2.25-2.4, it depends on the tire really. I

[RBW] Re: Atlas stout enough rim for Gus/Susie?

+1 for Cliffhangers. I'm going with those for the Susie I'm waiting on. I have had both Atlas and Cliffhangers on my previous Rivs. Atlas is super solid as well. I had 2.0" tires on them. Never had any problem even with some loaded rides. If I already had a pair of Atlas I'd use them.
