Re: [RBW] Re: To My Platypus People!

That bike with all its glorious teal and rose and Brooks and bags is - and there is no higher compliment from me - CRAZY. As the kids would say, it's ridiculous! Excellent work all around from Leah the parts/paint picker, Analog Cycles for the parts/ano, and the pro shop that put it all

[RBW] Re: Let's see your shop and workbench

Seeing some of these bike collections makes me feel like the few I have aren’t such an indulgence. As for the Russian River Brewing Company, we have several customers in their immediate neighborhood and I’m in that area occasionally. I generally stop in and pick up some beer. I’ve tried

Yes and probably yes. I bought my first gen Appa in '16 and that looks like the right toptube number for my bike. On Sunday, March 7, 2021 at 6:47:34 PM UTC-8 Roberta wrote: > Is 2016 the first year of this model? Does this look like the appropriate > geometry chart? >

[RBW] 2016 Joe Appaloosa questions

Is 2016 the first year of this model? Does this look like the appropriate geometry chart? https://i1.wp.com/restoringvintagebicycles.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/rivendell-appaloosa-bicycle-geometry_2048x2048.png?ssl=1 I researched and think both of the above are correct. Thanks, Roberta

[RBW] WTT: New extralight Big Ones, 700C X 60, for equivalent (in weight, suppleness) in 44-48

Before I really try selling the Matthews roadbikefordirt, let me try some skinnier tires, 44s to 48s. I'll trade 1-for-1 for the new Big Ones. I want light, supple, tubeless compatible, quality similar to that of the Big Ones. Prefer tires biased for pavement, and in any event that roll very well

Most of us don't know about Pliny the Younger because the Russian River Brewery doesn't distribute as far as the Midwest. So you folks on the Left Coast can keep it all to yourselves and enjoy. On Sunday, March 7, 2021 at 2:49:01 PM UTC-6 Frank Brose wrote: > Kudos to you Max. Most people

Bump, reduction, and pics. Let's say $50 shipped. And, here's a link to a couple of pics. A couple of people have inquired about sizing. Riv's description is probably the best: full but not floppy.
