[RBW] Found Hillborne in SF

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/bik/d/san-francisco-found-rivendell-hillborne/7482982564.html Not my ad, but someone spotted a small green Hillborne for sale on 17th and Mission today. Most likely stolen. Looks to be a very Riv build, so parts probably haven't been swapped out. I am not sure if

Re: [RBW] Re: Hillibikes are so close!

I keep checking my email and instagram to see if there is a picture of a ton of boxes delivered… I haven’t been this excited about a new bike in a while! I did see the Sam frame that was just listed in the gold color my Susie will be. Their pictures look great and I think I might even be happy

[RBW] Re: Overnighter Photos

When I saw this post I said to myself, "Oh, this is going to be good." Takashi's ride reports and pictures never disappoint. The log tripod really delivered the night sky! Thanks for sharing! On Thursday, May 12, 2022 at 9:40:02 AM UTC-4 Takashi wrote: > Some more photos from the ride. > >

Hats off to the gold Sam seller for posting *nice pictures*! Johnny, the plural of platypus is platypuses. I'd vote platypodes. You might enjoy this bit from the Australian Platypus Conservancy : *What is the plural of “platypus”?* This is perhaps the single most fre

[RBW] Re: Susie front load

I did have a Pass and Stow rack on a Black Mountain Cycles road+ and it was perfectly centered (mounted on lower eyelet). I’ve seen the rack mounted on the lower eyelet on a Susie and it looked good. The upper mount makes it “look” too high and forward from what I have seen. Can’t wait to get th

Miles, The made in USA frame along with nice quality parts and accessories make this a fair price in my mind. It is an older bike but well-maintained as you say. I like some of the features listed such as the Nitto seat post, Nitto rack, Sheldon's nut on the mudguards, and a Sackville Bag. You

[RBW] Re: 10 years of Rivendell on my Homer Hilsen

So Brendan...is this a picture of your Homer post-crash? Bars look sort of warped.I am glad you were OK I hear you about avoiding traffic ...and bike lanes...that's where I had my accident 6 years ago and compressed an L1 vertebra. My X0-1? Perfectly fine; just a scrape on my saddle and the fir

[RBW] Re: 10 years of Rivendell on my Homer Hilsen

Ouch! Glad to know that you and your bike frame were OK. I don't regret buying Hunqapillar at all, but am curious as to how it was if I bought a Homer. Maybe climbing a long ascent is a bit easier? Wishing you many more happy kilometers for the next 10 years! Takashi -- You received this messag
