Doug, Keep an eye out for the Mermaid 55cm Proto Rosco Platy at Riv, it's going to go up on the block one of these days. There was a time when I may have grabbed it myself but I'm good with my custom now..YOU buy it! On Tuesday, September 13, 2022 at 6:02:05 PM UTC-7 Doug H. wrote: > There a

There are lots of folks on this list who I'm sure could prep a frameset but I wouldn't buy one unprepped. Speaking of changes of heart, I'm on the lookout for a 55 Rosco Platy owner with buyer's regret. It happens. Doug On Tuesday, September 13, 2022 at 8:15:31 PM UTC-4 pi...@gmail.com wrote: >

When I picked up my Roadini they'd already installed a seatpost binder bolt and aligned the frame. But I picked it up in person to avoid them having to rebox it. On Tuesday, September 13, 2022 at 3:23:50 PM UTC-7 fra...@gmail.com wrote: > Extremely sad if you can’t trust your LBS with such an e

Extremely sad if you can’t trust your LBS with such an easy job. Might be worth just getting the tools and doing it yourself. Or look for the LBS that looks so rundown nobody would think to go, they usually have the skill to do anything on a steel frame. On Tuesday, September 13, 2022 at 2:24:

I also think it is sad that they are not doing this prep. I would have no confidence in my LBS doing that well, which would make me second guess whether to get another Riv. I'm hoping that some amount of pleading will get them to reconsider this, if I am ever interested in buying another new R

The Nitto Lugged seatpost that Rivendell sells has 40mm of setback. The VO seatposts were better when they were true two-bolt micro-adjusting seatposts and not the two-bolt NON-micro-adjusting versions that they sell now. Laing On Tuesday, September 13, 2022 at 3:07:48 PM UTC-4 brok...@gmail.c

Hey All! I've recently purchased a leather saddle that I think I'll get along with. However, like most leather saddles, I'll need a bit more setback to really get my sit bones into the right place. The plan is to get the Velo-Orange Grand Cru 30mm setback post. I can find one for about $50 or
