ez-pz, shipping is costly but fair given distance and they are quick to ship. FYI, they are closely related to sim.works so sometimes you can get the item from them--though usually a little bit more expensive, so figure out total cost shipped to compare. On Sunday, July 23, 2023 at 1:30:37 AM

Re: [RBW] Tried and liked: Suntour Cyclone pretzel

Thanks Brian and Danny! I got the mech freed. The parallelogram housing is twisted, too. The limit screws aren't in plane, they're twisted! It's a huge mess. Still have many good screws, bolts and springs worth saving. Jockey wheels, too. I'll leave it as-is and pull parts from it as needed.

High BB, short chainstays, steep seat-tube angles, and disc brakes? That's as far away from the Roadini as you can get. Add in wireless shifting and I'm sorry, that's just not comparable to any Rivendell I've seen! On Sunday, July 23, 2023 at 2:00:11 PM UTC-7 Nick Payne wrote: > I've come to li

Wow... the most important thing is that you're fine, Eric. The bike stuff is "just" bike stuff, repairable or replaceable. I saw your subject line and glanced at the pic before reading your story, and at first I thought, "dang, did he get that thing to actually work?!?" On Sunday, July 23, 2023

Wow, I’m glad to hear that it was only a minor tumble, but I’m sorry to hear about the derailler… again. That’s quite the pretzel you’ve made, though! I’m not sure I’ve seen such, save for deraillers that went through a far more severe crash. I might be crazy, but restoring a busted up mech like t

[RBW] Re: ISO Roadini...or?

2 cents: don't get carried away with frame weight, especially when comparing steel frames. I'd focus more on geometry. I wanted my Roadini build to scratch the same itch but the long wheelbase didn't align with my idea of a zippy, skinny-tire road bike. Conversely, I had the opportunity to pur
