Re: [RBW] Re: Early 80's Specialized Sequoia

Hello Erik, Nice looking Sequoia! I agree, my '82 has a nice ride feel to it as well. I did a 60 mile ride this past Saturday on it, very comfortable, fits very well. You can check the year of your bike by looking at the serial number stamped on the bottom bracket. Mine starts with M2, indicat

Re: [RBW] Best Riv Rando Bike

Adding to Jason's success with the Hillborne, an acquaintance here is preparing for I believe his third PBP, and this year will be riding a Hillborne. I have used mine for rando rides and have never been disappointed. Best, Rich in ATL On Wednesday, July 26, 2023 at 11:37:31 PM UTC-4 Bill Gibs

[RBW] Rivendell in The Radavist

New article today in The Radavist featuring a classic Riv: https://theradavist.com/i-dont-want-anything-thats-fast-the-bikes-of-spencer-connell/ This strikes a chord with me because I have a Surly Krampus, I used to own a Toyo Atlantis just like that one, and like the article's subject, I also

Re: [RBW] Cargo/Kid bike recommendations (or bikefriday vs. tern)

Drew, The Yuba Kombi probably will make more sense in the long term because it's, like, a mid-tail cargo bike and when your kid is riding on their own it's still useful as a cargo hauler. Also can best serve as both kid and cargo interchangeably, during transition period when you want your kid

Re: [RBW] Cargo/Kid bike recommendations (or bikefriday vs. tern)

Why not electric? My kids are nearing college age and I'm looking forward to replacing a car with an e-cargo bike. I have no specific recommendations for you, but to me, you get more general utility with a motor. Will On Thursday, July 27, 2023 at 6:10:41 PM UTC-4 Chester wrote: > Drew, > >

Re: [RBW] Best Riv Rando Bike

Jeepers Eric! Lyle's Ram looks to be from outer space! (That is to say: otherworldly.) My 76-year old body would not likely appreciate randonneuring but if I were inclined to go those distances, I can't imagine doing it more comfortably than on my Homer: https://www.flickr.com/photos/bikecr

[RBW] Re: Best Riv Rando Bike

I've done lots of 200k brevets and a couple 300k brevets on a 650B A Homer Hilsen (essentially a Saluki) I've done a couple 200s and one 300 on a Hillborne I've done one 200 on a Legolas I've done one 200 on a Roadeo I've done one 200 on a Leo Roadini In all cases, the bike did great. Bill Lin

[RBW] Re: Rivendell in The Radavist

Lovely, lovely bike. That’s the era of Riv that first got me hooked! I would like to ride something from that era to compare it to my super huge 62cm MIT Atlantis. On Thursday, July 27, 2023 at 12:37:48 PM UTC-7 CJ wrote: > New article today in The Radavist featuring a classic Riv: > > > https:
