[RBW] PSA from CORSA CLASSIC

I received an email from them about that there is only nine copies left. I thought there might be some members out there that would be interested in buying this or more items from their website. https://corsaclassic.com/en-us/products/campagnolo-collection Kim Hetzel. -- You received this m

Re: [RBW] Re: Hobson-Zingo tools tried and liked?

I like all the ones I have, which are the pin spanner, adjustable cup wrench, master link pliers, the valve core tool and the bottom bracket tool. I bought the valve core tool to tighten down some Schwalbe valve cores on inner tubes with slow leaks, and it works very well for that. The bottom

Thanks, Jason, I'm particularly heartened by "noise doesn't translate into slowness." I can live with pavement buzz. On Fri, Mar 22, 2024 at 9:17 PM Jason Fuller wrote: > Patrick: I've run the Umtanum (650x55) in endurance casing, and have pals > I ride with regularly on the full range basically

Re: [RBW] It's New Bike What?

That ride looks like so much fun! Love the color pop of the Red brakes on Purple frameset. Reminds me of days on my 1994 Maroon mustached XO-3. Also my 1990 MB2 (because it was also purple). Thanks for posting Corwin. John On Saturday, March 23, 2024 at 3:30:25 AM UTC-7 Eric Daume wrote: > Loo

Yeah. Mark claimed no Riv customers slam the bars like me anymore. CZ On Saturday, March 23, 2024 at 3:30:25 AM UTC-7 Eric Daume wrote: > Looks great, and I love the color, and the fat tires with the Albastache > combo. > > I think you win the Riv with the lowest bars award! > > Eric > > On Sa

Re: [RBW] It's New Bike What?

Lovely and intriguing! Certainly an eclectic build -- that's a positive. How do you like the Hurricanes and the Ritchey Micros? On Sat, Mar 23, 2024 at 10:42 AM John Bokman wrote: > That ride looks like so much fun! Love the color pop of the Red brakes on > Purple frameset. Reminds me of days on

Re: [RBW] It's New Bike What?

Hi Patrick - Love the Richey Micros. They are one-sided and weighted to be in the optimal position when you want to clip in. I've had lots of Schwalbe tires. I get flats on almost every ride with G-Ones. But the Hurricanes have never flatted. I have them on three bikes now: Hubbuhubbuh, Custom

[RBW] Anyone Fender a Romulus?

Looking to not buy multiple sized fenders and tires, never fendered a bike before, hoping to receive some wisdom. Riv claimed fenders with tires as wide as 35. SomaFabShop is running a sale this weekend and would like to pick up some Honjos. If I were to go with 33 or 35 wide tires, would a 4

Re: [RBW] It's New Bike What?

Looks awesome, I didn't think Riv would even make a custom this 'racey' anymore! Maybe only because you already had the custom history with them? On Saturday 23 March 2024 at 11:30:28 UTC-7 cz...@sonic.net wrote: > Hi Patrick - > > Love the Richey Micros. They are one-sided and weighted to be i

I installed fenders on my now-departed Romulus: https://flic.kr/p/2eiGU18 I believe those are Planet Bike fenders and 32mm Pasela tires. Neal Lerner Brookline MA On Saturday, March 23, 2024 at 2:36:00 PM UTC-4 tl4ente...@gmail.com wrote: > Looking to not buy multiple sized fenders and tires, ne

Re: [RBW] It's New Bike What?

Thanks, Corwin. I'm a pedal snob and love lightweight SPD-type pedals, and there's a (earlier version?) pair of Micros on eBay for $25, but I just read reviews of the Micros and apparently their cleats and SPD cleats aren't compatible; too bad, since I have SPDs on all my bikes now. Bike Radar wei

Corwin, an adventurous build for an adventure bike. You must have had a good time putting that one together. Love the result:-))) Thanks for showing it off. Best, Rich in ATL On Saturday, March 23, 2024 at 2:53:45 PM UTC-4 Patrick Moore wrote: > Thanks, Corwin. I'm a pedal snob and love lightw

Re: [RBW] It's New Bike What?

Congratulations, Corwin. It's lovely. It looks like such a fun bike. From what I recall, this has been a long time coming for you after your previous custom was stolen. A couple of questions: do you mind sharing what size it is? The slammed bar I think is making it kind of hard for me to ascer

[RBW] Re: Anyone Fender a Romulus?

This is 20-year-old memory now but my experience says 35 with fenders is optimistic. I'm fairly certain I tried that size Pasela with SKS fenders and I got up to some serious fender cutting around the (stock) brakes to make it work; I'm not convinced 559 brakes will make much difference at the

Re: [RBW] It's New Bike What?

Hi Jim - It's been close to three years between the theft of the original custom and delivery of the new one. To be honest, the wait was about the same as last time. Back then, there was a big backlog of custom frames waiting to be built and waiting to be painted. Regarding the size - it's a 6
