Hi Everyone, Shifters are sold, but I still have the derailleurs. Please let me know if you’re interested. Thanks! Bob K. in Baltimore On Monday, June 20, 2022, Bob K. wrote: > Hi Folks, > > I was either off on my prices or the world is ending and no one needs bar > ends. I'm guessing it's

Hi Folks, Roberta, thanks for the lead! A CL bike is probably what I *should've* done, but I zeroed in on an orange Cleary Owl (20") based on Nathan's tips, and I found a shop in Haverford, PA (Mechanic Cycling) that does trade-ups for kids' bikes. Cleary also has a 3-speed conversion kit that I

Thanks again for the suggestions, everyone. Still hoping someone will come through with a used bike offer...Woom and Cleary would be at the top of the list there, but I'm open, so let me know what you have! I'm hoping to avoid the big bike companies if I buy new, although there are some tempting

Quick bump before I get impatient and buy new shorts that I can’t afford: I'd love to buy a pair or two of MUSA shorts. Old style? Medium. New style? Medium or small. (Patagonia shorts are no longer on the trade block as I let the waist out and now they’re super comfy.) Thanks! Bob K. in

Interesting take, Patrick. I agree wholeheartedly that "...stems with extensions used with drop bars, and bikes built to use them both, have been around too long to be mere mistakes in design." At the same time, it seems to me that Analog isn't saying bike design is wrong or that people have been

OK--last try, I swear! Almost had a trade worked out, but it fell through, so my B17 is still available to trade for a C17 carved (slate/black). Thanks for considering! Bob K. in Baltimore -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Thanks for all the ideas! The bike I’d likely buy (if I do sell my Sam) comes with a stem with a 31.8 clamp diameter, so I could just migrate the Cowbell bar over to it. Garth may be onto something, though. I could spend a bit and buy the Nitto 31.8 clamp stem—it’s cheaper (and uglier) than the
