Pitching in on the Bleriots as a Kiwi: I can't see the FB listing, but I expect these to be the same frames I've seen previously listed on another online trading platform here in NZ at $1400NZD. If they're now listed at $1800, I'm inclined to believe this is still in NZD, around $1000USD. For

Re: [RBW] Bombadil and Hunqapillar origins: The definitive thread

I wouldn't mind if my Hunqapillar was painted Dupont Imron, Light Continental Blue Metallic w/clear coat!!! I've always loved the color of Breezer #1 and those early Stumpjumpers in a similar color. On Tuesday, December 13, 2022 at 12:53:02 PM UTC-6 J J wrote: > Echoing Shoji's message, I lo

Re: [RBW] Bombadil and Hunqapillar origins: The definitive thread

I had it on the wall in my office for years. I've never heard it mentioned, but one of the early Hunqapillar brochures showed three colors they had planned for the heat tube and decals, red/maroon, orange and blue, which apparently didn't make the cut. The three Mammoths on the poster seem t

I think I've seen a Riv that was a very similar color..maybe a Hillborne. I always thought it was a great color for a Riv! On Sunday, December 11, 2022 at 9:28:31 AM UTC-6 Luke Hendrickson wrote: > Eric – man he’s been snapping up Rivs and Ritcheys left and right! I love > it. > > On Sun

[RBW] WTT - 80mm Jim Stem for 120mm

Hey all, anyone out there got an IRD Jim Stem that’s too long for them? I’ve got an 80mm and I’m looking for the 120mm to better suit my albatross bars. 25.4 clamp. Thanks! Chris (Seattle) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch&q

Re: [RBW] Re: Cockpit Quandaries - Friction bar ends for a new rider

It wasn't until 2019 that I switched over to biking after running for a number of years due to issues with my knees creeping up. Anyway, I hadn't been on a bike really since I was a kid, so I grabbed a complete Surly Cross-Check, which came with bar-end shifters. After about a year of riding,

That is so sweet looking, Dave. It really makes me want to jump on it before all of the Platypus frames are gone. On Sunday, November 27, 2022 at 4:56:14 PM UTC-5 DavidP wrote: > A few more pieces have come together, and now my Platy has rear shifting: > > [image: IMG_20221126_160328219.jpg] >

[RBW] Re: WTB/ISO Crust Juan Martin Bars for 1993 Bridgestone XO-2

I've got a sycip singles bar which is similar to the Juan Martin's for sale. Also, how's that front v-brake working? I have a 93 xo-3 with the narrow spacing between studs, I think the xo-2 was the same frame/fork with different component spec. Chris NYC On Monday, 21 Novembe

[RBW] Re: The do-it-all Rivendell of choice

I would say the Appaloosa. I don't know the tube specs on the Hunqapillar but I've seen them for one run of the Appaloosa and I'm pretty sure the Hunq has lighter tubes. Last time I looked at Appaloosa geometry in my size (54-55cm), the Appaloosa was pretty much a longer chainstay Hunqapilla

I remember reading where Grant, or one of his long-term employees but I think Grant, said on front end geometry handling there are a few numbers they hold to but they don't discuss them outside the shop. Trail would be an obvious one, but I've always thought it would be interesting to hear the

[RBW] Your preferred handlebar for longer rides

Just a general question to the group: what handlebar do you like best for rides longer than say, 15 miles? I assume many of you would say drops. So to refine the question a bit, what non-drop bar do you like best for longer rides? Personally, almost all of my rides are in the 2-15 mile range. I
