[RBW] Re: Upright / Relaxed / Swept-Back - Style of Riding

When I bought my Clem Smith Jr it was a revelation in riding. I had ridden mostly drop bars for many years and like you I would have shoulder and neck pain after long rides. The Clem with Tosco bars and an upright riding position solved my aches and pains immediately. I also discovered I could

[RBW] Re: FS: Droptube Rivendell Custom 54cm

If the Clem satisfies your needs I understand why you'd sell the custom. Life throws curve balls at times and forces us to make hard decisions. So, no second guessing here from me. Just be careful riding a motorcycle! I love two wheels but not at 60+ mph. :) Doug On Thursday, May 9, 2024 at 6:5

[RBW] Sam Hillbornes Go Live Tomorrow

I like the colors coming this go-round. The Sam seems like the perfect all-rounder and I would get one had I not just bought a Roadini. Who's planning to get a Sam Hillborne? Doug -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscr

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: 50 cm Roadini

The 47 is the previous geometry, I think. I compared the two on Bike Insights and there is quite a difference, more so than you'd think between the sizes. The 47 has much less stack and the top tube is about 4 cm shorter. I'd hold out for a 50 in the newer geometry if I were Leah. The newer mod

Nice Atlantis. What are you looking for in a Sam that the Atlantis doesn't provide? They are both great bikes. Doug On Wednesday, May 15, 2024 at 12:01:53 AM UTC-4 atreya...@gmail.com wrote: > Apologies everybody, didn't mean to spam. But the list let me attach only > one photo at time. Happy t

[RBW] Re: Atlantis 55 for sale

I'm not being critical, just curious. The Sam seems more of an all-rounder and the Atlantis more of a touring bike? I just bought a Roadini to ride mostly road miles. Doug On Wednesday, May 15, 2024 at 9:02:15 AM UTC-4 Doug H. wrote: > Nice Atlantis. What are you looking for in a Sam

Re: [RBW] Re: New Bike Day: My Little Platy

Leah, I tried the Silver2 shifters and also had ghost shifting. I used Loctite and still had ghost shifting. I've also used Microshift and Shimano thumb-shifters with no ghost shifting. That's my limited experience but I hope you get yours to hold like Patrick was able to do. I'm no mechanic so
