Re: [RBW] stripping a black steel rack: options?

Hi Brian — This isn't something I've done before but here's my take. Is it this rack here? https://tumbleweed.cc/collections/products/products/mini-pannier-rack This rack is likely powder coated. If you want it painted silver-ish or stripped and then clear powder coated my recommendation

Eric, I don't have any parts for you but good luck in your quest and conversion. That's a great-looking, classic Riv. I love the paint. I certainly support the 650 conversion and fitting 42s with fenders. What tubing is your bike built from? I've also been curious how 1up racks do with

Re: [RBW] Introducing the Charlie H Gallop Protovelo

Looks great, Jason, and sounds like a good compliment to your other bikes. It's cool to have your rigs squared and sorted for particular purposes. Dustin — I'm not 100% but I think that might be a seat-tube mounted folding lock that has a cage that mounts to the bottle bosses. On Monday,

[RBW] Rivendell paint color repetition: Your thoughts

Hello friends — I've noticed that over the past few years Rivendell have been using some of the same paint colors on many frames through several production runs. If there's been a discussion of this practice, I've missed it. I can't quite put my finger on it but something about the same paint

[RBW] Re: FS Items - NIB Rims, Wheelset, Shifters, Brakes etc

PM sent about the shifters. Those Suntour XC seatposts are great. If you have a 27.2 seat tube and don't need tons of setback I recommend. Great adjustment, lightweight. Good price, too. On Thursday, April 20, 2023 at 8:02:29 AM UTC-4 Ryan wrote: > Not in the market or anything but just

Re: [RBW] Re: 26.8 seatposts with generous setback

We should all take a moment to thank Garth, our resident setback technical expert and advisor! Still think reaming my seatpost to 27.2 ø is the best course forward. Sure wish I could live with the current setup On Friday, April 14, 2023 at 2:34:14 PM UTC-4 Garth wrote: > Don't buy anything

Joe — I found an UNO SP-248 on eBay, it's $28. The seller is in the UK but shipping to me in Virginia is only $7.40 when I add it to my cart. Not as cheap as other Kalloy posts but not bad. I wonder if I could feel a 1/4" difference in setback. https://www.ebay.com/itm/133459989643 On

Thanks, Joyce! I'm glad you could get the proper setback with your Platy. I'm now pondering the reamer + S84 combination... I sure wish they weren't so expensive! On Thursday, April 13, 2023 at 3:27:57 PM UTC-4 Eric Marth wrote: > Yeah, Laing, the S84 is the ultimate! I have on on my Hillbo
