It’s funny, if you look under bikes and hit geometry there is an apology that they are working on it but if you search geometry you get the above info. Hard to sell bikes when you hide info. On Monday, April 4, 2022 at 7:53:53 PM UTC-4 J S wrote: > > https://www.rivbike.com/blogs/ar

Re: [RBW] 2 questions: brake/shifter cables and chainstay protector

That is exactly how all of my bike have been set up with a front bag, never though twice about it, never had a problem. I guess if your cables/housing were cut too short reducing their maneuverability it could cause some friction tension but yours look perfectly trimmed. The chain stay sticker

Re: [RBW] Craigslist (and others) Bikes For Sale: 3

@Joe I agree it's such a beautiful color. I've seen one the same or similar color in the wild and loved it. The color seems so appropriate. I would have balked about a NOS Rivendell, too. That is, until I bought a pristine, never-built Wilbury several months ago (about which I have written her

[RBW] Re: Thinking of getting A Homer- does it feel quick?

Graham, I just got my hands on my brand new Homer *today*, and while it will stay in the shop for a day or two longer for the last couple of things/adjustments, I got to ride it briefly and it felt absolutely incredible. Mine is also the 58cm model (I'm 5'11"), I have it set up with Noodle bars

Re: [RBW] Re: going down the Brooks rabbit hole...

I've tried nose up, and even slightly raised it is numbing. Level works best for me. When I slide nose up it's uncomfortable. Sliding level is never a problem. I ride a B67 with chrome springs. I'm a big fellow, and it sometimes feels bouncy to me, not so much a rocking motion. The saddle makes

No. The seller was contacted by someone from this group wanting him to ship it. When he said it was local pickup only the person told him then he should sell it for much more. Congrats to whomever that was. Let this one rest. On Sunday, March 20, 2022 at 10:30:12 AM UTC-7 eric...@gmail.com wro

I always apply in very light coats. I end up using 6 or so coats. Like you I cover the front of the bike. I use plastic drop cloths and lasting tape. Alcohol, denatured Alcohol can take the shellac off of the places you do not want it. On Sunday, February 27, 2022 at 5:23:28 PM UTC-5 JohnS
