One Riv, to be accurate. And I need to sell the Bobbin 'cause my recent Brompton purchase makes it kinda redundant :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an

Wait a sec, you have a Brompton and a Bobbin Metric too? And some Rivs? You probably replaced your car with equal volume of bikes, which I'd love to do, if nobody else was keeping an eye on my credit card statements 😉 👍🏾 On Thursday, December 22, 2016, Ashwath Akirekadu wrote: > I think Riv sho

I have a Brompton, too, and the front bag system is fabulous. I agree that a front block on a Rivendell would be a cool feature, but Grant would be apoplectic about losing his headbadge space ;-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" gr

Thanks! I think this lever looks great. Bobbin Metric seems like a cool bike. I'd definitely want to give it a ride if I run into one someday. A coworker of mine, who is 6'3" rides a Brompton. I crack up every time I see such a tall figure riding on tiny wheels. The bike is just awesome.

Hi AA, the levers are Tektro short-pulls off my Bobbin Metric mini velo, linked below. Kinda low-end, no adjusters at the lever, but they're a nice silver and work with road brakes and cantilevers. http://bobbinbikes.com/product/metric/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed t

Thanks, Michael. The lighting is courtesy of my Google Pixel phone has an amazing camera, and I figured out how to put the bike in the sun. I take notoriously terrible photos, so this was quite an accomplishment ;-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "R

No worries, Edwin, it's going! I originally bought that threadless Nitto for some long forgotten mtb I had..now it sits on a V-O adapter as a stem length tester before I buy a proper quill stem. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" gro
