My three would be - RMX pedals. Now on all three of my bikes. For my riding style (lack thereof), they work. Wiggy sleeping bag. Just used it at a 4 day bluegrass festival. And two weeks earlier on my overnite to Wisconsin. My favorite bag in years. Clothing. Can't be specific as I like the r

Another "nice thing" is the RMX pedals. They're stupid cheap, and work amazingly well. I've probably ordered half a dozen through the years - maybe more - as I sell or give away bikes. They're not expensive enough to bother removing before a sale, so I always end up with a new stash from Rivende

It's a peel-off. I got one with a recent order (as well as a Rodeo postcard) a couple months ago. I put the decal on my seat tube just below the 2 decal on my Atlantis. On Aug 12, 2:59 pm, Joe Bernard wrote: > I like it when I get a little extra in my package. My recent > vest/pedals/visor order

I have a couple of items that I really enjoy and Rivendell not only sold them to me, but turned me onto them as well. 1. Sackville BarSack with Nitto rack. This is a great handlebar bag that not only functions well but also looks great. I had an Arkel handlebar bag before this, which functions f

yep. the sticker is described as "typical Rivendell quality." I laughed out loud at that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rbw-owners-bunch/-/xRWh9r

Yes. I like ringing my bell as I pass pedestrians on the trail. I prefer ringing it rather than saying "on your left." Or maybe I just don't want to talk to anybody while I'm enjoying ride, caught up in my own thoughts and paying attention to the environment around me. For this, the bell works well

Two nice small Riv things to add: 1) the Spoke Reflectors and 2) the Irish Straps. Every bike in our home has both a pair of spoke reflectors and a set of Irish straps. The spoke reflectors can also be attached to the back of a Keven's bag in a pinch. But those dang straps keep migrating to oth

Thanks for sharing that ,Bill. My wife loves ringing the bell when we ride together, and it does have a very pleasant, crisp sound that says "hello" more than "outa my way". I have two of the early Selle Atomica saddles and the leather has worn very well and they are the most comfortable sadd
