Can't really buy any new bikes for a bit, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on this. -- 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 email to

The draft brochure version makes more sense. The other one has comically overlapping PBH/SH numbers. -- 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 email to

And then there's the GBW brochure draft's "Picking a size " page, which recommends slightly different PBH ranges. Tom On Sunday, June 16, 2019 at 4:31:35 PM UTC-4, Garth wrote: > > > > Here is the wheel

I kinda recall there being some implication of 27.5 tires when it was introduced . but I too may be incorrect . hey it's a crowded club Joe ! On Sunday, June 16, 2019 at 4:44:55 PM UTC-4, Joe Bernard wrote: > > Ah, my bad, I coulda sworn this was strictly a 27.5 bike. I am often

I believe all Boots variants are going to be 650B/27.5. My personal thoughts on the matter at hand: Boots is going to be great and if one has even an inkling that it will do the stuff one likes to do, be patient. Clems are great, too, if that's really what you want and the price works better

[RBW] Re: Gus pre-sale

Thanks Patrick. Large goes to 700c on the production models. In any case, not a huge deal. I'll probably opt for the medium. And I think I've convinced myself to go for a Hillibike instead of Clem L (don't worry, BBDD, I have the memories!;^) On Sunday, June 16, 2019 at 3:47:18 PM UTC-4,

Mark, I'm not sure what the production bikes will be, but my Large Gus is 27.5+/650b. With abandon, Patrick -- 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 email

BBDD--No need to worry about me needing a bike SOON. Although I do not currently own a Rivendell, I have an entire fleet of Rivalikes, including my 1946 Bianchi 650B step through city bike, which does Clementine duty. I'm okay with either of the current colors, but I favor the bronze green,

Mark, if your rims are Alex DM24's you're fine as they are 32mm outer/24mm inner. The only other suitable rims I'm aware of are the Cliffhanger and Ryde Andra 40 and Big Bull. _ If I get a HillyBike I'd ride it as I ride my 60cm. Bombadil which is mostly on road

[RBW] Re: Gus pre-sale

Gus is magical on rough stuff, loaded or unloaded, from the untamed MUP to washboarded dirt road, to 4x4 roads that make you wonder how anything with four wheels makes it until you realize it's on three wheels much of the time, to singletrack that flows and swoops, then plunges into forest

[RBW] Re: Gus pre-sale

I own a 46 Clem L (with the 26" wheels) and a small proto Gus (TIG welded but still 650b wheels). I'd argue there are significant differences between them, with my advocating for the GBW if you have the budget and if you plan to use it for off road. Deacon Patrick's experiences

[RBW] Re: Gus pre-sale

Oh, Mark, I remember you being deeply, madly in love with your Clementine. I don’t remember that there was much you would have changed about it, if anything. With that kind of love, it’s hard to see you without a Clementine in your future. And the bonus is that you can have it SOON. Do you like

[RBW] Re: Gus pre-sale

I have a bunch of the parts from my Clementine. I am wavering between getting another Clem L frame and fork and getting one of the Hillies. Other than taking a bigger tire and the construction method and the tubing arrangement on top, I wonder how much difference there will be. I would not be
