Re: [RBW] Re: Hidden Blogs?

This is the most-likely-to-sell size, and my understanding is they need 10 sales to create enough cash for the project. Not my size and I just bought a Clem, but if I were one of the fence-sitters I'd get off that fence. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Re: [RBW] Re: Hidden Blogs?

Well, at this particular moment in time, only one more than half have been spoken for, and they're only giving it 6 more days to see if they can sell the rest. Probably a few people on the fence like you, so it might work out, but the deal was supposed to be that those truly interested would

Re: [RBW] Re: Hidden Blogs?

I would probably throw down the greenbacks, but the timing is just a little off for me. I liked pretty much everything except the wheel size (seems a stretch for the frame size) and the caliper brakes, but neither of those was a deal breaker for me, in fact they interested me in their own way,

Re: [RBW] Re: Hidden Blogs?

I keep struggling with wanting to avoid talking about this bike, to keep from generating interest and competition. But now, I guess there's a need to make sure enough people understand and buy this first model before the 20th, for the larger version that *I* need and want to even become a

Re: [RBW] Re: Hidden Blogs?

Eric, I do not think it is intended to "bring Riv to the masses" -- at 10 or so per size it is seriously low volume. It is a way to make some fun, moderately priced bikes that could also utilize existing fork stocks. Julian Westerhout Bloomington, Il On Wednesday, April 13, 2016 at 5:31:01

Re: [RBW] Re: Hidden Blogs?

The bike rides great. I test-rode it at Riv last week, and Grant put the seat up high for me, and even with my 93 cm PBH, it felt good. On Apr 13, 2016, at 8:59 PM, dougP wrote: > Still trying to get my head around the funkatube. I think maybe that's where > the weirdness lies. But lots of

To me it looks like the second tube on a klunker. Which isn't particularly weird to my eye, but I like it. -- 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

Still trying to get my head around the funkatube. I think maybe that's where the weirdness lies. But lots of times things look better to me in person than in pictures. dougP On Wednesday, April 13, 2016 at 4:12:45 PM UTC-7, Philip Kim wrote: > > Yeah seems super long for a 50cm med bike

Re: [RBW] Re: Hidden Blogs?

Well, the Surly comment comes from a Riv comment related to Clems, which are a little cheaper. I was speaking about cheaper semi-TIGed Rivendelld in general, in that I like the idea. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

Re: [RBW] Re: Hidden Blogs?

It's still about 2x the cost of a Surly, so it's not exactly going to bring Riv to the masses. Eric Dublin OH On Wed, Apr 13, 2016 at 11:17 AM, Joe Bernard wrote: > I guess I'm used to it already, but I have a semi-TIGed CLEM so I've had > plenty of experience with them.

[RBW] Re: Hidden Blogs?

I disagree. I'm not a geometry expert by any means, but I can't think of any stock bike so... elongated. A 63cm virtual top tube and 485 mm chainstays on a what is essentially a med to med/large bike? I haven't seen any other specs beside that and the seat tube (50cm) but at first glance it

[RBW] Re: Hidden Blogs?

I guess I'm used to it already, but I have a semi-TIGed CLEM so I've had plenty of experience with them. I've always been a big proponent of this - the possibility was floated by Grant when Riv first started - but got no traction with it the last time I brought it up 7-or-so years ago. I like

[RBW] Re: Hidden Blogs?

Yeah, it is kinda weird. It's also weird to me how very un-weird the frame is as a whole, given how much Grant played up the weirdness these frames would be. I was expecting something really...well...weird. What came out feels like a pretty safe frame to me. This just reminds me of a prettier

Since you brought it up, I signed up for the new bike blog out of curiosity but if I had the funds, I would seriously consider ordering the first design. It's the right size and I like the design details mentioned in the most recent update. The color would just be a nice bonus since I'm
