Certainly doesn't look like a 56 as here's mine. Just looking at the head tube. David Hays Buffalo, New York On Thursday, April 5, 2018 at 4:43

[RBW] Re: Homer Hilsen stolen in San Francisco

Have to agree - that ad is kind of weird. Left brake lever is kind of "bonked" in a bit. Even though they specify 56, it looks a tad smaller in the photos. I supposed it could be a relative or non-knowledgeable person selling for the original owner, but it's reasonably light on details and Ri

Eh, the CL bike could pass as a 54 or 55 and powder blue is not a stock AHH color. It's a reasonable move to flag it for Tom. -- 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,

Edwin, Several things jump out at me. Nothing about this posting suggests that the seller knows about and appreciates the bike he’s selling is a Rivendell — which is what you’d expect if he had ever spent $3000 on it. Strange color in the photos at the very least, but also non-drive side photos

[RBW] Re: Homer Hilsen stolen in San Francisco

Looking back over Edwin’s comment, I realize that e/ correct plus the size is noted as 56cm. Apologies to the OP of the CL for my disparagement of his ad and to the OP of this post for a false alarm. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunc

It is not the same size as his bike. On Thursday, April 5, 2018 at 10:56:28 AM UTC-7, C Sharp wrote: > > Hi Tom, > > Is this your bike? This CL ad seems fishy to me. > > > https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/bik/d/rivendell-homer-hilsen/6549937327.html > > Best of luck, > Cameron > Brooklyn --

[RBW] Re: Homer Hilsen stolen in San Francisco

What do you find fishy about the ad? Except for their poor understanding of the difference between "your" and "you're" of course. Priced high, pictures of several potentially unique aspects of the bike, and a posted serial number. What made you think it might be the stolen one? The "powder blue

Also, let know Riv know directly. If a kind soul picks it up under suspicious circumstances, they might contact Rivendell directly. On Sunday, March 25, 2018 at 1:35:26 PM UTC+7, Cyclofiend Jim wrote: > > Hey there Tom - > > Posted this back in early 2016 - > > Resources: > - If you are in the

Ugh! Good luck. We had bikes stolen last summer. Two were recovered around 15th and Folsom. I checked the tent encampments in those areas and hadn't seen them in the afternoons or evening, but another person discovered them during early morning commute hours. Both were 'bought' for a $100.

I'll keep an eye out. I had my Bridgestone XO-2 stolen last year, chased after the guy. On Saturday, March 24, 2018 at 11:35:26 PM UTC-7, Cyclofiend Jim wrote: > > Hey there Tom - > > Posted this back in early 2016 - > > Resources: > - If you are in the Bay Area, you may have heard of Jenny Oh'

Post some photos here, there's lots of folks in the bay who read this list and will keep an eye out. Also check Laney and Oakland Coliseum Flea Markets this weekend. Lots of hot bikes pass through there. On Saturday, March 24, 2018 at 9:13:57 AM UTC-7, Tom McIntyre wrote: > > we live on Buena V
