Very nice! All of the Rosco frames are rather unique. On Monday, January 9, 2017 at 7:12:01 PM UTC-5, dstein wrote: > > In my never ending quest for a 700c road-ish bike (for my short ass at > 5'7") with drop bars and wide (over 33mm) tires I've finally landed on a > Rosco Bubbe road! I road the

Re: [RBW] Re: New Bike Day (Rosco Road 53cm)

Seems more like 8 or 9 months with no rain to me (didn't the rainy season just start last week?). However I still like keeping fenders on my commute bike year round. Good for puddles and such, nice they are already there if rain erupts, and makes a great place to put a pixio xba. With the countr

Glad to hear ityou guys seriously need the rain I understand In Winnipeg we've had about 80cm of snow since early December Maybe that's why we haven't heard from my reasonably close neighbor , Mr. Reimer. I hope he's not buried under a snowdrift, although he is such a hardy (and smart ) g

Re: [RBW] Re: New Bike Day (Rosco Road 53cm)

Yeah I go back and forth with fenders all the time. I have some for another bike but they're not currently mounted, I keep putting it off and we're halfway through the rainy season already. I rarely if ever ride in the rain and am usually not bothered with wet roads after a rain without fenders, an

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day (Rosco Road 53cm)

agree...I kind of like it the way it is now. I like the color, I like the build...if you have to put fenders on it the cream SKS fenders might look nice with that bronze paint job. Sounds like it rides great. On Tuesday, January 10, 2017 at 1:13:56 PM UTC-6, Mark in Beacon wrote: > > Sharp loo

It's been raining a great deal in the Bay Area (CA) and so I'm happy I have mudguards on "McCarthy" (my 58cm Rosco Road). While noodling through the downpour this morning, I was meditating on Rule #9 and also contemplating removing the fenders and puttin

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day (Rosco Road 53cm)

Sharp looking bicycle in an understated but not boring color. Reading between the lines of a recent post on the Rivendell site, it does seem these bikes are being built with a lighter tubeset than the country style road/trail machines, but that's just a guess. The head badge alone is worth the

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day (Rosco Road 53cm)

Very nice. It's nice to see a pretty road bike here; it seems like most of the posts concern off road or commuting issues. Now I know it doesn't rain often in Ca., but don't you think a nice pair of hammered fenders would add even more bling? BTW, the temperatures here have been hovering in s

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day (Rosco Road 53cm)

Cool bike, I considered it myself as a single speed but then realized I already had lots of bikes, including one 700c fully built up and another frame I was going to do as a 650b single. (but neither will handle a 40+mm tire) I would suggest putting the brake levers lower on the curve, can you
