Keep in mind that these tubes are OS, so the 8/5/8 will flex similarly to a 9/6/9, and the 6/4.5 would translate roughly to a 7/5/7 in terms of measurable flexing properties. It of course matters more when you are comparing Rivs to vintage standard tubing steels like 531, Columbus SL, Ishiwata

An exciting Saturday for you! I hope you get her rolling quickly. I'd love to see a Rodeo in person some time, like all these bikes they look great. That cream and red is a great combo. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

Looks great. I'm a big dt fan myself. What's the build plan…. crank, wheels, brakes, bars…? On Friday, January 3, 2014 6:50:28 PM UTC-5, Paul G wrote: > > Okay folks, you asked for photos when it arrived so your wish is my > command . > > I had a coup

[RBW] Re: new Roadeo

I don't know RBW's thinking on that. Sometimes I think about going back to DT shifters for old time's sake and because they are spare/lean/clean. Then I think the better of it when I think of how well the BE shifters work and how used to them I am. I have thought about doing a brifter Shimergo

[RBW] Re: new Roadeo

Beautiful bike Forrest, thanks for sharing it. What is the thinking behind putting the Rodeo out without DT shifter braze ons? It's easy to convert these for BE or brifters, but impossible to add dt shifters after the fact. If I bought a Rodeo (unlikely although tempting), I would want to put
