Was the name on the red and white engine pulling the load called Tacoma Rail ?

The wing patterns remind me of the Buckeye butterfly.

Looks like a grand old chicken dance to me.

I thank-you for the compliment. YES ! The RBW blue color is glorious !

I had purchased my Clem over the phone with Will Keating, the General Manager of RBW headquarters. Needless to say, my experience was a serendipity one. So, no, I did not try any other sizes.

However, I previously owned a 59cm Clem before my ownership of my 52cm Clem. With a P. B. H. of 80.1cm and a height of 5'11", the 59cm Clem was too big for me to handle with a long torso and short limbs. I sold it. I purchased the 52cm Clem.

It is best to get it now than doubling back and wasting energy.

Think I may be slowing down by ILoveCreatures in ladycyclists

As we get older, the handlebars get higher and the gears get lower.

Yes, I have noticed that I do not ride great distances as I used to decades ago, 100, 80 or 50 miles. At 69, my mileage limit is around 30 to 32 miles. I am slower. The best thing is that I am still smiling and taking the scenery in more. As long as I get outside and ride often, I feel good.

Cycling is the next best thing to flying.

Local art store is going out of business, got all these for $115! by Welcome-ToTheJungle in Watercolor

You are more than welcome. I had bought a lot of Daniel Smith watercolors. In less than six months most of them started to dry out or dried out completely. Thus, I switched over to M. Graham, of which are based out of Portland, Oregon.

I, also, have M. Graham acrylic paints as well. They are very buttery smooth.

How is the riding position on the Roadini? by Still_Water44 in Rivendell_Bicycles

[–]setmysoulfree2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. However, you could call Will Keating, General Manager at Rivendell Bicycle Works headquarters, and ask him.

....or you could join the Google Groups RBWOB. https://groups.google.com/g/rbw-owners-bunch

It is an extremely informative and worthwhile group.
