It's spelled both ways on the packaging. I finally put the bars and stems into the store. The porteur bars cost $48 for a packaged pair or $35 for the ones that were stored bare and scratched. If you get the cheaper ones you can do a full wrap with cloth tape and shellac them.
We have three types of Belleri stems. Actually there is a fourth type that will go on the special's page. They cost from $20-$28.
We just got our first shipment of Nitto Technomic Deluxe stems. Those are the cold forged type with a nicer finish than a standard Technomic.
We will also be stocking Nitto Lugged stems in a nickel finish. So far we only have a few in 120mm size, but we hope more will be available. Our price will be $125.
Finally, we now stock the Sugino old logo XD500 cranksets. $99.
These are really neat. I hadn't seen this shape before.
ReplyDeleteI love the way that the Herse porteur and Gentleman bikes just had a few quick wraps of shellaced tape, instead of actual grips. To my knowledge that was his standard way of rigging a porteur. It's just so cigarette-dangling-outta-the-mouth Gallic. Definitely going to go for that look on my current city bike project.
is this the same stem as rivendell, and if so how is it so cheap
ReplyDeleteShould I make them more expensive? ;<)
ReplyDeleteYou should look into stocking the TA 110bcd chainrings. They're quite a bit nicer than the Sugino rings.

Prices here aren't "cheap", they are just right. Riv fluctuates from expensive to flat-out overpriced - just about anything on the Riv site can be had for significantly less from reputable, deserving e-tailers.
We charge what I think makes a fair profit for us, not what the "market will bear". In most cases that will give us a price advantage, but not always. For example, a store that stocked up on Brooks saddles before the last two price hikes could sell them for less than we could. But would they???
