Is there any difference between these two bikes other than componentry? I think the frames are both the same from what I gather.

Ok understood. That's ok, thanks for the offer to keep an eye out!

OK, it looks like the Retrobike Rocky Mountain literature stores are well stocked!

Removed - Shim was cheap, seatpost not

Hi IHseeker, do you regularly flip bikes? If so, I have a request or two!

Hi, I was speaking with the daughter of a former owner of a long historied local bike shop who was a Rocky Mountain dealer for ages. She retained several print catalogues as memorabilia. What's missing in the Retrobike archive as far as Rocky Mountain goes? Maybe I can ask to borrow those...

Looks like someone bagged it. All the new owner needs now is a darth vader or batman costume and he could go out for Halloween riding in style.

I comb the local listings everyday, longingly looking for a !@#$%^ steel frame hybrid for a tall rider but in vain thus far. On that lonely journey, you stumble across other interesting listings. The following being one of them...

I found this site today. Very interesting reading - many brands I'd never heard of. The bicycle market is tight with lots of choice for the consumer. https://thebestbikelock.com/bike-brands/

I'll ask the seller one of these days and see what he says. I know that no one will pay that kind of money he hopes for this bike. It is just that I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Why should I be "that" guy even if it is true? I would recommend that he keep it to use as he'd intended or give...

Bar ends (bards)? You bet! I use them whenever possible on the bike that I ride. The really tough thing is being able to find a design that is both ergonomic in design and has an opening at the end (like for putting a handlebar bar plug) to insert mount a mirror on.

Hi, I'm looking to buy a Rocky Mountain Sherpa 30 in a double XXl size, colour not important. This is the road bike version, not the modern mountain bike type. New, they were about CDN$1500, on the used market about $400. I could go for just the frame and fork too. I'm in Canada.

I am not sure of the model year of this bike, but it would be interesting to fish through the patria catalogues to confirm that weight. I read (translated) that some german riders who own the bike state that it is stable, but heavy. Heavy, relatively speaking. My objective was to find a "zip...

Hi RV, are you in Germany? There must be a lot of Patrias there. With no distribution in Canada, Patria is a complete unknown here.

I would happily ride an older steel framed Hybrid, by either Norco, Univega etc. None exists in my size here and I have been keeping an eye open for a long time. I have a 2009 Cannondale Quick 5 at the moment which literally dropped in my lap a few years ago. However, it is one size too small...

Ok, thanks for everyones input on this bike. I don't how to go about offering someone $400 for something when he has it listed at 6 times the amount though. I don't even know if it will fit. The seller lives out in the country. He mentioned he is 6'2" in height and the frame has a 23" top tube...

The owner states the top tube measures 23". I guess these Patria bikes have not much resale value. If it fits, I'd buy it for the right price. I certainly don't need to have it. I was in the market for a steel framed hybrid on which I could fit fat tires. This lead me to try and find either a...
