Maybe one of you know the answer to this - what’s the best way to mount a phone to the ST5 stem? It looks like the stem has a built-in spot for a mounting device. Is there one that fits this bike? I can’t find any good info on that. Maybe SP Connect, but which one?

I am picking up my ST5 Limited Edition today. I also have a Riese & Muller Superdelite Rohloff HS. I love the R&M’s nice smooth ride. But sometimes I want a sportier, fast ride and the ST5 is my doctor’s prescribed medicine 👌🏻

Congratulations! Is that the single battery version?

Someone on the R&M Facebook group posted photos of their recently arrived dual-battery Homage. It may be the first one anyone has seen. The photos provide a good indication of what the dark blue will look like in daylight. Hopefully this link to the photos work -- not sure if you need a Facebook...

There are quite a few topics covered here, so I’ll try to address a few if not all. First, yes, the Homage is a near perfect step-through bike, and you will really appreciate the full suspension. The (in particular, rear) suspension would be the reason to select it over the Nevo. In general...

Actually, yes. There's no question that it is easier to wait for the perfect bike if you have even a lesser one to ride while waiting. In our case, we live in a hilly part of Silicon Valley where if you want to get out and ride, eBikes are ideal. As we didn't have eBikes yet -- the R&M bikes...

PeterK, I feel your pain. It is very frustrating. We also placed an order for the dual battery Homage HS Rohloff at the start of September, and last night R&M delayed it for the fourth time, with a new expected delivery of mid-March. I know many on this forum will say that it's not the end of...

I just got my brand new Superdelite Rohloff HS on Saturday and on its maiden voyage yesterday my Shimano pedal scraped the ground on a high speed turn. It left only a minor scratch on the pedal, but it certainly made it clear to me how important it is to pay attention to pedal position on turns...

Looking at that photo, I completely understand! Getting on and off the Superdelite can be an ordeal for some compared to the low step-through frame on the Homage. I do love the suspension on my new Superdelite with the upgraded fox suspension and GX option. It is a very comfortable ride. I...

Ahhh... sorry. I got the GX upgrade which has the Ergon GP 3 bar-end handles. Perhaps that’s what makes them look wide in the photo.

They’re pretty wide. Each one has a battery in it. Top one is a 500 and bottom is a 625. It’s a heavy bike. 70 lbs. But once you’re riding it it feels like gravity-defying magic 🙂.

That’s funny - I just did the same thing. Also with the New Wheel in San Francisco. They got a brand new fully tricked out Superdelite and I cancelled one of my Homage orders and picked it up last night. I’m out riding it already 😍

David, Interesting... I never thought to ask for it. Now that you bring it up, I can see both upside and downside to it. If we park our bikes together and someone somehow gets one of our keys (unlikely as that would be), they could easily steal both bikes. On the other hand, if one of us forgot...

And for even more added perspective (not that you asked for it 😂), multiply it by two since I have two on order for me and my wife.

I like that approach. Mine required I pay 100% on order placement.

Yes, you're absolutely right and I don't fault R&M for things they can't control. And I do believe they make great products. But I do fault them for setting completely unrealistic expectations in the first place. Taking orders in September for a newly redesigned bike in the middle of a pandemic...

I’m simply saying it does not appear to be about Covid since it is not a problem with availability, but rather quality. The previous post said they received the battery covers but they didn’t fit on the frame correctly, and that has pushed production to late January.

Then there would be more bikes than people to ride them! Seriously though, based on everything I’m hearing and reading, the Homage delays are less about Covid and more about manufacturing and quality control issues, particularly surrounding the new frames.
