Hello all who have responded and thanks for your interest.  The saddle has 
sold to the first person whose private message got to me.  I checked the 
forum after that message had been received and found all these other 
interested folks.  I'm quite sorry their messages somehow did not get to 
me.  I've never had problems getting messages to others from either my Mac 
desk top or my Motorola Droid.  Hope y'all can find similar saddles to 
satisfy your needs.  Steve.

Re: [RBW] Who's ridden a Steamroller and can compare to the Quickbeam?

[Grant @ Rivendell]

In about 6 wks, by about Dec 10, we'll have 20 total/6 sizes UP TO 59cm of 
the Frank Jones Sr, a singlespeed frame designed for Blue Lug, our Tokyo 
dealer. We made 20 extras for us. 
• seat lug (new socket style, but made for 3-deg upslope) and head lugs 
(custom style)
• fillet-braed bb
• 28.6mm min triangle tubes (seat and top tbes usually are, but for FRANK, 
the downtube is, too).
• clears 38mm tire. clears 33.333 w/fender  (as long as feners are not 
aluminum)
• 120 rear spacing, new rear dropouts---track style...two eyes for rak & 
fendr. No der tab. Angle like Quickbeam's, long, too.
* brake reach is 59mm (necessary for 38mm tire). Brake options? Tektro 559, 
Paul or Compass centerpull, or new Dia-Compe 610 centerpull (not out yet)
• stay & fork rack mounts

Sizes and QTY we're getting:
53cm (7)
55cm (5)
57cm (6)
59cm (7)

The frames are designed to be comfortable fits with drop bars, but it's 
more of a classic fit than a RIVFIT 2017.8. In our experience, any drop-bar 
bike can take an Albatross bar easily,,,so FRANK can, too.

Sizing by PBH:
Mark's PBH is 82 and he'd ride a 53. Mine's 85 and I'm getting a 59 that I 
wish was a 58.

This is a paved-road, light-load singlespeed frame, not a "Manny bike" ! 
More info will follow. It's going to cost about $1,400 for 
frame-fork-hs-seat post (27.2)

[RBW] Trigger shifters on swept-back bars - Jones or others

[Joe Bernard]

That's a nice shifter, Melanie, but I agree it's a bad fit on Chocos..I tried a 
similar shifter on a Choco-Moose. The only way it sorta worked was to move up 
on the curve, which then felt far away and awkward for me. I think they work 
better on bars that don't sweep straight back.

[RBW] Re: Trigger shifters on swept-back bars - Jones or others

[Ed Carolipio]

I've used Deore 3x9 shifters on a 710 Jones Loop and a Bosco, and it works 
well for both.

I found the best position for shifters on the Jones is pretty darn close to 
the loop. A superlong grip (like the ESI Chunky, which they sell) or just 
bar tape gives a myriad of hand positions across the outside of the bar, 
along with the associated shift in saddle position and/or angle to the 
back. The indicator window on the Shimano does sneak up over a part of the 
"loop" portion, which may restrict the secondary position on the inside 
grips on the Jones bar.

On the Bosco, because of the wrist position, the triggers are about a 1/4 
turn rotated with respect to the ground. If you see folks with pictures of 
the Ergo grip positioning on the Bosco - Grant has some photos posted on 
the Blug with his wrapped Dutch paddle grips, 
https://www.rivbike.com/blogs/peeking-through-the-knothole/last-one-of-march-2017
 
- just imagine how the triggers have to rotate around CW on right and CCW 
on left to be under the brake levers.

[RBW] Re: Trigger shifters on swept-back bars - Jones or others

[Clayton.sf]

Use triggers on Jones bars for both the dropper post and the 11 speed 
shifter (integrated via i-spec with the brake lever).

Trigger on Choco- and Bosco-mooses too. They work great and there is enough 
real estate on the bars to make them not get in the way.
On the Choco I ran the shifter right by the right side intersections of the 
"V" bar and the main bar. On the Bosco I run the shifter on the right side 
about 2/3 down right before the bar bends into the flat bar portion.

Personally I like triggers over bar ends as they are in a less vulnerable 
position. Plus a lot of miles are on bumpy terrain where indexed shifting 
works better for me. Less trimming and more control since I can actually 
keep my hands on the bars while shifting.

Best,
Clayton Scott

[RBW] Re: Who's ridden a Steamroller and can compare to the Quickbeam?

[Coal Bee Rye Anne]

If I remember correctly they did state in the Blug that "a few" of the Blue 
Lug singlespeeders (Senor Frank Jones, I think) would likely be available 
in the US but not to expect any tall ones.  The Rosco Roads have Simpleone 
forks and the same clearances as QB/Simpleone but not the long track 
ends... you could get around this by using two chainrings with the same 
tooth difference as a Dos Eno freewheel which keeps the wheel position the 
same in either ratio.  I've done this with my Milwaukee Orange One 
singlespeed using 42/44 rings and 17/19 dos eno (42x19 or 44x17)

[RBW] Re: Huge Rosco Mixte

[Coal Bee Rye Anne]

Jay, I'd absolutely love one of each but it's unfortunately not in the 
budget... nor do I have the space.  When choosing the 65cm Clem H as my 
first Riv the value of the complete pre-sale and the timing of it's release 
were a major deciding factor.  In hindsight, had I waited for the Mega 
Bubbe to be finalized I'd still have needed a set of wheels/tires which 
would put the total cost well above the Clem complete and life events would 
have likely ruled out the entire expense at that time anyway.  However, the 
temptation of a 64 Clem L frameset (as well as the large Hubbuhubbuh!) are 
still certainly high with future family biking in mind.

[RBW] Re: Brooks B68 for sale

[lconley]

Brooks no longer makes the B-68 and the Rivet equivalent (the Loveland) 
weighs almost a pound more than a B-68, might as well get a B-67 at that 
weight. I no longer am comfortable on something as narrow as a B-17 or 
C-17. The C-19 and Rivet Loveland are about the only wide, 
non-sprung,single rail saddles at this point.  The B-68 seem to me to be 
more comfortable than either, so I buy them when I can.

[RBW] Trigger shifters on swept-back bars - Jones or others

[Joe Bernard]

I don't have triggers on my Jones Loop, but I've used them (Shimano RapidFire) 
on a bunch of bars with a similar sweepback. I think they work well this way, 
the front trigger you pull back with your index finger is actually a little 
easier to reach at this angle.

I've used them on Albatross, too, but that was less successful.

someone's email is on the daily digest I get, if they have posted or replied

Re: [RBW] Trigger shifters on swept-back bars - Jones or others

[Jay Connolly]

There a ton of room on the Jones bars and on the Ospreys. I use Shimano 9 speed 
on the Joe with Jones. They work great. I got a deal too good to pass up on a 
1x crank, and someone gave me a brand new 11-42  cassette for free, so my Clem 
L will be a 1x11. It strikes me as a little absurd, somehow, and a little 
anti-Riv, but I’m looking forward to it.

[RBW] Jones 2.5 Loop on Clem L

[Joe Bernard]

The bar does work well on this frame, but needs a very short stem to work with 
the longish virtual toptube. This would be true on old mountain bikes, too. I 
have a Thomson threadless 40cm on the way from Jones Bikes, V-O doesn't make an 
open-face 31.8 quill that short. 

The rack is Nitto Big Back Rack - Medium, which answers the question, "Should I 
really spend that much money on a load-bearing piece I'll use all the time and 
will be a major focus of attention when people see the bike riding buy?" YES!

Re: [RBW] Rivs with the Jones Loop/Bend H-Bar (Map/Ahearne too)

Love the pedals. There’s a thread about them somewhere here. I bought them 
because I have size 14 feet and suffer from hotfoot when I use flat pedals. 
They ARE spendy, the moreso in Canadian dollars. I have several bikes but only 
one set of those pedals. Really, they are aimed (in my world) at touring.

[RBW] Re: Huge Rosco Mixte

[Coal Bee Rye Anne]

These Rosco mega mountain mixtes look terrific.  I had eagerly anticipated the 
details of the larger Rosco Bubbes but when the 65cm mega Clem H was announced 
and after an email exchange with Grant I determined the Clem Complete was right 
for me at the time.  This was before the specs of this model were officially 
released but he said enough for me to know they’d be great and to make want one 
of each anyway.  Then my wife and I found out we were expecting our first child 
a few months after taking delivery of my Clem, which is now expected to be 
converted for baby hauling duty come spring, so now I’m rethinking the step 
through thing all over again with the recently announced 64cm Clem L. I’ll 
probably see how the H works out first but kind of kicking myself for not going 
Rosco now that I desire the step through a little more.  Enjoy.

[RBW] Re: Rivs with the Jones Loop/Bend H-Bar (Map/Ahearne too)

[Brendan McD]

Tim,

I also feel like I'm always in a search for the "perfect" handlebar, and 
frequently find reasons to change them. I currently have the widest Bosco 
bar on my Hunq, which is great, but does come waaay back and doesn't do me 
many favors when riding off road. I've also happily used the Bullmoose, 
which fits much like my favorite bar: the Simworks Getaround. It's wide, 
the grip angle fits me perfect, and it has plenty of space for levers and 
shifters. Definitely check their bars out. They have some funky shapes, but 
are made by Nitto and therefore I think they mostly still look "right" on a 
Riv.

I also have stashed 710mm Jones bars and 31.8mm On One Mary's. I'm also in 
Portland and would happily invite you to come check out any bars in my 
collection. Feel free to message me off-list if you're interested.

I'm pretty sure I'd like to get the saddle, Steve. I tried to reply directly to

[RBW] FS: XL Singular Gryphon F/F/EBB

[Reid Echols]

(Cross posted with iBOB) 

This one’s a catch and release for me; I bought the full bike from Philip 
Williamson here on the list, but am finding I prefer suspension for the 
rocks and roots here in Austin. Will likely build up a Surly or something 
similar, but my loss is your gain! 

Frame has a few marks of beausage, but generally clean and free of dents. 
It rides beautifully, like a lighter faster Fargo; just the right amount of 
flex, and it takes 27.5 x 2.8 tires easily thanks to the EBB; no strike 
issues even with a 180 crank. 

Asking $400 shipped in the lower 48. Includes frame, fork, and Phil wood 
eccentric B.B. shell (no headset, but I can thrown in a Cane Creek 40 for 
whatever it costs to have it knocked off the old frame it's on). 

Pics of it built up here:

[RBW] Jones 2.5 Loop on Clem L

[masmojo]

I like that bar and it looks great on the Clem(entine), but yeah finding an 
appropriate stem may be a challenge. Have you checked out Velo-Orange? That 
handlebar bar looks ideal for early 90's mountain bikes that typically had long 
& low front ends. It might be ideal for my Fat City Monster Fat.

Actually, what really caught me attention was the rack!  Which one is that? 
I've had difficulty finding a rack that fits my Clementine as well as that one 
does!

Re: [RBW] Trigger shifters on swept-back bars - Jones or others

[Tim Gavin]

I'm using 3x9 Shimano MTB trigger shifters with the Jones Loop 710 bars on
my '88 Schwinn KOM.  There's plenty of real estate on the ends of the 710s
to fit brake levers, shifters, and grips.
Narrower bars may not have enough real estate; I have a set of early Jones
Cut Loop bars in 560 mm which don't have enough space there.

The angle of the under-grip shift levers isn't as good as it would be on a
flat (un-swept) MTB bar, but it works fine for Just Riding Around and
occasional trails.

I could take a picture later if you'd like to see the setup (quill adapter
to threadless stem, FYI).

[RBW] Trigger shifters on swept-back bars - Jones or others

[A CT Cyclist]

Funny you should ask, I've been thinking about the same thing. I'm looking at 
the Sun race trigger shifters for 10 speed road because they look clean and 
would be compatible with my shimano road derailleur. Has anyone used trigger 
shifters from them. If I was building the bike up from scratch I think I would 
go with Dram triggers.

[RBW] Trigger shifters on swept-back bars - Jones or others

[Melanie]

Has anyone found a trigger shifter that works well with swept-back bars?  I may 
have to install bar ends or go the oddly mounted thumb shifter route. But 
triggers near the brake levers would be ideal. Thanks.

Re: [RBW] Rivs with the Jones Loop/Bend H-Bar (Map/Ahearne too)

[Jay Connolly]

Benz, the Joe has been that way for a couple of months. I used a drop bar for a 
while but have enjoyed the bike much more with the Jones. I use the bike as a 
hauler at our cottage. Lots of bad pavement on narrow roads, with bail-out 
roadside trails for when the traffic is heavy, so the bike takes lots of 
knocks. It also has me yanking and pushing on the bars when I stand, and I’m a 
super-duper Clyde. I had the same initial reaction as you to the two-bolt 
system but have had no issues. I bought the Joe to be my touring bike, but life 
got in the way of a planned tour last summer. Will definitely tour with the 
Jones bar.
