There must be a trustworthy shop in Seattle that can at least look at your
set-up without charging you hundreds for a bike fitting. We often see bikes
come in for repair where the set-up just looks painful, where it was clear the
owner was attempting a DIY procedure to make it more comfy. Not sa

Can you post a good profile picture of your bike as it sits, and maybe one

I've got chronic lower back issues, and would like to offer a plug for
Pilates as a way to make the lower back a bit more robust. The doctor that
recommended it told me that when you start to get to the age where such
problems occur, you need some activity that regularly lengthens and
strength
Just my opinion and how I look at ...
If you feel to stretched out ... You probably are.
The more stretched out I am the better the bike usually feels for me on climbs
out of the saddle. Yes there are limits to everything.
Was the bike ever comfortable? If so what?

I'm 5' 7", 32" inseam, long-limbed and relatively short-waisted. Over
the last few years I've found that my 700c-wheeled Longlow has been
sitting unused more and more, while my bikes with smaller frames, more
standover room and 26" wheels get ridden All. The. Time. Is it about
size? Or just comfort
Ah, bike fit. This is a topic close to my heart. I've been struggling
with bike fit for a number of years now, but have recently discovered
somethings that have really improved my comfort.
First off, in addition to reading Rivendell recommendations, I'd also start
by reading Keith Bontrager
I'm 5'4" and am on a 48cm Hunqapillar. Most frame companies increase
(steeped) seat tube angle as the frame size gets small, presumably so
they can use the same threadless fork as the larger sizes without
cause toe overlap. That, alone, is the reason I ride a Rivendell and
a low-frills custom wit
used, not abused. two sets of struts = 25 and 34 cm.
maybe the best looking trunk bag rack around.
$75 here in Berkeley, $80 shipped.

Now THAT is a great looking bike! (biases fully admitted)

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for a decent frame for this purpose. Let me know what you have and
pricing.

OK RivBikers.. You had me at Bike Porn.
This is with the latest stem raise to 4cm above saddle height to
alleviate back pain. Will be adjusting per Dr. Esteban's advise later
today to see if my spine remains intact. I thank all those who
contributed advise. I do appreciate it.

That's a non-starter for me. I run a $300 dynamo hub and will not give
that up, so an extra wheelset would really add up ($400-500 for hubs, ~$150
for rims, ~$100 for spokes rim tape and sealant, ~$100-$140 for tires = up
to $900 if I build the wheels myself) For $1000 I'll stick with tubes an

So what was your previous component group & set-up? Wheel size? Type
of riding? Preferred h'bars?

Just picked up that you had started another thread with the same title
where you listed your previous components.
You mention you're at 9 speed now so why not stick with that? Plenty
of wide range cassettes from both Shimano & SRAM. It sounds like you
plan to change the crankset; consider Riv's

Well, if you need this size, I guess it's a somewhat fair price,
considering the workstand, etc. If you need a workstand. And the wheels,
etc. I'm just being a little cynical about the 61cm, but if you want that
size Makes me feel a bit better about what I paid for my 51 Bleriot

Thanks I am talking to a guy at Rivendell. I think I need a triple

not necessarily have to replace the 105 derailiers as they work well.
I was looking at the Shimano Ultegra triple crank in the front, and
getting a new rear cassett
This late winter I traded out my cockpit on my custom road standard. I had
been riding a bar-end shifter for the rear and friction for the front
derailer. But I got a deal on Campy 11speed shifters. These will mate with
Shimano 9 speed drivtrain perfectly. I also shrunk my Noodle bars from 46

That is a beautiful bike. It's good to hear that after 11 years it is
still "the favorite". A few subtle changes as time marches on but
fundamentally still the same bike. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful bike.
I celebrated my favorite bike today by logging 30 miles in a driving
rain. Rode to Mercer Island, found a beautiful green forest, took my
Bleriot for a walk on the trails, got lost(on an island?), froze my
butt, and had a great time. Some lousy iphone pics...

I forgot the best part. I had dropped my car off for service in the
morning and biked from the dealer. On the way back I flatted a couple
blocks away and was able to coast into the parking lot just as the
tire was becoming unrideablehah, hah flat god!

Is that your actual saddle height? If so, it looks like the bike is far too
small for you, and I'm not seeing the 3-4 cm bar above the saddle height. It
looks like the stem is maxed out and barely to saddle height?

I am a tease... ask anyone. I think I didn't doublecheck that the

As to crabs...they were kayak-caught last summer on Lopez. After
fresh crab cooked in seawater on the beach in the San Juans nothing
else tastes quite as good. Zone 7 has been good to us.
