[RBW] Re: Knickers, morphed to Rain Gear
It is raining again... or maybe still,,. here in N. VT this morning. I have a very nice Showers Pass rain jacket, but it's only wearable below 65. I'm considering a rain cape. Can anyone suggest a good, breathable rain jacket that works in warmer weather?

[RBW] Re: Davinci splitters for cockpit swap
Thomas, Your page is great -- lots of useful information there. Also, I like the Kevin's bag on the front of the bike. I might try that. Do you know off hand which stems (model and length) you are using with each handlebar? It would be interesting to compare the exact change in effective cockpit length and bar height with your change in comfort level.

[RBW] Re: Davinci splitters for cockpit swap
I'm probably of no help here. The stem for each stemmed cockpit is the same... it's the Dirt Drop 100 (26.0 diameter clamp) from RBW (obviously N/A for the Bullmoose/ Tallmoose cockpit). I deliberately kept the stem the same because I wanted to get the full effect of the difference in handlebars. I sought the variety, not the notion of optimization. I've found myself comfortable with each of the bars, for my 10+ mile-each-way commute and for my 30-50 mile weekend ride. I'm least comfortable (yet still quite content) with the Noodles. I do love the feel of the VO elkhide. And it's fun knowing I stitched it up. I do vary Dirt Drop's insertion depth to taste. So the difference isn't entirely in the bar. Though, actually, I max out the height on the Dirt Drop 100 for the Moustache and Noodle and drop it probably 3cm from max for the Albatross. Since I started out so extreme, it's not entirely surprising that as I spent more time with more bars, I've actually *lowered* my Albatross bars from where I originally had them, which was also maxed out on the Dirt Drop 100. Them bars was high! Currently, by anybody else's definition, my Albatross bars are still high (maybe 5-8cm above the saddle... I should do the measuring and the math and figure it out someday). But man are they comfy! I expect that, eventually, I'll also get a 200mm extension Bullmoose bar (which I think would be a slight improvement for the Tallmoose arrangement) and then allocate the 150mm extension Bullmoose for use without the extender. Talk about variety! And I expect that, even sooner, I'll create a more stretched-out Alba arrangement with bar-end Silver shifters. I think that the use of a Dirt Drop with the Albatross and bar-ends would pose issues due to the closeness of the bar-ends. While I very much enjoy where the grips land with the Dirt Drop / Alba combination I have now, they could also be further forward and still be fine. And with bar-ends, I think a Technomic 11cm or 12cm stem might limit the likelihood of getting Silver-stabbed. Seems like that should kill vampires or werewolves or something. One thing my cockpit variety has taught me is that, within a pretty broad range, I may have a preference here or there... BUT (for *me*, for *my* riding habits, and for *my* riding environment) comfort is primarily about saddle position (and perhaps about the saddle itself). Having gotten that right, I can comfortably ride as far as I'm ever likely to ride on any of my cockpits. The variety is just icing on the cake.

Wasn't pretty, and turned the part black (black came off if you scrubbed it gently) I have had discussions with smarter people than me about this stuff and the consensus was that the draino gel isn't strong enough to cause issues for the short durations we are soaking our parts. Still if its your first time maybe try a junk part and see for yourself. I really don't think its an issue, but am happy to be corrected by someone with experience with this sort of thing.

[RBW] Re: Davinci splitters for cockpit swap
One thing I learned is that having chosen Paul Motolites made this project significantly more expensive. Each cockpit has its own noodle. And with most brands/styles of linear pull brake, my approach to this would have meant replicating a $5-$10 part for each cockpit. With the Motolites, I think it was more like $35 for each cockpit to get the hooked canoe / noodle combination. I do *not* regret choosing the Motolites. They really have a noticeably better feel than other linear-pulls I tried (Deore, Tektros). Now, there may be non-Motolite alternatives that I would be just as happy with. And that would not incur the multi-cockpit $ penalty. But... I do love the Motolites. And at some point you just stick with what you know works and quit looking. The only real suggestion I have (beyond anything I put into the cockpit web page) is to get cable cutters that work well. I started out with a set from Park that were truly horrible. It was so frustrating to burn through my entire supply of cables being unable to get a clean cut. I've since become convinced that these were an anomalously bad set. But the ones I use now are Shimano brand. And work beautifully. I can't remember where on the web I got them. Generally speaking, I positioned the three couplers (rear brake, front/ rear derailer) a few inches below the housing stop (downtube for the derailer, top tube for the brake). That few inches allowed for more than enough travel in the bare cable between the stop and the male coupler. I didn't do any precise measurement. If there's an optimizing principle behind the choice that I either should have followed or accidentally did follow, I gave it no thought. I just knew that the cable had to be able to travel sufficiently to do its job (i.e. travel without the coupler running into the stop). If I go through the whole process again at some point (just to freshen all of my cables at once, say), I'll give some thought to putting the couplers as close as feasible to the stops (with safety margin of course). Somehow that seems right. But... like I say, I only know now that I'll look into that when the time comes. I have no problem to solve with the way mine are positioned now. They function perfectly. I'll link this thread to some pictures tonight. Now that I think of it, the coupler positioning may not be all that apparent in any of the pictures I have linked in my cockpit story's web page.

[RBW] FS Rivendell Road Frame
Selling my 60cm Rivendell Road frame. This was built by Joe Stark and painted by Joe Bell. This frame would run over 3k now. TT and ST are 60cm, rear chainstays are about 435-440mm, dropouts are horizontal. It has very ornate lugs and is beautiful. Has some honest light beausage but no dents or dings. Still looks really nice.

Couple questions: What's the rear wheel spacing? What's the widest practical tire you can run with fenders? Without fenders? Do you have a price in mind?

OOPs yes the price is $750. The rear spacing is 130mm, its a mid reach brake and a 30mm could fit with a fender, probably a 32mm could too.

[RBW] A different path to the same end
Anguished long and hard between a new Simple One and a John Deere lawn tractor but decided to mow my hilly half acre lawn filled with ruts using my simple push mower. Turns out its probably good training for hills on the Simple One and it uses my legs different to boot. It takes about 3 hours to mow and another hour to weed wack. At least my new bike will be a nice shade of green (but not John Deere green thankfully). Thought about goats...maybe I could look for some green ones. ; ) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Road Std up for sale on the bay
So, here's a Road Standard that looks like it has been repainted, maybe not, and the seller says he was a framebuilder at Waterford and bought the bike then, but he can't recall the date on this frame, somewhere 1995 - 1998. Wouldn't a Waterford worker know to look at the date code on the BB shell? http://cgi.ebay.com/Rivendell-61cm-Road-Bicycle-Handmade-Steel-Lugged-Frame-/110688923199?pt=Road_Bikeshash=item19c592ee3f -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Road Std up for sale on the bay
Doesn't know how to spell Ambrosio, or the difference between an extended top tube and an extended head tube. And I doubt that that frame will take a 35 mm tire, mine is about maxed out with a 32. I'd be wary.

[RBW] Re: Road Std up for sale on the bay
Not that I know the guy or anything about the bike, but from what I have read the guys on the waterford line are not always bike people. I know it sounds shocking but many of them a just guys working an a factory on metal things. Maybey he got a heck of a deal 15 years ago on what was just a bike to him, thought he could give it a go, and now he needs some cash? you could always give waterford a call and ask if you were really concerned.

[RBW] Columbia Gorge Ride
Today was an absolutely amazing day here in Portland. I woke to sun and expected highs in the 70s. I ended up doing an out and back from home to a few miles past Multnomah Falls. In spite of the nice weather the traffic wasn't too bad. The descent from Crown Point is really one of my favorites. It also makes for a great climb. I rode the Hilsen with no fenders, a small saddlebag and JB Green tires. I gotta say, the Hilsen felt light, fast and responsive. It's a great bike and today was a perfect day for getting out on it.
