[RBW] Re: Road Std up for sale on the bay

[Joe Bernard]

Ambrosio is easy to misspell as the dessert name; he's just quoting
standard Rivspeak for the tire clearance, and makes it clear that's
what he's doing; extended top tube for Rivendell means he's thinks
the toptube is kinda long for a 61cm Rivendell.

There is nothing suspect about this ad.

 Doesn't know how to spell Ambrosio, or the difference between an

 frame will take a 35 mm tire, mine is about maxed out with a 32.  I'd
 be wary.

  1998. Wouldn't a Waterford worker know to look at the date code on the BB

[RBW] 58 cm Quickbeam still available

[Tim Smith]

My 58cm Quickbeam is still up for sale. The price has been reduced
to $1290, and now includes packing and shipping to anywhere in the USA
lower 48. If you pick the bike up from my house (SF Bay Area), the
price will be
$1250. Hard to believe that this almost like-new bike hasn't sold
yet. I wouldn't be selling it if medical conditions didn't mandate.

This bike was re-painted bright yellow--for esthetics, not because of
crash
damage--in 2009. New wheels with Phil hubs and Mavic rims were
professionally-built by Peter J White.  The cantilever bosses were
removed
before the repaint, and Tektro side-pull brakes installed. It's done
only a few
miles since the re-paint.

Email me for complete specs and pictures.
Call at 650-572-8831 (evenings) if you'd like to discuss the sale.

 It
 has very ornate lugs and is beautiful. Has some honest light beausage
 but no dents or dings. Still looks really nice. These Road frames are
 hard to find and would be a nice alternative to the Rodeo.

I want to chime in here and say I've bought a romulus from Andrew and
he was honest and easy to deal with.

[RBW] Re: Front derailer for 48-38-24: Shimano, Campy, IRD?

[Ginz]

Reporting back:

I found an old but lightly used Shimano XCE braze-on front der. on
eBay.  I swapped it for the IRD Alpina-d and, sure enough, the action
of my Silver shifter is a bit easier on my thumb.  Perhaps the lever
arm provides more leverage or the spring is a bit lighter.  Either
way, I'm sticking with the XCE. I imagine that if indexing,
specifically with brifters or rapid fire, the difference would be less
noticeable if at all.

If I can find a few more XCE's or similar to stock pile, I'll probably
unload my IRD's here!

Yeah, open-wheeled roadster mode was awesome. After all my recent
miles on Marathons, I have to admit the JB Greens felt great. I need
to do a bit of a tire shuffle between the bikes--JB Greens to the
Bryant rando (if they'll fit, could be tight, Marathon Supremes from
the QB to the Hilsen, and the Marathon 700x32s that were on the rando
to the QB. Should be all set for summer after that.

From my house to the Multnomah Falls is 36 miles according to The
Google. Since I went past the falls I think the total mileage for the
ride was 85 or so.

Sure was a nice day to have off. Now it's back to work for the next 3
days. I may leave extra early one morning and go through Forest Park
and then just shower at work.

All trivial and easily remedied.  If you like the Ramboillet and it's
your size, go look at it.  Remove the cages and fix the angle of the
bars ( 1 minute at most ) before you make up your mind.

Not a big deal, and that's a decent price for a full bike (even if
quite a bit of it is old)

Yes, I guess it's not a big deal, but it just looks bad to me.  I'm
trying to make an educated decision and go in with my eyes open.
There's a lot to like.  I've always thought the orange is great.
I wonder, too, what the story is with the mismatched wheels (maybe the
hubs match...) and what's in the drivetrain.

[RBW] Selling My Rivendell Custom

[John Bennett]

Dear Forum Friends,

The time has come to sell my Rivendell custom. I thought I would start
here, before branching out to a wider audience (read: eBay).

I haven't ridden it much in the 10 years I've had it. I'm not a racer,
and prefer to get around on my Saluki commuter and my Atlantis. I am
the original owner.

The bike is fast, light, and handles great.

The frame was built by the legendary Joe Starck, and painted by the
equally legendary Joe Bell in 2001.

The frame size is 63.5cm, center-to-top, with a stand-over of 87cm.

The top tube is 58cm, measured center-to-center. The chainstays are
44.5cm.

There are some pictures, and additional specs, here on Flickr:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/63176651@N08/

The bike is clean, well-cared for, and barely ridden. It has spent the
last several years living in my office at Rivendell. I've never used
an odometer, so I can't tell you just how many miles it *doesn't* have
on it, but it isn't many.

Email me with any questions, or if you need more photos.

Asking price is $4,000.

Cheers,

John Bennett

[RBW] Re: Anything look odd on this Ram?

[William]

It's a horribly executed build on a very very good bike.  Do a quick
mental inventory of the parts that must be replaced when you see it.
If you feel like you'll need to replace lots of stuff, then lower your
offer.  Plan on doing the equivalent of a rebuild at least.  The
number I'd keep in mind is that the Ramb frameset seems to go for
about $750 these days.  If you decide the wheelset and drivetrain are
usable, then for sure $1000 makes sense.  If everything is usable,
then $1200 isn't outrageous.

Of the pictures, the one that concerns me the most is the front wheel
sitting WAY offcenter in the fork.  Make sure you know how to verify
that the fork is not bent.  I'm sure others on the list are better
than me at this, but when doing a tool-free inspection, my approach
would be

1.  make sure the front wheel is seated in the tips properly.
2.  If its way off center like the picture, spin the wheel
3.  if the wheel is reasonably true, take it off and reverse it
4.  if the fork is straight, then the wheel is out of dish, and
reversing it will make it offcenter the same amount to the OPPOSITE
side.  If the fork is bent and the wheel is dished correctly, then the
wheel will be just as badly offcenter to the same side.  If both are
bad, then its harder to separate how bad without tools.

Hopefully it's just that the seller hasn't put the front wheel in all
the way, and there's no problem.

Re: [RBW] Anything look odd on this Ram?

[Sean Whelan]

Looks to me like any bike that was:

a.) built up in part with components that were hanging around the garage
b.) entrusted to someone for care who doesn't know much or care much about bikes


Those are sometimes the best value purchases.

Good Luck!

All trivial and easily remedied.  If you like the Ramboillet and it's
your size, go look at it.  Remove the cages and fix the angle of the
bars ( 1 minute at most ) before you make up your mind.

[RBW] Re: Selling My Rivendell Custom

One other thing: It has MKS Royal Nuevo pedals, Christophe toe clips,
and Cinelli top straps. Those dang pedals ran $90+ ten years ago.
I have a second pair if anyone has been looking for them.

[RBW] Camping and riding in the Sierras?

[Philip Williamson]

Not a bike tour, but places to ride and camp along a Sierras route
from Salem, OR to Anaheim, CA.

My boss and I are driving from Portland to a trade show in Anaheim
next month. We're taking two days each way, and going through the
Sierras, not I-5. We'll camp one night or two, and are considering
bringing our bikes. If you have suggestions for great mixed terrain
rides around Susanville (the halfway point), or along 395 or 95, I'd
love to hear them.

I'm really excited about this - dragging the Google Maps route off I-5
added a couple hours driving each day (less than I expected), and
turned a grueling chore into something potentially great.

[RBW] FS: Oddball very cheap lugged steel bike for one of you super tall folks

[William]

My kids go to Harding Elementary School in El Cerrito.  I'm a member
of the Dad's Club, an offshoot of the PTA that is more about getting
stuff done than it is about having meetings.  This weekend is our
first annual bike sale.  We took donation bikes from the community,
fixed up the bikes and are now selling them back to the community.  I
wanted to broadcast to the group three items:

1.  If you have a bike you want to get rid of, don't want to sell it,
and live in the bay area, let me know, and I'll take your donation and
give you a tax deduction receipt
2.  If you need a cheap 16 wheel bike for a kid in your life, let me
know.  We got a lot of those.
3.  If you are SUPER tall and want a beater, we got a 27 frame Fuji
Valite that might be hard to sell this weekend.  Seriously, its a 69cm
frame size, 27 inches.  The derailers were both toast, so I set it up
with straight bars and a Quickbeam like double.  There are two gears
that work with the horizontal dropouts: a small ring--big cog climbing
gear and a big ring--small cog cruising gear.  We'll probably hang a
$80 price tag on it.  Let me know if you want a super tall beater.  It
is totally ready to set up as a geared bike again.  If it was my size
I'd use it to build a retro-direct like in the Riv video.

Re: [RBW] Anything look odd on this Ram?

[PATRICK MOORE]

It looks worth a visit to me. It looks as if the owner wanted to make
his rear aero lever into a non-aero lever, so presumably you'd have to
re-string the rear cable and re-tape that side of the bar (actually,
re-tape the whole thing; black don't cut it for that color); alter the
hook angle and lower the damn' bar.

and I'd snatch that Ram up if I wuz you Daniel. Even with some parts
swaps it's a good deal if the frame is straight and it fits.

Other than max tire width it's same frame as Hilsen. Sturdier than a

The frame looks to be in good condition, but the sloppy work on the

Re: [RBW] Re: Anything look odd on this Ram?

[cyclotourist]

OK, at home and can see ad.  Wish he was closer and I could check it out for
you, but that's a bit of a drive in a direction I never go.  The frame does
look really nice.  Components a serviceable mis-match of someone's garage
bin; probably the original owner swapping out the good parts when they were
selling it.  Can't see the drivetrain side, so who knows about components,
find out if they're decent stuff, and if so, looks like a great bike!  If
not, point out the flaws and talk him down.

Good luck, and if you're driving by (which you would be on the I-10) drop me
a line!

Re: [RBW] Camping and riding in the Sierras?

[cyclotourist]

If you're bring bikes and can work it into the schedule, DEFINITELY plan on
breaking loose for a ride on the Orange Co. coast or maybe up to Santiago
Pk!  I'm sure we can even come up with a loaner or two if pressed!

Bishop is a pretty cool area to check out.  Lots of riding in the foothills
up there, although I don't know specifics (it's usually covered with snow
and I do CC up there).

 My boss and I are driving from Portland to a trade show in Anaheim
 next month. We're taking two days each way, and going through the
 Sierras, not I-5. We'll camp one night or two, and are considering
 bringing our bikes. If you have suggestions for great mixed terrain
 rides around Susanville (the halfway point), or along 395 or 95, I'd
 love to hear them.

 I'm really excited about this - dragging the Google Maps route off I-5
 added a couple hours driving each day (less than I expected), and
 turned a grueling chore into something potentially great.

 Yeah, open-wheeled roadster mode was awesome. After all my recent
 miles on Marathons, I have to admit the JB Greens felt great. I need
 to do a bit of a tire shuffle between the bikes--JB Greens to the
 Bryant rando (if they'll fit, could be tight, Marathon Supremes from
 the QB to the Hilsen, and the Marathon 700x32s that were on the rando
 to the QB. Should be all set for summer after that.

 From my house to the Multnomah Falls is 36 miles according to The
 Google. Since I went past the falls I think the total mileage for the
 ride was 85 or so.

 Sure was a nice day to have off. Now it's back to work for the next 3
 days. I may leave extra early one morning and go through Forest Park
 and then just shower at work.

[RBW] Re: Anything look odd on this Ram?

[Daniel]

Thanks for all the feedback.

I didn't like not seeing the drive-side, either.  I hope to get new
pics when the seller comes back next week.  He says the bike was his
father's who is getting too old to ride (which reminds me of this
story: 
http://articles.latimes.com/2011/mar/14/local/la-me-long-beach-tricyclist-20110314),
but I understood his father to be the original owner.  I'm hoping to
speak to the dad so I can get a better history.  If the history is too
nebulous, I'll have to say no.

-Daniel

David, I'll let you know if I make it out your direction to see the
bike.  The other mark against this bike is moving across town at the
end of the month, so I don't know when I'll be out to see it.

 bin; probably the original owner swapping out the good parts when they were
 selling it.  Can't see the drivetrain side, so who knows about components,
 find out if they're decent stuff, and if so, looks like a great bike!  If
 not, point out the flaws and talk him down.

 Good luck, and if you're driving by (which you would be on the I-10) drop me
 a line!

 My boss and I are driving from Portland to a trade show in Anaheim

 Sierras, not I-5. We'll camp one night or two, and are considering
 bringing our bikes. If you have suggestions for great mixed terrain
 rides around Susanville (the halfway point), or along 395 or 95, I'd
 love to hear them.

 I'm really excited about this - dragging the Google Maps route off I-5
 added a couple hours driving each day (less than I expected), and
 turned a grueling chore into something potentially great.

You made the correct choice on that one.  There was a photo in
Adventure Cycling magazine recently of a guy who adapted a push mower
to a bicycle.  He pedals to mow his lawn.  Talk about getting in
training while doing something useful.

[RBW] Re: Camping and riding in the Sierras?

[Michael_S]

Not sure which Bishop David is thinking of but it rarely gets snow and
actually right now it's fairly warm 80+.  There is some nice riding
west of town off hiway 168 toward Bishop Lakes if it's not too hot.
High Desert terrain until you climb higher.  Not really the Sierras
either. It is the Owens Valley, a down dropped fault block between the
Sierra's and White/Inyo's.

The area around Mammoth Lake is nice, but the silty ash soil  makes
dirt road riding tougher on fat road tires. I love the climb to Lake
Mary up 203. You can loop around the lake and then take Old Mammoth
road back to town. Should be free of snow in June.  Old 395 between
Crowley and Rock Creek rd is nice and so is Rock Creek rd.  The ride
over to Red's Meadows is fun too from the town of Mammoth lakes.

and of course Lake Tahoe has some nice rides too. Out of your way
perhaps.

 Bishop is a pretty cool area to check out.  Lots of riding in the foothills
 up there, although I don't know specifics (it's usually covered with snow
 and I do CC up there).

[RBW] WTB: Nigel Smythe Bar Tube / Candy Bar

[Thomas Lynn Skean]

Hi, all!

I'm seeking a Nigel Smythe largely-cylindrical handlebar bag, in at least good 
condition. I don't know what the official name of that model is.

The ideal candidate is canvas, though I'm interested also in the tweed.

Please contact me off-list if you have one on which you're willing to entertain 
offers of cash (paypal) or trade.

Yours,
Thomas Lynn Skean

Re: [RBW] Re: Camping and riding in the Sierras?

168 is exactly what I was referring to... wonderful Xcountry skiing in the
winter.  The road is totally closed in the winter, so you can take it all
the way up to Lake Sabrina.  A lot of good cheap fun!
