[RBW] Re: My favorite photo-capture of the year
Thanks for all the good words on this photo and brief story. Smitty, good eyes, you've identified the setup I have currently. This may be the last ride on the Homer for the season. It's about to get snowy and cold and with winter I like running fatter tires no a more stable ride. Enter the 68cm Bombadil. It's ready for action and performing better than ever - I took on some thick forest single track in the dark of the tonight and had so much fun. 2.5 hour ride which started at 8:15 pm. Pumped the legs hard mostly the whole time and felt like a kid all over again. The Bombadil is so much fun. If you don't have one you should get one 'cause you're missing out :) Tom and I stopped for a hot-second in Pontiac, MI ... rough neighborhood. I took a few photos: Light Pole Bomba http://www.flickr.com/photos/amisingh/6324212663/in/photostream/lightbox/ The Wu-Tang Clan Lives On http://www.flickr.com/photos/amisingh/6324216591/in/photostream/lightbox/ And ... I was craving a peanut butter banana sandwich through the whole of the ride ... So I made a variation on it when I reached home. http://www.flickr.com/photos/amisingh/6324276139/in/photostream/lightbox/ On Nov 7, 10:41 am, David Spranger daspran...@gmail.com wrote: Beautiful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Celebrity sighting on brevet
I did the SFR Del Puerto Canyon Brevet last Saturday. The ride on Del Puerto Canyon Road was spectacular. It has been a while since I did a 24 mile continuous climb. Fortunately it was only steep at the end, but dang it was steep at the end. Beautiful country there, especially since it was cool and not yet raining. The only place to have a control out there is The Junction Cafe, and all the randos treated themselves to a big plate of whatever. I had a monster helping of chili fries. In front of the Junction Cafe, I spotted an unmistakeable rig. The rider had overnighted mear Mt Hamilton and his group was going to camp again Saturday night, despite the guarantee of rain. It was odd running into a familiar face and rig out in the middle of nowhere. Name that rider: http://www.flickr.com/photos/45758191@N04/6324307454/in/photostream The brevet finished with 2 hours of darkness and about 3 hours of rain, but all in all it was a delightful ride.

Re: [RBW] Riv-riding motorcyclists?
Like many of you, I am also a decades riding motorcyclist, albeit no longer. In 1976, July 4th, I had my photo taken at the top of the pass leading into Jackson, Wyoming. In the photo, I am posed beside my old 1969 Harley (what a piece of junk that ride was) in front of the elevation sign, in a blowing summer snowstorm. Immediately following that shot, I rode into Jackson and managed to grab one of the last available motel rooms, which I shared with two bicyclists who also got stranded in Jackson after the authorities closed all the passes in and out of town for a day and a half due to ice and snow! Jackson was full of all sorts of two-wheel riding folks, as that was also the first year of the Bike-Centennial, later to become, I believe, the Trans-Am route.

[RBW] Dent in Seat Stay of Saluki
So I recently acquired a used 58cm Saluki off the List here. I thought that it would be a good choice because I love the classic look of the Homer but at $1200 shipped I would be able to save almost 1k. Seller insisted bike was perfect but when it came it had a ding in the downtube and a small dent in the chainstay by the BB shell where it looks like a chain dropped and got caught up in the crankset. Now the ding in the downtube doesnt bother me because it is really small and barelly visible but I know the BB is under alot of flex and just hope that it is gonna be ok to ride this thing long term. I really just need to be talked down before I flip the frame for 1k and lose 200 or ship it back to Cali and have the tube replaced and bike repainted and spend over 500 bucks. Here is a link for the pics I took of the damage, just looking for opinions here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/67889635@N06/?saved=1 Just really disappointed that i thought i was getting something I could ride for a long time and now feeling doubtful about its long- term viablilty.

[RBW] Re: Riv-riding motorcyclists?
I have been riding motorcycles since 1990. For a while, about seven years, i did not have a car, just my bicycles and my moto. I needed a small truck and got out of them in 97, then got back into motos in 04. We had taken a road trip from Cali to Wqshington state, and while there, I brought my bicycle and did a century in Redmund. Tired the next day, we rented scooters on San Juan island, and had a blast. With my daughter on the back. she told me that if I got a scooter, i could take her to school everyday. done It was a 150cc Vespa, and it was too slow for the hills around here, so i sold it and bought a Honda Hawk Gt650. I was putting 10k a year on my bicycle, about 6k a year on the moto, commuting. Then i got a ninja 650, fuel injected, and at 10k miles, had an accident in which a lady pulled out in front of me, and stopped. I had the skills to skid and slide around the back of her, then she panicked and i was afraid she was going to through in in reverse, had a tank slapper reversing directions, went down. I wear full gear. I rolled, my full face helmet was destroyed. Had i not been wearing it, I would not be here, or i would not have a face. I shattered my right arm into hundred of pieces. It was doubtful i would regain use of it. I have a plate and 13 screws, and worked really hard to get it back, and it is fine. My doc said most folks don't come back from my injury like I did. That said, i still ride. I restored another 650 Hawk (cult bike, google it, or i can send you a link to my restoration). Then I found one that was a collectors, almost no miles, and bought that one, sold the other on CL. I ride it maybe once or twice a week. I love it, but i could give it up. Mostly keep it around now as backup transportation in case something happens to my car, since i now live alone. Just yesterday, i was thinking if I had to choose, it would be the bicycle. I love things with two wheels. To the original question, i prolly put 7k miles on my bicycle a year, and 3k miles on the moto. Do love watching motogp, and one of my favorite racers was killed two weeks ago at Sepang race. It gives me pause for riding.

which I rode from CT to OR last summer ('10). The bicycle/mc ride
ratio varies, but it's all good. For the BMW GS series there is a
company (2x2 I think) that makes a mount to take a bicycle on a
motorcycle. best of all world's!

Re: [RBW] Riv-riding motorcyclists?
I like the modern Triumph recommendations, they're getting a great reputation for reliability, yet they can be as pretty as the classic examples.

[RBW] Re: Shellac Question
I've tried fixing dark spots by brushing on denatured alcohol... it's a can of worms I would recommend NOT opening. I've tried it twice. First time I ended up giving the whole thing (cork grips) a bath in denatured alcohol and starting over with thin coats. There was a little marbling effect left over from the botched attempt but now that the grips have been in use for over a year it's a non-issue. Second time was on a coat rack made of curly maple. Again I applied amber shellac too thick and tried to fix it by brushing den-alco on the dark spots. It got really ugly (splotchy) really fast. I ended up sanding the whole thing back to bare wood and starting over with thin coats of clear shellac to let the curly grain shine through better. The grips in the pics look great! I imagine if you put them on as-is and started riding, any short comings in the shellac will soon be minimized to a non-issue with a little busage. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Riv-riding motorcyclists?
Patrick, I used to own a lovely BMW Airhead, an '87 R80. It had the smoothest motor you could imagine, with lightweight wrist pins and Cariillo rods... not as vintage as some Beemers, but still plenty of soul, and fairly easy maintenance. Yes, they do take maintenance, which you should lovingly embrace. My 2000 oilhead R1150GS needs much less fussing, has more torque and higher power, but most of all - it simply fits me better, a tall bike for a tall rider. Not knowing your height, you have many rides to choose from. My simple suggestion? Take and pass the MSF course FIRST, and if you're still motivated, get a $2000 used motorcycle - any motorcycle - and learn to ride. Learn balance, throttle, learn to pick it up when you fall, learn about wet roads and staying on the gas. Get some scrapes and bruises, nicks and burns. Then, and only then, consider something more ex;pensive. As much as I like my beemer, I am awfully fond of Yamaha's WR250R/X. Simple, lightweight, superbe fuel consumption, great handling, easy maintenance. - Andrew, Berkeley On Mon, Nov 7, 2011 at 2:30 PM, PATRICK MOORE bertin...@gmail.com wrote: I'm an outsider looking in for this thread, but I've long been interested in getting a motorized two wheeler.

Re: [RBW] Dent in Seat Stay of Saluki
+1 for 'don't worry about that at all'. I just acquired a steel frameset in which the steel chainstay is squished so far that the tube walls meet in the middle. And that's the right chainstay. It's squished like that to maximize chainring clearance and tire clearance. It's not the way GP would have done it, but it is totally common. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Ride Pics - Rambouillet in Bodega Bay, Coleman Valley Road, PCH
Thanks for the responses and queries. David, the brake levers have grown a lot on me. The tops are less flat on top than the other tektro and Campagnolo levers, but the actual lever part fits perfectly in my hand. With the Tektro widemouth brakes, they stop and modulate really, really well. Toshi, that's a Rivendell Mark's Rack with a little loafer. I don't put much it - - something to eat, small camera, iPhone, sometimes a windbreaker or jacket. Or I strap the jacket on top. It's perfect for all that and doesn't affect the handling of the bike at all. The bike descends beautfully with or without a full bag in front. Ray, I haven't mapped this yet, but the ride is basically the last 1/3 of the Gran Fondo. From Bodega Bay, head north a mile or two on Highway 1. Just past Salmon Creek and Coleman Beach, you'll see Coleman Valley Road. Take a left and head up into the hills, then over to Occidental.

Greetings from North Yorkshire, England. Tonight I had a bit of a moment while trying to mount some new Schwalbe Winter studded tires on my old, old, made in Wisconsin, USA, Trek 610. I got all excited when the front tire fit with adequate-but-not-optimal clearance, but then things went pear-shaped on the rear. First, since my rear wheel is sporting one of those accidentally- asymmetric Australian Velocity rims, so it was impossible to mount the tire at all, as the bead kept popping off the slightly lower side. (I had been running Panaracer Pasela 32mms, which apparently have enough bite to mount on these loppy rims.) Second, even if I had been able to mount the rear tire, it was obvious that it wouldn't have fit. Thirty minutes later, and the frame was stripped for sale, and will be up on ebay.co.uk soon. I have a box of OK to nice parts that I will transfer to a new or new to me frame, as soon as I source one. If anyone is one the fence about selling a beat-up (but not bent) old Rivendell frame, one that allows mounting the biggest, fattest 700c tires available, please let me know. I need about a 62cm. In the meantime, what was my backup, a spiffy Surly LHT, is now my daily driver. If you're wondering, I like having at least two properly functioning bikes ready to go at all times (I'm car-free).

An unsolicited puff: The short bill, ear-flapp'd, woolen caps are the bees' pyjamas. Just got myself one and it's nicer than my Caroline Plaquette custom woolen earflap cap. Cheaper, too.

[RBW] Re: My Store (cycling caps and jerseys)

For commutes to/from work, I usually just wear my work clothes (jeans/ shirt/sweatshirt or sweater, regular shoes).

For heavier rain I'll sawp in full Burley rain pants and shoe covers (this year I've been useing RBW Splats and they work well). If it's really cold I'll add a woo ear band to the cap, or swap in a heavier wool cap with ear flap.

Yeah, dibs on one of the samples. :-) Though, from my experience, what boys really want are knobbies, gears, and handbrakes in that order. When he started 1st grade our neighbor gave my son a hand-me down Trek 20 coaster brake bike. I replaced the imitation moto-cross tires and fenders with Schwalbe Marathons and full-coverage Wald chrome and gave it a nice brass bell. (The cheap jingle-bell didn't last as my wife got sick of listening to it everyday, twice a day, for ~2 miles each way.) I was going to put some mustache bars on it to complete the look, but never got around to it. I really should. Of course, he has no appreciation for it and vastly prefers riding the 30+ lb full-suspension Walmart special yet another neighbor gave him. Of course I let him choose which he rides. That is, until the rain comes then it's sorry, gotta ride the 'fender' bike. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Nitto Mini Rack and Riv All Rounder fork
Hello- I recently purchased a used Nitto Mini Rack to put on my Riv A/R. To my surprise the struts are just short of the braze-ons.

Do you know what the distance usually is on Riv forks from the crown hole to the mid-fork braze-on? Do you have a mini rack, if so what does it measure from the mounting stud to the strut mounting hole? Any other advice/comments?

Re: [RBW] Riv-riding motorcyclists?
I've been riding atop a BMW 1100GS for the past 7 years - usually every other day for commuting and then a big trip once a year with my friends. It is the perfect (motor)bike for me and I love it. Busy family life began taking its toll and I found myself exercising less and less the past few years. In late spring of this year I pulled out my 20 year old bicycle which I bought for myself as a teenager and began riding it, for fun, and then also once every week or two to get to work. There is something special moving about on ones own power and I find myself enjoying (bi)cycling more and more (funny how I forgot until now how much I liked to bike when I was younger...). On the downside, my commute takes a good 25 minutes via bicycle (versus 12 on my GS) and oddly enough I actually feel safer on my motorcycle - perhaps because I move with the speed of traffic but also I think bicyclist receive even less respect than motorcyclists. I'll stick to my heated vest and motorbike on chilly days this winter, but am looking forward to using my brand new Hillborne on nicer days :) I'm really looking forward to the Spring and spending more time on my Riv. Just bought a tandem tag-along bike so I can bring the little ones on my adventures. -David Fairfield, IA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Riv-riding motorcyclists?
I've owned and ridden motorcycles since the day I graduated High School (Mom said that once I graduated I was free to do what I would). I probably put more miles on the motorcycle but more days on the bicycle. Evens out I guess. BMW motorcycles would equate well to Rivendell bicycles while the Suzuki V-Strom is the iBob cheaper version.

Do not get an Oilhead BMW unless you've got some leg length. On Tue, Nov 8, 2011 at 9:59 AM, Mark R. markrosenber...@gmail.com wrote: I have been riding motorcycles since 1990. For a while, about seven years, i did not have a car, just my bicycles and my moto. I needed a small truck and got out of them in 97, then got back into motos in 04. We had taken a road trip from Cali to Wqshington state, and while there, I brought my bicycle and did a century in Redmund. Tired the next day, we rented scooters on San Juan island, and had a blast. With my daughter on the back. she told me that if I got a scooter, i could take her to school everyday. done It was a 150cc Vespa, and it was too slow for the hills around here, so i sold it and bought a Honda Hawk Gt650. I was putting 10k a year on my bicycle, about 6k a year on the moto, commuting. Then i got a ninja 650, fuel injected, and at 10k miles, had an accident in which a lady pulled out in front of me, and stopped. I had the skills to skid and slide around the back of her, then she panicked and i was afraid she was going to through in in reverse, had a tank slapper reversing directions, went down. I wear full gear. I rolled, my full face helmet was destroyed. Had i not been wearing it, I would not be here, or i would not have a face. I shattered my right arm into hundred of pieces. It was doubtful i would regain use of it. I have a plate and 13 screws, and worked really hard to get it back, and it is fine. My doc said most folks don't come back from my injury like I did. That said, i still ride. I restored another 650 Hawk (cult bike, google it, or i can send you a link to my restoration). Then I found one that was a collectors, almost no miles, and bought that one, sold the other on CL. I ride it maybe once or twice a week. I love it, but i could give it up. Mostly keep it around now as backup transportation in case something happens to my car, since i now live alone. Just yesterday, i was thinking if I had to choose, it would be the bicycle. I love things with two wheels. To the original question, i prolly put 7k miles on my bicycle a year, and 3k miles on the moto. Do love watching motogp, and one of my favorite racers was killed two weeks ago at Sepang race. It gives me pause for riding.

[RBW] Re: OMG, a Kiddie Rivvy!
I love it. Scale it up for 29er big apples, and sell one to me. I like the 20 mini/junior bmx race wheels on my son's Redline. He rode that bike for 4 or 5 years, from barely straddling it at 5, to dude, you need a new bike. Which was met with I hate riding bikes anyway. Peaked early, I guess. I think the bike could be a good rider for longer than two years, especially if the seat tube was excessively slack, or changed direction mid-tube like Jeff Jones' bikes.

[RBW] Re: OMG, a Kiddie Rivvy!
Agreed on the priorities of the Boy Child. My original idea for my son's Redline was to pimp it out with recumbent fenders and moustache bars, but that was rejected out of hand. He didn't want a miniaturized version of Dad's bike, for some reason.
