[RBW] Re: Showers Pass Stuff On Sale
Actually, it depends on the model. I was looking at the Hybrid. At SP, its selling for $140; Clymb has it for $100. My only hesitation is I don't know how these jackets fit?! I prefer to pay my LBS a few more dollars to make sure it fits...Good Luck! Btw - does "Zach" have to continue posting to this group every time this stuff goes on sale? I appreciate his first few posting, but at this point, I get enough spam from the seller that I really am tired of their "alerts" and will soon unsubscribe On Monday, May 28, 2012 9:45:36 PM UTC-7, eflayer wrote: > > the showers pass stuff is cheaper at showers pass. > On Sunday, May 27, 2012 7:34:39 PM UTC-7, Zack wrote: >> >> And.

Hi Ryan, My 120 Technomic is just gathering dust. If you're interested, I'll sell it cheap. I'll have to check and make sure it's 26mm though.

Re: [RBW] Re: rene herse crank
Maybe a race to the bottom bracket. Can understand why folks would pay the premium for a low Q nicely made crankset. Not all of us need low Q, though. Have no problems with Sugino XD2 on a 110 bottom bracket on my Sam Hillborne. But that would have a huge Q factor for many. For my use, it's more comfortable. (Was going to compare it to 650B, but am not going there again.)

Yes, and it's my opinion (a fact actually, but keeping with the theme) one can buy a Kona for a lot less than a Rivendell.

[RBW] F/S: 56 STT, Orange Sam, F/F/HS/BB
I am selling a 56 orange Sam Hillborne single top tube frame, fork, bottom bracket, and headset. I purchased the frame last summer from another list member, but never got around to building it up. When purchased, it was described as a new but incomplete build. That is how it appears to me. There is some paint wear evidence that the fork had been placed into the frame, and that wheels have at one time been secured to the drop outs. I inadvertently scratched the right fork blade when opening the packing. (See photo). The frame is otherwise is in very clean -- I'd say never ridden -- condition. I am selling it reluctantly, but I need to thin the herd. I have opted to keep my trusty Atlantis and let the Sam go on to another enthusiast. Price is $750, $700 for local pick-up in SF. Shipping only to CONUS. Will accept PayPal and cash. If paid by personal check, I will ship once funds clear. Interest and questions off-list please.

Re: [RBW] Re: rene herse crank
Without disregarding the financial impact, that $320 difference is 10% of a $3200 bike (AHH + Riv build kit). Custom paint, Honjos, WI hubs is putting it closer to $4K. If the light weight, low-Q & unique looks are what you're after, not really a deal breaker. For me, the proprietary chainrings would be a bigger concern over time. Sort of thing to stock up on IMHO. The old adage of if you find something you really like, buy a life-time supply as they'll quit making it at some point. On Mon, May 28, 2012 at 7:05 AM, SISDDWG wrote: > Sugino XD Triple = $119.

[RBW] Re: Chain deal ... ?
Well, maybe not literally flying apart, but chain breaks aren't particularly rare, especially when shifting under load and cross- chained. It's fairly dangerous too, since the sudden reduction in normal forces can lead to crashes at inopportune times. I should clarify that I'm looking at the way the links are joined, and perhaps I'm a bit paranoid from the routine peening done on main- stream chains. But the chains are probably more than adequate.
