[Brian Hanson]

I voted last week via mail in WA state, but I rode today.  No rain, either!
 All in all, a great day...

[cyclotourist]

Walked with the fam down to drop off off the mail in ballots. It's the
compromise between getting the kids seeing the act of voting and not having
to wait in line. Prop 30 better pass in CA, or the wife and I are most
likely out of a job next year. No more binge purchases of bike products
from any company!

Re: [RBW] Re: Friend of Rivendell Maynard Hershon in LA Times

[R Gonet]

I read some of MH's stuff in the Riv Reader years ago and couldn't 
understand why it was ever published by Grant. It was sour, negative, even 
mean.  He came off as a cranky, bitchy old man.  I remember reading one 
Reader with a very inspiring article about an amputee who was getting back 
on his bike and I found this to be a very heartwarming, inspirational 
story.  Then I came to MH's piece and I went looking for eyewash.  I wrote 
GP to inquire why he even considered printing this dark prose but he never 
responded.  Since then I have refused to read any of his stuff because it 
is so down and depressing.

Re: [RBW] Re: Who rode their bicycle to vote in the US today?

[Peter Morgano]

Two things I dont talk about with people I dont intimately know, religion
and politics. If Grant was a republican I would still spend my money, if he
was a republican who gave to anti-abortion and radical right causes, not so
much. I think like all things it is a matter of degrees. I am a liberal,
athiest, democrat but I have many friends who are not and they are still
friends. I lived in South Carolina for 9 years and had many close friends
who would often have a good debate over politics, but after it all we were
still friends.  I also worked at a Vegan restaurant where there were many
causes I deemed too liberal but still put myself out there in a respectful
manner to try at talk about things with people. If we cant talk about what
makes us different then we have truely lost "democracy."  You cant just
live with your head in the echo-chamber, you will never expand your
horizons that way.

No pic, but I rode to the polls to drop off my ballot, then on to
campaign headquarters to spend five hours hounding voters in Ohio.

[RBW] Re: Who rode their bicycle to vote in the US today?

[grant]

I rode mine this morning. Looks like my vote wasn't neded, but...it's a 
funny thing. Four years ago I was in Taiwan or Japan or something on 
election day, following the news on the 'puter, and I got happy at the end. 
A fellow told me he'd never buy from us again. Earlier this year he emailed 
me saying he filled up a shopping cart, but then remembered I was happy 
when Obama won, and so he emptied it. I don't believe he ever filled it up, 
but it's interesting that he felt that way and took the time to tell me.

Today I voted for women, the environment, the middle class, for stem cell 
research, for marriage equality, for fair pay, for EVERY class, for 
science. Does that put Rivendell at risk, my saying that? 

To anybody who---doesn't like the way the election went and doesn't like 
that I do, and might not support us because I'm here all thrilled, I 
wonder: Do you find out the political affiliation of every business owner 
before you patronize the biz?

Ultimately, it will be good for both parties. I imagine the elephants will 
be less radical from now on. I imagine the donkeys will welcome their 
moving a hair to the left. It could lead to the two parties working 
together again, the way it was when I was a lad and my dad was my age.

[RBW] Re: Who rode their bicycle to vote in the US today?

[Joe K]

Staten Island really could be (and sometimes is) a really beautiful
place.  We were attracted here by how much it resembles the SF Bay
Area, at least here on the North Shore.  We are in a neighborhood of
Victorian houses (Stapleton) with expansive views of the Verrazano
bridge and the harbor, and there are lovely hills everywhere.  But
there is little consciousness among the locals of how special it is.
Someone once wrote to the local paper that S.I. could be New York's
Sausalito if anyone cared about it.  A few of us do!

There are rumblings about the refurbishment of the Verrazano, and
controversy about including a bike path.  Transportation Alternatives
has asked cyclists to get involved and demand one.  I will do so!
(Hope it isn't too late.)

[RBW] Re: Who rode their bicycle to vote in the US today?

[Joe K]

I'm in NYC too, like Peter, but in Staten Island.  Normally I DO ride
to the polling place, just down the street, but due to a confluence of
circumstances I ended up there at the end of a driving/shopping trip
with my son (who. by the way, is a car guy...is that the curse of
parents who are cyclists?

I did ride to a restaurant for lunch yesterday, as we had no food in
the house post-Sandy.  Rode the Univega beater, as Im comfortable
locking it up just about anywhere.  Now that some concert work is
over, will have time to attend to the bikes...the Uni needs new bar/
stem combo, for example.

Joe

Didn't know it was against the law to take a pic outside a voting
center.

No photo but I did stop at the poll on my way home from work on my Hunqapillar.

Re: [RBW] Tokyo Cycle Show ( Picture Set )

[Tokyo Crank]

Patrick

The ( Carradice Nelson ) saddlebag is supported with a bagman. I've tried it 
without, and it sits just so on the mudguard. But in that position, it hits the 
back of my legs, so bagman it is. The mudguard by the way, is split underneath 
the brakes. The rear half can be removed without tools. This is to help pack 
it, for carrying on a train. The pump has it's own attachment fittings brazed 
on at the top and bottom of the seat stay. It is located there, rather than the 
top or seat tube, to allow the bicycle to be more easily carried over rough 
ground when pass hunting or, more common in my case, when going up and down the 
steps in a Tokyo highway underpass. 

The front gearing is 44x26 rings ( TA crank and BB ) which is quite common on 
Japanese touring bikes. The builder was keen to explain the overlapping ratios 
of a front triple, and the benefits of a low tread crank. The front ( and rear 
) derailleur is a Shimano Dura-Ace. Despite having a narrow cage and fairly 
large radius, the front shifting is fine. I wouldn't go throwing it from one 
ring to the other with wild abandon, but it does it's job with no rubbing in 
either position. I've not had to adjust it yet in 8 years or so. Likewise the 
wheels, Ukai rims on Ultegra hubs, 650A tyres ( the most popular size in Japan 
). The wheel rims are quite narrow for a touring bike, but are still true after 
5000km a year on and off road in all weather, and no spokes need adjusting yet. 
The builder did a good job, I think.

[RBW] Who rode their bicycle to vote in the US today?

[Peter Pesce]

Wasn't my Riv, but rode my commuter to vote on the way to work. It was 29 
degrees at 6:45 AM when I left the house, so not many bikes there! Not many 
people at all really , so it took me all of 5 minutes to vote.

[RBW] Re: Who rode their bicycle to vote in the US today?

[Philip Williamson]

Like DougP, I walked to the P.O. to mail my ballot on Satuday. 

OT, but I believe Riv-attitude appropriate: This last week I've had an 
ongoing conversation, not even a debate, with someone who at first appeared 
to be my political polar opposite. It's one of the few online conversations 
I've had that got MORE civil as it progressed. Man it made me feel good. It 
literally started out with rage-noises, and ended with "as a sort of 
friend, I want you to take care of yourself." I learned about him, he 
learned about me. I don't think I would have been able to have that 
conversation without learning some hard lessons on this list and the iBOB 
list. 

So "As a sort of a friend, I want you to take care of yourself," :^)

[RBW] Re: OT Why are some unwilling to trade with people out of the US?

[Savvas]

Hi Jay,
I have never really had any issues either buying small items from the USA 
or selling via ebay.paypal. For imports (to Australia where I live) there 
is no tax or duty on bicycle parts as long as the cost is less than 
Au$1000, no matter whether the item is new or used. The only hassles I have 
ever experienced were problems a customer ran in to when I sold a nice Jack 
Taylor SS from a friend's collection. I neglected to mark it 2nd-hand or 
used - or didn't do so explicitly enough - and he was asked to pay extra in 
customs duties in the USA on the basis that it was 'new'. I sent receipts 
and evidence etc but I'm not sure how it was resolved. The only other issue 
is the apparent cost of freight from the USA, It seems remarkably expensive 
once a certain weight/bulk is exceeded. I have for instance received a 
large box from Bike24 in Germany - standard post cost of $20 - that would 
have cost several times that amount from the USA. In fact I have been 
quoted $30 postage from the USA on the smallest items and even $120 on a 
handlebar (both from retail stores)! I have found people in the USA (and 
certainly on this list) friendly and straightforward to deal with. I think 
we all struggle from time to time with the complexities of international 
transactions though - part of the challenge I guess.

[RBW] Re: Cygolite mounting questions

[John]

Thanks for the ideas to all.

Looks like Ginos light is a good solution, but it works for M5 braze ons; 
I've got M4 where I want to attatch the light (mid fork braze on).

Ditto for the VO gaget.

Charlie's solution might be my best bet: make my own. Of course I can do 
this, but I'd rather not spend my precious time tinkering - I'd rather 
spend it riding. I've got two small kids (4 and 6), a 50+ hr. a week job, 
and etc. Finding time to ride is almost impossible, let alone tinker.

Charlie: I can attatch my Princeton EOS to my helmet if I want. I would not 
normally wear a helmet lamp, because I prefer the light down lower so as 
not to blind others (If I were trail riding, I might be of a different 
mind).

[RBW] Re: Lost? Let says extended exploring.

[Paul]

This reminds me of a ride I took this summer. Although, we made the other 
decision. Overlook road does not actually connect all the way in to the El 
Soreno Open Space Preserve: http://goo.gl/maps/fXt2w

It is possible to lift a bike over a 10 foot tall gate, but you might not 
like what you find on the other side. No pics, so there's no proof.

There was considerable flak somewhere (boblist? thislist?) about what many

the RR? At any rate, to my eyes, from the half dozen or so pieces of his

I remember the Maynard article, but I thought it showed more about

I was actually a little surprised that Grant published the article in
the Rivendell Reader.  There are a number of Rivendell owners in
Tucson.  Several of us even got together on one occasion to display
our Rivendells and distribute Rivendell catalogs during a GABA
(Greater Arizona Bicycling Association) swap meet a number of years
ago (Greg Yares, who coordinates the swap meet, pulled us together)
I guess Maynard is a FOG ("Friend of Grant") with certain
prerogatives...

[RBW] Re: An interesting match of the Nitto R-15 rear rack and Berthoud panniers

[dougP]

Jim:

That is a gorgeous rack.  The second set of bars seems such a simple 
addition that greatly enhances the utility of the rack.  Being able to load 
the platform without disturbing the panniers would make simplify life on 
tour.  Just around town it's nice to just clip on a pannier as needed & not 
have to mess with a bag on the platform.

So how about in the Delaware Water Gap?  

One of the first tours I ever did was with the Mid Hudson Bicycle Club
to the Delaware Water Gap.  There was a youth hostel there and we HQ'd
at it, rode to the Peters Valley Craft Fair.  It was our first ride on
the then-new child adapted Gitane tandem.

Thanks a million!  THAT is the rack I've been designing in my head off'n'on 
forever.  Simple, clean, with the 2nd set of pannier bars.  I just could 
never work out all the angles, etc., to hand off to a custom rack builder.  
I'll be the first one on my block (it's a short block) to get one of these 
when they arrive.  I hope this is sufficiently exciting to get some shelf

Reid -- that 3rd bike is Dennis' AHH. Coincidentally it's the same size

while I opted for the under tube. And as far as the babes... just cause 
it's a sausage festival doesn't mean it's a sausage fest.

Re: [RBW] Who rode their bicycle to vote in the US today?

[Peter Morgano]

Just wanted to add me and my daughter will be walking over to vote after
school, it is only a block away. I had someone at my kid's school ask me,
exasperated where I found the gas to get around this week. He was even more
exasperated it seeeds when I told him I had two legs and a nice bike and
have been happy with this system for 8 years. Although I do feel for those
who are reliant on cars, its not like they can just switch overnight to
some other system. Maybe the gas shortage here will open some eyes to the
benefits of cycling, walking and mass transit, a small bright side to a
huge tradgedy. Study out today said most cab rides in NYC are under 1.5
miles, that is what I walk every day to and from the subway.  But anyway
GET OUT AND VOTE, FOR ANYONE, JUST DO IT!!!

[RBW] Re: An interesting match of the Nitto R-15 rear rack and Berthoud panniers

[Jim Cloud]

Doug, I agree that a second set of bars beneath the platform would be
a good feature for many of the larger Nitto racks.  I have a custom
rack that was made many years ago for my Schwinn Paramount by Jock
Fisher (RIP) who was a partner of Tim Isaac at that time.  The rack
has the second set, and I've used it to mount the Berthoud GB799
panniers on some occasions. (here:

[RBW] Re: OT Why are some unwilling to trade with people out of the US?

[Ron Mc]

I've used International Priority, International Express and less so, 
International Airmail.  I've posted to Japan, Canada, UK, Australia, South 
Africa.  
Filling out the customs forms online is pretty much required.  It's 
automatic with Priority or Express, but you can also find it online for 
your airmail, but takes a bit of hunting on USPS.  Question?  No, you're 
exempt for anything with value less than $2500.  I do find for valuable 
items ($100 and up), Express plus insurance is only $2-3 more than Priority 
plus insurance

Re: [RBW] Re: Tokyo Cycle Show ( Picture Set )

[PATRICK MOORE]

Very interesting photo set. I'm curious about your own bike: the saddlebag
isn't attached to the seatpost, so it must be supported by the fender. Is
the fender reinforced in any way?

What holds the pump in place at the top of the stay?

And: what chainrings? The small must be a 26; how is the upshift to the
large ring?

Thanks.

RE: [RBW] Re: An interesting match of the Nitto R-15 rear rack and Berthoud panniers

[Allingham II, Thomas J]

Lower/second set of bars like the Tubus Cosmo - a great rack.  Only downside is 
that the platform needs to be narrower, making it somewhat less than ideal for 
trunk bags on the rear.  Really great for panniers + saddlebag, though.

Jim:

Is the lower horizontal bar on the R-15 intended for pannier mounting?

An irritation that I have about the Nitto big back racks is the awkwardness of 
using the platform with panniers installed.  I've seen other mfgs racks with a 
second set of bars a couple of inches below the platform.  The second set 
allows unobstructed use of the platform with panniers installed.  IMHO the 
Nitto big back rack would be much improved by a second set of bars and 
eliminating the angle braces that seem to mostly get in the way of things.

RE: [RBW] Re: New wrap

[Allingham II, Thomas J]

Offspring seem more forgiving of our taping "failures" than we are.  My son was 
delighted with this wrap on a Quickbeam I built for him; I thought it looked 
terrible, but he gets positive comments all the time (or so he says; perhaps 
he's just stroking the old man).

[RBW] Re: Wood

[Montclair BobbyB]

Reid:

Riv Rally East is a weekend ride.  The first one was in May 2011 with a 
handful of riders converging on Wellsboro, PA for 2 days of scenic loops in 
the Pine Creek Gorge area.  In 2012 a larger group assembled in Cumberland, 
MD for a 2-day point to point ride along the Great Allegheny Passage trail 
up to Ohiopyle, PA.  Riv Rally 2013 is still in the planning stages, but it 
will likely occur on a weekend in May 2013, possibly with an optional ride 
on Friday.  Western Virginia is one possible destination; but stay tuned.

I have recently moved out to western NJ along the Delaware River (and BTW 
we JUST last night got power back after a week of outage due to the big 
storm)... There are lots of places around this area that would be perfect 
for a S24O... The beauty of these types of rides is they can be 
spontaneous... It takes very little planning... just pack up a few 
essentials, grab an adventurous friend or two and head out on a Friday 
after work... Oh, and make sure to be back before it's time to do your 
Saturday chores...

[RBW] Re: New/old magnets at Rivendell

[Peter Pesce]

Went to order a magnet and patch, but $8 shipping on $12 goods is silly. 
I'd order a lot more from Riv if they'd fix their shipping rate structure. 
Maybe if I send them a good old fashioned "self-addressed stamped envelope" 
from the pre-internet days?

Re: [RBW] Re: Tokyo Cycle Show ( Picture Set )

[Tokyo Crank]

The bicycles shown generally range from about ¥100,000 ( $1200~ ) for the 
Miyata to about ¥400,000 ( $5000~ ) for the Grand Bois Porteur, which is an 
order-made build. The very high yen certainly doesn't help foreign buyers - 
Japanese companies in all exporting industries are hurting - but I think these 
prices are still reasonable. As mentioned, it would easily be possible to spend 
a lot more on a Taiwanese carbon framed bicycle with expensive wheels and 
"top-end" groupset. I'm not knocking that as a choice, but it helps put the 
price of these ( and Rivs, which use a lot of Japanese parts ) into 
perspective. When I read Grant's comments about the high yen, I really 
understand.

Thanks for the comments. I don't know if it shows up in a Flickr slideshow, but 
I wrote some notes under each pic, including the price if I had it.

Paul, Tokyo

They look fairly similar to the sort of thing you see at NAHBS, and
those bikes are certainly affordable.  After all, you can go down to
your LBS and spend $12,000 on a carbon racer (and maybe not even get
electronic shifting).
