[RBW] Re: Centerpulls on a Ram.

[BykMor]

Howdy Mike,

I use Paul's brakes on my 60cm Rambouillet and the Surly 'paperclip' cable 
hanger. I'm not sure if Soma makes a similar hanger.

Love the brakes. The Surly hanger, with it's chrome color looks dashing. 
Good choices all around.

Cheers,

[RBW] Re: FS: Salsa Vaya Ti 55cm frame/fork $1450 shipped

I got two messages about this today, coincidentally just after I sold it! 
Odd.

I sold it for a friend of mine, who moved the fancy parts he had on it to a 
different frame.

 miles or less). Made in the USA by Lynskey. The Vaya Ti was recently 
 discontinued, but the frame MSRP was $2000 when it was new - I'd like $1450 
 shipped in CONUS, or reasonable offer.

[RBW] Re: Homemade Accessories for Bikes

[Tony Lockhart]

I currently use a standard sewing machine so I'm limited to materials. It 
would be nice to work with leather but I'm not there yet.The machine I use 
now allows me to sew up to 5 layers of canvas or cordura, but after that, 
the needle tends to get stuck. In my experiences, it's almost better to use 
a thinner needle, shorter stitch length, and lighter thread when working 
with these fabrics.

[RBW] FS 60cm Orange Sam Hillborne and extras

[John L]

Among the last of the orange, single TT, side/centerpull Sams.  I like this 
bike, it fits and has worked well for me, but it overlaps a lot with my 
Elephant http://www.elephantbikes.com National Forest 
Explorerhttp://flic.kr/s/aHsjCZ31E4, 
and I prefer the 650b and low trail geometry for country biking and light 
touring. I was thinking about keeping the Sam around as a dedicated touring 
bike, but I could use the money, the space, and the credit I would build 
with my wife for future bike purchases (The list: 62cm canti-Saluki, 64cm 
Atlantis, Pugsley, if anyone has one to sell or trade).  It's a fairly 
standard Riv-ish build put together by The Country Bike Shop in Celina Ohio 
- XD2 crank w/ 11-34 cassette, xt/synergy wheels.  technomic stem and 46cm 
noodles, cane creek levers, shimano bar-ends, generic seatpost.  I upgraded 
(at least, I count it as an upgrade) to Paul center-mounted centerpulls 
(and therefore koolstop pads).  Brushed silver longbard fenders.  Jack 
Brown Greens.  I've only had the bike for a year or two-ish but I used it, 
so there are some small paint chips etc.  No big scratches I'm aware of and 
no dents.  

For all of that, no pedals, saddle, racks, I'm asking $1500 shipped.  I'll 
have it boxed by my LBS.

There are a few extras: Berthoud Aravis touring saddle.  Barely used - 
maybe a few hundred miles, a total ass hatchet for me (I found Brooks 
saddles were comfortable from the start, by contrast).  There are a few 
tooth marks from when I just opened the package, put it on the table, 
turned around to play with the kickflix bag clamp, and then found my dog 
had taken it down and started gnawing on the very foremost tip.  I don't 
think it will effect function or longevity.  $150 shipped.

Mark's rack - just the stuff I used to mount it, don't have the extra 
p-clamps - $75 shipped.

Nitto top rack - ditto re: mounting kit - $75 shipped

Acorn Boxy Rando bag - no derailleur needed, has loops that go over the 
handlebars.  Too small for me - could never reach it.  But, perfectly 
functional.  $150 shipped.

I have a set of Shimano M324 pedals, $35 shipped. 

For all of the above, basically everything you need for a fully functioning 
country bike, I'd like $1900 shipped.

I've tried to make prices reasonable, but if I've missed the mark, we can 
have a discussion about it.  Cheers and I hope this bike finds a good home.

[RBW] Re: Anyone mounted taillights to Longboards?

[David Banzer]

I think the Spanninga's fender lights are great. They might not be the 
brightest, but they have a lens of a sort, triangular prism sort of 
thing, that disperses the light out to a larger area. I prefer non-blinking 
lights, as I find them much easier to actually gauge where a cyclist is. I 
use my blinkie-able lights in non-blinking mode as well.


On Monday, November 26, 2012 1:19:41 PM UTC-6, William wrote:

 I bought three of these taillights at Jitensha Studio and mounted two of 
 them.  I put one onto hammered Honjos, and the other on a P45.  Both seem 
 great.  You end up bolting it on very close to one of the stays, so it 
 seems really solid.  It's a very lightweight little light and has the 
 really nice feature of an auto mode, which uses a Light sensor and a motion 
 sensor to decide when to turn on.  I think that's pretty slick for $16. 
  The model I have does not blink.

 I'd say just be careful about how you drill the mounting holes--use 
 progressively larger drill bits to minimize stress--and check the area for 
 cracks regularly.  Other than that, you should be fine.

 mountin'.

[RBW] Brooks Flyer Saddle, Sugino AT Crankset, Suntour Cyclone MK II F/R Derailleurs, Etc

[sameness]

My last gasp, Hail Mary pass of a listing for things that need a home.  I 
hop on a plane back to the antipodes early next week, so this stuff needs 
to be out the door on or by Monday.

*All prices include CONUS shipping via USPS*. PayPal only, please and 
thanks. No trades or funny business.

Pics of all the stuff on Flickr here: 
http://www.flickr.com/photos/30168800@N00/sets/72157632020037096/

Questions? Interest? Email *sameness at gmail dot com*. Thanks!

* * * * *

*Suntour Cyclone MK II Front  Rear Derailleur:*  Will win no prizes for 
Best in Show, but functionally ready to go. Finish is OK, but expect road 
grease, scratches and dings, with some pitting and light surface rust on 
the inside of the FD cage. Black screened logo on front is 50%, front is 
80%. Front is model FD-2300, has a 28.6 clamp and will shift a triple no 
problem. Rear is model RD-3700, the long arm GT, which will shift up to 
34T. I’d give the jockey wheels a clean and grease. $45.00

*SRAM 8sp 12-26T Cassette:* Model PG-850, 12-13-15-17-19-21-23-26. Low 
miles, chromed steel good overall, couple of tiny rust spots, teeth are 
great. $15.00

*Shimano 105 Triple Front Deraileur:*  Model FD-5603, braze-on derailleur, 
no clamp included. Short, mountain-ish cage. Finish is good, with only some 
slight chain drag wear on the inside cage. 105 sticker is all there. $20.00

*Sugino AT Triple Crankset:* Model TAT. 170mm crank length, 110/74 BCD. 
Nice, vintage touring and MTB forged triple crankset from the ‘80s. Overall 
in pretty good condition.  Cranks only, no chainrings, bolts, bottom 
bracket, or anything else included. $45.00

*Brooks Flyer Saddle:*  Basically a sprung B-17. Black leather, frame, 
rails and springs, chrome steel rivets. I like B-17s, so I thought I’d have 
a crack at one of these for an MTB build which has long since 
dematerialized. Probably less than 400 miles total, not even broken in, 
leather still stiff as a board, no sit bone indents, etc. Some light dings 
and scratches from floating around in a parts box, but I’d call it an easy 
85% in the Presentability Dept. Note that the laces are not factory, 
totally unnecessary, and added strictly as an aesthetic dalliance. I used a 
leather awl and some delicate equidistant measuring, so pretty pro looking 
if I do say so myself. Laces are black textile, flat waxed shoelaces. $60.00

*Nitto 10cm Stem:*  For 1” threaded forks. I’m gonna say 25.4, but I’m 
honestly not 100%, and there are no markings either way. It’s ‘80s if that 
helps. 160cm overall quill length, 95cm extension above max height line. 
Finish is average. Expect scratches, pitting, etc. Bolts and wedge turn 
freely, with no rust. Absolutely nothing remarkable about this stem. $15.00

*Shimano 105 Road Double Crankset FD-1050:* 172.5mm crank arms, 130 BCD. 
Originally Bio-Pace but accepts standard chainrings. Average cosmetic 
condition, nothing outstanding in any respect, just some good ol’ square 
taper forged cranks. Reduced to $20.00

[RBW] Re: Are Brooks Saddle Worth the Money?

[Homer Sapiens]

I have a Brooks B17 and a Selle Anatomica.  Both are better for me than my 
somewhat (but not that much) cheaper Specialized gel saddle.  SA is 
slightly more comfortable.  My guess is that you could probably find a much 
cheaper saddle and be comfortable if your bike is properly sized, your bars 
are high enough and, on longer rides, you wear padded shorts. But Brooks, 
as over-priced as it is, looks good, feels good, and matches a lugged steel 
bike much better than a plastic saddle.  And, compared to what some pay for 
pedals, carbon water bottle cages, and higher-end bike shorts, it's a 
bargain.

[RBW] Rivendell Eve

[Dan Scott]

My new Hunqapilllar and first Rivendell is sitting at the UPS depot in 
Philadelphia and will be out for delivery tomorrow. Planning on taking tomorrow 
afternoon off to assemble and go for first ride. It has been agonizing 
knowing bike has been in Philly area for past 2 days and not being able to get 
it, but I'm sure it will be worth the wait. I ordered a AHH in August and 2 
weeks ago when Keven and the guys started the build they released wrong frame 
was sent to them, which turned out to be a good thing, because I was having 
second thoughts on getting AHH over the Hunqapillar. Keven ended up getting me 
a deal  on the demo (modified to meet my desires), so I didn't have to wait 
another 8 weeks and I end up with what I really want. One more day until I'm 
officially a Rivendell owner. Lets hope UPS comes through!

[RBW] FS: A. Homer Hilsen 61cm Frame and/or parts REDUCED $1600/$2900

[mbh]

 

For sale: Brand new 61cm Rivendell A. Homer Hilsen frame and full built kit.  


 

Included in this sale is a brand new, never ridden A. Homer Hilsen frame 
and the components (also brand new) for a full build.  This bike and 
components was purchased around 2 years ago (along with a Betty Foy, also 
for sale on a different listing) direct from Rivendell. However, the bike 
was never ridden and shortly after purchase was disassembled for storage.  The 
frame and parts have been carefully and safely stored inside over this 
period of time and remain in perfect, new condition. I’m getting ready to 
move and the time has come to sell. The bike and parts come with the 
original purchase receipt from Rivendell. Ideally I would like to sell 
everything as a set, but I’d be open to selling the frame and the 
components separately.  Please contact me for a la carte pricing if 
interested.

 

Frame Alone: $1,600 ($2000 new at Rivendell, not including tax)

 

Entire Build: $2,900 (Originally paid $3,700 at Rivendell, not including 
tax)

 

Email me for individual component prices

[RBW] Re: Stem sizing question

[Richard]

Which 8cm stem are you using?  Would a standard Technomic, Dirt Drop, or 
Periscopa stem get the Noodle's a little higher for you?
 
Don't know how much you are planning to spend for brake levers and cables, 
but if you can live with a shorter ramp than is on your Noodle's, you might 
want to try Rivendell's Mark's bar with its shorter reach.  Soma's Highway 
One bar has an even shorter reach and is less expensive than Mark's bar.

[RBW] Re: Are Brooks Saddle Worth the Money?

[Edwin W]

For this sort of thing, you can look at cost out a long way for as quality 
a product as a Brooks is. I am on a Brooks on my British chariot that is 
40x 365 days old. As my buggy is old, my Brooks should last long. As our 
pals on this list like to jot down, important things stand betwixt your low 
limbs, so you can (and should) pay a lot for comfort. This product is oft 
thought of as most important, but as Patrick said, not our chariots' only 
important part!

Wow! That was hard to jot down such a short fiat with no es!! 
Congratulations to Grant for jotting a long 'un without any!

Edwin - can't sign without our most popular letter.

[RBW] Homemade Accessories for Bikes

[Linkbeak]

I like to sew and design bags so have made a few bike accessories.  These 
include waterproof Brooks covers and a bag for my Wald basket.  My current 
project is a set of panniers for my Ram.  We're going on a winter break trip to 
Florida, so I am outfitting her with oilcloth panniers in a tropical print.  
I'll post photos when I'm done.  

One of the challenges to all this is finding the quality materials to do the 
job.  There are few retail fabric stores that sell this sort of stuff.  We are 
lucky here in the Pacific Northwest to have retail and mail order sources 
nearby.

Re: [RBW] Are Brooks Saddle Worth the Money?

[Ryan Watson]

Last year, I attempted two 1200K randonees. In both cases, I bailed shortly 
after 1000 km due to sleep deprivation and general exhaustion, but thanks to my 
trusty Brooks B-17, my butt was never sore!
If I had to, I'd probably pay $500 for one since no other saddle, leather or 
otherwise, understands my complex hiney.

 I'll add an anecdotal story…
 
 A couple of years back, I rode a long distance ride from SF to Ok City with 
 an Aussie and a Brit (no, this is not a bad bar joke). Both of those fellows 
 were riding on expensive plastic gel saddles, me a moderately priced Brooks 
 B17 on my Atlantis. It was a 6 week-ride, and I never suffered any discomfort 
 or other butt malady during the ride. I never rode in padded shorts.
 
 My companions, however, spent most of the ride in high discomfort if not all 
 out agony. It was very hot most days, and their sweating butts broke out in 
 all sorts of hot-spots and saddle sores. They each tried a new and softer 
 saddle, even more padding, lotions and salves, etc., and nothing relieved 
 their problems. I tried to explain that it was rather counter-intuitive, but 
 the more firm the saddle and less padded the butt, the more comfortable it 
 would be. I explained that the brooks was really a very taught suspended 
 platform that conformed to my butt and allowed some air flow, but neither 
 bought into my explanation, and each just kept salving up at each stop and 
 complaining.

 My last gasp, Hail Mary pass of a listing for things that need a home.  I
 hop on a plane back to the antipodes early next week, so this stuff needs
 to be out the door on or by Monday.

 *All prices include CONUS shipping via USPS*. PayPal only, please and
 thanks. No trades or funny business.

 Pics of all the stuff on Flickr here:
 http://www.flickr.com/photos/30168800@N00/sets/72157632020037096/

 Questions? Interest? Email *sameness at gmail dot com*. Thanks!

 * * * * *

 *Suntour Cyclone MK II Front  Rear Derailleur:*  Will win no prizes for
 Best in Show, but functionally ready to go. Finish is OK, but expect road
 grease, scratches and dings, with some pitting and light surface rust on
 the inside of the FD cage. Black screened logo on front is 50%, front is
 80%. Front is model FD-2300, has a 28.6 clamp and will shift a triple no
 problem. Rear is model RD-3700, the long arm GT, which will shift up to
 34T. I’d give the jockey wheels a clean and grease. $45.00

 *SRAM 8sp 12-26T Cassette:* Model PG-850, 12-13-15-17-19-21-23-26. Low
 miles, chromed steel good overall, couple of tiny rust spots, teeth are
 great. $15.00

 *Shimano 105 Triple Front Deraileur:*  Model FD-5603, braze-on derailleur,
 no clamp included. Short, mountain-ish cage. Finish is good, with only some

 slight chain drag wear on the inside cage. 105 sticker is all there. $20.00

 *Sugino AT Triple Crankset:* Model TAT. 170mm crank length, 110/74 BCD.
 Nice, vintage touring and MTB forged triple crankset from the ‘80s. Overall

 in pretty good condition.  Cranks only, no chainrings, bolts, bottom
 bracket, or anything else included. $45.00

 *Brooks Flyer Saddle:*  Basically a sprung B-17. Black leather, frame,
 rails and springs, chrome steel rivets. I like B-17s, so I thought I’d have

 a crack at one of these for an MTB build which has long since
 dematerialized. Probably less than 400 miles total, not even broken in,
 leather still stiff as a board, no sit bone indents, etc. Some light dings
 and scratches from floating around in a parts box, but I’d call it an easy
 85% in the Presentability Dept. Note that the laces are not factory,
 totally unnecessary, and added strictly as an aesthetic dalliance. I used a

 leather awl and some delicate equidistant measuring, so pretty pro looking
 if I do say so myself. Laces are black textile, flat waxed shoelaces.
 $60.00

 *Nitto 10cm Stem:*  For 1” threaded forks. I’m gonna say 25.4, but I’m
 honestly not 100%, and there are no markings either way. It’s ‘80s if that
 helps. 160cm overall quill length, 95cm extension above max height line.
 Finish is average. Expect scratches, pitting, etc. Bolts and wedge turn
 freely, with no rust. Absolutely nothing remarkable about this stem. $15.00

 *Shimano 105 Road Double Crankset FD-1050:* 172.5mm crank arms, 130 BCD.
 Originally Bio-Pace but accepts standard chainrings. Average cosmetic
 condition, nothing outstanding in any respect, just some good ol’ square
 taper forged cranks. Reduced to $20.00

Be sure to ask seller lots of questions:

Are you sure this is volume 1, issue 3 and not issue one, volume 3?

Can you define a zine for me?

Are there any pages missing?

Are you sure this is original printing and not a re-print?

What weight paper is this printed on? Is it oxygen bleached?

It says issue three, can you confirm that is accurate?

Are Grant Petersen's fingerprints detectible anywhere on the publication?

 being able to get it, but I'm sure it will be worth the wait. I ordered a
 AHH in August and 2 weeks ago when Keven and the guys started the build
 they released wrong frame was sent to them, which turned out to be a good
 thing, because I was having second thoughts on getting AHH over the
 Hunqapillar. Keven ended up getting me a deal  on the demo (modified to
 meet my desires), so I didn't have to wait another 8 weeks and I end up
 with what I really want. One more day until I'm officially a Rivendell
 owner. Lets hope UPS comes through!

[RBW] Re: Thanksgiving Bethesda to Georgetown DC Trails ride...

One of my favorite things about this list are the pics of places I've never 
been. Looks like Thanksgiving was a great day for riding on the other 
coast.

Re: [RBW] Rivendell Eve

[Robert Harrison]

Super! My Hunqa 62 arrived at the beginning of October and I haven't been able 
to stay off it. My other bikes are jealous.  

You are going to love the Hunqa. It's a great ride. I thinking of a different 
bike myself and when I was last in Walnut Creek (back in May) I rode a demo 
Hunqa and the rest is history.

Make sure you take pictures of your first ride (or do what some of us do and 
take pictures of the whole darn process - I managed to get the UPS guy carrying 
the box and it went on from there). 

Aloha!

Bob

[RBW] Re: Homemade Accessories for Bikes

[Andy Smitty Schmidt]

The little basket-mounted pouches are a cool idea. I've been thinking of 
making the same sort of thing but a little larger for the box on my 
Bakfiets. It's funny... the Bakfiets has got a cargo box big enough for an 
adult or 4 small children to ride in but I'm often at a loss for a good 
place to put small items like a camera or sunglasses.   

As far as stuff that's actually gone beyond an idea... 

The kid seat http://www.flickr.com/photos/15966859@N07/6812051114/ comes 
and goes but the leather mud flap is always on my Homer. The wife has an 
almost matching kid seat and mud 
flaphttp://www.flickr.com/photos/15966859@N07/7819921346/on her Betty Foy

I replaced the snaps on my Slickersack with turn 
buttonshttps://picasaweb.google.com/113148323994353762329/SlickersackImprovement?authuser=0feat=directlinkso
 it'd be easier to go on/off with stuff in the bag. 

This little 
dealhttps://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/YDPGrUWUxKfSDl9I2ssFn9MTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlinkgets
 the light out in front of my basket 'cause the beam from the handlebar 
mounted light was obscured when I had stuff in the basket

I think my coolest homemade bike accessory is the double kid 
seathttp://www.flickr.com/photos/15966859@N07/6873390593/for my Big Dummy. I 
love my Homer and have great adventures on my Riv, but 
the good (and bad) times I have sharing the bike with my kids are the stuff 
I'll smile about on my deathbed.

 Hello all and Happy Thanksgiving! I just wanted to see if anyone else in 
 the Riv community enjoys making accessories for their bikes. If this is the 
 case, I'd love to see what innovative things you've made. In the meantime, 
 I'll post some images of things that I've made.

 During the past 2 years, I have been trying to perfect the rando bag but 
 ultimately have been displeased with its lack of sturdiness. I enjoy making 
 them, using them for a while, then gifting them to other cycling 
 friends--this is great because it constantly gives me the opportunity to 
 make new bags. While rando bags look great, I have yet to make one as 
 versatile as a Wald basket. And after many years of debate, I have decided 
 to stick with my Wald. With that in mind, I missed the tool pockets 
 typically found at the back of a rando bag. So, I recently decided to 
 create a couple of pouches to hang on the back side of my basket.

 Both pouches are 2 inches deep, 4 inches wide, and 5 inches high. There is 
 also an extra 3 inches of flap available if I try to over-stuff the 
 pouches. It was relatively easy to construct these little bags because 
 canvas is such a forgiving material to work with. I have plastic stiffeners 
 inside the bags (very similar to the ones in Acorn bags) and velcro 
 attachments to keep everything in place. While these dimensions may seem 
 small, I have all of my tools in the left pouch (inner tube, patch kit, 
 multi tool, a pair of CO2 cartridges, 3 tire levers, zip ties, and 4 Irish 
 straps). The pouch on the right is used to keep my cell phone, garage 
 clicker, and keys; there is quite a bit of space left for snacks, a saddle 
 cover, and a bandana. I'd love to see the folks at Riv create some 
 Sackville versions of these because they're extremely versatile.

 Have a look--I am attaching JPEG images to this post. Also, I'd love to 
 see any other accessories people make for their bikes.
