The Wilshire route looked really interesting. A series of unfortunate
events kept me away, but I did have a pretty good time close to home!

I actually liked this one a bit more not quite so frenetic less stops and 
the Architecture was great. We had Indian food from a food truck which was 
delicious. Your ride looked pretty nice though not a bad trade off :-)

Re: [RBW] Re: 50K on a Sunday morning

[cyclotourist]

Ecstatic to get a mid-day ride in this time of year. Typically it's 95F by
11:00 and not so fun. If I can get enough of the local movers and shakers
on board with this, it might become a deal out here.

Cheers,

[RBW] Sugino Triple Cranks on Sam H.

[Aaron Young]

So 107 would work as well?  I have a gen 1 deep green Sam that cam with a
Phil bb that my calipers measure to be ~116.  I bought the Xd2 triple crank
from Riv and since installing it I have a really wide Q and I feel like I'm
riding bow-legged. It seems like going to a 110 from 116 wouldn't make much
difference (~3 mm difference per side). There is plenty of clearance
between the crank arms and stays with the 116.  It looks like I could bring
each side in a full cm at least.  Anyon experience this with the Phil Bb's?

Thanks,
Aaron Young

Aye, Bob, the Hunqapillar is a dream! I've no idea how I ended up with the

pictures. Not sure what the story there is as to why/when they were done in 
gray and orange. I love the bean and gray also and would have been equally 
delighted with it.

[RBW] Re: Powder Coated S.H. and Dureme 50's

[jandrews_nyc]

Fenders are possible, but it's not going to be easy...
Maybe the P50's..I'm not sure.
Definitely is a bit tight at the chain stays.

Jeffrey, the powder coater is in Queens...AMS is the business name.  They 
do mostly car rims and engine pieces, but he's done a few frames and it was 
affordable.
There is no clear coat.

I have the over powder-coat decals but I likely won't use them...I'll just 
figure out how to put the headbadge back on.

Hi Maelcolm, 

Dave at riv here. About a month ago a customer called mentioning a stolen A 
Homer Hilsen, didn't have his serial number handy (let that be a lesson!) 

I told him to come here (the bunch) and post it, don't think he ever did. 
He'd never heard of the owner's bunch. If you don't mind calling us up here 
800 345 3918 tomorrow I can check our order history and maybe connect the 
dots.

soul.So jealous of those mountains and wide open spaces.

Both of those are beautiful bikes, but the Vangal is, in my opinion, on an

Unless you have the original purchase receipt or some original record from

If your serial number becomes public, I think any party might contest

Re: [RBW] New rig and Sunday afternoon ride

[Patrick Moore]

Thanks for the details. Yes, I love my customs -- wish I could afford more
of them! My next one (let's just dream) would be an off road Rivendell to
replace the Fargo but with much the same versatility and, first of all,
clearance for 3" tires, but, secondly, that ineffable Riv handling. Or,
wait: maybe a thinner tubed Rambouillet with rack and fender braze ons for
max 32 mm tires +fenders -- like a mid '70s racing bike a la Riv
feel-and-fit-and-handling.

I'll be interested in hearing more about your riding experiences on the new
custom. Gad, wish I had an inheritance!

Oh and the pedals are Wellgos, LU868.   I love these pedals, you could ride

Re: [RBW] New rig and Sunday afternoon ride

[Matt Beebe]

Hi Patrick (Moore),

Thanks!   I've long admired your two Riv customs, and the way you have 
written about them says a lot about how great they are.The tires I have 
on this bike are Schwalbe 700x47 Marathons (measure more like 43 or 
44mm)-they are not new, in fact, I've been riding the heck out of these 
tires for over a year now, and they still have the little nubs on them from 
the molding process... at this rate they are going to last forever (I love 
schwalbe for that).For other parts, the rims are Velocity Dyads, hubs 
are White Industries and Phil Wood, Tektro cantis, mechs are shimano XTR 
front and back, Rivendell guard crank, Tange BB, KMC chain, IRD 
ball/rollerbearing headset (that Riv sells) and pretty much Nitto or 
Shimano everything else that I forgot.

Matt

[RBW] Re: New rig and Sunday afternoon ride

[Matt Beebe]

Hi Patrick,

I have a few rivendell bikes already, and can't really say that any of them 
fall short in any way;  they're all great! With a custom, I suppose one 
could say you get marginal returns performance-wise, over their standard 
models-   I wouldn't say that about this bike, though, because it is 
clearly imbued with some kind of magic/wizardry-  but a person could 
certainly see it that way.So you have to really be into their bikes to 
go for one. A custom does have its extra bells and whistles, and 
intangible niftyness I think.In addition to being custom designed by 
Grant, they are built by Mark Nobillette and painted by Joe Bell, for 
example, if that is worth something to you.   I got to spec my own paint 
color (not that you couldn't with another model, too) by mixing together 
some oil paints and sending that and a fork from another bike to Joe Bell 
for inspiration (I also got to talk on the phone with Joe Bell, which was 
awesome).   He hit the bullseye on the color in my opinion, it is the 
perfect hue for a bicycle.As far as ordering from Rivendell goes, they 
are incredibly nice and understanding to deal with and talk to, all of 
them.   I was lucky enough to visit their HQ at the end of a long tour a 
few years ago, and I remember that they were all so cool (didn't get to 
meet Mark that time though unfortunately), and they even bought me lunch!   
RBW HQ is such a neat place, just bikes and bags everywhere, awesome 
(epic!) photographs on the walls, tons of bikeage in the air.  I've seen 
your Hunqapillar (wicked nice!), and ride photos, and have to say I am 
totally jealous of your stomping grounds.Looks like some serious fun.

Matt

[RBW] Re: Big Bens on the Atlantis?

[clayton]

I had installed at one time, a pair of 2.35s *with* fenders AND rode in 
mud. Actually worked too Clearances were tight, but it all worked with 
no rubbing.just an occasional "b" when I was riding off road. The 
key was hugging the tire tight at the bottom of the fenders, with the gap 
getting wider towards the front. That way the mud didn't pack in.

[RBW] Re: New rig and Sunday afternoon ride

[Deacon Patrick]

Fantastic, Matt! I'd love to hear about your custom experience (possible 
long term interest, mostly curiosity, as I have 5 other people to 
eventually get Riv's for before I would even consider pulling the trigger 
on a custom). What Riv's have you owned/ridden pre custom? What made you 
desire a custom that they weren't meeting? How did that get met in the 
custom? When you say Riv went WAY above and beyond, what were you looking 
for that they helped you find?

I am delighted on my Hunqapillar and can't imagine a custom being anything 
but costing more money to do pretty much the same thing. Still, it's fun to 
play with the possibilities.

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] Re: FS: A. Homer Hilsen 67cm DTT

[LouisvillePatrick]

Monday morning bump!
>
>
And.I've been thinking about why there hasn't been so much as a peep 
from any of my clydesdale brothers on this awesome 67cm DTT frame and fork!

It could be the pricepoint..but it's probably the Phil bottom 
bracket I'm including in the deal.  Those who know Phil, know their bottom 
brackets need special tools for mounting/removal/adjustment.  Well, I'm 
throwing 2 Phil mounting tools into the deal as well!

:)

Make me a reasonable offer if my price is too high.  I would love for 
someone on the list to grab it, because I know whoever gets it would quite 
possibly be getting the last bike they ever had to buy.  It is that 
versatile, strong, comfie, fast (it certainly won't be the one holding you 
back!) and awesome.

Some other notes on the Frame and fork:

-Waterford built
-Has Rivendell dropouts...I've seen some frames (like my early Waterford 
Bomba) that had Waterford Dropouts.
-Two sets of cage bosses

Thanks for looking.

[RBW] New rig and Sunday afternoon ride

[Matt Beebe]

Hi All,

A couple years ago Rivendell mentioned in their mailing list update that 
their custom queue had gotten very short. This certainly planted a 
thought in my mind and after pondering for a while, being a huge fan of all 
bikes Rivendell, I decided to order my first custom from them, an 
all-rounder.   If you are on the fence about going to Rivendell for a 
custom (or any bike), I advise going for it.   Let's just say they go way, 
WAY above and beyond to help you find what you are looking for.

Anyway I got it this past week and am blown away, I could not be more 
psyched on this thing.   I built it up in an craze of excitement and have 
been riding it more or less nonstop, it's a blast.   

Here are some pictures from the local woods this past Sunday afternoon.   
The bike rides fantastically, comfortable and natural feeling.   It is like 
a wolf in sheep's clothing in a way-  in addition to the signature 
rivendell good looks and regalness, it handles the trails like it was 
nothing (except fun of course!)

https://www.flickr.com/photos/43029278@N07/sets/72157634302421200/


Happy riding everyone

Matt

[RBW] Re: Water!

[Michael Hechmer]

Patrick, I have one overriding association with water in NM.  On a camping 
trip my wife and I stopped for lunch at a state park.  I've long since 
forgotten where, but there was a lake and a single, Indian family fishing 
and picnicing.  We struck up a conversation and i asked him if the water at 
the park was safe to drink.  He waxed eloquently  about the water in NM, 
saying he would drink the water anywhere.  Then he paused and added, 
"except LosAlamos"!

Well, a friend wanted to hang out, but he lived at the far end of Lake
Union, and I didn't have a whole lot of time, so he brought his ski boat to
me. We went for a short motor around the lake, catching up. It's good to
know the Hilsens can do anything.
