If living temporarily 2 years someplace, yes, probably, if I was involved with work and it was a boring location.

I tried and only really could get to seven; any more than than and I'm really just adding bikes for the sake of it, not really out of desire. 1. Quickbeam fixed gear commuter, done. 2. Allrounder/Touring/Rough stuff, currently being accomplished very well with an Long Haul Trucker, but maybe by an Appaloosa in the future? 3. Go fast gearie road bike, steel frame, 57mm brakes for fatter tires or fenders, currently being accomplished by my Casseroll. 4. Matt Chester Ti fixed gear road-ish allrounder, super light and stripped down, probably flared drop bars. I share Philip's admiration for Matt's work. He's also a super nice guy, unfortunately I don't think he's taking orders for frames currently. 5. Brompton. 'nuff said. M6L-X in raw lacquer. 6. Bullitt front loader cargo bike. 7.

Re: [RBW] WTB or Trade: Nitto Mini Front Rack 32F
Can't you still mount a Mark's rack on the fork that uses cantis? You need a bolt of some kind to go through the hole in the crown so it can hold the mounting bracket of the Mark's rack. Rivendell used to sell these bolts that fit nicely in crown holes and when installed, a couple inches of bolt would stick out pointing forward from the fork. Grant called these paralysis preventers, because if the main brake cable in front ever failed, the PP would prevent the straddle cable from coming down and abruptly stopping the front wheel at high speed. The company that made it was Selcof.

[RBW] Rivendell sighting what are the odds?
Went out for a short ramble South of Del Mar through Torrey Pines reserve and just happened to run into another Hilsen on my way back, Curtis and his 67cm Homer. I recall Curtis joining the bunch inquiring about San Diego mixed terrain rides as he had just acquired his Rivendell. What are the odds in SD county dominated with carbon that we'd run into each other? I'm not a mathematician but it seems the odds would be pretty high. Then again as the Rivendell anomaly amplifies the odds will be more favorable of such serendipitous meetings.It was a nice end to a ride.

No. I recently made the swich to Albatross bars from Noodles. For me this was a big improvement in the comfort category; meaning better endurance, and therefore, going a more consistant pace. Not only did the Albatross improve steering and leverage, but the rounded part up front is perfect for agressive climbing, IMO.

[RBW] Re: Do you find you ride slower with Albas than with drops?
My commute takes exactly the same time (50-55 minutes) an Albas as it did when I was on drops. At almost an hour for ~12 miles, my speed is determined more by how hit traffic lights and similar obstacles than by actual biking speed. The biggest changes to my commuting times were: 1. When I traded in my old (steel Gary Fisher) MTB on slicks for a Sam - time reduced to my old office from 37 minutes to 32 2. Changing from VO touring pedals to Grip Kings cut another 2-3 minutes off. presale notice - VO Touring pedals, 46cm Noodles and a few other things will be available for sale when I go to NH later this month. I'll be in Baltimore too if that helps.

[RBW] Re: Little Saluki and Boscos after the storm
Fav grip position on Boscos: all of 'em! With the ergons , it is impossibly nice sitting upright. I used the short ones designed for twist shifters; they sit perfectly abaft the brake levers and leave plenty of room 'fore. I will say, though, that I have wee hands. Ditto next on the vulcan grip ad the brackets on the shimano are nice and curved so very comfy in the straddle position. Lots of riding on the top bend for uphill riding either standing or sitting. I grab them there when taking off from a start. Note to Patrick: the custom is slated to arrive in the fall, so no updates at this time. rest assured, there will be when it's near! It asn't changed, though, from the world's smallest appaloosa. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Do you find you ride slower with Albas than with drops?
Albatross bars are slower than drops if same power is applied and you are in the drops. The aero dynamics going from brake hoods down to drops is over one mph advantage by itself. Of course you could mount your albas low enough and run a stem long enough to achieve the same aerodynamics then they would be equal. :). So wider, higher, and a more upright riding position guarantee they will be slower. Based on equal power imput.

Re: [RBW] Do you find you ride slower with Albas than with drops?
Note that bending at the hips more also brings into play additional muscles; I can feel a slight increase in power, independently of aero (I feel it even a lowish speeds) when I go into the hooks or shove back and grab the hoods or ramps with bent elbows. So there are two speed benefits for a more-bent-over position, ceteris paribus of course.

Re: [RBW] Do you find you ride slower with Albas than with drops?
Yes. I ride slower on albatross bars because I ride the bike that I have albas when I am not in a hurry. I can go just as fast when i have to: running late to catch my commute train, for example.

Re: [RBW] Re: 10 Bikes - could you do it?
I will write something up when I finally get the Roadeo built up. I've had a few other bike projects to do for our kid and his friend first, but once I get the cash for some wheels I should be good to go. I don't think I can do 10 bikes for me, but in my family I think I could now that I have had a chance to ponder it. Here is what I would do. 1 - full on touring bike: Rivendell Atlantis with the stock Noodle build with added front and rear racks and fenders. 2. - Roadeo go fast with light wheels and a modern groupset. New Dura Ace would be cool. Mark bars and I would keep it quill stem just because it is sexier. 3. - Wife's road bike which is now a Mustached bar Nishiki International but I would think about Soma San Marcos for her. 4. - Kid's road bike which is now a Cannondale Synapse w/ Tiagra 5. - Wife's mup bike which would be a Betty Foy with basic Albatross build 6. - Mountain bike for me. I would really dig a Bombadil w/ Nitto Bullmoose bars or a Rivendell custom mountain mixte. Either way it would be totally cool. 7. - Kid's mountain bike. Something modern from Trek. Hardtail w/ front shock fork, probably 29er. 8. - Yvez Gomez for me. Albatross bars and set up for commuting with a front basket and rear foldable double basket. 9. - My Sam Hillborne. Noodles, barend silver shifters, 650b dyad laced to phil rivy 7 speed freewheel, Pari Moto or Hetres. Handlebar bag and small saddlebag. 10. - Modern fast carbon road bike like the Trek Domane. I rode one and really liked it. I would be cool to have one and compare it to the Roadeo.

The Sam will become the full on touring machine and I will permanently affix racks and bags with a front basket and possibly change to Albatross bars on it. The Roadeo for fast club stuff, the Hillborne for most everything else. If I get the cash for another (3rd.) bike it will be some sort of mountain bike. What I would really like is a custom mountain mixte from Rivendell that takes wider tires, like 2.5s, would be cool in 650b.

[RBW] Do you find you ride slower with Albas than with drops?
Yes, I feel a bit slower vs drops or even flat bars, but I'm much more upright, and comfortable, and having more fun, so who cares.

[RBW] So what's this?? A new project?
So while I wait for my new HIllborne I decided to get started on a new long term project. The plan is to make it my lighter, faster road bike. The seatpost, stem, saddle and BB are all coming shortly. I just finished the framesaving portion and installed the headset and fork. http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii31/Johnny_Alien/San%20Marcos/null_zpsdf4164b0.jpg http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii31/Johnny_Alien/San%20Marcos/null_zps778a7918.jpg http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii31/Johnny_Alien/San%20Marcos/null_zps6b0fc0ec.jpg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

No, I think my experience is similar to Jay's, a few minutes here or there. But I also don't ride for speed.

I am well 10 bikes now, and even though I've been a huge Rivendell bike fan with several in the collection, I am still somewhat shocked to learn this past year that, in a practical sense, I could give them up and do everything on the 700x55 Hunqapillar.

[RBW] fs: Rivendell Rambouillet - 58cm blue
So I recently bought this beautiful Rambouillet from member Steve. And after a funny receiving it a funny thing happened. I took the frame down to the basement placed next to the other bikes, other frames, other wheelsets and other bike related stuff. Then I took a good look at everything, I assessed the stable and came to the realization that this is too much! and I can't possibly have every Rivendell ever existed (I own a Saluki Atlantis as well) and that (fill in the number) of bikes is quite enough. As a result this realization I have decided to sell this beauty! Rivendell Rambouillet - frame/fork/headset - 58cm Geometry can be found here: http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw/geometry.html Nice condition but with a few knicks in the paint.
