Re: [RBW] Re: New Bike Day - Lavendar Saluki!

[Tony DeFilippo]

Thanks everyone! I'll definitely give the color a thorough trial period
never fear... And even then I may have an opportunity to straight trade
with an identical but different color Saluki as an option.

Hey Michael I'm sure you'll get to see it soon. I'll set up a ride for
April if I can nail down a good day for it!

Tony

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day - Lavendar Saluki!

[David Spranger]

That is one standout bike. I bought a Rambouillet from a list member a few 
years back. Though the color was described as a dark purple/blue, to my 
eyes and on my monitor the color looked navy. When I unpacked the bike, in 
person the color is very purple and not blue at all. I have always liked 
purple as a pleasing color, but never saw myself owning a purple bike. I 
get more compliments on the color of this bike than all my other bikes 
combined. Five or so years later, the bike needs a repaint and the only 
paint scheme I am considering is the same purple with creme details it has 
now:

[RBW] Saddlesack Medium and Biking to School

[Hudson Doerge]

I rececntly found myself unexpectedly clicking "submit order" for a medium 
saddlesack in tan. So far I am exceedingly happy with that decision. I've gotta 
say I really love the tan and think you will too. It's very classy and 
beautiful, yet rugged and understated. I think you'll be very happy with it.

[RBW] Re: Hanging vs Platform Hitch Bike Carriers

[James P]

I went for a Thule Helium (hanging rack) to fit my Outback. It's selling 
points were that it is light, and easy to put on and remove.

It works very well for "standard" frames (i.e. regular top-tubes), but it 
needs an adapter bar for curved or "dropped" top-tubes, which is a pain.

If I was going to do it again - I'd seriously consider going with the Kuat 
platform rack. Silly expensive, but a little less so when you wait for 
those "XX% off" sales at the bigger box bike stores - just make sure you 
check the "exclusions".

I found a great site with videos that show how different racks look/fit on 
various cars - it is 
here: http://www.etrailer.com/Hitch-Bike-Racks/Kuat/N101-103.html - I hope 
that helps...

That color rocks.  Calls just enough attention to itself.  

Of course, it will look perfect with a bit of road and trail dust on it.

enjoy!

Purple, gold, and black are classic. I'd wrap the handlebars in a brilliant 
yellow, golden shellac, with the same for chain guard. If you fender it, 
golden wood fenders. With a tan saddlebag ... wow. But then it's not mine 
and whatever you do will be fantastic too.

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] Re: Increasing chainstay clearance to run wider tires

[Cyclofiend Jim]

When RBW started making 650B/584 frames there really weren't that many 
tires to choose from  - and Col de Vie's were on the wider end of things. 
It's been wonderful to see the profusion of tires now supported, but it 
does make the early 650B/584 spacing seem limiting.  But, then, there was a 
time when 700C/622 tires larger than 25 mm seemed "big"...

I know some folks who have crimped their own chainstays.  It's mentally a 
bit overwhelming to consider, and you want to proceed carefully, with a way 
to confirm rear triangle and dropout alignment.  But, it's not sensei-level 
work.

Peter's point about checking for clearances at all angles is important.  
You don't want to crimp and then discover it's not the true limiting 
factor.  

Done right, it should not weaken things.  It's one of the reasons steel is 
a superb material. 

Ride buddy JimG worked his way through this - well documented as usual.  
Here's a little of his investigation process:

http://sfcyclotouring.blogspot.com/2007/07/denting-chainstays-for-tire-clearance.html

Any competent frame builder or a shop that does frame alignment on steel 
frames should be able to do this if you don't want the project yourself.

hope that helps,

[RBW] Re: New Bike Day - Lavendar Saluki!

[Tony DeFilippo]

Patrick I love the golden yellow suggestion for the bar tape!  

I did a 30miler this morning out on the C&O Canal Towpath, I figured a new bike 
deserved some new to me miles as well and the bike performed brilliantly.  I 
left the CdlV 32's on it for today's ride but will swap out to the Hetres 
tomorrow.  The top tube length and the over all stability are the two most 
stand out characteristics so far.  I think I've been riding with 7-10cm more 
reach than I should have because the saluki us so much more comfortable with 
the noodles than I've experienced on my trek.  I'll do some sort of measurement 
comparison on the blog sometime soon.

Tomorrow I'm planning for a slightly shorter morning ride with Erl, go to get 
out and enjoy the great weather!!!

Thanks for all the comments!!

Tony

[RBW] Re: Grant on tires

[Philip Williamson]

Cool bikes! I'm a big fan of the Big Apples, and found them happily fast, with 
the Liteskin version on the rear. The Big Apples wouldn't go tubeless on my 
rims, though. I will try the Supermotos, but I might need a second wheelset (or 
build another bike).

I know what you mean about motoring along. It's very satisfying to get in the 
groove on a big bike with fat tires. And the fact that your friends think 
they're a DISadvantage is also fun...

Re: [RBW] Re: Grant on tires

[RJM]

I don't know if the bead affects performance, my suspicions would be that 
it doesn't, but I don't like wire beads because I find them harder to get 
onto a rim and I find them harder to pack for a spare. On longer rides and 
tours I often bring a spare tire and tube...wire beaded tires just don't 
work for that.

Re: [RBW] Re: Grant on tires

[jimmy johnsen]

Maybe we should ask Graham Obree about tires. At 50 years young isn't he still 
trying to break land speed records?Have you ever tried folding a wire bead? It 
can be done but it's easy to bend/crimp the wire. Can't see how that would sit 
straight after it's been crimped. On the other hand tubulars are cemented to a 
rim creating a solid bond! Track riders also solder their spokes together 
creating a very stiff wheel. They are high maintenance but are making a come 
back. Try changing a tubular in 15 degree weather. It's a bitch. Folding tires 
come closer to tubulars without the work involved. If your a pro and have 
someone changing tires for you it's a no brainer. But the market is driven by 
amateurs so folding bead rules.

[RBW] Re: Leaping onto an Atlantis

[Jim]

To join in Peter M' s point, Rivendell bikes (particularly the Atlantis) 
have excellent resale, at least in the US. So if you decide to sell the 
bike later (unlikely) you most likely will get a good part of your 
investment back without much difficulty. I think what is at risk is $500 to 
$700 and not $4000.

Back in the day, that's all we had; and there definitely is a way to

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell Chica Warrior Ride. Tomorrow! (3/22)

[Jim M.]

Well it was a very nice ride that meandered through Walnut Creek and 
Lafayette on street, MUP, and dirt. Liesl's new bike is awesome. The ride 
included a couple of gates to climb over, one re-routing because of too 
much poison oak, a side trip to Grant's childhood home, and a glimpse of 
the new proto-Hunqapillar. Weather was about 70 degrees. I ran out of 
camera memory at the turnaround but here are some snaps: 
https://www.flickr.com/photos/20986098@N04/sets/72157642759332855/

Others will post more, I'm sure. With so many cameras, Riv rides sometimes 
look like paparazzi exercise.

[RBW] R400 road Brake lever gray plastic ring cracked. Ok to ride?

[Michael]

The Tiagra kind RBW sells.
The Sam  fell over standing still and the lever seems strong and working fine.
That gray part ok to ride cracked? Seems like it is just an outer cosmetic 
piece, but I thought I would ask the Riv-peeps here since lotsa y'all use these 
brake levers.
Thanks for your help.

[RBW] need club name

[bo richardson]

three or four of us, so far, ride together on weekends
we go from bellingham to edison for lunch and then up 
colony mountain and sometimes garvelly road and around
lake samish and back to bellingham
 45 lovely miles
 
 
we are sort of a club and need a name
 
we are social and not competetive
 
colony mt is so called because there was a utopian community 
there in the early twentieth century
supported by socialist labor unions and such
 
our best name so far is 
colony mtn socialists
 
or gravelly road grinders
 
we are not randonneurs
we are pass hunters because we have to go up the hill
to get home, otherwise flat is nice
 
is there a french or german bicyclist category which
would describe pleasure riders who couldnt compete 
and dont
 
Radler?
 
self deprecating but not self loathing is the proper tone here
 
FWIW we have a 68cm atlantis
a 54 rambouillet
a 54 miyata 1000 
and a 53.5atlantis so we are motley as well as 
involuntarily uncompetetive
 
thanks

So I will be selling the Frame set and wheels / tires.

Now asking 850$ plus shipping for the frame set, with bottom bracket, seat

Wheels and tires I am asking 150$ plus shipping, Basic Simpleone wheels 
set, Origin 8 hubs mavic open sport rims, tires are panaracer pasela 700 
x35 tour guard, wheels are true tires still have lots of life left in them.

Please contact me off list if interested.  I would say the frame is about a 
9.4 on a condition scale to 10.  If no interest here back to ebay...

Thanks,
Richard

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell Chica Warrior Ride. Tomorrow! (3/22)

[Liesl]

Holy moly what a most excellent Riv pilgrimage to bring home my rolling Riv 
bike of love. Great time with mark building it, sitting on the floor with Grant 
at BBH listening to the story of the impossible to design custom, chopping out 
a spoon, seeing all my Riv pals old and new, talking with keven about trouble 
coffee, going for a ride today, eating pho with the boys, getting my bike charm 
from manny, wood burning with Vince and will, recouping in the shade with kind 
Cora, and patient keven at the end of a long day going through my final order 
... Holy moly what a most excellent Riv pilgrimage .  More when I'm home and at 
a proper computer instead of an iPhone. Photos to come.

[RBW] Re: FS: 52cm Sam Hillborne

[Richard Rios]

Hi,

The bike listed for sale is mine.  I posted it while trying to figure out 
what I was going to do with it.  The frame is to small for me as you can 
probably tell from the amount of seat post showing.  I have actually 
decided to tear the bike down and use the parts on a Chevoit I am eagerly 
awaiting the arrival of.  The frame will be up for sale shortly if anyone 
is interested I am looking to get 900$ for it plus shipping but if you are 
local pick up is no problemo.   Frame is a 52cm and is pretty much in like 
new condition other than normal assembly marks.  Message me off list if 
interested,  also if you are curious about condition and local we can set a 
time up for you to check the frame out in person.

Thanks,
Richard

- Ride report and pics from this morning's ride.  Tonight I mounted the EL 
Hetres from my 650B Trek, I took the opportunity to 'rotate' the rear tire 
forward and hopefully extend the life of the pair.  Can't wait to check out 
the ride tomorrow. I also have new-to-me Nifty Swifty 32.8mm(~) tires now 
on the Trek, I'm hoping they help with the wicked shimmy I have, for now 
they make the massive hetre sized fenders look ridiculous though!

Kevin - were you on the 2TT Sam I saw?  There was a slug of #FMCC folks 
that came through just as I broke off from the VASA ride at Fletchers. I 
hope you had a great ride in any case!

Minh - what direction would you go w/ the tape/housing... I've been holding 
colors up to the bike this evening thinking it through. Patricks 'golden 
yellow' suggestion is an excellent one, I'm intrigued a bit by going dark 
blue w/ the 'bits of flare', and also green might be nice.

[RBW] Re: Nanoreview, Barlow Pass 700x38C on Dyad

[Rod Holland]

Took my first ride on the 700cx38mm Barlow Pass Extra Light tires today, a 
little 14-mile shakedown. They remind me, a lot, of the GB Cypres EL tires 
I ran last year, especially the way they roll fast and beg for 
acceleration. But the extra air volume is noticeable, and I was able to run 
them at somewhat lower pressure. Happy!

At the end of this first ride, the tires measured 36.27 mm.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell Chica Warrior Ride. Tomorrow! (3/22)

[James Warren]

And of course, I don't mean bad-cheap.

The bike rides dreamy. It is certainly Hunq-inspired with Appaloosa influences 
as well, but it seemed more Hunq to me. Since it's still a prototype, it's hard 
to tell what the precise final form will be. For now, it's a great-riding bike 
and suggests a future cool model.
I wouldn't know what kind of price it would have. That part was joking.
