[RBW] Re: FS: Rivendell Wilbury... 56cm... built 2005... 4800 miles.

[Joe Bernard]

Yes. I'm having an ANT Bike built by Mike Flanigan so I'm out of the 
Wilbury market, but I would love to see those pics. It's a special bike 
with special lugs and paint..always worth staring at for a while.

Thanks for all the comparisons and advice. I  am chewing on all of this

allayed. Interesting thread about undersizing may also apply here ...

I didn't get the impression that the poster intended to SELL the bike

wouldn't have to give the poster anything, since I already own my

Re: [RBW] Re: another stolen sam?

[David Stein]

For some reason I'm assuming that the craigslist posted in that link got it
for a smoking deal, as in the person selling knew it was stolen, didn't
know the value and sold it for a few hundred bucks.

But if they in fact paid a whole lot more for the stolen bike than I
totally agree with your point. It's all circumstance I guess.

I once was watching a homeless guy ride around Market St in SF on an
*obviously* stolen Surly LHT, I was tempted to go give him $100 or $200 for
it on the spot and then try and track down the owner through a craigslist
ad, making back the money I paid as a reward or sorts. Basically, I would
come even/not profit, and greatly increase the chances of the original
owner finding it and getting it back. But I didn't, mostly because I was
going to a show and wouldn't have had a place to keep it.

[RBW] Re: Stolen S. Hillborne reunited with owner

[sameness]

Nah, it's LA we're talking about. The closest thing to public intervention 
on private property is the threat of a bad Yelp review or a scathing 
Facebook post. 

Maybe the formation of a Pilates Moms Against Bike Theft & Leaf Blowers 
taskforce.

Had I tried to sell some organic produce without the proper chain of 
custody, there'd be blood in the streets.

[RBW] Re: New Kryptonite Bike Lock Idea

[oldmangabe]

I've seen iterations of this idea before. They have either been in the R&D 
phase, or produced in small numbers by local engineers or machinists here 
in SF. It is a neat idea, but when I tested a similar design made locally I 
found it to be too cumbersome and limiting to use in most situations. That 
was the general consensus too among those who tried it. It's interesting to 
see Kryptonite taking this idea to market. I hope it goes well.

[RBW] Re: another stolen sam?

[lungimsam]

That is why I am scared to buy bikes from Clist (if this person bought it 
off Clist). You can never tell if its stolen or not without the seller 
producing the original purchase receipt for the bike.

Now, this isn't mentioned in this case, and hopefully won't happen, but:
What I really don't get is the victim (original bike owner, and victim of 
the theft) having to buy the bike back from the new owner. That is 
ridiculous, nonsensular nonsense.

The bike is the *victim's  (original bike owner's) *property, not the new 
"owner's" property.
The new "owner" needs to get their cash back from the thief, and not try to 
victimize the victim a second time.

Re: [RBW] Re: under-sizing

[Garth]

Sometimes yes, this is true. And sometimes the best feeling is to "just buy 
it" , regardless of cost.  Free of any consideration other than , do I 
really want this ? 

Regardless of how, it's our sense of Liberty that we are expressing and 
feels so darn good !

Liberty !   We all know the feeling, and none agree on how to express it 
..lol.  And that's Liberty !

[RBW] Re: New Kryptonite Bike Lock Idea

[Andrew Marchant-Shapiro]

Interesting.  Someone could make an add-on piece to allow any lock to work 
that way--or (for those who don't like carrying an extra cable) a short 
cable to be used in the same fashion on the (more) vulnerable front wheel.

[RBW] Cambium texture question for Cambiumists

['Hudson Doerge' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I have a cambium on my crossish bike and enjoy it over all. Not quite as comfy 
as my b17s, but very nice. It definitely is harder slide around on due to the 
texture. Especially when riding in regular shorts, haven't really ridden with 
it in cycling shorts.

[RBW] Re: Stolen S. Hillborne reunited with owner

[lungimsam]

At first I was surprised that noone would interrupt a bike thief in 
operation, when I heard about pedestrians not intervening when someone is 
stealing right out in the open.
But then I realized, people probably are not interested in getting into a 
confrontation over a bike.
Now if someone was stealing a baby out of a stroller, I could see Joe 
Citizen feeling that was worth the risk of getting beat, stabbed, or 
shot over.

[RBW] Cambium texture question for Cambiumists

Is it easy to slide around on the saddle?
Or do your shorts tend to stick onto that woven cloth textured saddle

I like to be able to slide and shift easily, like on a B17 without my

Re: [RBW] under-sizing

[Doug Van Cleve]

I always thought this would be cool, find a cheapish (yeah right), kinda
beat All-Rounder and set it up like an MTB.  Certainly going down a size or
even two should look great within that constraint.  Not typical RBW style,
but cool mid-80s to early 90s MTB style...

P.S.  It is just a guess, but I doubt an AR or Atlantis would fit
particularly big tires as a 650B bike.

[RBW] Re: under-sizing

['Chris Lampe 2' via RBW Owners Bunch]

There is so much truth to this.  I'm working on a project bike, trying to 
find that "just right" combination of characteristics that can inform an 
investment in a really high quality frameset.  Right now I've got a bike 
that is just a thrill to ride.  Absolutely perfect for me in almost every 
way!  However, it's a 53.5cm frame and I'm just shy of six foot tall so 
I've got a huge amount of stem that is topped by a high rise handlebar.  No 
matter how good the bike rides.the minute I get off I sort of cringe at 
the way at looks.  And looks ARE important for things we are passionate 
about.  

At this point I'm headed toward either a 26" Surly LHT, a Co-Motion Pangea 
or a Rodriguez UTB.  The Atlatnis was my first choice but I don't think 
it's stout enough for me.  I weigh 400 lbs and I'm pretty strong so I get 
ghost shifting like crazy, even pedaling hard while sitting down.  And the 
Atlantis has toothpicks for stays compared to the others (the LHT is 
questionable..don't know how thick those stays are).  The Pangea and UTB 
literally have tandem stays and they are HUGE!  Probably perfect for me.

[RBW] Re: under-sizing

[Deacon Patrick]

I'm convinced the undersize MTB thing was a marketing ploy (or as Jim 
mentioned, a geometry issue that became a marketing ploy) so folks felt 
safer riding on trails which at the time seemed a wild and crazy thing to 
do. Still today you "need" ultra undersized frames, monster tires, and 
suspension. Ridiculous.

You all have seen the trails I ride. I do great on my upsized Hunqapillar 
and QuickBeam with elbows and knees for shocks and tires no wider than 
2.25". I'm faster on the uphills than anyone so far and slow than a few on 
the downhills (though I wouldn't want to go faster anyway). And I have a 
blast on a bike that fits.

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] Re: under-sizing

[Matt Beebe]

I do a lot of trail biking (which around here means the woods-  hilly 
singletrack with plenty of roots and rocks) on a Quickbeam, which is sized 
rivendell recommended saddle height minus 16cm.I have sometimes felt I 
should have more standover clearance, due to prevailing beliefs.But in 
fact when i think about it, I have actually never had an issue with 
standover-  not once that i can recall-  despite countless foot-downs, 
sudden dismounts, occasional spills, etc. I've definitely been nearly 
violated by the saddle a few times during a sudden dismount or slipped 
pedal, but never by the top-tube.

[RBW] Re: These Cardboard Cargo Carriers Fold Together In Seconds, So Cyclists Can Carry Groceries

[Tom Harrop]

I reckon that's a decent idea for the parts of the EU where you don't get free 
shopping bags at the supermarket (not sure how it works in the US). Not earth 
shattering for me personally because I'm happy taking my enormous saddlesack 
into the shop, but if they were available at the checkout for a buck or so I 
think people would use them.

[RBW] Re: under-sizing

[Cyclofiend Jim]

Part of the reason we all bought "small" mountain bikes was that the frames 
were generally quite long for the given height.   They actually had pretty 
rangy reach to them.  The prevailing wisdom at the time was that you needed 
significant stand over clearance, hence the longer TT's, etc.
