[RBW] Re: Brooks Saddle Repair - Broken Tension Shackle

[Mike On A Bike]

I had a tension bolt crack on my B17 back in 2011 and Brooks covered it under 
warranty for me. They directed me to contact Hanford Cycles in Philadelphia, 
who expediently replaced the bolt. The contact info I have from the warranty 
claim email had the email address as hanfordcyc...@gmail.com and Simon Firth 
was the guy I was in contact with over there. Best of luck keeping the leather 
alive!

[RBW] Re: 51cm Sam Hillborne build: advice?

[Lungimsam]

You should also measure the width of your fork blades. Sometimes this is the 
limiting factor.
FOr instance,  Honjo H-50 fenders fit in the Tektro R559 brakes great on my 
Bleriot, but I only have about 1mm of airspace between the sides of the fenders 
and the inside of the fork blades. So they just make it. Can't use any wider 
fenders than that.

[RBW] Need to 3D-scan Rivendell Atlantis in NYC area for ShareRoller electric bike mount

[Jeff Guida]

Hello everyone, 

I am the creator of ShareRoller, a portable, detachable electric friction 
drive system for bicycles and scooters.  ShareRoller requires a 
custom-designed adaptor mount to be used on many bikes, and I have an 
out-of-state customer with a Rivendell Atlantis for whom we need to design 
such a mount.

The process is pretty simple - we use our 3D scanning system to scan the 
fork/wheel area of the bike, then design the adaptor mount in AutoCAD, then 
3D print the mount.

We'd need about 2 hrs with your bike to scan it and would be willing to pay 
$ to 'rent' it briefly, or if you're interested in a ShareRoller for your 
own Atlantis, we could work out something on that end as well.  We could do 
the scanning at your location so your bike wouldn't be 'out of sight', or 
we're happy to pick it up and return it if that's easier.  Please note that 
your bike wouldn't be ridden or used in any way - it's essentially a photo 
shoot, but for CAD data instead of pics!

Please let me know if anyone is interested.

Thanks!

[RBW] FS: Bottom Brackets 107, 110, 113

[RDS]

I have 3 bottom brackets for sale.  68 x 107 and 68 x 113 is the Shimano 
BB-UN55.  68 x 110 is IRD Quad model QB75.  The 107 and 110 were purchased 
from Riv.  All of these are the type of bottom bracket that Riv would sell. 
 
I just had my first attempt at building up my first bike.  As you can see 
by the extra bottom brackets that I amassed, it was a learning process. 
 None of the bottom brackets were ever ridden.  Each bottom bracket was 
installed on the frame and the crank was installed one or more times.  So, 
each spindle will show markings where the Sugino XD2 Triple crank and crank 
arm were installed and removed.  So, the only use they got was when I was 
pedalling the bike by hand while in the repair stand.  So, these are about 
as new as you can get other than the markings/scratches where the crank was 
installed.

For each, I will do $30 and that will include me shipping it to you USPS 
Priority mail (unless you prefer another shipping method).  I will only 
ship to the 48 contiguous states in the USA.  No international shipping.

Email if you want to see pics.  It may be Tuesday morning before I will 
email the pics as it is late her in Georgia.

Re: [RBW] Wrenching Apron

[Patrick Moore]

I have two: One nice dark green one from Rowland's Nursery, where I worked
a part time second job 11 years ago, before the company folded -- thick
cotton canvas with 3 front pockets and long enough to protect; and in
second place my deceased father's barbeque apron, only 1 pocket but even
longer -- wadded up behind Stevie's counter; hope it isn't lost.

(I've got a neck to mid-shin, heavy cotton apron in bright yellow with
flowers, bought on remainder at Rowland's, but that's my cooking apron.)

My question is: what do you wear to keep your hair and sweat from getting
into your eyes while wrenching? I need a second Rivendell cycling cap -- my
only one stays in the car for open window driving.

Here's another query: What is the max fender width that can fit under

but those who use these have canti or v brakes? Does anyone have these 
mounted with Tektro long-reach brakes?

Thanks again!

[RBW] Re: Brake Squeal

[hsmitham]

Deacon, 

I had this same problem with my slimline koolstop Salmon pads mounted on my 
Atlantis. I decided to replace them with new 
http://www.koolstop.com/english/supra2.html 

I went with a shorter pad because I felt it would be easier to toe, for me that 
proved to be the case.

I agree with John about using Grant's trick of securing the brakes to the rim 
during adjustment, I however disagree with sanding rims and pads. Beyond the 
toe issue the main culprit is dirty rim surface and brake pad surface. I'm 
assuming here that you decided to replace the pads because of brake squeal in 
the first place. And since you ride through some pretty rough terrain, snow, 
mud/dirt and water there has to be a bunch of dirt on your rims. But now even 
after replacing the pads and cleaning the rim the squeal remains. Like me you 
assumed it was a toe in issue/mechanic error. A friend advised me to use 
lacquer thinner and a green scrub pad to clean both rim surface and now that 
you've used the pads the pads also. The lacquer thinner will not leave a 
residue and will properly remove the dirt and grease embedded in both surfaces. 
Don't confuse other types of thinners as my friend advised they are petroleum 
based and will leave a residue. 

Lastly, on toe. Really the other poster has it right, just lay the pads flat 
against the rim snug the nut then do your toe it doesn't need a lot just eye 
ball it as long as the front meets the rim surface first it'll be fine. Take 
your time it's like meditation.

Let us know how it works out.

[RBW] Re: Six Pillars Century Ride Cambridge, MD 2015

[Tony DeFilippo]

I just spoke to the powdercoater... Sounds like the color is on and repeatedly 
looks great,  british racing green and cream.  He is not sure about my request 
to have it finished flat so he's trying to get a sample done before we commit.  
I'm excited, can't wait to get it back on the road.

Re: [RBW] Re: New custom bag from David Banzer/Treetop Bags

[Patrick Moore]

571 bead seat diameter is called 650C (though someone just said this
nomenclature refers not to tubulars but only to clinchers -- which in true
terminal exactitude aren't really clinchers but "wired ons" (Sheldon!) --
though in my case it's not "wire).

Aside: Jan's proposed 559 tires bridge the annoying gap between 650C --
nothing fatter than 23 mm -- and 559 -- hitherto, no really top of the line
tires of racing quality and design (ie, very  supple and very light).
Kojaks are close but no cigar.

[RBW] Any doing Oregon Outback?

[Mike Shaljian]

Wish I was! I haven't had a chance to get in any shorter "practice" bikepacking 
tours, so I'm not going to take on the Xtreme logistical challenge that the 
Outback seems to be. The whole not ending up where you started deal definitely 
puts a bit of a damper on this route for me, though I'm sure it would be easy 
enough to coordinate a ride back with others if doing the "official" ride. 
Thing is, I don't have a sense of how long I'd want to take with this, probably 
4 days personally, but a friend who was interested in riding with me was 
thinking 5-6. 

In lieu of this, I'm planning to do the Steens Mountain route from VeloDirt at 
some point in July to get a good Oregon tour in. Also planning to ride the 
Oregon Stampede route soon to discover the Dalles. 

Yay summer! Yay bikepacking! I'm rooting for all those planning to gut out the 
367 miles!

 Subject: [RBW] FS: Size 61 Canti-Romulus, built in 2006. $850
   

#yiv1104706249 I am selling the first Rivendell that I ever purchased new.It is 
a 61 cm frame, built up in April of 2006. I purchased it on April 8,2006. It 
has long been one of my favorite Riv’s, but I have not ridden it toooften in 
the past few years, mainly because it still has drop bars. I muchprefer Alba’s 
these days, which all my other bikes now have.  I just can’t see this frame 
without theNoodles that it came with. It really is a road bike, and most of my 
rides thesedays are commutes or fireroads. The RBW descriptive about this frame 
was :  “The Romulus is a road frame, virtually interchangeablewith the 
Rambouillet, and it rides dreamily. But if you're reasonably skillfuland have 
reasonable judgement, you'll find it a delight on fire trails as well(with 
appropriate tires). The cantilver brakes open up the area under thecrown, and 
let's a lot of things happen there. When you pick your parts fromthis list, 
we'll make sure they all add up to a smart, working bike. Anyquestions, just 
ask, we're happy to answer anything. Toe clip overlap willhappen on 55cm & 57cm 
frames, depending on your tire, and fenders. It's nota big deal, not worth 
fretting about, and most certainly is not a design goof.But some folks can't 
live with it, and if you're among 'em don't get one ofthese. SIZING: Refer to 
page 76 in the catalogue, to get your PBH. Your framesize is PBH minus 25 to 
27. If minus 25 lands you on a 61 and minus 27 says a59.” I have about 3800 
miles on the frame and drivetrain. I don’tbaby my bikes, so it has reasonable 
beausage, but no dents. Always garaged.Mechanically, I take good cars of my 
bikes. However, I don’t wash and cleanthem often, and barely did a cursory 
wipe-down to prep for this sale. Just notmy thing. The longest single ride I 
took on this frame was an Oregoncoast ride in 2007.  I also haveridden it in 
several local centuries. I am asking $850 + cost of shipping.  If you live 
within 30 minutes of myhome in San Francisco (near the Golden Gate Bridge) I 
will bring it to you.PayPal is OK, otherwise a cashiers check from USPS.

[RBW] Wrenching Apron

My wife converted an old kitchen apron into what she calls my “St. Joseph Shop

Tony,

I've not done a taste test of our organic cotton bandana material my wife 
sews the filters from, but they sure work great. Or, yes, just use a 
bandana and don't mess with sewing it into the cone shape (but a bandana is 
a lot bigger than the Helix needs, or a full sized drip cone for that 
matter). She also made me a tea infusion bag for my Scottish breakfast tea, 
so I'm all set! Grin.

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] Re: FS: 1985 Trek 420 Sport Touring - lugged Waterloo-made goodness. Nitto, Brooks, n' more. and 26" conversion final report.

[cbone97]

It could clear, just barely, a 1.75" Conti Town and Country (ie no knobs) 
in the rear. Maybe 2-3 mm per side at the chainstays. The front fork could 
probably do a 2".

I have little to no experience with fenders so not sure how this would 
change things, but the chainstays were chock full with a 1.75" tire, so 
guessing maybe a 1.5" or so with fenders?

I sold this frame locally.  Now looking back at the pics and kinda wishing 
I hadn't!  Thanks for the kind words...now who wants to buy a pair of giant 
Tektro sidepulls? ; )

Thanks. If you admire mine, I'll admire yours!

It's not metallic, as far as I know -- metallic means little speckly

Re: [RBW] Re: [BOB] Re: Photos: please consider providing link rather than attachment

[Patrick Moore]

Y'all help out a clueless photo app/attachment/doohickey user.

First, I bailed on Picassa a couple of years ago after they (IMEO) f*
it up by making it harder to use and requiring something or other from me
that I now forget and that I didn't want to give them. (I also want to bail
on Google, but that's harder to do. Gawdarn feature creep!)

Here's my question:

Is hooking photos to the email in the way Jim described below, as with my
recent FS posts, instead of pasting the photo directly into the body of the
email, GOOD or BAD?

Patrick "we got no links" Moore, with beetled brow furrowed in concentrated
exasperation. (I have attache a photo using this method to illustrate my
question.)

Re: [RBW] Re: New ACW mugs inspired by the orange...

[Tony DeFilippo]

Got mine too! Very fast shipping.  It's a great looking cup, definitely
'petite' size compared to my normal in house mug's but I think it'll do
nicely w/ my Helix as sweet pour over kit.  Stay tuned for it to star in
some coffee outdoors shots coming to the list soon! :)

Patrick and others, are you using a piece of cloth instead of filters for
your pour over?  I've heard about it but never tried. Can you taste a
difference or is it just a cheaper/less impactful way of brewing up?

[RBW] Re: [BOB] Photos: please consider providing link rather than attachment

[tarik saleh]

Yeah, wow, in an admittedly unscientific study, I just deleted all the Bob,
RBW and CR mail since April 14, 2015, so not even a month since I dumped 10
GB of material. iBob and RBW were at  ~100MB each, CR was at something like
300 MB. Again,  for less than a month, that is half a GB of email traffic.
Anyhow, from old school email dynamics that is a complete travesty, but
again, it is not sitting on a drive in Alex's basement anymore, so the more
the merrier I guess.

I usually delete CR a few times a year, but I do value quick easy mailbox
searches on Ibob and RBW as there is content I value more often, but again
we are looking at 1GB of email a year EACH from ibob and RBW. Which is not
text. That is images.  I don't download images on my phone unless I want
them, but it seems like we are way beyond a tipping point.

So I think the cat is out of the bag and we won't go back the way it was
and it will only get worse, so I think whatever plan I used to have is
invalid, carry on into the future you image attaching peoples.

Later

Cool bag! Neat bottle holder/divider!

That's a beautiful bike. I love the colors. Is it a metallic finish? Blue

RE: [RBW] I love my Quickbeam.

[Allingham II, Thomas J]

I’m not sure – I bought the frame on special from Riv.  They called it red, 
which isn’t really accurate.  Or if it’s accurate, it would have to be a VERY 
deep red.  I’d describe it as maroon.  It’s a good color for a QB – very 
understated, and I like the cream headtube as a contrast.

Of course I’m not offended – have at it!  I think there’s an old Riv mixte in 
roughly that color somewhere on Flickr, if I remember rightly.

And thanks for the kind words!

[RBW] Re: [BOB] Re: Photos: please consider providing link rather than attachment

[tarik saleh]

I had over 10 GB in Ibob and RBW and CR lists in my gmail box (I went from
15GB to 5GB after deleting the entirety of those 3 folders)  which really
is 100% due to people attaching photos to the email list. I think attaching
photos is bad form for an email list, but I realize from the level of
bizarre complaints about trouble replying directly to the sender off list,
  many many  people seem to use the google group  interface.

 So I think David's complaint is valid, but i suspect it is a completely
lost cause.  Not sure there is a good solution for those of us who are used
to old email list style management. The google group interface is awful in
my experience, especially for how I like to interact with the lists, but I
would pretend to speak for anyone else.

[RBW] Re: Six Pillars Century Ride Cambridge, MD 2015

[Lungimsam]

Thanks, everybody. It was so much fun. It is a very friendly and pleasant 
century, and I highly recommend it. Very pleasant riding as long as the 
headwinds are few. Last year there were virtually none.

I remember I also saw a black (carbon?) Calfee tandem. So add that to the 
list of interesting bikes.

Yes, that is the NIB 53 Bleriot frameset I got from PJWCycles last year. He 
had a couple he was selling off along with a couple Hilsens. I guess he dug 
them outta the warehouse. Someone named Peter started the thread about them 
being for sale here, and I contacted PJWCycles.

I have been planning on posting pics and build details.

[RBW] WTB: 650B wheels/rims

[M D Smith]

Hello All-

I am looking to do a 650b conversion on my sweetheart's awesome Shogun mixte as 
a birthday present for her. 

I kind of have to do it on the frugal side.  I have a line on brakes and tires. 
I am looking for a budget set of 650B wheels (120 OLD, unfortunately.) 

I would also interested (preferred, actually) in a pair of 32 hole rims. I 
might end up exploring other hub options, so I'm open to other drillings.

Please let me know if you have anything lying around. I can do cash or trade. 
I've got (used...) a 46cm Noodle bar, some Cane Creek levers, Mafac cantis, MKS 
lite touring pedals, a Brooks Champion Flier ( sprung B-17) and some other 
stuff. 

Please contact me off list at beewak -at- gmail -dot- com

Cheers- Mike in Htfd, CT

[RBW] FS: Size 61 Canti-Romulus, built in 2006. $850

[r . shine]

I am selling the first Rivendell that I ever purchased new. It is a 61 cm 
frame, built up in April of 2006. I purchased it on April 8, 2006. It has 
long been one of my favorite Riv’s, but I have not ridden it too often in 
the past few years, mainly because it still has drop bars. I much prefer 
Alba’s these days, which all my other bikes now have.  I just can’t see 
this frame without the Noodles that it came with. It really is a road bike, 
and most of my rides these days are commutes or fireroads.

 

The RBW descriptive about this frame was : 

 

*“The Romulus is a road frame, virtually interchangeable with the 
Rambouillet, and it rides dreamily. But if you're reasonably skillful and 
have reasonable judgement, you'll find it a delight on fire trails as well 
(with appropriate tires). The cantilver brakes open up the area under the 
crown, and let's a lot of things happen there. When you pick your parts 
from this list, we'll make sure they all add up to a smart, working bike. 
Any questions, just ask, we're happy to answer anything. Toe clip overlap 
will happen on 55cm & 57cm frames, depending on your tire, and fenders. 
It's not a big deal, not worth fretting about, and most certainly is not a 
design goof. But some folks can't live with it, and if you're among 'em 
don't get one of these. SIZING: Refer to page 76 in the catalogue, to get 
your PBH. Your frame size is PBH minus 25 to 27. If minus 25 lands you on a 
61 and minus 27 says a 59.”*

 

I have about 3800 miles on the frame and drivetrain. I don’t baby my bikes, 
so it has reasonable beausage, but no dents. Always garaged. Mechanically, 
I take good cars of my bikes. However, I don’t wash and clean them often, 
and barely did a cursory wipe-down to prep for this sale. Just not my thing.

 

The longest single ride I took on this frame was an Oregon coast ride in 
2007.  I also have ridden it in several local centuries. 

I am asking $850 + cost of shipping.  If you live within 30 minutes of my 
home in San Francisco (near the Golden Gate Bridge) I will bring it to you. 
PayPal is OK, otherwise a cashiers check from USPS.

 

Contact me off-list to discuss:   r.sh...@sbcglobal.net

[RBW] Re: Brake Squeal

[Jon in the foothills of Central Colorado]

If the toe-in is set correctly you can try lightly abraiding the pads with 
some sandpaper. If your rim has a build up of rubber or dirt abraid them 
with a scotch bright pad or fine sand paper.Clean all surfaces with alcohol.
Hope you get rid of the annoying squeal.:) I know "clean" is not a word you 
like to use when referring to bikes( Grin)

[RBW] Re: New ACW mugs inspired by the orange...

['jinxed' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I struggle with this too. Cleaning it trailside has not worked well. Now I 
just bring it home. I shake out the grounds best I can, then fold it up and 
seal in the container I use to carry my coffee. Once home I clean 
everything proper. This works fine for an out and back, but not for 
multiple cups or overnight.

[RBW] Re: Brake Squeal

[Surlyprof]

Keven had suggested that I use a folded over piece of sandpaper to set 
toe-in.  Depending on the sanding grit (probably greater than 320), I would 
guess that would put it at about a dime or credit card.  I use Grant's 
trick of hooking a section of innertube around the brake lever to hold it 
in place while I tighten it down (
http://rivbike.tumblr.com/post/108583281029/eleven-geeky-tips-that-will-ever-so-slightly
  
Tip #11).  Has worked so far.

['jinxed' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Glad it arrived quick for you!

The aeropress works fine if you use the base/funnel and is very sturdy. I 
too prefer a pourover while on the bike. I've been using a collapsable 
silicone jobbie, but want to get a helix.

I MUCH prefer the shape and insulation too. Stainless should be far tougher 
than the enamel, but obviously not impervious to damage from crashing a 
bike on it.

I recently ordered and am anticipating receipt of this fine looking mug
myself. I'm also an aeropress owner and regular user. I've found, that with
some mugs where the aeropress fit is a bit sketchy, as you've described,
Deacon, that I can use the funnel, which I believe is primarily meant as a
means to better funnel the coffee into the aeropress, to adapt it to a more
solid fit/feel while plunging, to get the brew out of the press, as
illustrated on this mug that doesn't really need the funnel to fit well,
but was my cup du jour:

[RBW] VO Grand Cru Double

[George Schick]

Anyone on this blog have experience with the VO Grand Cru 110 Double 
crankset?  I'm eying this as the next replacement crank for one of my 
bikes.  I like the 34x48 chainring gearing and the neo/retro looks of the 
fluted arms and the polished rings.

I loosen the shoes and I just press the pads flat against the rims at the

pads against rim simultaneously while I adjust the shoes up and down

If they squeal, which they normally don't do, I throw some water on them

Re: [RBW] Re: Brake Squeal

[Patrick Moore]

FWIW, the Salmons on my Rivs squeal under hard braking when temps dip much
below 50*F. At 60*F, no squeal. Single pivot calipers, but top end ones.
And this phenomenon started only a year or 2 ago -- never saw it before.
Sanding pads and cleaning rims don't stop it, tho' it mitigates it.

These same pads did squeal when new to these same rims (new pads, old rims;
Sun M14A and ME14A respectively) but it took only a month or so for them to
mate. Fronts -- both bikes have only front brakes.

[RBW] Re: Brake Squeal

My experience with Kool Stop salmon pads (which I use on most of my bikes) 
is that even when the toe-in is set correctly, they squeal when they are 
new.  Usually for the first 10-20 miles. Then they tend to settle in and 
quiet down.  If the toe is set wrong, they will squeal relentlessly. Either 
they will quiet down shortly on their own, or you just need to tweak the 
toe-in a bit.

Re: [RBW] Brake Squeal

[Tim Gavin]

Your understanding is correct, so far.  Toe-in is so-called because it
calls to mind a pigeon-toed, inward-pointed stance.  As a shoeless deacon,
that image should be easy to picture.  :)

Many people put a shim (like a dime, there are better solutions on the web)
behind the rear of the pad when mounting, for a predictable toe-in angle.

Any part of the brake that is loose could be causing the vibration/squeal.
-- Ensure the brake bolts are tight
-- Check for vibration in the cable or straddle wire.  The tektro brake
hanger Riv sells  works well
to reduce shudder from this area.

[RBW] Brake Squeal

[Deacon Patrick]

Confirming my understanding, which heaven knows I’ve gotten wrong once before. 
Grin.

— Brake squeal is most likely due to insufficient toe-in?
— Toe-in should have the front of the brake pads hitting the rim first.

I just changed the Hunqapiller’s pads with the same Kool-stop salmon pads, and 
now have squeal in the front pad. I’d lessened the toe-in on it because it 
looked excessive.

[RBW] Re: New ACW mugs inspired by the orange...

[Deacon Patrick]

Thank you for the rapid shipping, Brad! What a fantastic wee cup. Here are 
my initial impressions/observations:

-- Aeropress is too wide to sit (rest) solidly inside the mug, but the mug 
is wide enough that coffee can be brewed into it using the Aeropress -- 
doing so requires punging with one hand on the plunger, the other on the 
winder section so the Aeropress doesn't ram/wedge into the mug. I brew 
using the standard, and it seems like the inverted might be awkward, at 
greater risk to spill? Others will have to comment on that. Not a big issue 
with me and the Aeropress is not what I take bikepacking, Helix cone is.
-- Feels very good and smooth on the lips and good in the hand. 
-- very light (I love!), possibly at the expense of being too light and 
susceptible to dings? Time will tell. I have no problem with dings, but 
they do reduce the effect of being double walled.
-- Graphic looks great is is much more durable than the enamel mugs.

Overall, a great mug, and I believe an improvement (for me) over the enamel 
ones. Thank you, Brad!

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] Re: front derailleur for widelow recommendation

[Ron Mc]

the nice thing about the cross FD is how nicely the cage conforms to the 
size of the big ring - it's made for a 46T rather than 52+  
That said, I use an old Shimano 600 Arabesque double FD on a cyclotouriste 
triple with 47/42/26T and it works great.

I use Gmail and subscribe to several email lists including iBOB and RBW

uncluttered). Recently I've been getting an alert from Gmail saying I am
almost at my 15 GB limit for free storage. I would rather not pay Google a

messages using the term "larger:5m " I found many bike list emails, often
of the For Sale variety, with large photo attachments. I humbly request
that list members consider uploading their photos to one of the many free
sites like Flickr or Picasa and providing a link, rather than attaching
large photos directly to emails.

If anybody has other suggestions, I'm all ears. I realize there is the

I have used several different old standard road front shifters with my 
48/28 and 52/32 setups on old TA and Stronglight cranks without problems. 
The shifting itself has never been an issue, but with those cranks you must 
have a shifter with a flat outer cage as the space between the outer chain 
ring and the crank arm is very very narrow. If you don't have that problem, 
anything that fits works, from my experience.

[RBW] REVISED FS: Rivendell Road Standard, Frameset

[David Hallerman]

I've made it easier to buy this Rivendell bike. Too often, a whole bike 
has parts too specific to match up with another person's desires, let 
alone also the size.


So now it's simple. I'm selling just the frame and fork for *$1300, plus 
shipping.*


Check or postal money order is fine.
PayPal is good if you cover the fee.

The photos below show the whole bike, but that's kind of like how it's 
easier to see how a home for sale might look for the buyer when it's not 
totally empty of furniture.


LMK if you have any questions about this barely used frame and fork with 
only 254 miles on it since Joe Bell repainted it. Oh yes, this frame 
fits me perfectly -- at 5'10" -- the same way a 56cm square frame does. 
Rivendell has a lower bottom bracket than average, for instance, which

Wow, you had wonderful weather to go with the beautiful scenery. 
 Congratulations on riding the century.  That is on my list to accomplish 
this year.  Your Bleriot looks great..

[RBW] Six Pillars Century Ride Cambridge, MD 2015

[Tony DeFilippo]

Great report, great pictures! Your Bleriot looks super sharp and well equipped 
in rando attire.  Didn't you pick that up from Peter White last year?

[RBW] Re: front derailleur for widelow recommendation

[Ron Mc]

As opposed to a half-step triple, where I find myself shifting the FD more 
often than the RD, I really don't shift the compact double FD that often. 
 When you do shift to the small ring to climb, you can stay there a long 
time, as the small cogs on the small ring typically take you well into 50+" 
gears, which works for most off-road,  and approach and plateau gears on 
steep road climbs (I have a 14% grade to get to my house). .
