This top pic popped upon Instagram for me and I instantly thought that Riv

[RBW] Need Your Advice on Husband's Crazy Clem Idea

[Surlyprof]

My wife calls my Hillborne the "Barbie Bike" due to my olive sackville 
accesorizing.  The crate is interesting although I'd want the coffee holder on 
the outside to maximize interior space.  Embrace the fact that he's so into the 
Clem that he wants to personalize it.  Even if the crate ends up with an "fs" 
on the list, at least he's making his Riv his own.

[RBW] Re: Need Your Advice on Husband's Crazy Clem Idea

[Deacon Patrick]

I went and cluttered up my "With Abandon" bike adventure site with more 
posts, so here are the specific posts with the hats, proving that indeed 
the hat makes the ride.

Blue Bonnet (sort of a newsboy equivalent)
https://thegrid.ai/with-abandon/spring-splash-grocery-run/

Tiley (sort of a Panama equivalent)
https://thegrid.ai/with-abandon/rampart-reservoir-run/

Islay Steve, Happy Easter to you as well! When we toured Scotland, my wife, 
my 75 year-old cousin, and I hired bikes on Islay and toured each of those 
wondrous distilleries (they are only a mile a part, as you no doubt know). 
Fortunately, all the whisky sampling (always ask to sample the more 
exclusive runs so you a) get more and b) know where to spend your money on 
whisky that can't be got in the US) we did straightened out the previously 
winding coastal road, so our trip back to the B and B was easier. Grin. Pro 
tip: when hiring a bike, check that the handlebars are tight in the stem, 
or at least have the proper (and if necessary, ancient) tools required to 
properly tighten it. Barring either of those, bashing your bike handlebars 
onto the asphalt road to lodge them more securely in the stem is preferable 
to a "dri-stane" wall, which will topple and free the sheep. Whisky, of 
course, helps the entire situation.

Re: [RBW] Re: Need Your Advice on Husband's Crazy Clem Idea

[cyclotourist]

That basket/box is pretty cool. I like bamboo products, and they are
generally Riv-approved as well!
It should adapt fine to the bike. It looks like his Clem has 20mm of spacers
, so the
box _should_ fit on there okay. The 650B tires should be large enough that
the radius will be around 10mm of the 700C bike the box was designed
around. Might have to tilt it fore/aft to adjust it level. Stays look
rather slim for carrying much weight, so don't go crazy at Costco.

I have a Pendleton newsboy
 that I love. Great
hat!
A little hot in summer, I wear a cowboy hat then.

Re: [RBW] Rivs on the Great Divide Route?

[dougP]

If the average snowfall is 60", 100% means getting to that 60" amount.  
Similarly, 120% of average would be 72".  It's also usually expressed in 
relation to time, as in "100% of average for March 27".  

Previous posts have mentioned less than average snowfall last year.  So 
that may mean 75% of average, i.e., only getting 3/4 of the expected snow.  
So people who did this route last year may have encountered less snow than 
would be expected this year at the same time.

[RBW] Re: Need Your Advice on Husband's Crazy Clem Idea

[dougP]

To Leah's "zany husband" (her description, not mine):  GO FOR IT!  

Leah:

Just on the basis of him wanting to pick his own stuff, regardless of 
pedigree, this guy has "got it".  He was perfectly happy with his old bike, 
but, oh no, you had to go get a Betty & introduce him to the world of cool 
bikes.  You can't put the toothpaste back in that tube now.  

So he's on the loose with a credit card, an internet connection and some 
ideas about what he wants.  There really is no "correct" way to set up a 
Rivendell.  I have an old Atlantis catalogue that shows 8 different 
variations for what is meant to be a dedicated touring bike.  Grant one 
time said words to the effect that a frame is just a place to connect 
together the parts you like. 

As to your question "has anyone done this?", my guess is "probably".  
Peruse the staff bikes page at Rivendell and cyclofiend's various photo 
pages.  Besides, it is a cool looking crate, so on the off chance it's not 
been done, it's about time.

While we love being consulted in these matters, the downside is we could 
talk spend weeks debating whether the hardware should be silver or black.  
In the meantime, he'll just buy the crate, install it & be haulin' stuff 
before we run out of steam.  But we have fun.

[RBW] Need Your Advice on Husband's Crazy Clem Idea

[islaysteve]

Leah, you must heed the Deacon's words, for while the rest of us were perhaps 
lost in a pleasant Sunday afternoon slumber, he had given a rather definitive 
response to your query.  Yes, your man may have to (or may have to seek help 
with) modifying the stays and mounting bracket, but a creative solution is 
surely possible.  I say go for it!

And Deacon, darn but but you have some fine taste in whiskey:  all of my 
favorite malts.  A happy Easter to you both.
Cheers, 
 Steve

im all about the cup holder. i made mine more waldish, but i fully support 
the idea. 




panama hats, paperboy hats, wooden crates... personal tastes aside, its 
pretty cool that the clem is bringing out your husband's inner 
child/weirdo.  more people should be so lucky.

[RBW] Re: Need Your Advice on Husband's Crazy Clem Idea

[Deacon Patrick]

Bamboo basket with a Starbucks cup holder may be an original and fabulous 
idea. It is, however, at best a subset of a hundred plus years of using 
beefy wood crates for hauling. Which is neither here nor there. The basket 
should mount fine, though the stem attachment may need adjustment to work 
with a threaded stem (I've no idea) -- but the good elves at your bike 
shop, who doubtless occasionally have ideas all their own without 
consulting here (gasp!) will surely serve you well there. Perhaps others 
can help with the technical aspects more than me.

Of greatest interest and the really important thing here is the hat. Either 
a Panama or newsboy are brilliant. The Panama for relaxed outings and the 
newsboy for rakish speed. A retention strap would help the Panama stay on 
in a wee zephyr, and that's before he adds breeze of his own with relaxed 
speed. An aero tuck with a backwards newsboy is just the thing for a steep 
run down the local hill at devil-may-care speed, and not dissimilar to my 
blue bonnet. To complete the roguish experience, it is critical to replace 
the steaming Starbucks with a bottle of whisky (Ardbeg, Laughroaig, 
Lagavulin being the three options meeting the meaning of the word and 
living up to the demands of a newsboy.).

Sounds like he's on a brilliant tack and he really can't go wrong here. 
Enjoy!

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] Need Your Advice on Husband's Crazy Clem Idea

You all surely remember my zany husband. You know, the one who got a Clem 
solely because it "matched" my Betty Foy, even though his pile of junk Target 
Schwinn "rode just fine". Well, I don't know what's come over him exactly, but 
he has decided to start accessorizing ON HIS OWN. Which is why I now turn to 
you. I told him, "We must make no decisions about our bikes until we have 
consulted The List. How else would we know if this was a good idea? We must 
never have any of our own ideas, and that you may tie to." For reference, his 
Clem is a 52 cm. That's 700cc, right? Well, anyway, this is what he wants on 
the front of his bike:  http://bamboobee.net/product/classic-wooden-crate/

Don't try to convince him of a Nitto rack and Wald basket. It can only be this 
bamboo contraption, which he thinks is an original and fabulous idea. Has 
anyone ever done something like this on their bike? Thoughts? Other suggestions 
(in the line of crates, I would say)?

Oh, and he intends to ride his Clem around wearing something called a Panama 
Hat. Or a Newsboy Hat. Just look them up. I really don't know what this world 
is coming to.

Jesus, be near!

[RBW] Re: 50 t rear cog -- Never walk another hill

[Mike Shaljian]

Hi Joe,

I was curious to know, are you using a 10-speed drivetrain on your Jones 
Plus? If so, are you also using a clutch derailleur? I'm wondering if some 
of the problems I've had are a result of stubbornly hanging onto a 9-speed 
drivetrain, as I know the Surly OD chainrings are designed for 10-speed but 
will work with 9-speed. I'm still determined to switch to 1X, but it would 
be interesting to know if chain width could be a factor in the issues I've 
had. 

Best,

Mike

[RBW] Re: imitation as flattery

[Lungimsam]

I saw some nice looking functional Scwinns and Huffys  at  a college recently. 
I think I saw this huffy there, too. Of course, I dont know how well they 
perform or last. But they looked nice.

Re: [RBW] Re: Atlantis in the new Levi's commercial

[Lungimsam]

Apparantly there can be all kinda reasons why a prop gets into the picture in 
show biz. Sometimes arbitrary, sometimes not.

Back in the late '60's there was a group called the Peppermint Rainbow. One of 
the singers told me that they  were on a CBS TV show doing their song "Will You 
be Staying After Sunday?".

They were using all Fender instruments even though in real life some of them 
played other instruments. But since CBS was the TV network, and CBS also owned 
Fender instruments at the time, CBS told them they had to use Fender stuff.
