Re: [RBW] Re: Surly Pacer sizing
Thanks guys. I was toying with the idea of something a little lighter and sportier than my 56 Sam. The Sam felt a tiny long for me with Noodles, even with an 8 cm stem. Much better since I changed to Albas and an 11 cm stem a couple years ago. Bars more or less level with the saddle depending on fitness etc. Since Surly won't allow their dealers to ship, the Bob Jackson end to end Audax was a tempting alternative. With the weak pound i could get a frame and fork shipped for around $700. They suggested a 22.5 of 23" frame which works out to either just shy of 58 cm or a bit over. Either way would probably be fine. Unfortunately, as my wife has correctly and repeatedly pointed out, I live in an apartment and have no room (or need) for another bike. I could replace the Sam, but I don't think I want to.

[RBW] Re: Bars for Climbing
Although my Clementine was a naturally comfortable fit out of the blocks, I did give myself time to adapt to the upright position and the Bosco Bulls. I have no issues with getting up out of the saddle to honk up a hill with this setup. And of course it it no problem to gear down and spin up. I will not be touring any time soon, I look forward to reading about your experiences out on the long road with a Clementine. Bon voyage.

[RBW] Re: The Cheviot has arrived!
Hi Tim, Photos will come later, but on the Cheviot, since it's a mixte, the top tube intersects the seat tube in the middle, not at the top. For the rear center pull brake, you need the cable to be on the top of the tube so the cable yoke can be in front of the seat tube. Photos will clarify. And on a mixte for centerpulls, you only need one brazen-on on the front near the head tube, not both. But that single braze-on needs to be at the 12 o'clock position. On the Betty they were at 2 o'clock and some people were able to pull it off. I learned it a few weeks ago. My Betty had a front Paul centerpull and a rear Silver brake (like the Tektro). Will report in clearances between the tires and the fenders later today.

Re: [RBW] Re: 64 cm Orange Ram Update
Alan: I went back and looked at your original post (I find it useful to include the original FS post and photos in bumps) and it looks like a very nice bike and actually a good deal especially with rack and bags. But I've found over the years that demand will swell and dwindle; you might list the bike in a few months and find several offers; OTOH, there are dry spells. Also, I've found out literally dozens of times, that unless you adamantly buy and build cheap and used, it is very rare to get close to one's money back on the sale of a bike or frame. I seem to recall buying and then a couple of years later selling on a Ram frameset for about $600; granted I was owner # 2, if not #3, but this was a mid-curve 58 cm frame of the later model that takes 35s and fenders, and the frameset was in good condition. Demand for a 64 is bound to be less and more sporadic. I also recall selling a 56 cm, original model, original owner Sam Hill, nicely augmented with front low rider bosses, and finding less demand than I'd wished -- I finally sold it as a well built complete bike (but not as nicely built as yours!) for, IIRC, $1,200. This bike might interest someone on the Boblist, which I think is considerably bigger than the RBW list though there is great overlap; perhaps you are not a member of that list? I know that the Boblist listminders disapprove of joining just to sell, but this bike ought to interest so many that perhaps they'd make an exception. (Steve: are you listening?) Aside: If you ever consider selling the 175, 42/30, 50.4 bcd Sugino chainset, I'd be interested in talking.

[RBW] Re: Bars for Climbing
I do not care for the look of the bosco bulls that came with my Clem (H). I like the look of the choco moose bars on the Joe Appaloosa much better. I like that the choco bars are flatter with less rise. I have contemplated a switch. However, in the riding I have done so far, I have found the standard bosco bars to be very comfortable and I will probably stay with them for a while. I am concerned that Riv is going to stop carrying the bosco bull bars because they say they are hard to ship. Has anyone put choco bars (moose or normal) on their Clem?

Yes, I did (put choco-mooses on my Clem). They're great, wouldn't mind a little more extension, but great regardless. Still plenty upright and comfy, and I love having the triangle to run a cable through on extended lockups in the city. Never having to worry about bar slippage or fussing with stem swaps in a quest for extension perfection is another added bonus of the Bullmoose style.

Re: [RBW] Re: 64 cm Orange Ram Update
All good points. One more observation: watching this list the last year, I've found frame sales tends to go better for the seller than full bike sales. Not that you can't sell complete bikes, but many of the posters here (myself included), tend to build up their own rigs and often have enough spare parts banging around to complete at least one bike (again, myself included). In addition, many of us have personal preferences for parts and personal needs for stem length, crank length, gearing, handlebar width, etc. That said, if it was a 62 and I was in the market for a road bike, I'd jump on it!

Yesterday afternoon while out for a short but pleasant ride on the Saluki, about 10 miles around a loop and five miles from home, I suddenly became aware of a slight bumping sensation, which I surmised was coming from my front tire. I couldn't see anything wrong with it but rode the last 5 miles very cautiously. At home I found a bump right across the tread. The tire is a nearly new Pari-Moto. I removed the tire and on the inside discovered an inch long slit in the casing. Unfortunately, I bought the tire early last Summer, then decided to experiment with the Fatty Bumpkins which came on Pat's Betty but didn't actually fit very well. Recently I realized I wasn't riding the Saluki much and suspected it was the tires which were leading me to avoid it. About two weeks ago I put the new Pari-Motos on and fell in love with the bike again. So, bottom line, even if I was certain this was a mfg. defect it would be hard to make a claim now. I tried putting three rolls of electrical tape across the slit but the bubble returned. I cant think of any way the inside of the casing could have failed with out anything coming through the tire. The only other hypothesis I might have is that in order to seat the tire properly I had blown it up to 85, which is 10 more than the recommended max. After the I was sure the bead was on straight, I let some air out but don't own a gage and so didn't recheck the pressure. Still it seems pretty remote that I could have damaged it.

[RBW] Re: Tire trouble & puzzlement
Interior casing failures can happen from manufacturing defects. I've seen it a fair bit, most commonly on continental tires. I doubt that it's from anything you did. Tires should be tested well past their maximum listed psi so I doubt that a short period of high pressure (you probably didn't even ride it at that pressure, I would take it) would be the real cause of such a failure.

[RBW] 650b'd romulus
I've been wanting to try 650b on my romulus since I saw Leslie's ram conversion. Then I was reminded again by Erl's rom conversion, So with soma's recent 20% sale i picked up a 650b wheelset and changed up the romulus: https://www.flickr.com/photos/140959259@N03/29822103061/in/dateposted-public/ I'm pretty happy with the change. I still need to swap out some parts and refine some details, but i mostly just used parts I had around. The cranks on the bike are 175mm and i do worry about the cornering clearance, especially giving the large platform pedals i like. So i'm hoping to switch that out at some point. But for now I'm glad I finally took the plunge - makes the bike so much more enjoyable for me.

[RBW] 650b'd romulus
Sky, Your 650b Rom looks great. I like how the 650b tires look on the frame. I have 1200 miles on mine and continue to enjoy the ride. I am not sensitive to crank arm length, as I know others are, so going from a 170 to a 165 worked. It worked so well I am slowly converting all my cranks to 165. ( i am 5'10 with a 86PBH). Keep the photos coming as you tweak things. Safe cycling wishes, Erl -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: The Cheviot has arrived!
What a fantastic bike! I cannot believe this is the last batch. I thought it would not be possible, but I like it even more than the Betty. The fact that it's my correct size probably has a lot to do with it. But it's more than that alone. Being able to place the saddle further back (Darn Brooks with its limited rearward positioning), the longer stays, the overall feeling when riding it is pure bliss. Truly just ride! I rode 14 miles with a friend this morning, then met my wife for breakfast at our favorite place in California Ave., and I was having so much fun that I just didn't want to go back home. Kept riding to Palo Alto Bikes in downtown to show it to my mechanic, then went onwards to Stanford where my oldest daughter just started her MBA and managed to catch her so I took her for brunch as well, although I didn't eat. Then finally rode home, since I had to pack as I'm traveling this evening. Some first impressions: - Wowed by the B67 Select. I keep wanting to sit a bit further back, but it's quite comfortable and pushed all the way back. I did ride it with padded knickers, but tested it for a short spin on regular shorts and found it comfortable. Especially on the upright (not 100%) position I like. - The Ahearne cockpit with Brooks slender grips is just fantastic. - The shifters on the quill are just perfect for this bike. My mechanic loved the setup. - The 44mm tires are amazing. Tolerances for fenders, as you can see on the photos, will be probably fine, but on the tighter side in terms of extra clearance for safety. - Like the Teltro brakes very much. Did swap their pads for the Yokozuna salmon ones RBW sells. - Added my custom aesthetic touches as you can see in the photos. The kickstand with its own shellacked tape will be added when I get back. So will the rear rack. I was planning to go with the Pleitecher rack, but after seeing the bike built, I can't help but think it has to get the Nitto rear rack. Another excellent improvement on this last series is that braze-one were added in the seat stays higher than the dropout to allow for the mid sized Nitto rear rack to fit. I like it much better since it goes closer to the seat stays and the saddle. Anyway, here are the photos. Enjoy! https://flickr.com/photos/25160594@N05/sets/72157674336110365 BTW, did I say that the blue Cheviot is the prettiest of them all?

[RBW] Re: 650b'd romulus
Thanks Erl, I appreciate the kind words. I might go all the way to 165mm myself - I just measured floor to pedal on the rom vs the saluki and the saluki has 9cm clearance (with pari-moto 38mm and 170mm crank), whereas the rom has 8cm clearance (with 42mm hetres and 175mm crank). so i ought to be able to even things out with a 165mm crank.
