[RBW] Re: An un-obstructive front handle bar bag for boscos?

[Sky Coulter]

Annie,

There's a handlebar bag I've seen a couple times on ebay that might fit the 
bill, though I've never used it and have no idea of the quality:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Grand-Bois-Decaleur-Handlebag-CLASSIC-FRENCH-Touring-Randonneur-Bag-Bracket-/201657768846?hash=item2ef3bd5b8e:g:ce0AAOSwLVZV54Ud

It comes with a bracket to attach it to the stem, is 10x7x8, and costs 60 
dolllars.

Re: [RBW] A plug to buy something from Rivendell Bicycle Works: A Nitto F-15 rack

[Bill in Roswell GA]

Alex Cycle in Japan has a number of Ostrich bags that fit the F15. The US 
has a very favorable exchange rate with the Yen these days. 

I'm still debating whether the F15 or the Klickfix mount such as Swift 
uses. Either way, I'm reluctant to need a rack for a front bag as I would 
like to move the bag from bike to bike quickly, sans tools. With a Klickfix 
one could have base mounts on several bikes, but I don't care for the 
visual of a mount in bars when I'm not using the bag. 

In my mind, some strong, rectangular magnetic strips on the bar, either 
side of the stem, would be less noticeable sans bag. The bag would have 
rectangular receivers, as well as traditional bar straps. There are a 
number of engineering design approaches. It's having the tools to make them 
that is rub - or pay a machinist shop to make them! 

Cheers,
Bill in Roswell, GA

[Bill in Roswell GA]

I would love to have the Acorn mini rando, too, but Ron decided not to 
produce it any more. Likely sales didn't justify the time needed to produce 
a small bag with so many details.

If there is one up for sale I'm certainly willing to make an offer.

[RBW] Re: Hillborne tire clearance

[Surlyprof]

I use 700x40mm Mondials (measures 39.5) with sks fenders and 45mm Smart 
Sams without fenders.  The Smart Sams rubbed occasionally on a Pletscher 
double kickstand when I cranked the pedals.  I swapped it out for a single 
and had no further problems.

[RBW] Re: Anyone seen that Rosco Bunbaloosa in person?

[Surlyprof]

I only saw the frameset a couple of months ago at Riv.  Looked like it had 
bigger tire clearance than the Hillborne-fork-based Roscoes have.  It was 
one of the best looking mixtes I've ever seen.  Between the lower bar, grab 
handle bar, clearance for wider tires and that beautiful, matte blue, I 
thought it would be an outstanding city bike (trails, too).  I didn't take 
a picture then because I wasn't sure if it was still a secret.  Seeing the 
shot on FB, it looks even better built up.  Wish I could talk the wife into 
it so I would have permanent access.

[RBW] Re: An un-obstructive front handle bar bag for boscos?

[anniebikes]

Everyone has been most helpful! I think it's very interesting (and little 
annoying) that the bosco bars have so much hand real estate yet traditional 
handle bar bags will only work, using a bracket which offsets it just 
enough to allow full hand movement across the bar. I now understand why 
Rivendell likes the front basket...I guess to completely free up the front 
bar, but leave items within reach? I don't think there's an easy solution 
for me. I'll most likely fashion what I want.

[RBW] Re: Choosing between Sam and Joe

[Surlyprof]

I would lean toward the Sam only because you sound like you're planning 
mostly road riding and only some trails.  I agree with Evan's assessment 
that the Sam is a little more spritely due to the shorter wheelbase and 
slightly lighter tubing (I think).  I've got a 56 canti-Sam (in the older, 
brighter, metallic orange) and I ride it on my daily mixed terrain commute 
loaded with all my books, teaching and office supplies and it handles it 
like a champ.  On the weekends, I lose the load and put on a lighter 
wheelset for road rides so I can enjoy that spritely feel.  I've also 
ridden mountain trails with a set of 45cm Smart Sams (no fenders) which is 
also fun.  I've only had one short Appaloosa test ride in the rain and it 
did feel fantastic.  Smooth, stable and, dare I say, graceful.  I thought I 
might want to buy the Joe and sell the Sam with the intent of riding more 
trails with the capacity for fatter tires.  Decided to keep the Sam since I 
ride roads a little more often than trails.  

Good decision to have.  I'm confident you'll be thrilled with either since 
you can't go wrong either way.

[RBW] Choosing between Sam and Joe

[Joe Bernard]

My PBH is somewhere around 79-80, and I would have guessed I needed a 46 Joe, 
too. Wrong! I rode a 51 (light blue) with dropbars, it was perfect, I bought 
it. I've since switched to Choco-Moose bars, also perfect. I'm not a big fan of 
the Sam orange, either; if you like the blue Joe get it now 'cause that color 
is discontinued. Trust me on this, Joe Appaloosa is a wonderful bicycle.

I know that both IRD and Soma have them in stock, but the chances that this

non-new price.

[Evan E.]

I vote for Sam. It's a tad lighter, so its ride is apt to be a bit more 
spritely. And it's still stout enough for camping and for on-pavement 
touring. 

By the way: When you say the Joe A. was "quite different," could you 
describe the difference?

[Eric Norris]

I’ve gone in a different (waxed canvas) direction with my panniers, so these 
are in need of a new home. Full set of matched front and rear panniers. Nicely 
constructed, lots of pockets, easy on and off the bike.

Photos here: https://flic.kr/s/aHskHvQejL  

Lightly used—these came with a bike I purchased about a year ago. I’ve used the 
rear bags for one three-day tour, and the full set was used a few times by the 
previous owner.

Not sure what the price on these is—how does $200 shipped in the CONUS sound?

Email me if you have any questions or want to make an offer below $200.

PayPal preferred.

[RBW] Re: An un-obstructive front handle bar bag for boscos?

[Scott Blouke]

I don't know how close you hold the bars to the stem but you could look at 
the Randi Jo Fab 'Bartender Bag' or the 'Pocket 'Tender'.  
They sound similar to what you are describing making.

@Belopsky: Agreed!   I there's a lot to know before I can pull off this

I'm getting wheels built by Rich Lesnik (the official wheel builder at Riv).

Already placed an order for Velocity Atlas front with SP dynamo.

[RBW] Re: Hillborne tire clearance

[Marc40a]

Tim, I run 38mm Barlow's Pass with longboards and for the sake of fender 
coverage, I wouldn't go wider. Fenders do their job best with some extra width. 
P50s would be a better match for a tire beyond 38mm.

Regarding the max with no fenders, I wouldn't go beyond 45mm. I ran Smart Sams 
last summer and it was a tight fit. 

All my experience is with 700cc tires, so ymmv.

[RBW] Choosing between Sam and Joe

[Ashwath Akirekadu]

Visited Rivendell HQ earlier this week.  It was really hard to squeeze time 
for it, but I thought I owed myself a ride on a real Riv before committing 
to San Marcos project.  It was a lovely experience.  Had planned on 
spending an hour.   Ended up spending more than 4 hours ;).   I was 
discussing Sam H vs San M with one of the associates.  At some point Grant 
yelled from his office "Sam is just better".Rode 51cm Sam for an hour. 
 In the end my feeling was that there just can't be a single way Marcos 
could possibly better.   

I should have purchased a Sam frame and left.  I was curious about the 
Choco-Moose bar that was on a Jeo.  To try the handlebar I took Joe for a 
quick ride.  What a mistake :D   Joe was quite different and felt strangely 
pleasant.  

It was getting late, so I left decision pending.

The color might also have played a role why I didn't decide on Sam then and 
there.  While I loved Sam, I didn't like the new Orange color.I like 
the blue color of Joe.  Looking at Joe's geometry though, 46cm seems to be 
my size (PBH 81cm) which has 26" wheel.  Aesthetically I don't prefer 
wheels that small.  

Here's my planned usage for the new bike: Ride to work once a week (46 
miles roundtrip).  Around the town, farmers market.  Weekend overnight 
camping rides 4-5 times a year.   Sometime in next 5 years I'm hoping to 
ride on Dalton Highway for a week to 10 days.

Thoughts on which way I should go?  
Will 51cm Joe (which works with 650B) be too big for me?
If I want a blue Sam, how frequently such frames show up on the used market?

Thanks!

PS: my posts making through moderator approval has been a hit or miss. 
 Really hoping this one gets a pass!

[RBW] Re: Long bikes

[Les Lammers]

*The Salsa Marrakesh, in "flat bar" flavor. The size large would fit me, 
and it has a 63cm top tube.*


I'm no expert but the Salsa with the longer TT will be a better fit for 
you. There is only so much you can do with stem length and bars.

[RBW] FS: map/ahearne-nitto-Paul-shimano cockpit

[drew]

Have a lightly used cockpit. Map ahearne bars in the wider size, nitto tallux 
stem, silver Paul thumbies with shimano shifters, shimano mtb levers and nitto 
bar end plugs. All in good-newish condition. Some minor insertion marks on the 
stem. Newbaums wrapped and shellacked. 

I'd like to sell it all together. Estimating retail to be around 250$, so I'm 
Thinking 175$ shipped. 

Pics to come

[RBW] Nice Fall Ride

[Scott McLain]

You guys inspired me to go for a ride over the Thanksgiving Day break.  I 
was also inspired by the nasty weather we are expected to get this next 
week in the Rocky's.  It was a classic un-racer ride for the pleasure of 
riding, going 25 miles at 12 miles per hour.  Wearing my blue jeans and 
flannel shirt in between 45 and 50 degrees F.   It was a wonderful way to 
enjoy the last bit of nice weather before old man winter makes it a bit 
more of a challenge.

I recently built up a dyno front wheel and installed lights on my Homer. 
 This was my first trip beyond commuting with this set up.  I didn't really 
notice any drag.

Here are some pictures:
https://flic.kr/p/Nqnm3e
https://flic.kr/p/PAxtJb
https://flic.kr/p/P6fW1S

More musings..
As I get older, I more appreciate the natural cycles of summer and winter. 
 It is so much of what makes life interesting and helps remind us of how 
wonderful the world is when the spring returns and the world blooms 
renewed.  Winter is a time for rest and reading and learning.  That is why 
I am a little anti fat bike.  Take the winter and do something else, 
something different.  Go skiing, or snowshoeing.  Learn to play the guitar. 
 Then when spring returns, you can return to the bike with a passion 
renewed.

Scott

[RBW] Re: Long bikes

[Christopher Cote]

I may have identified a candidate. The Salsa Marrakesh, in "flat bar" flavor. 
The size large would fit me, and it has a 63cm top tube. It has a 1-1/8" 
threadless steerer, but adapters exist that would allow me to use the Nitto 
Bullmoose bars. It has disc brakes, which I like. It's $1600 for a complete, 
which is way more than I'd like to spend, but pretty reasonable for a complete 
bike these days. I'd swap out half the stock parts, so maybe a frameset is the 
way to go. With parts on hand, I'd be into it about $900. Hmmm...

[RBW] WTB - 110mm or 113mm BB Spindle.

[John Hawrylak]

WTB a 110mm or 113mm BB spindle for a Sugino XD-2 (from RBW) for use on a 
1988 Schwinn (Panasonic) Voyageur, having normal chainstays. 
Currently have a Biopace crank with a 121.5mm spindle.  Spindle width is 
excessive for the XD-2
Prefer not to change out existing and am OK with cup & cones.

Prefer a NOS or used (no galling, pits or marks on the races) 1970-1980's 
Shimano type

Thought I would try and shake the branches here and see if anything falls 
out.   Could always go with YST, but prefer the nice shiny finish.  RBW has 
a Specialized BB spindle, but only in 115 or 122mm.  The 115mm is a tad 
wider than I would like.

Re: [RBW] Re: Poor man's Rivendell Road/Roadeo substitute?

$600! That is nice, and it's affordable. My brother recently bought a Black
Mountain monster cross frameset (forget name) and that too is nice,
especially given that he paid half of what I paid for my Matthews, and that
Chauncey charged between half and 1/3 of what he should have charged.

Thanks for the tip. One more to seriously consider.

I recall one day, long long ago, when my nephew was 4 years old (he's now
25 or 26 and earning a lot more than I), taking him to KMart, and telling
him that he could choose *one* toy. He slowly walked up and down the action
figure car shelf, carefully considering each package, and murmured solemnly
to himself, "So many choices!"

[RBW] Roof-rack-riv-sighting in Hershey, PA

[Mark Wilkins]

Today (27 Nov), I stopped in at Troegs Brewing in Hershey to pick up a
special bourbon-barrel aged version of their Russian imperial stout.

Saw a Jetta wagon in the parking lot with a two Rivs on the rack: one
custom (I think), one Cheviot, both orange (!).

Anyway, I spent several minutes admiring both.  Hope you enjoyed the beer
at Troegs!

Re: [RBW] A plug to buy something from Rivendell Bicycle Works: A Nitto F-15 rack

[Ron Mc]

Finally had time and an overcast day to take photos of the Ruthworks F-15 
small rando bag that Ely made for me.  
I used a Cygo helmet mount to attach my headlight to the bottom of the bag, 
and it's very firm.  


  




  
   


Ely installed some velcro straps that help, but mostly, I made it solid by 
attaching M4s through the bag U-box.

Re: [RBW] Re: An un-obstructive front handle bar bag for boscos?

Hey Annie,   I dont have one,  but saw one yesterday and the Detours ' Rainier 
Handlebar duffle bag' looked really neat.   It has some well designed zippers/ 
pockets on the side and inside and it looks like it goes on/ off in a cinch; 
with 2 buckles that are adjustable.  The tan is a really nice color too.  Worth 
checking out.   -Mike

[RBW] Re: An un-obstructive front handle bar bag for boscos?

[anniebikes]

Nick, nice set up. I am an experienced bike tourer and in recent years I've 
gravitated towards the upfront loading firstly, then add rear baggage or 
only the tent when I need the extra space. The Clementine's weight is 
forcing me to consider exactly how much stuff I need to carry on future 
trips. I have not tried camping with her yet - that will come in 2017. I 
still prefer a very lightweight handle bar bag, something I can easily 
detach and bring with me.

Re: [RBW] Re: Poor man's Rivendell Road/Roadeo substitute?

[Patrick Moore]

Thanks for this, Bill. Actually, I haven't yet gotten to the "what do I
really want divided by what can I really afford" part of the equation,
though I look back and tearfully sniff with nostalgia at that 1973
Motobecane I got for about $75 shipped, about 2/3 of which was shipping
(eBay seller made up with shipping some of what he lost on my winning bid;
IIRC, I won the bid with $25 and paid the $50 for shipping; circa 2006-7 or
so).

Really, what I ought to do is spend say $200-$300 and have the gofast
modified and powdercoated so that it will take a rear brake and the trigger
shift apparatus for the AM; I don't really *want* another bike that is not
a custom or a bona fide Rivendell Road model, unless I can be sure that
whatever substitute it might be really does handle and feel like a
Rivendell, which is certainly a long shot.

My hand over hand buying and selling ended some years ago; I really don't
want more bikes; well, that's not true, but I am far more picky now than
before. (Let's turn this into a "So, what *other *bikes would you buy if
you could?" thread.)

But this will be a nice application to play with at this early pipe dream
stage.

Pari Motos are more easily cut and wear out at about 1,800 miles.  I get twice

[RBW] Re: An un-obstructive front handle bar bag for boscos?

[Nick Payne]

No, the Frame is a Litespeed Blue Ridge touring frame from the mid-1990s, 
not a Litespeed racing frame. It'll comfortably fit 40mm tyres plus 
mudguards, and the fork has about 20mm greater distance between axle and 
crown race seat than a Carbonomas, which is intended as a replacement fork 
for racing frames. The fork is Reynolds 531 that I had a local framebuilder 
make for me, and I then had a chrome plating business satin chrome it to 
match the Ti frame.

You can see somewhat better details of the fork in some of the photos here:
