Someone posted on this forum a picture of him going up a 30% grade in the big 
ring. So I think most of the LCG pictures are going to be in creek beds and 
off-road type stuff.

[RBW] Weekend trip: PDX - Astoria - Tillamook

2017-10-08 Thread Ty Graham

I took a quick ride out to Astoria from Portland, then down 101 to 
Tillamook.

I rode My Atlantis and stayed in motels.

Here are a few 
photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/13233995@N08/albums/72157687733566283

I took the Banks Vernonia trail, then 47, then 202 to Astoria route. Listed 
here: https://www.portlandoregon.gov/transportation/article/301633
I like this route. Traffic was quite light on the second day from Vernonia 
to Astoria. I basically saw a log truck every 10 minutes and that was about 
it.
Riding from the Hillsboro MAX (light rail) station to Banks was on flat and 
lightly traveled farm roads. From Banks onward I rode a very nice rail 
trail with a gentle climb of ~1,000 feet.
Temperature was over 90; I was glad for the tree cover on the trail. I 
stayed overnight at the Carpenter's House BnB in Vernonia which was fine, 
but not great.
I woke to the sound of log trucks on a wet road. It was hard to get moving.
Services are really limited for 50 miles from Vernonia to Olney. I packed a 
ton of water. So, of course, the rain was steady for the first 3 hours.
Pretty flat for 32 miles and then a climb up to 1300 feet at Mile 40. The 
rain had stopped by then, but I was quite damp. Enough to get chilled by a 
fun 8 mile downhill run to Olney.
There's a store with seating in Olney. I was glad for the chance to warm up.
The PDX Transportation map has you drop on to Young's River Road at Olney 
for a less traveled, more scenic route. It does seem to add about 7 miles, 
though. Not sure I'd take that longcut again.
There was no T-Mobile service until well after I left Olney. That is no 
cell service at all for 50 miles. Something to know.
The run into Astoria ends up being the reverse of the Adventure Cycling 
route from Astoria to Seaside. I was familiar. It was cool to see the 
column from the reverse side as I rode into town and know I was nearly 
there.

I stayed at the Norblad Hotel, where I've stayed before. They have a funky 
vibe, nearby brewpub and coffee, and bike storage in the basement. Works 
for me.

Next day, I rode Astoria to Rockaway Beach pretty much straight down 101. 
Bypassing the Lewis and Clark route espouse by the AC maps. Did that last 
time.
The Arch Cape tunnel after Cannon Beach does not really get easier after 
you ride it once. It's still nerve wracking. Only takes a couple of 
minutes, but man, sure every minute that some RV is going to plow into you 
from behind.
After the Tunnel there's just a climb to just before Manzanita, then a nice 
long downhill. Like 50mph downhill. Nice.
I had a 16mph tailwind for the last 10 miles, Mazanita to Rockaway.
I literally put in the earbuds, put Ramones Rockaway Beach on repeat, got 
on the drops, and time trialled all the way in.

More later: got to run.

The paper calendar, the product for sale, has the photos properly oriented.
I don't know why the samples are cockeyed.

I don't think Jobst ever walked, despite his by normal standards huge
bottom gears.

What is ESV? Google says it means English Standard Version, referring to
the Bible.

Ad says that it is lightest tubing for Rivbikes.

Lighter than Roadeo?

Also says not designed for front bag.
Does this mean because no braze ons? Or the fork is not strong enough for 
front loading? Even rando bag?

Just curious. Thanks for the info.

[RBW] I think I have the 98th Atlantis. Does anyone remember what was cool?

2017-10-08 Thread drew
Cool. I have 37 or 47 or something in that range. It lives out of state, so I 
can't double check. Mine has passed through many hands of people on this list, 
but still rides perfectly.

The number 2 is on all atlanti as a reference to the Bridgestone Atlantis, I 
believe. 

I did some reading when I got it. The chainstays are different. Slight s 
curves, not straight. There was something about toyo being able to bend the 
stays and also make them stronger. I can't remember what the tubing is. Kasei 
maybe?

Hello,

I have a set of 44cm Noodles and a 9cm Technomic stem for a project that 
never happened. Both are brand new, never installed and are still in the 
packaging. Asking $70 shipped CONUS. I also have two King Iris cages that I 
can include for $15. So $85 shipped for the bars, stem, and two King Iris 
cages. 

Cheers!

[RBW] Re: Rosco Bubbe step through now configured for winter

2017-10-08 Thread Bill Lindsay




Since I had the spare minutes to enjoy another cup of coffee and listen to 
the NFL pre-game show on the radio, I went ahead and threw on the rear rack 
and mocked up a fully loaded cargo configuration on my Rosco Bubbe step 
through.  The bags are all empty except the Relevate frame bag, which 
contains my solo tent.  



Front panniers: Ostrich

Rear panniers: Carradice

Sackville grid gray bar tube

Sackville shop sack medium sapphire

Sackville Saddlesack Large olive
Relevate frame bag



The frame bag definitely makes the standover height much more like a 
standard bike, but with just a tent inside and with my kind of wide Q 
Mountain bike double crankset, there is no knee rub issue.  That's what Jay 
was asking about.

Hi George- I was able to get the bridge from Modern Bike for less than
