Re: [RBW] Re: 29 x 2.3-2.5 Knobby Tire & Rim Recommendations for Clem.

[Tony DeFilippo]

Deacon Patrick - Can you expand on your preference against wider rims?  At 
what width (or weight) are you seeing diminishing returns?  What rims are 
you running your Thunder Burts and Stielicooms?  I've weighed going wider 
on my Saluki rims, currently sitting with A23's but I've got a pair of 
cliffhanger rims hanging in the garage.

Regarding the OP question, I'm running cliffhangers with Schwable Big Ones 
tubeless on my wife's Clementine (52cm) and they max out the chainstay 
clearance... I'll post a picture and measurements later.  They are quite 
comfy though.

Re: [RBW] Re: 29 x 2.3-2.5 Knobby Tire & Rim Recommendations for Clem.

[Deacon Patrick]

I’m fine with wider rims, Tony. My hunqapillar will have Cliffhanger rear and 
Atlas front, QB has NoBS rims. For the riding I do, I consider a hearty rim 
essential, and wider rims maximize tire suppleness. I shifted my QB from 719s 
to the NoBS without noticable change (but the big change then was to fixed, so 
changes may have been swallowed in that). 

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] FS: $10 Willow Chainrings through Sunday. Proceeds to Hail Mary.

[David B]

Thanks everyone. With my own contribution via a parts purchase and the funds 
raised through chainrings, about $600 was sent Riv’s way. 
Thanks again,

[RBW] Re: Unsafe helmets

[Surlyprof]

Trying not to get political but I was disappointed to see Blackburn on this 
list as well.  The founders of Blackburn and Giro (Jim Blackburn and Jim 
Gentes) both graduated from our design program and started companies to 
help cyclists stay safe, be more comfortable and enjoy cycling more than 
they could before they started those companies.  Both men are truly genuine 
and fantastic people who often come back and tell their business stories to 
our students.  Both are retired and their companies have been sold to these 
larger corporations.  I fear that this is the kind of thing that can happen 
to the principles of any company as they are bought and taken over by 
larger companies.  I'm glad to see Grant work so hard to maintain 
Rivendell's soul and principles when it is suffering its various financial 
challenges through the years.  He's probably been approached with offers 
before and turned them down.  Blackburn racks transitioned me into bike 
commuting 25 years ago and I've owned mostly Giro helmets because they are 
well designed and fit me best.  However, as a teacher whose fear is 
heightened with every school shooting, I have to say that I vote with my 
dollars.  I will probably be looking for a different brand of helmet in the 
future and buying a Hail Mary from Riv even though I really can't afford it 
and don't really need anything now.

Thank you for posting the articles Michael and Jonathan.  It was good 
information to know.
John

[RBW] Re: Sam Hillborne Reimagined

[Surlyprof]

Beautiful reimagining of your Hillborne, Tim.  Mine is set up similarly but 
I still love that blue and cream color scheme the best.  The bicycle looks 
so classy with the blue and tan accents and I've always loved the double 
tt.   Barlow Pass tires on a Sam are fantastic.  It feels like your gliding 
more than riding.

Enjoy those spring and summer rides.

['Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch]

That is one very handsome bicycle. I see why the Appaloosa is Grant's 
favorite--ready for anything and looking fabulous doing it. Thumbs up too, 
for the Riv Pletscher rack, a work of industrial beauty and function. And 
that happy skies blue...

That is so great you did that David.  I like the way you think... and do.

If I can get organized, I may use your effort as an example, selling some 
things and then send the money off to Rivendell for even more experiments, 
present and future.

Thanks again for doing what you do and did...!

[RBW] Re: WTB or recommendations for SS/1x crankset, 650b tires

[Coal Bee Rye Anne]

VO has a 1x version of their Grand Cru crank (165 or 170 lengths) with 
110bcd and comes with a 44t ring and a more digestible cost than some of 
the others I had looked at (including WI and Paul which were on my wishlist 
but well above budget.)

I ended up just using already available 110bcd doubles as singles for cost 
reasons.  I also scored a 130bcd Dura Ace double 172.5 with 39/49 rings as 
part of a larger trade that is now in use as a 39t single with chainring 
bolt spacers taking up the space of the outer 49t.  Not as clean looking as 
a dedicated 1x crank but cost nothing extra and was a perfect fit on my 
existing 113 bb.

[RBW] Sam Hillborne Reimagined

Beautifully executed. Reimagining an old bike satisfies in a different way than 
buying a new bike. They’re both fun!

If I was in the market for a used 59cm Hilsen, I would give serious 
consideration to a NEW 55cm canti-Hillborne.  The used Hilsen might be 
fancier, I'll grant.

[RBW] Un-Un-Racing update: A Race!

[Bill Lindsay]

The Racing season for Norcal High School League has begun.  Our first race 
was last weekend.  Some of you will remember I'm the Team Mechanic and an 
Assistant Coach for El Cerrito High School. Last year we placed 2nd in 
league (Norcal, Southern Conference, D1), behind perennial powerhouse 
Salinas, but ahead of local rivals Albany and Berkeley.  This race was down 
in Fort Ord (near Monterey).  We drove down Friday, pre-rode the course, 
and had a team pot-luck in the hotel parking lot.  Saturday was race day.  

I had several highlights:

Both my kids came with me (17 and 14) and both said they'd do it again.  My 
17 year old put a lap down on the race course.
I finally got to use my epic toolboard that I was showing off last Fall.  
It's better equipped than my own workbench.  
Our own MH was 2nd in every race last year, 2nd to MG every race.  She 
leapfrogged over Sophomore into JV Girls, and WON.  MG was 2nd and she was 
not happy
Brand new rider, Sophomore girl MW started from basically zero in 
pre-season.  We must have worked her hard because she won off the front in 
her Soph Girls race. 
Our most promising Freshman boy EN, crashed during pre-ride, banged up his 
shoulder, and couldn't pull on the handlebars at all.  He dug deep and got 
3rd in Freshman Boys anyhow
Our stars, twin brothers MG and EG, raced Varsity for the first time 
against some unbelievable competition, and placed 4th and 7th

We frantically were estimating the scoring for the team totals (top 8 
finishers) and it was clear we were top-4, but we weren't sure our place.  
At the podium, they gave trophies to the top-3.  Third PlaceAlbany.  
Second PlaceSalinas!  Our hearts were in our throats.  First 
Place.Berkeley.  Dangit!  

Next morning, I log into the Norcal website to see how close it 
was...CORRECTION!  They had a math error!  The official results went 1. 
Salinas, 2. El Cerrito, 3. Berkeley.  Order was restored.  I'm not sure 
when or how we'll retrieve our trophy, but who cares.  It was particularly 
gratifying to place that well, because even though this was our largest 
field of racers ever, with 20 riders, Salinas had 41, and Berkeley had 64 
racers.  We have a feasible plan to reel in Salinas, potentially in the 
next race on March 10th.  

There is no real Riv-content here, but some RBW Group Members did donate 
generously to help purchase our trailer last year, so I hope you enjoy 
updates from time to time.  Other potential Riv content is that the March 
10th racecourse overlooks Laguna Seca Raceway, and I'll be camping there 
the night before, with coffee outside and lots of various Riv campgear.

[RBW] Analog Cycles w(Right) stem write up

[James / Analog Cycles]

Hey Gang, James from Analog Cycles, formerly the Co-Owner at Gravel & Grind 
here.  We have some interesting projects in the works that are highly Riv 
oriented.  Hope you'll take the time to check them out.  Also: for right 
now, we're the DC area Rivendell dealer.  Wanna get a Riv?  We'll set you 
up.  We have a few Chev frames and Roadini frames in stock, and we can get 
ya whatever Rivendell has, and save you the shipping + help with build outs 
and fitting.  In late spring, we're moving Analog to Vermont, but we're in 
Frederick for a few more months!


We have a new entry up on the Analog journal: w(Right) Stem Write Up  
which details our recent stem project.




It's about super short reach stems, the benefits, the history and the 
future.  We've been riding the prototypes for a while, but they're about to 
go into low scale production.  Check it out when ya get a sec.

[RBW] Ode to Grampa / My Atlantis

[ant ritchey]

A bit of snow laid on down last night. Today's sun rose to reveal a good 
bit still holding on. The day itself promised to be a fine one, perfect 
even- sunny, crisp-cold...and no work!

My grandfather was a boilermaker & steelworker in Pittsburgh, PA, my 
homelands. Today is his birthday; the 15th we celebrate without him with us 
here on Earth.  He's often a part of my thoughts while riding, but today is 
special for obvious reasons. I mention this and him for this reason: So 
much of what I think the general RBW school of thought embodies has a lot 
to do, philosophically and/or historically, with strength and simplicity, 
of both animate and not, and most certainly certain folk from his time; 
tough as nails while still being as sweet as pie. I'm grateful for it, 
grateful for it all. The bicycle has brought more good to my life than any 
other non-living thing. RBW/Grant and everyone from this camp I've met 
along the way are a benchmark of highest order & this bicycle, my '04 Toyo 
Atlantis, is the functional symbol of it all & a reminder of these 
coinciding legacies every single day of my life. He'd be proud of me and 
all of us atop our cherished works of the steel stuffs.

A guy walking his dog down the snowy path (presumably eyeing the big Wald) 
jokes to me as I pass: "Man! You take your paper route seriously!"

Enough with my run-on sentences. Without further ado, a few pics of a bike:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11axhHQ1gfvpA8BfxMlopjY3gvzgd9DJz?usp=sharing

POST SCRIPT:
-I thought I posted this a week ago today and here I stumble upon this open 
tab and an unpublished draft!
-Pics looked a lot lighter from my phone...now they appear somewhat dark on 
my computer screen. Apologies if these look crappy! It's the thought/homage 
that counts!

[RBW] Re: Analog Cycles w(Right) stem write up

[Ben Miller]

James,

Cool (w)rite up man. I like the history and thought that went into them. 
Might take a bit getting used to the stubby look, but it does have a 
certain appeal to it. And, I love that it's a removable faceplate. To me 
this is the single biggest drawback to quill stems and why??? (I know some 
other quill stems are made with faceplates, but don't look that nice...)

I might have to take some measurements and see if they'd work with any of 
my current bikes. Although I think the Crust Scapegoat that you guys built 
for me would totally work, if I can ever get my hands on a set of 
Bene's/Crust's Leather bars. Maybe the threadless version will be out by 
the time they release the next version of the leather bars!

Also, sorry to hear that you guys are leaving MD, but stoked you're going 
to my home state of VT! Best of luck with the move!

Ben

[RBW] S&S coupled Rivendell?

[Bob Lovejoy]

I am not claiming it to be a reasonable, recommended, or even worthwhile 
choice, not even, but I have become curious...

Has anyone had their Riv frame retrofitted with S&S couplers before taking 
delivery, the same kind of scenario as someone having a frame repainted 
before delivery?  I am curious if Rivendell has someone they work with on 
such things and if anyone has had that done.  Certainly shipping the frame 
off to Bilenky or someone would be an option but adds even more cost to 
something already expensive.

Anyway, just curious if anyone had gone that route directly through 
Rivendell.  I might call them just to see but I know too they are busy, way 
too busy for hypothetical, somewhat crazy, probably not going to happen, 
questions.

All help appreciated,

Bob Lovejoy
Galesburg, IL

[RBW] Custom frames sold out

[Chris Birkenmaier]

Been visiting the Riv website often with the recent shopping initiative and 
noticed that custom frames are listed as sold out. Saw this a few days back so 
it’s not new. Any reason why a custom could not be ordered via the site or am I 
missing something?  As an aside I wasn’t looking to order a custom - simply 
noticed it

Bob,

Rivendell can do it! I looked at buying a used frame on the list versus a 
new one built with couplers. I talked to Vince about it a few months ago.

[RBW] Custom frames sold out

[Coal Bee Rye Anne]

all Waterford made models showed the same last I was on the frames page.. I’m 
guessing this is to prevent anyone ordering made to order models directly 
through the site.  They seem to prefer personal contact with arranging those 
anyway.

[RBW] Re: Custom frames sold out

[Chris Birkenmaier]

I would think a comment to call Riv directly might work better than a "sold 
out" notation.  Custom builders that I have seen often have a place to put 
in a deposit online and then a follow up with the builder for specific 
specs.  Just struck me as odd but perhaps it is not.

[Joe Bernard]

The Hunqapillar is listed as sold out, too. Yes, this is odd.

Subject: [RBW] Ode to Grampa / My Atlantis

A bit of snow laid on down last night. Today's sun rose to reveal a good bit still holding on. The day itself promised to be a fine one, perfect even- sunny, crisp-cold...and no work!My grandfather was a boilermaker & steelworker in Pittsburgh, PA, my homelands. Today is his birthday; the 15th we celebrate without him with us here on Earth.  He's often a part of my thoughts while riding, but today is special for obvious reasons. I mention this and him for this reason: So much of what I think the general RBW school of thought embodies has a lot to do, philosophically and/or historically, with strength and simplicity, of both animate and not, and most certainly certain folk from his time; tough as nails while still being as sweet as pie. I'm grateful for it, grateful for it all. The bicycle has brought more good to my life than any other non-living thing. RBW/Grant and everyone from this camp I've met along the way are a benchmark of highest order & this bicycle, my '04 Toyo Atlantis, is the functional symbol of it all & a reminder of these coinciding legacies every single day of my life. He'd be proud of me and all of us atop our cherished works of the steel stuffs.A guy walking his dog down the snowy path (presumably eyeing the big Wald) jokes to me as I pass: "Man! You take your paper route seriously!"Enough with my run-on sentences. Without further ado, a few pics of a bike:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11axhHQ1gfvpA8BfxMlopjY3gvzgd9DJz?usp=sharingPOST SCRIPT:-I thought I posted this a week ago today and here I stumble upon this open tab and an unpublished draft!-Pics looked a lot lighter from my phone...now they appear somewhat dark on my computer screen.

[RBW] Re: Analog Cycles w(Right) stem write up

[Tony DeFilippo]

I'm looking forward to being with early adopter on the zero stem for my Saluki! 
 Discussing bike fit on Riv style bikes with James is enlightening.  We'll see 
where it goes and I'll share some pictures and impressions once it gets in.

 "Man! You take your paper route seriously!"

That's a great thought; love it.  And the thoughts are just as relevant 
today as when you first wrote the draft.

Maybe better than "Sold Out" would be "Contact Us".

[RBW] Re: Rambouillet in San Diego

[nick f]

Hi everyone!! this is my bike for sale!! I bought the bike as a frame only. 
I promptly called rivendell to get a replacement fork. Upon talking to 
Mark, he informed me that no current riv model had a fork close to the ram 
(this may have changed with the roadini but the roadeo was a poor fit)... 
And I really didn't feel like spending  on a custom color matched 
replacement, so Mark kindly gave me all the specs of the original ram fork 
and kindly sent me on my way. 

Moral of the story. Its a nice lugged steel tange fork, that shares the 
same specs as the oem rambouillet fork, that should be painted a color 
other than black...I got it through Soma fab

P.s. Dropped it to $800! Im moving soon, and unfortunately this beauty 
cannot make the journey with me!

this bike deserves a good home

Great bike and someone needs to buy it. I can’t justify two.

[RBW] Re: Custom frames sold out

I feel like they said they weren’t doing Waterford made to order bikes for a 
while due to true temper discontinuing their bike tubing and long wait times at 
Waterford. I could be wrong.
