I’ve cleared the 700x48 Soma supple vitesse tires with minimotos, but that was 
with all the spacers to the inside of the brake arms. Still worked ok, but ymmv.

Re: [RBW] Re: Flickstand alternatives? How to keep the front stable while not moving?

[Kiley Demond]

I favor the options that require going NOTHING additional at each time it
is called into use. Oops, forgot my water bottle. Am I going to pull out a
strap or a bungee to dash back in and grab it? No, and I bet you wouldn't
either; you would let your wheel flop over. And yet, that not happening was
the entire point.

I used to use the little bungee; it didn’t work consistently and I had to
make sure those sharp ends were adjusted away from painted surfaces. What a
PITA to do at the library, again at the P.O., the store, to stop while
talking to friends.

It seems one can do a complicated solution once or a simple thing over and
over and over. I suspect the former solution will appeal to commuters and
those with more stops, and the latter will appeal to those who ride long
distances for exercise and stop maybe once or twice. Wheel stabilizers are
common on Dutch work bikes and non-existent on cyclocross bikes.

Both solutions have merit and it is up to the rider to decide what works
for him or her and reserve judgment.

I know I can get it from Riv for $101+shipping right now -- but I'm not

pricey one.

[RBW] Atlantis maiden voyage

[Brent P]

Finished the final buildup details last night and couldn’t wait any longer. It 
was cool, cloudy and blustery winds, but felt good to get out and shake out any 
bugs and fine tune the settings. Frameset came from another member of the bunch 
and was in great (new) condition. Thankful for getting a dream bike sooner than 
I anticipated. But out of the gate and 8 miles later, this bike is amazing. 
Smooth, responsive, and FUN. It’s so much fun being on a bike that FITS and 
becomes an extension of you going down the road. 

I’ve been lurking around this group almost daily for many months - learning, 
researching, and getting tons of ideas. Thank you for this collection and 
sharing your practical bike knowledge!

[RBW] FS: Low Trail custom paint 61cm 700c Atlantis FF+CK headset - $1,800 shipped OBO

[René Sterental]

The time has come. I finally had some time to dissasemble the bike and am
posting the frame, custom low trail fork + original fork for sale. Included
is the Chris King headset with a drilled cable stop I was using to attach
the Berthoud decaleur so it wouldn't interfere with the height or type of
handlebar, plus a fork mounted cable stop for the cantilever brakes you'll
probably use.

Note: The custom low trail fork has a maximum tire size or 700x40 and 50mm
fenders. The original fork has a capacity of 50mm tires, I believe. Even
though the paint color is theoretically the same, it doesn't quite match
the new custom paint job I had done when the custom fork was made and
painted.

Keep scrolling for more detailed photos.

Photos of the Atlantis during its lifetime with me:

Other parts will be posted in time, when I have time to clean them nicely,
but if you're interested, contact me off-list.

I'll have the frame packed by my LBS and shipping will be via Bike Flights.

Let me know if you have any questions or other offers.

Re: [RBW] Re: Keven Sighting on Riv Instagram

Edwin,
I used to want a Fr8 so badly!  I spoke with J.C. Lind in Chicago several 
times about the WorkCycles line, which they carry.  (Also the Pilen Lyx 
which I really like.)  

WorkCycles also makes the Gr8 ... essentially a lighter weight version of 
the Fr8.  Workcycles makes awesome bikes!

[RBW] Re: Albastache Cockpit Tweaks

[Austin]

Short shakedown ride on the Sam is done--and oh man, I think I'm gonna like 
these bars! 

I haven't really settled on a default hand position, but nearly each 
position I tried felt quite natural. Given the continued wind, I 
streamlined myself in the curves in order to achieve a lower profile. And I 
learned why the brake hoods should angle up slightly--for use as another 
hand position. No real tweaks to make upon coming home--need a longer ride 
to test them out more.

I now get why so many of the RBW folks go all upright...

[RBW] Re: Flickstand alternatives? How to keep the front stable while not moving?

[Ian A]

Just to add to my comment of locking the front brake with a toe strap (this 
works for me as I can really cinch the brake closed hard). If one rests the 
now immobilized bike at the corner of the saddle against a lamp post, sign, 
rack etc., it is easy to clip on panniers, and put things in/take out of 
panniers, front bag etc. 

No stabilizer or flickstand etc is required in this scenario.

The locked brake method works incredibly well, is simple and if one has an 
old toe strap kicking around, free to try. I trim toe strap to length FWIW.

My older daughter was a catcher & after getting her first Nocona never used 
anything else.  Instant break-in & perfect performance.  Catchers go thru a 
lot of gloves; spendy but worth it.

OTH, I still have my Wilson Larry Sherry signature model that I got in 
elementary school.  Not being much of an athlete, I never wore it out.  Not

John,

Thanks for your interesting post about Gary Boulanger. He crafted some nice

Rivendell’s earlier years.

Lucky you for being acquainted with him!

[RBW] Re: Keven Sighting on Riv Instagram

[Paul Choi]

I tried the Billie bar on Saturday on the Atlantis demo. They have bring your 
hands back like the Bosco without the huge rise. Vince brought out the 
Albatross bars to compare.Just eyeballing them I would say that they bring the 
grips closer to you two inches mote than the Albatross. Bosco are 9 inches 
reach so Billie bar might be 8.81 inches? Again not precise measurements. They 
have the Billie bars on a 55 Appaloosa but it doesn't have a saddle yet. Go try 
them. I wanted to ask if I could buy a sample of the bars but didn't know if it 
was appropriate to ask. Better just to be patient.

I think handling is actually better if the rack is frame mounted.  Like on 
the WorkCycles Fr8

or the owner nor do I know whether the owner may be willing to ship.  With
that said, there is a 55cm Bleriot in the Seattle Craigslist.

Re: [RBW] Re: Flickstand alternatives? How to keep the front stable while not moving?

[Patrick Moore]

Thanks for this link, and for the warning about the VO stabilizer.
Reviewing all the possibilities, and reluctant to spend much $$ for a
device that, while apparently effective, clutters up the top tube, I think
I'll use a long toe strap or appropriately long velcro strap.

Re: [RBW] OT - Throwback

[Patrick Moore]

I recall the days of curved-top-tube cruisers and leather ball gloves; age
circa 7-8, and my cruiser was a JC Higgins with 24" wheels; a basement
model with no chrome: white bar and rims. But that bike was still at home
when I left at 18, and we'd all thrashed it, and it never, ever got any
maintenance. I think my glove was a department store glove, too, but I
recall loving the feel of the leather and the way it fit my hand during the
pickup games in the dirt lot across the street from our house.

Does anyone play baseball any more? In those days -- early '60s -- baseball
was, as far as I remember, *the* big sport, and we kids played it as a
matter of course -- no sissy softballs, either; always a "hardball". My
parents didn't buy us gum, but I recall other boys swapping the baseball
cards inserted in the packages.

Is baseball still a major sport? Do elementary school-age boys still play
baseball in vacant lots, as opposed to parent-dictated Little League and
company or church softball leagues?

[RBW] Keven Sighting on Riv Instagram

[Joe Bernard]

I love Keven's almost-a-cargo-Rivbike. I want one just like it with the rack no 
one can afford!

I guess I got the last cheapish barwrap job outta Grant. I won't say how much, 
but it definitely wasn't $120. Thanks, Grant!

It's interesting to see a Riv with a trigger shifter as an option. I've run a 
bunch of them on pullback bars and aside from no friction option - I don't 
care, I've never had a trigger give up and make me wish I could shift without 
the clicks - they're fabulous. Clickety click click!

[RBW] Re: Anyone using the Sinewave Beacon w/ an External Battery???

[Wally Estrella]

Sinewave had a booth at NAHBS with a nice set-up of the Beacon and battery 
packed.  It seemed to work well for the few flicks of the switch I was 
playing with.  Not that this helps, but as much info as I have for an 
answer.  

I had a Son 28 built up this past week.  I just need to order the Beacon 
soon.  I plan on using a battery as well, so will follow this thread or 
report back w/ my impressions once i have it set-up.

I love it. I really think there is a market for the L models with a setup to

I love my Joe as s kid hauler (though really appreciate how much fun it is 
without a 30 lb kid and a full shopsack). I think a Mountain Mixte would do 
great as well.

Really cool bike!  But what I want to know is "what is the Billie Bar" he 
refers to?  Is this  one of the new Riv-exclusive bars that have been in 
development and that they've been hinting at?  Or am I reading too much

[RBW] Re: Albastache Cockpit Tweaks

[Deacon Patrick]

Ha! In our wee mountain pass, it’s the confluence of multiple air streams, so 
we get lots of wind swirlies, in which tailwinds become headwinds and back 
again with neither rhyme nor reason all through the ride. Loads of dust 
bunnies. One part of the ride down the pass heading home felt more like 
climbing up the pass on a calm day, untill the wind shifted and launched me up 
the 30mph in 3.8 seconds. Grin. I love rides with extra adventure per mile!

With abandon,
Patrick

I have had two cargo bikes with this feature and love it for load hauling,

Would love to see how this bike turns out at the end: it looks like a fantastic 
project: versatile in terms of use and surface travelled.

Re: [RBW] Re: Keven Sighting on Riv Instagram

[Jeremy Tavan]

It's good. I've ridden cargo bikes/cycletrucks with frame-integrated racks 
that don't move with steerering, and that's how the Brompton works as well. 
It means you don't fight the moment of the load while steering, so steering 
is lighter and less floppy than it would be otherwise. The next bike I set 
up for heavy front loads will definitely be done this way.

['Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Funny, I guess Dia Compe was fairly loose with the designation Gran Compe. 
I have a set of 750s that have the regular Dia Compe arms, as opposed to 
the Mafac orientation. The calipers in this set have been on my Le Tour 
mixte, while the levers are on my Takara; planning to reunite the two on 
the Takara this spring. I know Bicycle Quarterly considers the Dia Compe 
inferior to the Mafac design, but I really like the old DC centerpulls.

[RBW] Keven Sighting on Riv Instagram

[Bill Lindsay]

Keven showed up yesterday on Rivs Instagram feed holding up a really 
interesting porteur mixte. I don’t know how to link to Instagram from my phone, 
particularly for those of you who aren’t on Instagram. Suffice it to say, is is 
a mixte, with two skinny top tubes that go to the rear triangle. Those mixte 
tubes have a lng continuous circular bend to them, and there’s a
Brakes on permanent front rack on the head tube. It’s got long chainstays. 
APPROVE

[RBW] Re: Albastache Cockpit Tweaks

[Austin]

Like a visit from my in-laws or leftover fish. After 3 days, it really 
starts to stink.

Still blowing 20mph here...

How is that Nor’easter, Austin?

With abandon,

Re: [RBW] Re: Flickstand alternatives? How to keep the front stable while not moving?

[Julian Westerhout]

This looks like a very solid option (albeit rather costly):   The 
SteerStopper --- https://steerstopper.com

Patrick -- this would be the ticket for preventing flops with heavy front 
loads -- in my experience the VO spring stabilizer will not do that very 
well with over 10 lb. loads.

[RBW] OT - Throwback

[MartyG]

Years ago, not sure when, Grant introduced me (and whoever was around then) 
to a company called Nocona - a Texas company that makes ball gloves. Might 
have been an early reader article. Such a cool story, and they are alive 
and well today. Good for them! I don't have one. Yet. But years ago a 
leather glove hanging from my bars was an everyday thing. 



Go Nocona!

[RBW] Re: Albastache Cockpit Tweaks

[Austin]

Albastache bars arrived and are on the Sam! I hope to get a shakedown ride 
in today if the wind here in MD ever starts to subside.

Based on the internet research I've done (most of it redirecting to this 
group), I think I've got a solid starting point on positioning.

   - Positioned the brake levers just where the bar starts to straighten 
   out--this seemed to be most common and the way Riv sets them up in photos I 
   found.
   - Brake lever hoods are 15.5mm (6.1") from each other on the Albastache 
   (more than the original moustache bars, but they have different geometry). 
   I never could fine this distance on the interwebs for the Albastache so 
   here's a baseline :-) 
   - I read somewhere that the brakes should angle up slightly--this feels 
   a bit awkward when I did a couple short circles on the road. Shakedown ride 
   will reveal more.
   - Bar is on my 90mm stem, and positioned higher than I ran the Noodles 
   with the same stem (level with saddle). Seems to be okay.
   - Albastache mounted so that the interior section of the bar is parallel 
   with the top of the stem. Again, just like Riv's product photo.
   
Couple quick n' dirty photos:
