Yes, pics please.

I am in SoCal too, so I might want to try and check it out in person if 
possible [if it hasn't already been sold].

Thanks,

Here's my new Crust Lightning Bolt via Analog. The only Riv content - besides

wanted to show it off here anyway cuz I'm a Riv guy!

Yes, it looks like my V-O Milan Bar, which has a forward curve but no rise.

I agree they look good.  For those wanting to see rise, to my eye they 
looked completely planar, like a wide Jitensha bar, as others pointed out.  
The place they put your hands remind me of where the original bullmoose 
bars put your hands, but maybe even wider.  They pull your hands back to 
where they are about even with the stem bolt.

It looks similar to another bar I ruled out for various reasons but if this 
is not a bar that is already out there under another name, it may be 
different enough to consider.

The idea of riding through the night and napping in random places makes the

It’s like a Rivendell Mary bar.

Thanks for posting, Bob!  Guessing that's a 90 or 100 stem.  Most obvious 
comparison is likely the largest Ahearne+Map bar at 610 wide and a 25mm 
rise.  It appears the wavie has some rise to it, too.  Looks like the wavie 
will have more room for shifting your hands around, compared to A+M.  
Thinking about an alternate bar for the Atlantis, and this might be it.

After hearing about the upcoming Wavie handlebars from Bill Lindsay in this

I took his suggestion to ask Riv if they would send some photos ahead of

Re: [RBW] Re: Long Rides to Nowhere: promotional video by SFR

[Bill Lindsay]

If you have a local RUSA chapter, you should check out the riders at the 
start (or the finish) of these events.  I think it would be a lot less 
intimidating to see the kinds of specimens that can do these events.  It's 
all about preparation and being prepared.  Whatever distance you can ride 
comfortably, you can push yourself to ride twice that far.  If you can ride 
20 miles comfortably, you can ride 40 miles.  Do that a few times until you 
can ride 40 miles comfortably.  Repeat that until you can bump up to 80 
miles comfortably.  Once you can do that, you are totally ready to ride 
your first 200k brevet.

[RBW] Re: ROADINI

28mm Soma Vitesse.  It's a tight fit for the fender/brake combo, but so far 
so good.

Good point. I've never heard anybody call flatbar stuff "brifters", but it 
could apply.

[RBW] Re: WTB 3 x 9 brifters

[Peter Adler]

That depends on whether Neil's looking for road/drop-bar brifters or 
mountain/flatbar brifters. A Travel Agent converter will adapt short-pull 
road levers to long-pull V-brakes. They're clunky looking, but they work; 
you can probably find a pair for under $20.

Alternately, if Neil's interested in flatbar brifters, I've got a set or 
two of Shimano XT 3x9 brifters (BR-M760) that I'm never going to use, and 
would be more than willing to sell.

[jack loudon]

Thanks for sharing this, Bill.  It's beautiful country, hard to believe 
it's so close to millions of people.  I have ridden some of these roads, 
but in shorter stretches and slower speeds than the randonneurs.  A few 
roads are truly remote, with no cell service and sometimes not a single 
person or vehicle for hours.  I ride by myself, and sometimes it's a bit 
unnerving, but I always go back for more.

[RBW] FS Chem H 52cm - $900

[Alan H]

Hi all,

I'd like to sell my Chem H, size 52 in mustard yellow. The bike is in 
like-new condition with less than 200 miles on it. Turns out that with my 
short legs (80-cm PBH) I don't have enough 'clearance' for my taste. I want 
to replace it with a 45, but first this one has to go. I'm selling it 
stock, complete for $900. My short legs are your gain. I have the original 
pedals and seat and will include them if you want them. The original grips 
are gone. 

Local pickup in SoCal is preferred, but I can arrange to have it shipped by 
a LBS if you're willing to pony up the extra dough. Thanks for you 
consideration!

Alan

[RBW] Re: Prague to Paris route help

[Harald Kliems]

I'd be cautious about relying on Google Maps in Europe. Their data quality 
is much worse than it is in the US. OpenStreetMap, on the other hand, is 
generally much better. So you could use something like OpenRouteService to 
plot a route (note that there is a limit in how long a route you can plan). 
Prague to Nuremberg: 
https://maps.openrouteservice.org/directions?n1=49.758021&n2=12.770464&n3=9&a=50.06694,14.460249,49.446007,11.07977&b=1d&c=0&g1=-1&g2=0&h2=3&k1=en-US&k2=km

[RBW] Re: Long Rides to Nowhere: promotional video by SFR

[Harald Kliems]

Last spring I rode part of the 600k route in cyclotouriste mode over 
several days. And yeah, there were many times when I was thinking, "And 
there are people who can ride all this in 40 hours???" It's a really 
beautiful route, though, and I can highly recommend it for a bike touring 
trip. Just make sure to have lower gears than I did :)
You can find ride reports with lots of pictures for the first 4 days on my 
blog: http://ride-or-pie.blogspot.com/p/touring.html

[RBW] Re: Slightly OT: "How a bicycle is made."

[Bob Lovejoy]

Hi Brian,

I did re-listen to those podcasts and will warn they are a little dry 
unless the history of things, most especially bicycles, is of true 
interest.  They comprise almost entirely of an interview with Tony Hadland, 
the knower and keeper of much history.  I enjoyed them (again!) but there 
were a lot of names and developments to keep track of.  Also, be warned 
that to have the rise and fall and history of such a great marque presented 
in an hour or so of listening can be a little disconcerting.

That said, the intro to the program came straight out of the video so a 
good segue...

I remember there was at least one edition of "The Bike Show" where Jack 
biked through the old Raleigh grounds with someone who knew of all the old 
buildings and  such.  It was great fun listening 

Bob

Cool video and thanks for sharing!  I saved the link after you posted and 
finally went back to watch it early this morning while having my morning 
cup of coffee.  I always wondered why we called them bottom brackets and 
now it makes much more sense to me.  Even though it makes clear the error 
in referring to modern cartridge bearing assemblies as "bottom brackets" in 
and of themselves I better understand the generalization that has been 
adopted.

I also found it interesting how the bars and stem were shaped and finished 
in unison and the way the frames were dip-brazed in the furnace.  I kind of 
wish they went into more detail showing complete fork construction, however.

I'll need to listen to those Bike Show podcasts soon.  Thanks for adding
