[Thomas Lynn Skean]

Dreams must give way to time. Or to age. Or to energy.

Or they can become someone else’s dream!

all prices include shipping to contiguous 48

seatposts

S83 - definitely aluminum two-bolt; has clearly been used but is fully 
functional - $55
https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B11G9Gd2NGirscV


S65 - shorter, interestingly labeled single bolt; also used but fully 
functional  - $45
https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B11J5HumnGz2gO5



stems - all slightly used and quite useful; parenthetical numbers are 
compatible clamp diameter

Tallux 10cm - $40 (for 25.4mm bar)
https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B115cLqfNofU16


Dirt Drop 100 - $40 (for 26.0mm bar) (have 3 of these)
#1 - https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B11GLLXGLGbJQZa
#2 - https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B11GDZLe8GS4a8H
#3 - https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B11GqQrCLGHV77N


Dirt Drop-ish 80 -$35 (for 25.4mm bar)
https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B11GsCn7GGJdjV1



I can’t remember whether the 80 was actually called a Dirt Drop or was just 
sort of like one. It’s Nitto!

shipping to Alaska or Hawaii ask for a quote.

Yours,
Thomas Lynn Skean

[RBW] Re: Rivs with the Jones Loop/Bend H-Bar (Map/Ahearne too)

[Jonathan D.]

I was wondering if anyone else had any experience with the Jones bars on a 
Rivendell. I was considering building a Sam with the Jones bars (SG 2.5) or 
putting them on a BMC Monstercross. I would love hear impressions. Also I would 
be interested in purchasing a used pair if someone has one.

[RBW] Re: Billie Bars?

[scott minor]

I went from albatross to billies on my 60cm chev and now that I’ve ridden it 
for a couple months (road/path) have to say I prefer the roominess of the 
billies, and also the more angled hand position when back on the grips.  The 
billies put your hand/wrist less thumb-forward than the albas which works well 
for my and my fussy AC joints.  I also changed the stem from 11cm w albatross 
to 12cm w billies.   I do love albatross bars though, been riding them for more 
than a decade and will keep that cockpit for another bike someday.  I also went 
from bar-ends on the albas to stem shifters w the billies.  A local hunq rider 
friend likened the stem shifter setup to pre-ripped jeans, haha!  too funny.  i 
get it but the cleaner bars and ‘easy enough’ stem-shifting is working for me 
on this bike.  But mostly, being 6’4” (95 pbh) on a 60 chev, I’m enjoying the 
extra room of the billies!

[RBW] Re: Oh the humidity!

[Joe Gates]

This weekend in Georgia we had temperatures in the high 80s and humidity in the 
80 to 90% range (as I type this at 915 pm it is still 78 degrees with 87% 
humidity!). Of course, when I am riding in 50 degree weather in January you 
will not hear me complain!  You pick your poison i guess.

Yes, It’s not so bad. Nice breezes on the bike til 95F then over 100 the breeze 
feels hot.

But still not bad while moving.
Only bad when you stop. That’s when the sweat downpour starts pouring.

[RBW] Oh the humidity!

[Ryan M.]

I just checked weatherbug and it says our humidity level was 70% during my 
rideI sweat a lot. It did just get done raining and the temps are in the 
low 90s and humidity levels have been high all summer. Still, I think the 
number is high...well, that’s what I’m going with anyway.

I had to gag/smile at the difference between 5 and 15% humidity... Definitely

So long as your moving I find most heat and humidity to be bearable... So long 
as you're moving (by bike) I find just about all meterological conditions 
bearable if not fun...

[RBW] WTB: 650b X 48 tires

[ant ritchey]

Howdy folks!

Anyone out there got some Switchback Hills or Gravel Kings that they're not 
using? Or something similar?

Looking for something lightly used but open to hearing what you've got 
either way.

Wanna trade? I've got an M737 & M952 rear derailer, Nitto Big Front Rack, 
various Technomic Deluxe stems, Suntour Superbe Pro non-aero levers and 
maybe some other choice bits for tradin'.

Thanks,
Ant Ritchey in PDX OR

[RBW] Tubus Racks for sale

[Steve Butcher]

As my touring goals have changed, I'm offering sale the following:  Tubus 
Tara low rider front rack with mounting bolts and spacers and Tubus Cargo 
Evo rear rack with B battery powered rear light.  I purchased the racks 
from list members, mounted them on my bike, fitted then removed panniers, 
and have not used them for any touring.  The racks are in excellent, 
undamaged condition and have a few minor scuffs related to mounting and 
pannier fitting.  They have always been stored indoors.  An on-line 
supplier of Tubus racks lists a pair like this for approximately $210.00 
plus shipping.  The B rear rack light lists for $45.00 from RBW.  I want 
to sell the entire package for $160.00 plus shipping CONUS.  Paypal is 
preferred payment mode.  Please PM me off list with questions.  I have also 
listed this on i-BOB.  Thanks for looking.

Good job Joe.

It’s a great color.

FWIW, the Billie bar has a different grip angle than the Albatross. That

p.s.: I miss Durango summer nights, when throwing the windows open and

[RBW] Oh the humidity!

[Lum Gim Fong]

Dude, 20%?!?! Please!
You need to come over here into Maryand and ride out here in the real humidity, 
under the burning sun which will rip the hide off you.
Walk outside.
Does it feel like you are breathing soup?
Then you ain’t got no humidity!

[RBW] Oh the humidity!

[Patrick Moore]

I've been riding the newly washed and lubed (Molten Speed Wax!) 2003 Curt
after neglecting it for a while. We're about 1/3- to 1/2-way through our
fitful monsoon season (days of blazing sun interspersed with violent, 1/2
hour downpours with hail), and the humidity has soared into the mid- to
upper 20% range.

I got back from liturgy an hour ago: 95*F, 26% or 29% depending on the
website. Man! I don't understand how your back-easterners deal with it -- I
do recall how, living in Washington, DC -- miserable swamp in many more
ways than 1 -- how refreshing it felt in the late afternoon after the
humidity dropped to 30% from 85%+ in the morning.

I can attest that 100*F+ at 5% is very rideable weather, as long as you
drink enough. Boost that humidity to 15%, and it's a very different story.
Swamp coolers, very popular here, work poorly above 15% or 20%. I smugly
have refrigerated air.

Does anybody know when the Wavie Bars will be a realty? They could work too. 
Thanks for all the suggestions.

[RBW] Re: Billie Bars?

[Justin, Oakland]

I would also consider a sweep bar like the Jones (loop or no loop), MapAhearne 
or upcoming Wavvie (gravy?) bar. I find that my experience with the angle of 
Albatross grips is not conducive to the control I want when doing anything but 
upright cruising. This might not be your experience but is worth considering.

[RBW] Re: Billie Bars?

[Lester Lammers]

If you think Albas would work on the Trek ,IMHO, Billie's are an 
improvement. I have them on a MIT Atlantis and like them a lot. You do get 
two good hand positions and possibly three. If they don't work on the Trek 
put them on your Joe. You may need a longer stem with them on the JA. My 2 
cents.

[RBW] Re: Going out on the GAP Sunday and Monday

[Belopsky]

Very nice, it's a nice ride. I did this ride with my friends a few summers 
ago. We parked in this lot here in West Newtown, stayed in those houses in 
the background, and headed towards Cumberland. We had a shop in Cumberland 
drive us back.

[RBW] Going out on the GAP Sunday and Monday

[ascpgh]

I have to log my vacation choices more than a year ahead of time and this 
week was one of my picks, it just didn't mesh well with my wife's work, so 
I'm taking a solo jaunt south on the GAP to Cumberland.

I will be on the trail at the South Side by about 9:15. Lunch in West 
Newton, overnight in Ohiopyle.  Monday I'll ride to Cumberland, MD in time 
to ride Amtrak back to Pittsburgh. I'll clip on my lights and ride home 
from the station around midnight. 

Seemed like a lot of fun, Just have to finish my breakfast and coffee, 
print my reservations and head out. I'm on my orange Rambouillet, wave if 
your out there. Hopefully some good pictures to follow.
