Re: [RBW] Re: Grant's BLAHG: Gus Boots update: headbadge, etc.

Good catch Joe.
The tires looks bigger than 2.25” in the picture.
I wonder what size is the Gus Boots in the picture?

You buy a new bike every time your brake pads wear out?  That's silly.

only if you don't maintain the bike properly by adjusting the pads as
they wear rather than just taking up tension on the cable

Excited about the GUS. Especially the filet brazed version. Not sure if I 
will be able to afford one though. Is the difference between filet brazed 
and TIG'ed more than aesthetic? More excited about how the new shifters are 
coming along. I imagine I will get two sets when they become available. 
Thumbies on my Appaloosa and bar ends on my Roadini. They look really nice 
to me.

[RBW] Re: Alternatives to lift-a-tube

[Erik Wright]

I thought I'd jump back in about a month later to update with what I came 
up with. I had a DIY lift a tube in the back of my mind these past few 
weeks, and last week went to a hardware store for some lightbulbs and 
decided to stand around in there looking for things I could use to make a 
lift-a-tube. Well, a 90 degree PVC corner thing and some clamp-y things 
turned out to do the trick, and I now have a lift-a-tube. The usefulness is 
out of this world. I might just have to make one of these for all of my 
bikes!

[RBW] Potential Trade: 56cm Toyo Atlantis for something taller

[David B]

Backstory:
I've been encouraging a friend over the past several years to get into 
cycling from a "Just Ride" perspective, and have helped source, then 
trade/sell frames as he figured out what he likes. He picked up a 56cm Toyo 
Atlantis a few years back after trying out a Clockwork custom frame we 
bought used - the Clockwork was a gateway to wanting something with larger 
tire capacity, but also something lugged, and with gears (Clockwork was a 
single speed). I believe that Clockwork frame went to someone on this list. 
He has since moved out of town to central Illinois, and riding 
significantly less, and wants to part ways with the Atlantis. Since I took 
a large chunk of time putting together the build for him, we're trying to 
figure out a way for me to get parts back and such, and is offering the 
frame/bike to me at a reasonable price considering my time investment.
However... a 56cm frame is several sizes too small for me. So I'm 
considering my options and whether I should suggest he try it sell the 
complete bike to someone else or not.

My main point of all of this is to see if there's a potential trade out 
there for the frameset.
It'd be...
Rivendell Atlantis - Toyo built, 56cm, takes 26"/559mm wheels
for
Another Rivendell of some sort, but in the range of 60cm-66cm size (my pbh 
is ~93cm)

Any potential trades out there? Feel free to contact me offlist.
Thanks,
David

[RBW] Canti-Chev?

They should do that. I had a Cheviot..great bike, but its vibe is very much

Re: [RBW] Re: Carradice style saddlebag advice for 51cm Roadini?

[Patrick Moore]

The Carradice canvas is still pretty thick and stiff, at least those I've
recently bought (though, warning, that of the Junior I just received is not
as nice as that of the Nelson LF and Camper LF I got earlier this year or
late last year. But still, using the Jr and the SQR, even a big lock won't
make it sag as much as the more supple fabric of the Cartwright bags.

And, you can always insert a stiffener.

But there are always the Bagman support and the "Classic" support, which
seems even better than the Bagman, though it requires more vertical room
than the SQR, *and* saddle loops:
https://www.carradice.co.uk/products/saddle-fixing-systems/carradice-classic-saddlebag-rack
.

I've have preferred one of these if I used saddle with the loops.

[RBW] PSA: 20% Discount on Cheviot Presale Frames

[John Buglino]

Love mine!  Totally agree with Will's BLUG post, easily one of my favorite 
bikes ever!  So versatile, and for me the ease of shouldering under the saddle 
for stairs is much appreciated.

Re: [RBW] Re: Alternatives to lift-a-tube

[Patrick Moore]

Clever! Though, if the bike were a Rivendell, I'd want something
classier-looking. I'll be you could with reasonable ease, some thickish
leather strapping, and pop rivets, come up with something equal in
aesthetic effect to a Riv frame.

BUT! I'd not add something like this unless I had regularly to carry my
bike up flights of stairs, or onto public transportation.

Me, I am blessed with a 2-car garage and no car (my daughter, mostly with
her mother, drives my car; I just pay for it), so I don't need to carry
bikes very often. But back when I lived in a second-floor apartment, I
hoisted them with my right arm, grasping them mid-seat-tube just above the
st bottle cage, and carry them front-wheel-down, supporting the weight on
my right arm. I tried this just now with the 30-lb Matthews with very short
(17" c-c?) st, and it works a treat.

Re: [RBW] Re: Alternatives to lift-a-tube

[Patrick Moore]

To be more clear: Grab seat tube just above bottle cage with right hand,
hoist bike, front wheel hanging down, to shoulder level, so that your arm
forms a very tight "L" bed, with fist just forward of your shoulder. Climb
your stairs.

[RBW] N+3 🤦🏻‍♂️

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Rode less this past calendar year than any other during the last decade 
(following a minor knee surgery, early retirement, and working as much as ever 
but only doing so doing things I want and love). 
Planned solution: downside fleet and refocus cycling priorities for this next 
stage of my life.  
Reality: several bike trades with amazing kind, generous, tall, fellow RBW 
Owners.  
The next 7 days has me receiving 3 new (used) Rivs I have purchased in the last 
3 days!
Builds, impressions, comparisons to come.  Welcome to my madness!
Sincerely,
Ryan Hankinson
West Michigan

Hehe, I just went through the same thing. I was down to N+1 a few weeks ago and

[RBW] N+3 🤦🏻‍♂️

['Abcyclehank' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I am going to rationalize that I am in good company with you Trader Joe!  
Looking at the glass as half full, we both do our part to support others Riv 
dreams.  Fortunately for me I buy used almost always because of my 99.5 PBH; 
however I did buy a large Hubbah tandem, and Will’s Bosco designed Jumbo 
Mountain Mixte new!
Everything else I buy “used” holds it’s value incredibly well; so I essentially 
have free will to experiment before passing things on again.  
Exception being when I keep another, and another, and another!

Thankful to Grant and company for bikes that fit.
Thankful for Joe, William, and a few others for being able to justify to my 
wife “just” how sane I am stillbike wise.

Ryan

[RBW] Re: What do Hilsen Serial numbers start with?

[Lum Gim Fong]

Canti for ultimate fenderability and rackability!!!
Nothing but air between tire and fork crown!!!
I always wondered why all Rivbikes are not canti bikes since they are such 
staunch supporters of fender and rack use.

Re: [RBW] Appaloosa vs road bike - (pointless) 19 mile commute time comparison

I think there was another thread along these lines that may have been more

[RBW] PSA: 20% Discount on Cheviot Presale Frames

[Stephen W.]

I was hoping for a color different than blue and sage this time around. My bank 
account is thankful the Cheviots are blue and sage. My mind says, "Buy it, have 
it painted". The struggle is real.

Re: [RBW] Re: Things I wish Rivendell still sold..

[John Bokman]

I've also been waiting for a 26" wheeled bike from Riv since the 
all-rounder. Although I'm not a short rider (I'm 6' tall, with 89cm PBH), I 
want to ride a 26" wheeled bike once again. Quick, nimble, fun, and 
versatile tire sizes. I love my Sam, but I'd buy a 26"er in a heartbeat if 
one was offered.

Tried riding fixed off-road on a whim. I think it’s now been about 5 years

deck, missing a few bits to complete.

Re: [RBW] Re: Things I wish Rivendell still sold..

[Rod Holland]

The 26" Surly LHT fits Rat Taps with fenders, and is a hoot to ride. (Lest 
anyone feel the need to reflexively advance the "feels dead" trope, let me 
suggest that Compass tires have a vivifying effect). But agree, a Riv offering 
in larger frame sizes that mounted Rat Traps would be a GOOD THING.
