[RBW] WTB 66 or 68cm Atlantis

[Kurt Manley]

Hey Rivsters,

Since my want to trade didn't pan out I thought I'd try a wtb, I'm looking 
for a 66 or 68 single top tube Atlantis. I know it's not a common size but 
it's worth a shot.

If you've got something you'd like to sell please email me kurtamanley (at) 
gmail.com or pm me here. 

I'd also be up for trading my 62 green Hunqapillar..

Thanks!

Kurt

[RBW] Re: Any 90ish PBH folks riding a 52 Clem H?

[tc]

Thanks all for your comments so far!

Patrick, I know you are a bigger frame kinda guy.  I'm finding that I don't 
like the bigger frame on my local trails.  My 64 Atlantis is wonderful for 
gravel and pavement, but feels way big (as does my 59 ClemH) on 
singletrack.  A longish stem and a MTB flatish bar, or Wavie, might be the 
ticket for me on a 52.  Dunno...

Christopher, I guess my saddle height reference is more of a side comment.  
Back in the 60s when my friends and I tore up trails on our "BMX'd" 
Stingrays, we'd always lower our saddles.  I guess it was what you'd call a 
learned adaptation to riding rigid bikes that bounce over roots and rocks 
when ridden fast :)  Done that ever since when riding rigid when the going 
gets rough off-road.

Zed, I was hoping you'd chime in too, as I've followed your Clem 
experiences with great interest.  You have probably toyed with more 
combinations of Clem setups than any of us.  I think you're on to something 
re: making a smaller Clem bigger is an easier feat than a bigger one 
smaller.

Eric, yes that's a great point re: reach...but it's kinda crazy of me to 
even compare.  The 52 Clem H's ETT (actually 60cm, 71.5 ST angle) would 
effectively give a greater reach than my 61 Roadini (60.5 ETT, 72 ST angle) 
and my 60.5 AHH (60 ETT, 71.5 ST angle), as their taller seat tubes would 
put more of the top tube behind the crank.  And of course the 59 Clem's 
reach would be longer still.  

It is interesting that several of the Blue Lug Clem H's are set up with 
more seat post height than what is normally confitured/pictured elsewhere.  
That's really what started me down this line of thinking for off-road 
riding.

Thanks, Max. That's a 59, which I could ride, and I generally like bigger, 
but the 52 is what I'm after in a Clementine. Also I have almost all the 
parts from my original Clementine, so I seek a frame and fork only.

[RBW] Re: New bike woes - Albatross bars and Brooks B17 Special saddle

[Tim Bantham]

In referring back to the original post I too had a similar dilemma. I ride 
a Sam with an Albatross and a Appaloosa with Billie's. I had a B-17 on 
both. I have made a choice to not use animal products so I decided to sell 
the leather Brooks. I since tried replacing them with every variation of 
the Cambium series in the carved variety but just did not agree with any of 
them. For me the takeaway is this. Nobody other than you can decide which 
saddle is right for you. The only way to know is to try a variety of 
choices until you find one that works with you anatomy. I would suggest 
focusing on saddle shape as a primary factor. If you are looking for 
choices try to find some with different shapes. At the advice of my friend 
James @Analog cycles I settled on a WTB SST that they stopped making the 
mid 90's. Luckily for me they made these by the gazillions so there are a 
ton to choose from hanging around on eBay. I wouldn't have expected this 
saddle to be "the one" but it goes to show you that you have to try a 
variety before finding what works for YOU. Good luck in your search.

[RBW] FS: Swift Fabio's Chest, Small

[Collin A]

Heyo,

I picked this up from a list member a couple months ago and used it mostly 
for coffee outside'ing, the occasional commute, and some S24Os, mostly 
off-road. I never really had enough clearance on the rear of my bike to 
make full use of the expandable nature of the bag, so am parting ways with 
it as a result. Its wonderfully made, and I will be including some titan 
straps and a dowel (with some threaded inserts on the end for lights) for 
mounting the bag on a brooks. You won't need that if you plan to run it 
purely on the front, which I think is the preferred position for most 
owners out there. Also, no flower patch, but I have that lying around 
somewhere

Asking $200 shipped (give me a couple days to pack and send off, life is 
busy right now).

Description: 
https://ronsbikes.com/products/fabios-chest-cordura?variant=19981621821528

Pictures here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/sW8Tqk7xk8hR6Pzr7

Let me know if you have questions! Again, wonderful bag, but just didn't 
work as well as I wanted on my setup.

Happy Wednesday,
Collin A

In my circle alone there are 3 who want Clementines (don’t bother correcting

type) but can’t get them. Dad is on the list for the 59, my sister wants the

Re: [RBW] Any 90ish PBH folks riding a 52 Clem H?

[Eric Daume]

Keep in mind that the Clem has a slack (71 degree?) seat tube angle, so
that ETT measurement doesn’t quite line up with a traditional mtb. Reach
would be a better indicator.

[RBW] Re: Any 90ish PBH folks riding a 52 Clem H?

[Zed Martinez]

Not quite the same thing but I'm right at the cusp between the 45 and the 
52 with about an 80.5 PBH/70cm saddle height. So, literally the last model 
of overlap. I started with the 52 in the H, and eventually switched to the 
45 but in L. I don't suspect the fit and position I have is quite what Riv 
generally has in mind for the Clems, but I have been considerably happier 
with my fit on the smaller one, and I certainly didn't dislike the bigger 
one any despite some perennial issues that probably arose from me messing 
with the fit adjustments too much trying to find where I liked it best. I 
do need a pretty long stem now, a 130, and I'm only using VO's Crazy Bars, 
anything as sweepy as Riv's bars would possible need longer still. But, the 
biggest thing on the bigger size was I struggled to get the saddle as far 
forward and the bars as low as I wanted. So, it ended up being one of those 
things where at a point it's easier to make a slightly too small bike 
bigger than a slightly too big one smaller.

[RBW] Any 90ish PBH folks riding a 52 Clem H?

[Christopher Cote]

I don't see why you'd want to ride with your seat that much lower off-road. 
Maybe a few mm. Mountain bikers have been riding gnarly terrain with normal 
seat heights for decades.

[RBW] Re: Singletracking/Offroading with Dynamo Lights and Hubs

[Marc40a]

I use a Son28 with a Sinewave Beacon and the biggest advantage for night 
riding is the ability to supplement the power with a small lipstick sized 
charger. The steady output is appreciated for technical, slow uphills, or 
even hike-a-bike sections.  One charge (3300 mah capacity battery, I think) 
lasts all night for me under normal conditions. 

Oh.. it's  also a USB charger as well ;0 )

[RBW] Any 90ish PBH folks riding a 52 Clem H?

['Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch]

When I've done test rides after wrenching on my wife and daughter's medium 
Clementines, it is a snug fit and I never ride far because of that. My PBH is 
90, and until Boots, I'd upsized a bit and really like that ride. Boots is 
great too!

With abandon,

[RBW] Re: Plus Tires for GBW

[Daniel M]

I can confirm that the tread has worn pretty quickly, but since I'm on the 
eternal hunt for a 26x3.0" slick, I'm OK with it! I don't think mine have a 
huge number of miles on them, but heavily-loaded touring has been a large 
proportion of those miles, and that will wear down knobs quickly on almost any 
tire. I think I've got at least four 5-ish-day-long loop tours on my pair: two 
in Death Valley, one in Southern Utah, and one Monterey to Big Sur and back. 
The roads in Death Valley are frankly abhorrent - not rocky roads, just rock 
roads, and my only incidents were one pinch flat on each tour due to pushing 
the low pressure ideal a bit too far with a heavy load while descending said 
rock roads a bit too quickly. The Utah and Big Sur trips had some long paved 
sections, and I was really grateful for the reasonably low rolling resistance 
on those - my friend on a 4" fatbike couldn't keep up with me on the pavement, 
despite having drop bars.

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: Clem L 64cm

[tom horton]

al, I’ve got the schwalbe 60mm speed ones on my clem 64 and very happy with 
them. riding forest roads I’ve had one flat from our local greenbrier…got a set 
of schwalbe all arounders, same size, and might put them on, but not yet. with 
that size the bike can power through a fair amount of sand.

I put jones loop bars on mine, just on a hunch, and love them. sent a pic to 
will at riv and he said he’d never have thought they would look so appropriate 
and he might try it himself sometime; but I expect many bars will work fine. I 
found my go-to brooks b17 a bit harsh on trails, and tried their sprung saddle, 
b67 I think…first time ever. I like it so far.

glad they will make some more.  tom h

[RBW] Any 90ish PBH folks riding a 52 Clem H?

[tc]

Curious to see if anyone rides a "1 size down" Clem H, with SH lowered a 
bit below Riv recommendation (maybe by 4ish cm?) for improved off-roading 
agility and standover ... esp when running fatter tires?  Obviously a 
significantly lowered saddle wouldn't fly if you're on a long ride, but for 
2 hour adventures, this is an intriguing idea.

Would love to hear thoughts from those who're actually riding a smaller 
Clem or were between sizes and opted to go smaller.

In my case (90.5 PBH), a 59 Clem works well for paved riding.  A 52, 
though, still has a 61.5 ETT and frame geometry that is closer to hardtails 
that I'd ride than the 59.

You will need different brake return springs for Dia Compe brakes on braze

Re: [RBW] Re: New bike woes - Albatross bars and Brooks B17 Special saddle

[Patrick Moore]

FWIW, long ago when I was still experimenting with Brookses, I found the
B17 N more comfortable than the B17 regular; this for drop bars 3" and more
below saddle -- the regular 17 was too wide for me and the skirts chafed.
The Pro was even nicer feeling.

The Flyer, B17 on springs, was fine on a slightly more upright drop-barred
mtb, but I couldn't get the springs to workd.

Agreed, Eric. 

I would also assert that folks who think the B17 is too hard or 
uncomfortable -- *after *confirming they have it adjusted/placed correctly 
-- try the B17 *Imperial*.  The cutout does make a difference, but it still 
quite supportive. 

I have also tried the C19 carved.  I like the B17's flatter shape better.  
The C19 is more rounded and basically has a lot of extra width that doesn't 
offer support under the sit bones.

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: Clem L 64cm

[Coal Bee Rye Anne]

Wait... another run of 64cm Clem L in summer 2019?  Was that announced 
recently?  I thought I've been up to date on all of their 
emails/blugs/blahgs but maybe I missed one somewhere.. or was that relayed 
only as inside info in response to a direct inquiry at Riv?  My finances 
suggest I have no business even considering it and previously the only way 
I'd have been able to make it work is by selling/trading my H version which 
I prefer to keep.  If another run is actually on the horizon I might need 
to plan accordingly and start selling other goods to help get a step thru 
frameset to complement my 65cm Clem H.  Another complete is out of question 
but I could likely save enough and downsize enough to go for a frameset.

[RBW] Re: Dia-Compe 610s used with Braze-On Posts

[Jim C]

Hi, John-

The brake arms should just transfer from the normal mounting plate with 
pivot posts to a set of brazed on posts. I have not done it with Weinmanns 
but did the same thing with Mafac Competitions without problem. I have 36 
mm Honjo alloy fenders on the bike and there is another 7 mm of space on 
either side between the fender and the pivot bolt location. My seat stays 
are the conventional, flat plate style that attach to the side of the seat 
tube lug. Narrow types like shot in stays will narrow the fender space.

Re: [RBW] Re: New bike woes - Albatross bars and Brooks B17 Special saddle

['Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Huh? Let’s agree that not all butts are the same. I have B17s in almost all my 
bikes, which are almost entirely drop bar. 

Personally, I find the Brooks Professional and other narrower Brooks variants 
to be *too* narrow. But that’s just me. Your pelvis may vary.

[RBW] Re: New bike woes - Albatross bars and Brooks B17 Special saddle

[Ron Mc]

Breaking-in Brooks saddles is an internet myth resulting from 
misapplication and improper adjustment.  Leather stretch is the 
life-limiting mechanism for Brooks saddles, and anything you do to 
accelerate it is simply shortening the life of the saddle.  
The B-17 is too wide for a drop-bar road bike, and a brand-new B-15 is the 
most invisible saddle I've ever ridden in that application.  B-17 fits me 
perfectly on 2 semi-upright bikes.  
If you haven't gone through different positions on the saddle nose, that's 
the place to start.  
Otherwise, you probably need the B-67 if B-17 isn't working for you.

Thanks Tom! I’m excited to know they will make another run of them this summer. 
They are so rare!

Who else but Riv would make such a bike? No one

[RBW] Re: Plus Tires for GBW

[Pondero]

Patrick, I'll admit that they wear pretty fast, but mine were replaced with 
some texture remaining after a year, and much more than 500 miles.  I'll admit, 
however, that my tires usually last longer because I am relatively light 
weight.  Tread wear is a consideration with this tire, but the ride quality 
makes up for it in my case.

[RBW] WTB 52cm Clementine frame and fork

['Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I know, a unicorn might be easier to find. But I understand they don't like 
to be ridden, so I'm trying for a Clementine frame and fork. Had one that I 
sold for financial reasons. Cash, trade or some of both. I have a 24" 
Raleigh International, Brooks saddles, various Riv-approved handlebars, and 
Paypal or check. Kindly reply off list. Thanks!
