Re: [RBW] Recommend a film camera
Between a full manual and full automatic is stuff like autofocus and aperture-priority. You could get a Minolta setup with aperture priority pretty cheap - XD11 or X570, plus whatever lenses you were interested in. They're built like tanks and have a world of lenses available to them. I think the Minolta gear is exceptionally good and undervalued. I've been shooting Minolta since I was 16 and still do to this day. I also shoot Leica, Crown Graphic, Canon, etc. but the Minolta stuff is still around. On Fri, Aug 16, 2019 at 12:14 AM Drw wrote: > I think this is on topic.

[RBW] WTB Rosco Bubbe step through
Hey all, I'm not talking about the jumbo/huge. Does anybody have one of these that's not seeing much mileage that they're looking to move on? I've missed a couple opportunities in the past year where they've popped up here and got cold feet. There's another Bubbe frame hanging up at RBW HQ that I'll likely snag if there's not a step thru around here, but the step thru is what I'm really after. f/f/hs preferred.

[RBW] Recommend a film camera
You can consider an aperture-priority film camera. Perhaps something lightweight like a Nikon FE2, so you can leverage a plethora of good F-mount lenses and accessories. A FE2 with a 45mm f/2.8 “pancake” lens will be light and compact, and easy to carry around when biking. A little more esoteric are the OM-2 or OM-4 from Olympus, but lens selection and availability will be curtailed. These are all SLRs so they’ll be more fun and versatile than P cameras. I’m sure there are other brands (e.g., Canon, Yashica, Pentax, etc), but I’m only familiar with these. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Shifting issues on 1st Gen Clementine
Leah, my guess is you got used to the way the front shifts compared to the quite different arrangement on Betz. I know from experience that those Silver cranks move the granny tighter to the frame than Sugino, so the shift over to it is going to be lazier. It's also going to be weak if you shift to the granny while in the smallest cog in back, a thing I never thought to ask about. It's better to get to the biggest 4 cogs in back (lowest 4 speeds) before downshifting the front. The rear is just lame, that will only be solved with your new shifters.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Nitto Basket Rack
I think you answered your own question. The Basket Rack is purpose built for a Wald 139 basket. If that's your use case, it seems to me that's a really nice rack to consider buying. If your use case requires a versatile swiss-army knife rack, then there may be better choices. Having more choices is always good, in my opinion. I understand being sad that nice stuff is expensive, and that products manufactured via high-cost, high-quality supply chains tend to be expensive, but for a good front rack that could last you the rest of your life over many bikes, $250 is not really that much money. $80 tires are guaranteed to be used up in short order. Your 10-year old front rack will be functionally good as new. Racks are worth investing in.

Re: [RBW] Re: Shifting issues on 1st Gen Clementine
You’re making sense to me with your fancy mechanic words, Garth! I see that too, now that you say it. I ordered the new shifters and will have the mechanics look at the chain when I take the bike for shifter install. The story gets stranger. I’ve ridden the bike to school the last 2 days, so about 16 miles, and the front seems to be cooperating more often than not, which makes me wonder if it just needed to be broken in? But the rear is GHOST SHIFTING. I know how to compensate for that weird setup, but still I get at least one spasm of unwanted shifting per trip and it is so unnerving.

[RBW] Re: Pitted German mirror and possible WTB the mirror
I have two that are in similar shape. I always thought they were just silver stickers over plastic?

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Nitto Basket Rack
Leah, I thought the same. It's just a much nicer looking 24 pack rack and the price to reflect that difference. I'll stick w/ my Surly 8 Pack rack and the TV Tray for those wide loads. CHEERS!

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Nitto Basket Rack
Is that $250.00 the firm moving forward price, I wonder? >From my perspective the addition of a traditional tombstone would make this rack way more versatile -- but that's my running complaint about a lot of platform racks on the market today. I get the need for a back stop when attaching a basket ... but why negate the usefulness of a tombstone as well for anyone looking to run a traditionally configured handlebar bag as an option?

Re: [RBW] Re: Shifting issues on 1st Gen Clementine
I noted in the photos of your bike the chain appears in the smallest rear cogs and small ring and the chain doesn't have much tension. It could possibly have a few too many links, and/or RD isn't up to the task. This is all greek to you of course. It reminds me of how 2 people can speak the same language about a subject and yet neither one knowing what one earth the other is talking about. So much for words..
