[RBW] Re: FS A. Homer Hilsen 57cm (Toyo)

[Eric G@rs]

Bump. Had a few bites from Craigslist, but not sold yet. Feel free to make 
me an offer if interested. 

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/bik/d/menlo-park-rivendell-homer-hilsen-toyo/7253051293.html

For sale is my 57 Rivendell A. Homer Hilsen handmade by Toyo in Japan in 
~2008. I recently had it powder coated low-gloss black for durability after 
the decals on the original paint job peeled. Different paint job, same 
great steel frame. I have included a before picture. I then re-built the 
bike with the following parts:

Velocity Dyad rims (700c) laced to Deore LX hubs
Panaracer GravelKing 38 slicks
Shimano Deore XT M771 SGS derailleur
New Albion double crank set with guard
Shimano UN-55 bottom bracket
Shimano Dura-Ace bar end shifters (index or friction) mounted on IRD stem 
mount
Tektro R559 brakes
FSA 1” threaded headset
Shimano Tiagra brake levers
Nitto DirtDrop stem with 8mm extension

Currently there is no front derailleur installed as I prefer a de facto 1x 
with option for a bail out gear if necessary, but I would be happy to 
install or provide a front derailleur if desired. Feel free to reach out 
with any questions. Price is 1600$ or best offer. Pedals not included, but 
I can throw in the saddle if necessary.

Thanks Dave and James. That pre-fab kickstand plate looks like the ticket.

Structurally you are okay.
You can get a kick stand plate brazed on, if you ever decide to repaint the 
frame.

Re: [RBW] Chainstay dimples and kickstand kisses

[Dave S]

Maybe too late but Surly makes a specific CNC'ed plate set to prevent this 
from happening.

https://surlybikes.com/parts/kickstand_plate

Probably slap those on there if you're going to reinstall the stand.

Thanks for the input, Eric, I appreciate it. 

My stand had the same pieces of rubber on the top of the stays (one was 
cracked) but crunched the bottom!

[RBW] Re: FS: Brooks B68 Saddle & Brooks MT21 Multi-Tool

[Jan O.]

Grant mentioned the B68 in the last BLAHG:

*"We are hoping Brooks will bring back the B.68. A couple of BLAHGs ago I 
tried to get every single one of you to write to them (and included a link 
to do that). I don't know how that worked out, whether or not they WILL, 
but if they do, we'll have that.  In case you missed the opportunity to 
plead with Brooks to bring back this saddle (wider than B.17, kind of like 
a B.67 without the unnecessary springs), here's your chance again 
.
 
Don't tell them Rivendell put you up to it. Just tell them this would make 
you happy".*

Re: [RBW] Chainstay dimples and kickstand kisses

['Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch]

P.S. My Soma Saga came with a kickstand installed, and whoever built the bike 
(probably American Cyclery in SF) used thick rubber between the kickstand and 
the frame to prevent dimpling of the top of the chain stays (there’s a 
kickstand plate on the bottom).

The same frame in carbon fiber would probably be a total loss.

[RBW] Re: FS: Brooks B68 Saddle & Brooks MT21 Multi-Tool

[LeRoy]

Thanks to all those who inquired. Both the Saddle and Multi-tool are on the 
way to new homes.

As an aside, it does seem that Brooks may have discontinued the B68 a bit 
prematurely, given the increasing popularity of bicycles designed for a 
more upright riding position.

Re: [RBW] Clem saddle?

[EricP]

This is why everyone is different. Am enjoying the stock Clem saddle. Now, 
when I get back on it in the spring after the snow melts, might feel 
different. It was good on rides up to 25 miles. The main limitation was my 
behind. And the loop is good for the Sackville bags.
