[John Rinker]

Thanks, Jared. Always found it much easier to find that elusive ticket and 
it was always one hell of a ride!

 Short of a miracle, by just a hair, I'm hoping that someone out 
 there in Riv-land might have a Toyo/MUSA Atlantis that needs more 
 riding 
 than it's currently getting. 

 I'm looking for a 64cm (my PHB is 93) Atlantis frame and fork. A 
 double-top tube would be the icing on the cake.

 Should you or someone you know have such a ‘miracle’ ready for 
 another adventure, let me know. jwrinker(at)gmail(dot)com

 Cheers.

 p.s. Very important to match your bike, pedals, and basket bag. Still 
 looking for those blue-green grips.

Re: [RBW] Re: To My Platypus People!

Will sent out an email a little over an hour ago detailing items back in

He included this comment:
"Our next batch [of Sams], coming on the *YM Unicorn* with the Platypus

 You’re in for such a treat. The bike is light, fun, gorgeous, and very

 Instagram, Rivendell has an official hashtag for us to use: #rbwplatypus.

[RBW] FS: Matthews fat-tire dirt road bike f+f+rear rack + custom fenders + bb + hs + Hy Rds: $1,000 NET + actual packing and shipping

[Patrick Moore]

I just like the Monocog better for sand, and I've now got 42s on the
Matthews road bike, which handles better on pavement, so this "dirt road
bike" just falls between the cracks. I just ordered a MAP/Ahearne bar for
the Monocog.

51 c-c, 55 c-t, with very sloped tt; fits me perfectly who take a 60 C
56-57 c-c in a level tt road bike
*Effective tt* 56-57
HTA ~71.5, STA ~72, rake ~55 mm

Custom rear rack in matching color
Logic hs, Phil 130 mm steel bb (works with Ritchey Logic cranks, not
included) for 160 mm Q
Custom 80 mm aluminum full coverage fenders. Forward strut may seem oddly
close to head tube; that's because I re-installed fender for more forward
coverage, and used original hole for strut. It's fine: stiff, and doesn't
rattle.
TRP Hy Rds calipers (no discs or levers; see below)
Room for real 60s and fenders, but more room under ss bridge with 50s.
Fork has "hooks" for dynamo wire (wire can be installed with plug attached;
it's secure); internal rear light wire routing thru tt and ss; rear rack
has internal routing too.
3 pairs of bottle cage mounts
Internal routing for rear disc brake cable
QR or nutted-type dropouts (I have not had any rubbing problems)
Brake housing stops on bottom head tube
Brazed-in under-bb cable guides

There is some touch-up paint mess on inside of seatstays just under bridge
where a 5 mile walk home with a flattened Big One wore off the paint, which
I repainted with red paint on hand -- 2 neat little read squares. There are
also primer "tendrils" that escaped the masking that I will try to clean up
with acetone; not obvious unless you look closely. Rear rack has scuffing
from Ortlieb clips; Otherwise, paint is vg.

No wheels, crank, cassette, derailleurs

*Note that with Big Ones and fenders, there is a good 2 1/2" of toe
overlap.* (I told Chauncey what my priorities were, and avoiding TO was low
on the list.)

$1,000 NET plus actual packing + Bike Flights or ShipBikes shipping to your
address. The local shop charges about $60 for packing, and there may be a
2-week wait for the job order.

Add 10 cm, 90* Ritchey stem ($90 new), pretty new RH Maes Parallel, non-EL,
44 cm, Shimano aero levers, and cabling for total price of $1,200 NET +
packing and shipping.

Also selling NOS lightest-model Big Ones, contact me about qty and pricing.
Willing to discount for qty order with frameset.

*Apart from these sale options, I don't want to part out at this point*

Photos to come.

Please reply *off list.*

Thanks, Patrick

Re: [RBW] Re: To My Platypus People!

[Jared Wilson]

If I understood correctly it has to do with unusual weather and shipping 
containers at the port, a lack of "parking spaces" more or less?

[RBW] Re: Custom Details

[lconley]

One of my personal signatures on my builds are zero end cap crimps - I 
solder all of the cable ends. This was much easier in the days of 
non-stainless steel cables and lead solder, but I finally did the research 
and came up with the correct flux and solder for stainless steel cable. 
Plus I finally replaced my 70's era soldering iron.

Now I know what to do with that pile of Paul stickers.

Re: [RBW] Custom Details

['Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Columbine used to offer a plastic band-on version of this braze-on item, called 
the “Quickchainger.” 

You can see it here, but I’m not 100% sure that the web site is still valid: 

http://www.columbinecycle.com/store.php 
 

Here’s a picture:



I had these on several bikes, and it is definitely a cool device. It doesn’t 
work well with vertical or semi-vertical dropouts.

Re: [RBW] Re: Custom Details

[Paul Brodek]

I'm having weird posting stuff today, apologies again if this is a dupe.

I've seen quite a few seatstay-mount chain hangers shear off. Depending on 
location and with short chain length and/or higher chain tension, they can 
also make it a little difficult to get the wheel in/out. Chainstay mount 
doesn't have either problem.

Back in my yout, that chainstay-mount attachment was thought to have been 
invented by the Murphy Bros. at Columbine. I phrase it that way because I'm 
now pretty used to thinking something like this only to have somebody say: 
"The French/Italians/whoevs were doing this in the 1930s!" Or 1800s. Or 
whenevs.

I have two '82 Columbines, but neither have the Columbine chainstay-mount 
hanger. One has a standard cyclindrical-shaped boss, the other has an 
unusual (to me) kinda squished L-shaped hook. Pictured below, but it was 
hard to get the angle I wanted with the bike hanging on a hook. It does 
hold the chain a little more securely, but would shear off just as easily 
if I forgot the unhook the chain and rode off.

Heads up to the heads up... my notification that it was in stock went to my 
spam bin. I even made sure to re-sign up for the newsletter once the site 
was updated (always used to get my product notifications). I've been 
waiting for that rack for a long time. Boy did that thing disappear

 Short of a miracle, by just a hair, I'm hoping that someone out 
 there in Riv-land might have a Toyo/MUSA Atlantis that needs more 
 riding 
 than it's currently getting. 

 I'm looking for a 64cm (my PHB is 93) Atlantis frame and fork. A

Sigh is right, David.

Spoke with Vince yesterday, he did indeed say mid-March ETA.

Hopefully that gives more people time to get funds together to help support 
an amazing company and get a killer bike in the process.

[RBW] Re: Custom Details

[Paul Brodek]

Very cool!

This goes back almost 40yrs now, but when building up a tricked-out 
24"-wheel Fuji Junior SE (up-spec'd with Valite tubing) for my petite 
destined-to-be-wifey, I realized that uberlight aluminum alloy Japanese 
1yen coins were a perfect outer-diameter fit for 1" handlebar ends. They 
had to be crazy-glued in place, so not as perfect/elegant as friction-fit 
pedal caps, but an alloy 1yen coin weighs a lot less than a nickel.

My Minolta CLE didn't have macro capability, so no close-up photos. No 
further-away photos, either.

[RBW] Re: Build Ideas for New Sam H

[RichS]

Eric,

A nod to the Dia-Compe 980s. They don't have the more immediate stopping 
power of Paul's but the price, classic design, silver finish and lack of 
squeal (with Kool-Stop pads) make the 980s good brakes for me. Have run 
them on one of my Rivs and will use them on two forthcoming builds.

Jason commented on the limited ability of the adjustment screws on the 
Tektros. Same issue the Dia-Compes have but so far that has not been a deal 
breaker. I've also used Shimano CX-70s and those work fine. The adjustment 
screws on those are quite effective. Perhaps look into the current CX-50s.

Best,
Rich in ATL

Re: [RBW] Re: Custom Details

It's not really an easter egg, but it IS a wonderful detail: the peg on the
frame above the rear axle to hand the chain on. I am recalling it now as I
took a fix-your-bike course a while back and my Bertrand* was on the
workstand and when the peg was pointed out, the rest of the class was
completely agog at such a thing.

Does my Riv have one? Not sure, I imagine it does.

[RBW] Re: ISO 700c wheels for my Clem H

[Bill Lindsay]

I have a Rivendell wheelset that may suit you.  My friend Doug bought a 
complete Hilsen from Riv in 2012.  He soon after switched over to upright 
bar bikes and asked me to sell his Hilsen for him.  I still have the 
wheelset from that bike.  It is the Riv basic country bike wheelset from 
~2012:

Velocity Synergy rims, silver, machined sidewalls, asymmetric rear, 36 
spokes.  Shimano Deore LX hubs 135/100.  Shimano skewers.  The graphics on 
the two Deore LX hubs don't match exactly.  

The rims measure 23mm outside width.  That may be considered narrower than 
ideal if you are going to run 50mm tires 

I'm in El Cerrito, and you could pick them up off my porch for $175.  Let 
me know if you want them
