Re: [RBW] Fattest Tire on a QB?

[Michael Williams]

RG,   I used to be able to fit BG rock n roads ( 700x43) on my Orange 64 QB a 
few years back with the wheel in the middle to rear of the dropouts.   And the 
RnRs have some decent side knobs to take into account.  Not sure of exact mm 
clearance on each side but it was fine.-Mike

Re: [RBW] Re: What's your favorite painting of a Bombadil?

[Jason Fuller]

Yeah the low-keyness of the current raw finish is a pretty big plus in that
regard, as I do have to lock it up around town - the orange of my Sam
certainly causes some additional fear when I lock it up out of sight (which
isn't very often)

[RBW] Re: What's your favorite painting of a Bombadil?

[Chris L]

It might be sacrilege, but if I ever decided to change the color of my 
Hunqapillar, I would have it powder coated dull black.  Deciding to change 
the color would  be an indication that it's a "forever" bike for me and I 
want it to look as generic as possible.  Just a personal preference.

However, there are other Riv's and other non-Riv's that interest me, so for 
now, it stays dolphin gray and orange.

[RBW] Fattest Tire on a QB?

[Robert Gardner]

Hi everyone --

I recently saw a post on Instagram (which I have subsequently lost track
of) that showed a QB rocking Ultradynamico 700ccs (I think they were the
Rosè racers).

As I am in the market for some new rubber I thought -- WOWZA -- that would
be fun. So, I'm throwing myself at the mercy of the few the proud the QB
riders on this list. What's the fattest you've been able to go on a QB (if
it helps, I ride a 58...)

Thanks all --

RGinDC

It was in Friday’s mailer.   Yeah!!!

*Platypus frames will be available to order Thursday April 1st at 12pm 
PST. *You'll have to trust us that it isn't an April Fools joke. We're 
going to finish all the Sam orders before starting on the Plattys so even 
though you'll be able to buy one, we'll take awhile to get to your order.

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

[Leah Peterson]

I think Riv’s objection to metal is in regards to safety. No metal fender comes 
with breakaway tabs. The SKS have breakaway tabs for the front wheel, BUT 
Portland Design Works makes breakaways for metal fenders, which answers the 
safety question.

SKS are made form recycled plastics I believe?

I actually felt the same way until I owned a pair, their mounting system is 
well thought out (albeit in German) and they are a lot more forgiving to 
knocks than aluminum.

[RBW] Re: What's your favorite painting of a Bombadil?

[Jason Fuller]

Blue Lug's sense of style is unparalleled!  Yeah that's gorgeous.  Eric has 
a good point too - and, something that I think about is that a proper 
quality paint job will be minimum one-third the value of the frame itself, 
when I could just put that towards an actual frame and preserve the 
Bombadil's original finish... 

Good chance I've been talked out of ever painting it, despite the high 
quality options given.

Being honest, I'm surprised that the SKS plastic fenders are still being 
sold by Rivendell (and are a go-to of Riv owners) now that there is such a 
wide variety of good quality aluminum fenders nowadays. The SKS are 
definitely the best of the bunch for plastic but don't hold a candle to

[RBW] Re: new shoes for a 47cm Atlantis

[dougP]

My wife's 47cm Atlantis (Toyo built, c. '02-'03) has Schwalbe Marathon 
Supreme in 1.6" width.  I think you'd be OK.  I just checked & I can get my 
index finger between the tire at the fork, seat stay, & chain stay.  Tires 
measure 1.46" (37 mm).  Rims are the originals used by Rivendell at the 
time; no idea if width. 

Hope that helps.

Just to stave off others patiently waiting on this frame -- there was just 
a post on Rivendell's IG page saying an email should come through this 
afternoon and it *may* contain "long awaited" updates. Maybe a date of when 
we can all order these frames direct from Rivendell?

[RBW] WTB: 64cm Clem L

[adh]

Hello everyone, I'm new to the group. I'm looking for a 64cm Clem L, 
ideally just the frame set, and even more ideally in a green or black, 
though I'm not as picky as all that. They don't really know when the next 
batch will come in, which obviously isn't their fault! But I've heard it 
could be as late as October and would like to get this build riding before 
then.

Thank you

[RBW] new shoes for a 47cm Atlantis

[Mike Davis]

Does anyone know if the Rene Herse 26" Naches Pass 1.8's will fit onto an 
old style (2002 Made in Japan) Atlantis? 


I've run Specialized 1.5 Nimbus (2) for years on the Commuter and the 
Atlantis but I'm thinking a little added width might be nice. The catalog 
says 1.7", PJW says 1.75",  for tires on those models of the Atlantis but 
the width of the Naches Pass is 41mm on a 20mm rim (I run 18mm rims).

[RBW] Ride Report

[Irv Hoffman]

Thought someone might be interested in this story which appears in the 
current *Atlanta* magazine.
All my rides were on a Romulus except my recent ride from ATL to Key West 
and back which was on a new Appaloosa. All were self contained with full 
loads.

[RBW] WTB 58-59cm Atlantis frame

[Nathan Sparks]

Hello all, new to the group here. I am in search of an Atlantis frame. I 
would prefer one of the long chainstay, wide clearance new gen frames, but 
would be very interested in and older gen as well. If anyone has any leads 
thanks so much! 

Cheers, Nathan

Re: [RBW] Re: Any Susie owners out there?

[Benjamin Park]

Thanks all! Keith- wondering why you use Jones over Susie for rough rides? 
How do your swept back bars (Tosco?) work for the rougher more technical 
rides? I have limited experience using that degree of sweep and a little 
concerned about control- having elbows out seems more stable to me albeit 
less comfortable.  Also, how do you like your drivetrain choices? I'm also 
looking at a similar setup (2x in front; 10 speed? in back).

[RBW] Re: FS: MUSA pants, British wool and linen

[Doug H.]

I've been looking for some pants with primer on the left cuff so these 
won't work for me. I need a clean right cuff. This post is so funny and I 
got a chuckle out of it. Good luck with the sale. Even stained MUSA pants 
are the best. One of my pair have a hole in them and I wear them often.

[RBW] Re: WTB: your zippy skinny tire road frameset collecting dust

[Andrew Turner]

This 

 
exact frame but orange with black decals. Looks like I might be pushing my 
luck with 28mm rubber but that's alright with me. While I love my one and 
only 32mm fendered bike, I've started to run into the jack of all trades, 
master of none problem. It's not the most spirited ride unloaded and it can 
only carry 1 light bag of groceries...Perhaps this will be the year of the 
fast road bike and 26er franken-commuter bike!

[RBW] Re: WTB: Paul Motolites and Love Levers 2.5s

[Eric Marth]

Jason makes a great point. Things have a better chance of turning up when 
you call or email for specifics rather than refreshing that product page! 
If you get a definitive idea of when those parts will be back in stock at 
Paul it will help you decide if you want to purchase from Blue Lug instead. 
Food for thought :)

Sorry - I meant specifically for the Platypus with 38mm or thereabouts. I 
think the P50 but want to be sure when I do the Amazon swap.

Phil,

I have P45s paired with 650b 38mm Gravel Kings

P50s would give more margin.

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

[Roberta]

Fenders are practical!  What width tires?  

This is from Riv’s website. I hope this helps. It doesn’t specifically say 
“chromoplast.”

For 700c tires skinner than 28mm: P35

For 700c tires 28mm to 38mm: P45 Longboards 
 if you ride up to a 700x38 size.

For 650b or 700c tires up to 45mm: P50 
 

For 26" tires up to 2" :  P55 .

For any 700c, 650b, or 26-inch tires up to 2.35" (65mm):  B65

[RBW] WTB: your zippy skinny tire road frameset collecting dust

[Andrew Turner]

I had some great luck from this group in the past so figured I'd give it 
another swing. 
I'm on the hunt for a lightweight, steel, no-frill road frameset with the 
following attributes: 

   - 60ish cm size, going off of old geometry, something with a 60-62 ST 
   and 58 TT. 
   - 130/100 spacing 
   - vertical dropouts 
   - downtube shifter bosses 
   - clearance for a 28mm - 32mm tire 
   - short-mid reach recessed brakes  
   - endurance geometry 

Looking forward to seeing what's out there! 
Thanks group, 
Andrew
