Cross post apologies.

Hey Folks,

I am dramatically downsizing my life and getting rid of almost all my bike 
stuff I've been hoarding. Prices include shipping (CONUS) except for bikes 
which are local pickup only for now. All prices are net to me. Discounts 
for purchases of multiple items. If my prices are off base, make an offer. 
If you have any questions about items please let me know.

26" bicycle set up with nitto albatross bars and a 3x8 gearing with bar end 
shifters. Has White Industries hubs laced to Alex rims 40 spokes each. I'm 
5'11" and my wife is 5'2" and it fit us spot on. If the stoker is any 
shorter they might struggle with dismounts. I had a rear disc brake mount 
welded on but never changed the cable routing for it. So its non functional 
right now.

Re: [RBW] First 40+ miles...

[Patrick Moore]

Congratulations on 2 new Rivendell road/roadish bikes. Frankly, the
Quickbeam looks good in the photos; not at all as if kicked down stairs.
The paint on the Road reminds me of the original navy metallic with cream
accents on my '99 custom -- darker than yours, I think, but very similar.
It's now Ford Blue after some 2018 modifications.

The really is something about a dialed in Rivendell road bike that I've not
found matched elsewhere; or, more accurately, very rarely found matched
elsewhere. I've felt this "perfect match of rider and bike" every time I've
gotten on the 1999 for the last 21 years; I rode the the new -- 2020 --
Matthews clone-of-a-clone (copy of 2003 Road custom itself a copy of the
1999) up hills on Friday and man, how I love the feel of sitting just
perfectly behind the bb, hands light on ramps or hoods, and being able to
efficiently and comfortably sit and push against gravity. I daresay the
downhill handling is superbe too, but so many years of riding my Rivs with
fixed drivetrains have ruined my downhill handling skills and, indeed,
confidence.

Put that old rd back on the Road; it deserves a nice-looking rd, not some
ugly black anodized or powdercoated blob.

Patrick Moore, whose 700C X 61-with 80 mm fenders Matthews "road bike for
dirt" has a rear Dura Ace 7401 rd pulled by a Suntour Barcon over 10 cogs,
13-25.

[RBW] First 40+ miles...

[Robert Dowtin]

 

I suppose this is a ride(s) report. A few weeks ago I was escorted across 
state lines to procure my first Rivendell road frame, my partner in this 
heist (a great deal) got himself a super rad hubbuhubbuh tandem. Upon 
arriving in Nashville we discovered that a first gen Quickbeam frame, that 
for some reason or another I believed had been previously sold and not 
available, was very much available. The owner being the rad guy that he is, 
let me ride his identical orange QB around the block to see if I 
immediately fell in love with what he described as his #1 favorite 
bike...of course I did. I bought it and the set of OG QB wheels along with 
the Road frame w/ Phil Wood wheels that we had traveled all that way to 
get.  Elated, we rushed back home with our take and by Tuesday at lunchtime 
I had the Quickbeam fully built and before a storm rolled in I got around 
the block twice with a massive smile across my face. Just can not believe 
how great the potential is for fun on this bike...man. 

So, as I waited to get my hands on the last few remaining parts for the 
Road bike, I struck up conversations with a number of wonderful people on 
and off this list to include Will over at Rivendell about the history of 
this bike (the road, not the quickbeam, keep up, we'll be switching back 
and forth a lot...I'm sure) which it turns out was not a road standard but 
a road custom made by Joe Starck and painted by Joe Bell. This was all 
covered in Patrick's thread about the wonderfulness of his custom frame.


So. The Quickbeam. After that storm, I rode that bike every single day 
between 5 and 30 miles a day all over NW Arkansas, running errands, just 
riding, holy shit with a massive grin and emotions bordering on euphoria. 
Never have I felt this good on any bike. I love this thing. I love it. 
Goddamnit this was and is an outstanding frame. OK so that's settled I 
don't ever care about riding anything else again ever.


Last few parts came in for the Road. As I finished putting it together my 
excitement naturally grew, but I must say I was kinda nervous that the Road 
was going to steal something away from my new found love for the QB. Lets 
be honest my QB looks like someone kicked it down a few flights of stairs, 
and while it is cool it never was amongst Rivendell's prettiest line of 
frames. 

The Road, however... the lugs and the paint and the head badge and font 
makes this absolutely the prettiest bike I have ever touched, much less 
ridden, much much less owned. There may be objectively more attractive 
bikes out there, somewhere, maybe. 


Almost identical situation occurred as the week before only this time 
torrential rain instead of snow came with this storm. I waited it out 
having only done the ride around the block a few times with my kid on the 
brand new bike because I was short on time routine... This couple of 'round 
the blocks' was just enough to let me know that there was the potential for 
magic.

Storm lasted for approx. 36hrs…

Two days later I'm off on my first shake down ride, my favorite 20mi out 
and back to a local spring. Best tasting water around. Fill up and head 
back. Well, there was a 17mph headwind nearly the entire way there. And I 
just couldn't get my pedal stroke comfortably where I wanted it, nor can I 
even fully tell you what I mean by that. I did regularly think that it was 
bizarre that I felt so fast and so uncomfortable, even in the wind. And it 
was, as I later learned, strangely fast no matter how uncomfortable. 

The pictures of evergreen and mini waterfall are the aforementioned spring 
area. So then I simply turned around and rode an uncomfortable 10+ miles 
back home on a phenomenal bike with a great tailwind. I knew the 
uncomfortableness was do to my form, I just couldn’t figure out why it was 
so bad and I couldn’t seem to fix it…also my ass my have never hurt this 
bad from a c17 ever. 

I got home and all of the gps data from my phone said that it was the 
fastest I had ever done that out and back route. Not sure I believe this at 
all. I am blown away, I don’t feel like I was pushing myself hard, mostly 
due to just feeling awkward and uncomfortable. Other than how you would 
expect to feel in any normal headwind, although, I averaged over 1mph 
faster than normal. So I got out the tape and started measuring every. 
single. Thing.

Apparently my saddle was 1.5cm too low and my bars were about 2 cm too low. 
Whatcha wanna bet that solved my comfort issues?

Next day I did another 20mi out and back to a state park with a lake near 
our house. Last photos are of the overlook above the lake. Its one of my

 Hi all - 

 I am new to this group and thought I'd start by posting about a 
 recent ride.

 I had some free-time yesterday so decided take my recently acquired 
 Leo (Roadini), my first Riv, for a venture to Sonoma county. I have 
 wanting 
 to do a good long ride since I got the bike and the Sonoma Coast 
 route  designed by a local bike 
 club had the potential to make my day. 

 This turned out to be the best day on a bike in a while. It 
 included redwoods, fog covered green hills, a river, several beaches, 
 and 
 multiple walks of shame (despite my 28t ring) on remote but 
 ridiculously 
 steep hills. Some of the single lane roads were so remote that I 
 didn't see 
 another soul for miles. All the good stuff that fills you with 
 gratefulness 
 and remind you of how lucky you are to be living a paradise like 
 California 
 (with 10% state income tax, mind you). 

 Anyways - enough words, here are some of my favorite pictures 
 
  from 
 the ride... 

 Best
 Kushan
