Re: [RBW] Re: Good weekend on the Hillborne

[Jason Fuller]

Okay I've already done a bunch of updating on the wee website - haven't put 
this one up yet but I put the original Bombadil ride report from a year-ish 
ago up! This is the "un-cut" version before whittling it down to fit within 
google groups' maximum post size.  Also allows for clicking to hi-res 
photos, which is nice. 
https://www.jasonmytail.com/2021/12/19/seymour-valley-loop/

Of note, the partially-complete Riv timeline is on the site and I'm 
starting to populate a bikes summary with links to a writeup on each bike 
(very much wip)

[RBW] Susie 53cm vs. Gus 54cm headtube length

[Paul in Vermont]

Hello!

If you have a 53cm Susie or a 54cm Gus, can you please measure the headtube 
length and let me know what it is?

I'm 5'11 and own a 56cm Susie 29'er which I use as my daily upright ride to 
work and groceries. I love it so much, and I'm trying to figure out if I 
can go a size down and build up a slightly more aggressive 650B hill bike 
for fun as well. 

Thank you! 

Paul

[RBW] Did Rivendell publish a Hillibike catalog?

[Ray Varella]

I know there have been several times it was mentioned but I don’t recall 
seeing a catalog devoted to the Hillibikes. 
I’m sure if it exists, it would contain some worthwhile information. 

Can anyone confirm whether or not it was produced?

Thank you 
Ray

[RBW] Re: Why did you buy your first Riv?

[Erik]

I rode Bridgestones back in the day, starting with my first new mountain 
bike, an MB-4.  My local shop was a Bridgestone dealer so I saw all of 
models come through over the years.  I eventually purchased an RB-2 as well 
and pined away over the XO-1.   I loved the Bridgestone catalogs and 
Grant's writing / philosophy on bikes and bike riding.  I broke the frame 
on the MB-4 eventually and got a warrantied replacement at the tail end of 
Bridgestone in North America.  This was a while after they were available 
retail.  They replaced my MB-4 with an MB-2 frame and I rode that bike and 
my RB for many, many years as my primary around-town and road bikes.  By 
that time I was into suspension on my mountain bikes and went down that 
rabbit hole for another decade or so.

I found this group in 2010 or so when I was getting disillusioned with my 
big mountain bikes and the suspension arms race and was looking for a new 
direction with my riding.  During this time my primary riding was commuting 
to work and exploring the back roads where I live, all things better done 
on a bike other than full suspension all mountain machines.  I finally made 
the leap in 2017 when I found myself on good financial footing and bought 
an Appaloosa.  An Atlantis followed that.  Then a Hillborne.  Then I traded 
the Hillborne for a Susie.  Now a Gus on the way.  I sold my last modern 
bike last year and used the funds to buy wheels and fancy bling for the 
Appaloosa. Getting into Rivendells has totally changed how I think about my 
bikes, bike riding, and how they fit into my life. I'm so glad to that I 
just get to go casually exploring and wandering now instead of dressing up 
and for a RIDE.  Bikes are a bigger part of my life than ever because they 
are just something that fit into everything I do now, from getting 
groceries to commuting to wandering the many trails in my local woods. 

-Erik

Hmm good idea Eric, I do have jasonmytail.com which is where the Rivendell
timeline project is in progress as well. It's a bare-bones website but I
can definitely have a ride report blog section!  Something to do over the
holiday break perhaps.  Thanks for the kind words Eric and Brendon!

[RBW] Re: FS - Susie W Longbolts - 56(Large) - Orange

[Collin A]

You can, but Riv recently initiated a 10% "restocking fee" to discourage 
that. That was back in August, so not sure that is still the case.

[RBW] Re: FS - Susie W Longbolts - 56(Large) - Orange

[Erik]

I was really tempted to make you an offer, but wasn't positive I would land 
a Gus! Let me know if you want to cancel your order and take this lovely 
orange bike instead.  :) 

To answer a couple of questions that have come through: 

   - I have an 87.5 PBH.  My saddle height is 75-76cm.  My legs are long 
   for my height, so I've been running this with a 30mm extension Discord stem 
   and a Tumbleweed Persuader bar.  I initially set it up with a 50mm stem and 
   a Jones bar with more backsweep (shown in the photos).  The reach was great 
   in both configurations.  I tried a Bosco but prefer less angle for off-road 
   riding and tried my nitto bullmoose, but didn't like the forward extension. 
  
   - I do have other components available, but no brakes or cranksets at 
   this time.  I have a variety of 9-speed cassettes, some good derailleurs, 
   and SunRace thumbshifters. Happy to send along details. 

I'm going to be posting this on Craiglist later today, but wanted to give 
the list members the first shot at it!  Let me know if you are interested.

[RBW] Re: Why did you buy your first Riv?

[Chris Halasz]

Back in the day of rec.bicycles.tech, mid-90s, I saw a note about Grant 
starting his own bike business. I'd like everything he'd done at 
Bridgestone, had a beloved RB-1, and  received one of his first catalogs. 

Loved every bit of it. I'd been racing road and mountain bikes, and had 
become disillusioned with so much of what I was experiencing: the training 
and technology treadmill weren't for me any more. Something about seeing 
John Tomac's drop-bar Yeti affected a response and made we wonder how much 
of this new stuff really made a difference in the experience. 

I was reading a lot of posts from Jobst on rec.bikes, ended up converting a 
Ritchey for multi-purpose rides (always loved Tom's bikes too), then sold 
that and was just riding my RB-1 on and off-road. Kept reading about longer 
chainstays, kept seeing all of my friends with their full-suspension bikes 
abandon the sport. 

I spoke with Grant a few times, and did not have the opportunity to get one 
of the bikes until 2003 or so - a Road Standard. Then a long-low, a 
Rambouillet, a Bleriot for me and one for my wife, and finally a Bombadil. 
Took a hiatus as my work took me bi-modal, and was solely on a Brompton for 
about ten years. 

Just got a Platypus, and what an incredible evolution has occurred in that 
time. I thought that first Road Standard was amazing. The Platy is the most 
fun bicycle I've ever ridden, most beautiful bike I've ever seen.

[RBW] Re: FS - Susie W Longbolts - 56(Large) - Orange

I’d have jumped on this if it was listed before the pre sale! Haha. I’m 
sure it won’t last long. Good luck with the Gus!

[RBW] For Sale :: TK [long]

[David Hallerman]

Hello!

TK – short for “to come” – is a publishing staple I learned about in my 
computer magazine editing days. As you worked on a piece, you might 
insert “TK” in place of a word, name, phrase, sentence, or paragraph as 
a reminder to indicate you hadn’t forgotten anything, but you just 
hadn’t fleshed it out yet.


So with the holidays here, I do not want to dive into my boxes of bike 
things, take photos and write up descriptions, pack said boxes, and then 
deal with or further burden the busy national shipping system. Instead, 
come the new year, I’ll be looking to sell some of the following 
categories of parts and such, a mix of new and mildly used, but now all 
just TK, to be fleshed out in 2022.


*pedals*: mainly Shimano mt. SPD, new & used
*derailleurs*: mainly Shimano 9-speed mt. & road
*brakes*: cantilevers, sidepulls, levers
*bottom brackets*: all British thread, mainly new
*clothing*: some wool, including new gabardine knickers
*tires*: three pairs 700x35, plus some new road
*cassettes*: mainly Shimano 9-speed, some 8-speed, mainly new
*chains*: mainly Shimano 9-speed, high-end 7/8-speed, all new
*bar tape*: leather and not-leather, many colors, several brands, all new
*tools*: got some more, plus some nice price drops
*chainrings*: 110/74s from TA, Sugino, Vuelta, RaceFace, Salsa, more, 
all new

*headsets*: threaded 1-inch, mainly new
*books*: some classics and other cycling publications I think you’ll enjoy
*forks*: 1-inch and 1-1/8 inch, carbon with metal steerers
*seatposts*: mainly 27.2mm, plus others
*stems*: mainly threadless, some quill, both 26.0 & 31.8 clamps
*bicycles*: about 6 steel and titanium road bikes and framesets from 
Bridgestone, Ibis, Burley, and Litespeed, all sized around 56cm


Please think of this post as a friendly head’s up. Or as the cycling 
stuff equivalent of “save the date.” And if you’re looking for something 
particular in any of those 17 categories, send me a note; it could be 
mutually helpful.


For now, happy solstice season to you all! May your days be well-stocked 
with more light.


Smiles,

Dave, who if he had a tagline in this peer-to-peer world of buying and 
selling bike stuff it would be “Let my overbuying become your bargain” 
which is especially true as he and his cycling wife downsize

+ + + + + + + +
Hudson Valley NY

P.S. We’re just downsizing. We’re still cycling. Even when these sales 
are done, we will still have many pedals, derailleurs, brakes, bottom 
brackets, clothing, tires, cassettes, chains, bar tape, tools, 
chainrings, headsets, forks, seatposts, stems, and bicycles.


P.P.S. If you’ve read this far, thanks! Plus, maybe you can help me. I 
want to buy a Brooks B.17 titanium-rail saddle, antique brown or honey, 
new or near-new. I’ll pay a good price and/or I have a black ti-rail 
B.17 to trade.

[brendonoid]

Another great ride report, Jason. You always manage to capture the magic of 
a good bike ride with your photography. Thankyou.
