[RBW] Re: Closet Sale - Nitto Racks and stem, Sugino Crank

[Collin A]

Alrighty, not too many nibbles on the listing, so I guess the prices were a 
bit much. I've updated them below to basically cover shipping now. Also, 
feel free to make offers you believe are fair!

1. *Nitto/Riv Basket Rack - $220 shipped*: In very good condition, and was 
used on my Wife's Homer until she realized she disliked carrying stuff and 
then I carried our picnic and beach supplies on my Appaloosa. I used it on 
and off with a basket exclusively and it worked very well for that purpose. 
The top if the platform's nickel plating is still fully intact, with almost 
no sign of a basket every being attached to it. I've got a slightly 
modified (I cut a hole in it to make room for my lights) basket that I can 
include as well to get you rolling if you don't already have a basket.

2. *Nitto 32R rear rack - $200 shipped*: Again, a beautiful nitto rack with 
little use. I used it on a couple tours/trips, but it is in great 
condition. Has provisions for a rear light and has a separate deck for a 
top load and panniers.

3. *Sugino XD Triple Crank with 50/40/25 chainrings 170mm - $60 shipped: *Older 
sugino crank that has been well loved on an old commuter that has long 
since been converted to SS (yay flatlands of Sacramento), but with newer 
used-but-not-worn chainrings. Tapers and threads are in working condition. 
Standard chainring spacing too, not the slightly weird offset ones of the 
newer sugino cranks that require sugino-only chainrings.

4. *Nitto Tallux Stem 120mm length and 25.4 clamp - $40 shipped*: Another 
well-loved piece of gear that has lived on 3 Rivendells now! That means 
that there are some markings along the stem showing previous insertion 
heights...not the prettiest, but doesn't affect the function of the stem 
obviously. Photos are of it on my commuter still, but it is ready to ship 
out.

[RBW] Re: Bike check: Mike Varley's Tesch road bike

[Jeffrey Arita]

My middle brother's passion is photography, and yes, he takes amazing 
images, too - he loves the fall colors.  Your photos of summers in 
Tennessee are inspirational: my wife and I just might have to plan a 
cyclo-touring trip to check out those sights.

I recall my older sister buying Paul Simon's "There Goes Rhymin' Simon" LP 
(yeah, 33-1/3rd) BITD.  *Kodachrome *- a classic!!

Later,

Jeff

Thanks, Jeff! 
I took a pretty long photography break but I'm starting to feel the itch 
again. I have a hard time simply taking pictures of my rides, it turns into 
going on rides to take pictures which for me, isn't the point of riding. I 
think that's the great thing about film cameras since you don't get a redo, 
you just gotta ride on, but I don't have that equipment...yet. Digital's so 
much easier to upload and edit, too. Hmph.

[RBW] Re: New 650b Rims from Crust

[Lance Terry]

I’ve been using the 700c version of these for a few months on several 
different bikes. The rear did go out of true not too long after I got them. 
I was as kind of surprised, but trued them up and no problems since. I 
liked the price point too with the front hub. I was able to set them up 
tubeless with no problems either.

 I have a pair of the 700c complete wheelsets and I probably put them 
 through more rough stuff than they were intended to be on. 

 I've ridden them for about 500-600 miles, about 40% gravel (nothing 
 super rough) and 60% road in the Oakland/Berkeley Hills. I ride my bikes 
 kind of hard, with a lot of out of the saddle, high torque efforts. I'm 
 never riding any trails that I'd be more comfortable on a front suspension 
 bike on. The wheels were machine built, so they went out of true rather 
 quickly which was expected. At ~200 miles, I gave them a little touch true 
 to keep them laterally true. But shortly after (~70 miles later), they 
 went 
 out of true again, and I attributed this to my lack of experience truing 
 wheels, it being machine-built wheel, how light the rim is, and/or how 
 hard 
 i'm pushing them. 

 An acquaintance mentioned that he had to true his wheelset about 5 
 times before they stayed true. I'm not super well equipped to true wheels 
 appropriately, so this would have gotten expensive for me to get a shop to 
 do this regularly, so I just got them detensioned/retensioned by a trusted 
 wheel builder. The wheel builder mentioned that the rear hub is a bit 
 crunchy already and he suggested I replace the bearings and clean out the 
 internals to get 'em smooth again. I wasn't thrilled to hear that, but 
 it's 
 all good. 

 Anyways, the wheels are light and really responsive, I like how quickly 
 they spin up, and they're priced really well. But since I'm not a 
 wheelbuilder-type, I think this is the last machine-built wheelset I ever 
 buy. The wheels were pretty, light, and cheap-ish. But as a friend says, 
 strong, light, cheap; you can only pick two.

[RBW] Re: New 650b Rims from Crust

[Guy LeVan]

You are correct, Drew.  The rh is no louder than a White rh, but much 
louder than a 105 or Deore rh.  It is what it is.  What I failed to mention 
was how nice the dynamo front hub is at this price point I like the 
wheelset a bunch.

[RBW] Re: New 650b Rims from Crust

[Drew Henson]

I have a pair on a fairly new crust romanceur, and i like them quite a bit. 
rear hub is no louder than a white industry hub i have on another bike. I 
really like the SP generator hub, i think it's a good value. 

I am curious if the spoke tensioning holds up. I probably have about 100 
miles on them.

 I think this has been brought up in the past, but Crust recently

 Anywho, they are now available to purchase as separate rims rather than

 you

[RBW] Re: New 650b Rims from Crust

[Nikko in Oakland]

I have a pair of the 700c complete wheelsets and I probably put them 
through more rough stuff than they were intended to be on. 

I've ridden them for about 500-600 miles, about 40% gravel (nothing super 
rough) and 60% road in the Oakland/Berkeley Hills. I ride my bikes kind of 
hard, with a lot of out of the saddle, high torque efforts. I'm never 
riding any trails that I'd be more comfortable on a front suspension bike 
on. The wheels were machine built, so they went out of true rather quickly 
which was expected. At ~200 miles, I gave them a little touch true to keep 
them laterally true. But shortly after (~70 miles later), they went out of 
true again, and I attributed this to my lack of experience truing wheels, 
it being machine-built wheel, how light the rim is, and/or how hard i'm 
pushing them. 

An acquaintance mentioned that he had to true his wheelset about 5 times 
before they stayed true. I'm not super well equipped to true wheels 
appropriately, so this would have gotten expensive for me to get a shop to 
do this regularly, so I just got them detensioned/retensioned by a trusted 
wheel builder. The wheel builder mentioned that the rear hub is a bit 
crunchy already and he suggested I replace the bearings and clean out the 
internals to get 'em smooth again. I wasn't thrilled to hear that, but it's 
all good. 

Anyways, the wheels are light and really responsive, I like how quickly 
they spin up, and they're priced really well. But since I'm not a 
wheelbuilder-type, I think this is the last machine-built wheelset I ever 
buy. The wheels were pretty, light, and cheap-ish. But as a friend says, 
strong, light, cheap; you can only pick two.

I am pleased to report that I’ve had a number of inquiries for the bike and 
I am responding in order.

 I am interested in selling my size 55 Bleriot complete. It is a lovely 
 bike to ride. I have the gearing set for steep dirt roads, at which it 
 excels. It rides similar to a Soma San Marcos - very fluid - with a bit 
 more tire clearance (42 v 38). 

 I purchased the Bleriot from a list member in 2017. Our deal was for 
 $1200 including shipping and minus saddle, stem, and handlebars. I am 
 hoping to sell it for essentially the same price with a stem and 
 handlebars 
 included, along with a new freewheel. Sale price is $1,000 complete, 
 including professional packing, plus actual charges for bike flights 
 shipping. Shipping to be determined once packed and the ship-to address is 
 known. I am open to offers if someone wants the frame minus specific 
 components or for local pick-up in Boulder/Denver area. 

 This bike has ample visible beausage - lots of scratches and dings -- 
 without any serious damage.  The only trouble it has given me is that the 
 rear brake hanger can get in the way of the seat bolt binder. I have to 
 position it very carefully to make sure the seat post does not slip. 

 Lots of pictures here 
 
 .

 *Details*:
 Size 55 measured center to center (which is a good fit for my 82 pbh)
 Saddle as pictured is 71 1/2 , measured diagonally from the center of 
 the crank arm
 Geometry chart 
 
 Velocity Synergy 650B 32h rims
 Standover about 81 Fatty Rumpkin tires (great tires! plenty of life 
 left in them)
 Shimano Dynamo front hub DH 3N71 
 B Lumotec Lyt (25 lumens)
 Phil Wood rear hub
 Campagnolo-Brev-Int headset
 Phil Wood bottom bracket (according to previous owner)
 Technomic stem 7
 Nitto handlebars -- likely B136 Rando Touring Bar size 42  
 (very
  
 comfortable)
 Sugino XD triple 48x36x24
 Shimano Sora FD
 7 speed freewheel (not a free hub / cassette) SunRun 14x34 (relatively 
 new)
 Paul Components center-pull brakes
 Shimano XT RD
 Tektro brake levers
 Shimano bar-end shifters

 Excluded items: saddle, pedals and tail-light
 Bottle cages - optional (no charge either way)

 Happy to answer any questions.

[RBW] Re: Susie's Limits

[Johnny Alien]

IMO if the weight difference between a Susie and a Gus is as small as 
Rivendell says and there is no ride difference as stated by Rivendell and 
this is really a problem then they would only sell the Gus.  The Susie is 
still a robust frame. I think most of the "get this if you weigh less" 
marketing is just to make a similar frame desirable to people that don't do 
the tough stuff but like the look of it. With a rider at 150 I would think 
that should not have been too much weight on that frame. But I literally 
know absolutely nothing about frame design.

[RBW] Re: WTB - 58cm Bosco or 60cm tosco

[Ray Varella]

Rivendell offered the Bosco bullmoose in 1 1/8th threadless back in 2017 
when they had the first run of tandems. 
Not sure if they still offer it. 
I would consider selling the one I have if you strike out with them.

 Rivendell Ride on the KalHaven Trail!

 Brought to you by: the Lone Wolf and the Platypus Rider, in Kalamazoo,
 Michigan.

 ourselves in the town’s quaint little park; you can bring refreshments or
 buy them at the little country store across from the park. From there we
 will head back to Kalamazoo and rendezvous at Latitude 42, a local brewery
 that has a patio so we can eye the bikes and enjoy a meal.

 6101 W Main St
 
 Kalamazoo, MI 49009
 


 Hope to see you there! Message here with questions.

[RBW] Re: Craigslist (and others) Bikes For Sale: 3

[Joe Bernard]

Joe (that's me) was wrong, I hadn't noticed the head lugs. As someone else 
opined it's likely a custom in the All Rounder style.

[RBW] Riv Handlebar choices for my Kona Sutra Conversion

[Randall Evans]

I thought I wanted to go back to drop handlebars after owning a few hybrid 
bikes. I bought  a Kona Sutra which I really like but I have come to the 
realization that I don't like drop handle bars because of the straight arms 
and the weight on my wrists. I raised them up 2" with a stem extender and I 
still find my self in an uncomfortable position with limited  positions for 
my hands and the lower position is too low for extended periods of time. I 
mostly ride on roads but would like to still be able to go on trails near 
our house. 
The handlebars I am considering are: Choco, Tosco and the Albatross. I 
think if I lowered the stem to it original height and had a bar with some 
rise I could get some slant on the end grips. I would like to try the Tosco 
but its out of stock for months, so I am leaning towards the Albatross 
which I can get now. I want to reuse my bar end shifters but I think I will 
get smaller brake levers to mount half way down the straight bars. 
Anybody converted a Kona Sutra gravel bike to Riv Alt. Bars?

Re: [RBW] Re: long wheelbase, Hillibikes + tray racks

[Brian Turner]

Now that I have my Gus frame in-hand, I can confirm that the wheelbase of 
the Medium (54cm) frame is 50". Kuat's specs for my rack, the NV 2.0, says 
it will carry bikes with wheelbases up to 50" with the front wheel cradles 
in the "down" position... so fingers crossed that spec is correct in 
practice. I'll need to wait until I can get a wheelset on it to test to 
make sure, but at least now I'm hopeful!

 My apologies if this has been asked before, but has anyone had any 
 success carrying their Gus / Susie / Clem / Appaloosa / Platy on a 
 hitch-mounted tray rack such as the Kuat NV 2.0 (my rack)? I'm about to 
 take ownership of a Gus very soon, and I'm wondering if there's any chance 
 it'll work somehow. Looking at the numbers, it doesn't seem like these 
 bikes would possibly fit, as the rear wheel would stick out too far for 
 the 
 retaining straps to effectively grab the rear wheel.

 My next question is, has anyone found a way to rig this type of rack so 
 that it can safely carry these long wheelbase bikes?

 thanks!

Re: [RBW] Hillibikes are so close!

[Brian Turner]

This color is incredible! Nice build. I just received a NOS Gus from the 
previous batch (mine is Riv blue), and I'm kinda curious as to why the 
little instrument graphics were moved to the chainstays - particularly the 
driveside stays - since folks routinely wrap the stay to protect the paint 
from chain slap. If I had one of these newer models, I would be bummed to 
have to cover up those cool little graphics.

[RBW] Re: Craigslist (and others) Bikes For Sale: 3

[A. D. M.]

Interesting, Joe. Looks like most All-rounders did not use the “custom” 
head tube lugs, but at least a few did. 

Wasn’t the Frank Jones Sr advertised as the only production bike to use 
those? How often did this happen? How would one tell an all-rounder apart 
from a custom?

Best,

Aaron in El Paso

Hey Nikko, I am in fact! It's the 700C version.

[RBW] Re: Susie's Limits

[Brian Turner]

I'm guessing all those heavy containers filled with liquid (presumably) 
concentrated in that one central area of the frame created a lot of flex 
and stress compared to all the weight up front and on the rear. I bet that 
thing was flexing like crazy with every pedal stroke. I tried to find it, 
but it reminded me of a photo posted on one of the Riv blogs a while back 
of an orange Susie that was loaded down probably more than any other bike 
I've seen in my life - it even had a skateboard stowed on it. I remember 
thinking when I saw it, "I'm not sure that frame was meant to carry that 
much weight"... and it looks like the guy who broke his frame was loaded 
down similarly.

I like to load me bikes down, and I occasionally ride some rowdy terrain 
with heavy loads. That's why I went with the Gus!

[RBW] Seeking Sacramento-Based Bike Purchase Help!

[Jordan Rosenblum]

Hi folks,

I barely post in this group, so feel a little awkward about asking for help 
from the community, but here goes...

I am hoping someone in the Sacramento area can help facilitate the purchase 
of a Hunqapillar fork that's for sale there. The seller is shy to ship, and 
I live in Portland, Oregon.

I am looking for someone willing to drop it off at a local bike shop. I 
haven't looked into a specific shop that would be willing to pack and ship 
yet, so if folks have suggestions for that, they are more than welcome.

I would be happy to pay for your assistance, send you a bag of coffee from 
a favorite Portland roaster, or simply pay it forward with good Karma! 

Thanks!
Jordan

Re: [RBW] Susie's Limits

[Brian Turner]

I see three 64oz bottles and what appears to be a 36 or 40oz bottle. So, if 
they were full of liquid, and accounting for the weight of the bottles 
themselves, you're looking at approx. 20 lbs. just in that area of the bike 
alone. I'm no engineer, but that seems like a lot of excess weight to me - 
for a bike that has specific stated weight limitations. It also looks like 
he's carrying 1.5 - 2x that amount elsewhere on his bike. Is it an 
excessive amount of stuff? Who's to say. Whenever I'm riding, I'm typically 
bikepacking. The last 5-day trip I did, my entire gear weight (including 
bags + water) was less than 25 lbs.
