[RBW] Re: What's up with welded Nitto parts?

[Eric Marth]

Circles and Blue Lug ship to the US super, super fast. As I mentioned 
recently on iBOB, I typically receive packages from BL and Circles in fewer 
days than I do from Rivendell. 

Sim Works is the in-house brand of Circles, they have stuff custom run 
mostly by other manufacturers, many in Japan. They have a US office in 
Portland, Oregon located inside the Chris King manufacturing warehouse.  

It makes sense to me that these super shops in Japan have an easier time 
stocking Nitto products, especially the odd and esoteric ones. There are 
certain stems, racks and other bits I haven't seen at any US bike shops. 

If you're ever looking for Nitto parts it's always a good idea to check BL 
and Circles. There might be other good shops, too, I just don't know of 
them... yet!

[RBW] Re: Red Toyo Atlantis?

[Joe Bernard]

Update: My sense of the passage of time is a little murky these days..it's 
2023?? I think the Toyo pointy-lug Atlantis may have been around 'til about 
2010. Somewhere in that decade or shortly after the lugs got round, then 
construction moved to Waterford.

i do not know the exact arrangement, but there seems to be a connection

sometimes find the same item there,.  I've also ordered from them and its 
pretty well sorted, other than high cost of shipping for some items.

[JohnS]

Thank you Jeff for sharing. Eric had mentioned Circles bike shop in his 
MB-2 build, so I appreciate the link.

Is it just me or is it kind of crazy that we have to search the world over 
to find a particular bike part It shouldn't have to be this hard to 
find current production parts. I could understand if it were some odd, 
vintage part that was out of production for decades, but really, production 
parts not available in the US. Ugh, rant off.

[RBW] FS: Bassi bikes Le Montreal (medium income sub for Riv Roadini?)

[Ahmed Elgasseir]

Hi All,
I am thinning the herd to make cash for a new build . Up for sale is a 
perfect condition barely ridden Bassi Bikes “Le Montreal” with upgraded 
wheels, tires, and pedals.
55cm 650b like new. I’ve only ridden it a few times. Covid impulse buy. 
Purchased brand new directly from C&L Cycles and shipped to me.
Upgraded Velocity wheels, MKS pedals, and sweet Panaracer tan wall tires 
for that look. Light, all steel, fast, and elegant. $1350 or best offer. I 
prefer local (SF Bay Area)

[RBW] Re: Nice Rivendell, Goodrich and Sevens for Sale

['William Watson' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I can’t help with the story of the Goodrich, but I can say I have a 
randonneur that he made and it’s lovely, definitely my favorite ride. I 
agree the triple and braze-ons for a rear rack but no low rider fronts or 
3rd water bottle boss seem to mean sport touring. I bet it’s awesome.

Curt’s no longer building frames, but I bet if you emailed him with the 
serial number he could let you know the dimensions and the build 
intentions. Also, to decipher if it’s under his brand or riv, mine has CG 
in the serial number. So that might be a good, simple clue. 

Not sure if I can help more, but it’s  cool bike and there’s not many out 
there.

[RBW] Re: Nice Rivendell, Goodrich and Sevens for Sale

[Matt Isaacs]

FYI, I think is the same guy who was selling a couple Riv frames for a 
deceased friend back in November. A Roadeo custom painted sage green and a 
Heron custom painted by Joe Bell. If so, the seller has a very active ebay 
account selling vintage motorcycle stuff and has a good seller rating.

[RBW] Re: ISO: Toyo Atlantis

[SPC]

I have a Toyo Atlantis. It is, I think, a 58. I bought it from someone 
local to me and it is just too big for me. I have an 83PBH and stand over 
height is about the same. I am going off the geo chart I found on 
cyclofiend.com. It is 700c. Let me know if you’d like me to grab some 
measurements or pictures etc. I am open to selling the frame set or 
complete if you think the size is ok for you.

Re: [RBW] Re: Gus and Susie ride off into the sunset

[Steve]

Ron, judging from the pic your Gus looks to be one of filet brazed models? 
 Nicely done build! I've been thinking about a Homer, but more and more the 
ATB qualities of the Gus/Susie and even the Platypus are looking 
attractive, and I think would be a better successor for my hard tail carbon 
fiber MTB that I've decided to part ways with.

 Fair point(s). As you can imagine, the full suspension bike has a 
 pretty high bb, though not as high as current comparable bikes. I rarely 
 experienced pedal strokes even pedaling through stuff that at my age I 
 probably should not be doing!:)
 I just looked at available solutions & thought it might be beneficial 
 to shorten the cranks on the Gus to approximate the clearance I enjoyed on 
 the suspension bike. To do so would require a 550mm crank arm.
 To be honest, I had one particular & disconcerting pedal strike riding 
 the Clem that really got my attention. This was a very familiar sweeping 
 turn but off camber section that I always pedal through. The pedal dug 
 into 
 the uphill side of the bank & I nearly crashed. It was just so unexpected. 
 I’ve accepted the notion that I may have to ride a bit slower & less 
 aggressive than I am used to. But to the degree that I can minimize these 
 things with the right choice now seems smart.

 I understand your intent to avoid crank or pedal contact, but 
 personally I wouldn’t base my crank length on the potential for pedal 
 strikes on rocks and roots. In this case, I would fall into the camp of 
 being conscious of the terrain, refining your technique, and being mindful 
 of your own personal skill level. If you’re getting lots of strikes with 
 say, a 170mm or 165mm crank, I wouldn’t be confident that going even 
 shorter than that is going to necessarily solve your issue.

 Legit question. I am moving from a full suspension trail bike to the

 higher BB than the Clem & the Gus is 29 x 2.6. So yes, I am trying to be

 And yes, I know technique comes into play here, and I am looking

Throw some masking tape over a flat head or whatever you use to spread the 
stem to prevent scratches. I didn’t find the towel rack bars tight to get 
on a nitto dirt drop stem, but your experience may vary. 

Best,

Unfortunately, it was just a short trail … and I’m sure the skiers were happy 
for me not to be on it much. We received another 15cm of snow after that, so I 
think my tracks were covered.

Agreed! I have a green Sam being built up in Los Angeles for me, and as much as 
I enjoy winter riding, I’m looking forward to getting to LA in March and 
enjoying my new Sam in some warmer weather :-)

> We had some snowfall last night and today:
Wow, such a beautiful valley!  The snow bank your bike is in makes me think of 
the biggest problem I have with winter riding, which is that the roads get a 
lot narrower so the cars get closer.

I recently bought the MKS Monarch pedals wings; the side extensions,  for

Re: [RBW] Lambda Add-ons

[R. Alexis]

I have two sets of Rivendell Grip King/Lamda pedals. Bought them on the 
presale years ago. Got the  Pedal Wings last week and mountedthem on both 
sets of pedals. They fit just fine. have not ridden them yet. The Grip 
Kings worked well for me on the Bontrager Race single speed I have them on. 
That bike is my jump on and ride, no fuss bike. In the initial build this 
bike had some Onza H.O. pedals, then swapped to some VP rat trap type BMX 
pedals that I salvaged and swapped the 1/2" axles out for 9/16" ones from 
some broken plastic/nylon pedals.
