Re: [RBW] Craigslist, etc 2023

[Joe Bernard]

Am I understanding that you're selling your not-yet-delivered Homer frame 
for $300 less than you just paid? Maybe I'm reading it wrong.

[RBW] Re: Style on the bike

[Sarah Carlson]

It's not very glamorous, but when I wear wide leg pants I just roll it up 
ridiculously high and take off. With the other stuff going on in the bay 
area I'm sure my rolled up pant leg is not going to catch anyone's 
attention. No bike grease yet!

I noticed this just a while ago:

I have no association with the OP whatsoever. 

Is this going to be of a great concern or not ?

[RBW] Re: Tire advice for my Toyo homer/max tire size

[Mack Penner]

Hi James,
My 67cm Toyo Homer wouldn't clear a knobby 44, I don't think. With Dyad 
rims (18.6mm internal), I've run 43mm Gravel King SKs (not exactly knobby) 
and that was just fine, although it was admittedly very tight at the 
chainstays, and if I recall those tires were measuring in the neighbourhood 
of 41.??mm actual when mounted. When I was running wider rims (Crust, 23mm 
internal), 40mm was about the max in the rear, and even a 38 wasn't exactly 
swimming in mms of clearance. In the fork, a knobby 44 would probably clear 
(I ran the 43mm Gravel King SK on the Crust rim with no clearance concerns 
at all in the fork). FWIW, I think my next Homer tires will be 40mm 
Challenge Strada Bianca.

[RBW] Tire advice for my Toyo homer/max tire size

[James]

My Barlow-pass tires blew a sidewall the other day and I'm in the market.  
I mostly ride pavement but take it on train and across fields on occasion.  
I have my eyes set on the Rene Herse 700x44 Manastash, the Soma Cazadero, 
the Rene Herse Hurricane Ridge, or Schwalbe G-One R or Overland.

Anyone got any experience with these tires they can speak to?  Do ya'll 
know what size a 700c Toyo homer accommodates?  Not sure a knobby 44 would 
fit...

Anyone potentially interested in my Homer Hilsen frameset? Thinking I'm 
going to switch it up. $1450 and I'll box it up ship it out straight from 
Rivendell HQ. Or someone can come by the shop and pick it up.

[RBW] Re: Babies on bikes

[David Pulsipher]

I started as soon as they could hold their head up to have a helmet on, so 
typically about 5-6 months.

Using a DIY kid seat adapter on my Surly Big Dummy - raving success with 
all four of my children.

[RBW] Re: Riv Riders Interactive Map is Live!

[John Rinker]

I had a question about editing your information on the Riv Rider's 
Interactive Map. In case you happen to move, get a new bike, sell an 
existing bike, change your riding preferences, or get a new nickname you 
can update your information on the map.

Just go to the Map of Rivendell Riders 
, click on the 
'Riv Rider Registration' and you will be given an option to edit your info.

Unfortunately, this doesn't automatically update on the map itself, but 
only in the Google Sheet. So, if you want to see your changes on the map, 
PM me and I'll have to do it manually. Haven't figured out the 
auto-update...yet!

On a side note, I did use the map to find a rider in Spokane who turned me 
onto some very fine riding in the area. 

Cheers, John

I really love the butternut color! I lean toward not thinking the lugs are

Bill, I absolutely employed the 90s tactic of pegging those pants! And they

Wow, flashback to Bugle Boys. 

When I ride to/from work, I just roll up my pants (without pegging), and 
often just walk around all day with the one leg still rolled up.

For longer riding to ride, I don't wear kit any more. Might wear something 
with a chamois but underneath "regular" shorts. Otherwise am wearing pretty 
much whatever I'd normally wear off the bike.

For shoes, though, when riding to ride, I got some of those Adidas 
Velosambas. They've got a recessed spot for 2-bolt SPD cleats but I ride 
them without cleats, on pedals with clips and straps. So I don't have to 
swap pedals for when I don't want to wear the Velosambas, e.g. for work. 
The Velosambas would be fine for a normal day but are stiff enough that I 
wouldn't choose to wear them off the bike. Which makes them better than 
normal sneakers while riding. Stiffer than the Five Tens I have for flat 
pedal MTB.

[RBW] Homers Going Live in a Few Minutes

[Chester]

Anyone getting in on the latest batch of Homers?

https://www.rivbike.com/products/homer

I fought off the urge to get one by realizing that I'm still needing to 
push myself to find time to ride my Roadini more, that it probably suits me 
better, and the main reason why I have a strong urge to get the Homer is 
the cosmetics of the fully lugged frame.

Scarce garage space helps dull the G.A.S. too.

Re: [RBW] Re: Style on the bike

[John Dewey]

Great photos, Patrick. Those De Vlaeminck brothers, oh my, such great
memories and riding real bicycles.  Brian Chapman and a few others will
still build you one of those gorgeous machines. I pine for those days we
could walk into a good bike shop and grab one of those things off a hook on
the ceiling.

[RBW] FS: Technomic Deluxe 7cm stem

[Bill Lindsay]

I picked up a nice Romulus here, and it came with a 7cm Technomic Deluxe 
stem.  I've set up a different cockpit, so this stem is for sale.  It wants 
a 26.0mm handlebar.  There is some scratching on the top of the clamp, like 
somebody worked on the bike "Pasadena style".  This has the 190mm Technomic 
Deluxe quill, not the 225mm Tallux quill.  

https://www.flickr.com/photos/45758191@N04/53186524467
https://www.flickr.com/photos/45758191@N04/53187436085

https://www.flickr.com/photos/45758191@N04/53187445140

My rule of used stuff (TM) is that mechanically perfecto, cosmetically used 
stuff should always be half-retail.  So half retail from a Tallux gets us 
to $44 plus actual shipping.

[RBW] Re: Aging cyclists (was upright bars and geometry)

[J S]

Ted, very timely. I took my Saluki out the other day and yesterday my back 
was screaming. I just turned 72 and my back has been an issue since my 
40’s, why I started riding Rivendells.  Today I will ride my Hillborne. To 
make it fair I took the 48mm tires off and put 42’s on like on the Saluki. 
Maybe the Hillborne geometry is better. Both bikes are set up the same, 2 
differences are tires and cranks. I have a Sugino on the Hillborne and a TA 
Zephyr on the Saluki. I got the Saluki last year to replace a Bleriot which 
rode great and transferred all of the components. I thought the geometry 
was similiar if not the same as the Saluki. By tomorrow morning I will know 
how my back did.
