Whoops, tires are 27mm...excuse the typo. On Sunday, January 5, 2014 1:19:43 PM UTC-5, Adam DeFayette wrote: $3750; price includes professional packing shipping. Pictures: https://plus.google.com/photos/101616295581563373309/albums/5965472136228528865 This is a very lightly used Quickbeam Green Roadeo. I purchased this from the first run of Roadeos, and only road it a few hundred miles over the last few summers in Upstate New York. This green/cream-colored frame is offset with lots of antique brown leather, and nickel-colored components. The overall effect is very beautiful; one of my best designed bikes, and I'm sorry to have to sell it. Why I'm selling? My wife and I are are expecting a child soon, and I am liquidating my stuff so that we can put away some savings. I will miss this bike, and really wish that I had ridden it more. Everything is in like-new condition. There are a couple tiny scratches in the paint, and I have pictured them - nothing serious or very noticeable, and certainly no dents. Honestly, I did not even notice them until looking the bike over for sale. The frame was treated with T9 per Rivendell's method. Estimated value new is upwards of $4750. Save yourself a grand, and the wait time! I have included pictures from various times in the bike's life - the most recent pictures are the indoors series against the brick wall.

[RBW] Portland Bound
Greetings Portlanders, My wife and I are currently traveling around the San Juan islands on her Atlantis and my Hillborne. I wrote the list some time ago for recommendations about our journey and a few Portland locals suggested getting together while we were in town. We still have a week or so on the road, riding primarily through the cascades between here and Portland, and I thought I should throw out a potential time to meet up. Our plan is to arrive in Portland sometime around the 18th. I was thinking it would be great to grab a beer with some of you good folks on the evening of Friday the 19th. I've heard Velo Cult is a great place but am open to other suggestions. Anyone game? Warmly, Adam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

We'll arrive in Portland on either the 17th or 18th of July and have two or three nights booked in the Hawthorne Hostel.

Thanks all. There are some great resources listed above and I've got some maps to order and some planning to do. I am now thinking of taking the amtrak to mt.

[RBW] San Juan Islands Tour Advice
Greetings All, Planning a tour this summer for my wife and I up to the San Juan Islands. We have about two weeks to spend on my Hillborne and her Atlantis exploring the area. We live in Berkeley and are planning to take the amtrak up and then ferry and cycle around. I know there are a bunch of NorWesters on this list and wanted to ask some advice. We'll likely try to spend at least a day or two in Portland on our way back as well. Is the Seattle Amtrak the best station to get off? If so, does this look like a good route to get to the ferry? http://goo.gl/maps/uxOqM Any campsites along that route that are recommended? Any words of wisdom about the islands themselves (things we must see/avoid)? Looking forward to sharing images with the list when we return and also open to any recommendations as they emerge.

I'm spending the first week of April with my wife in NYC. We're hoping for good weather and to potentially get some riding in.

I'm spoiled living a short distance from walnut creek where the best shop of them all resides, but it would be cool to check out some interesting shops. Thanks!

[RBW] Trade Big Dummy for a trail-ready riv (plus/minus change?)
I'm about to put my 20 Surly Big Dummy (2009 model with sloped top tube) up for sale so that I can buy a big for foothill trail riding. It'll likely be a Sam, Hunq, or something similar. If you've been wanting to sell your such ride for a BD maybe we can save time on a trade plus/minus money as might be needed. I ride a 61 Hilsen, size-wise. It's the 2010 frame and build kit. Quite a bit nicer than what you'd get today on a new one. Here's a helpful spreadsheet I found detailing the changes: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0ApH2RPeh90GIdG5QVVpWcU8zZVVuSGIyTTljemMzTlEauthkey=CNyXi7UFhl=en#gid=0 Adam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

So...I need a new crank for my drive side. If anyone happens to have an extra single crank arm I'd love to purchase it. Otherwise also interested if anyone has a set. I have chainrings so am covered on that front. They measure 6.5 inches on the inside and 8 inches on the outside. Is that 170mm?

At Sunol we say hi and give a good luck pat on Mayor Bosco. Sunol's actually mayor for a good number of years, now turn into beer tap. We met up with Ted who rode from Livermoore. Ted being the local took charge of taking us through the beautiful riding in near Sunol. We descend down from the ridge into the valley to climb back to the ridge to check out the abandon and haunted Rancho. We get back to Palomares road and we surprisingly met up with Adam and Adam other Rivendell posters on a ride for a picnic. They take the dirt road up to the Rancho as we rode down into the town for lunch. The ride plan was to Walnut Creek but it ended up being a bit too ambitious. Great time.

When I have my Sam set up without racks and noodles it goes fastish. A light wheel set makes all the difference in my mind. With that set up I can keep up with my slower roadie friends. It is a wonderfully versatile bike as I have also thrown racks on and toured for weeks on end. That said you already have a dedicated tourer in the 520 so that might not be such a selling point.

I also have a Trek 520 Touring bike. This bike, obviously, is built for touring. Its not very fast, nor very lively. In short, my Trek isn't much fun to ride. I'm looking for a bike to fit in between these two bikes -- one that will be able to carry a few bags and ride on stone dust bike paths (such as the Erie Canal path), but one that will not feel sluggish to ride (like my Trek). Most of the time, when I see photos of Sams, the bikes seem to be set up to be workhorses -- carrying a collection of bags and racks. I want to be able to do this with a bike (thus the attraction to the bike in the first place). However, I would like to use noodle bars and go on fast-ish club and recreational rides as well. In fact, the vast majority of rides will be 20 - 30 mile out for fun and exercise rides. Is the Sam well suited to this as well, or will it likely feel more like my Trek 520? Most likely I would set up a Sam with Noodle bars and tires such as Roly-Poly or Jack Browns. I'm also considering having a custom built randonneur bike -- one that will be able to carry some load but also feel quick and lively to ride. However, if the Sam will meet my needs, it certainly would be a less expensive alternative. I don't think that my body has any proportions that would make me difficult to fit (5ft, 11 inches tall, PBH 87.5, arm length 35 inches) so I don't think that I *need* to go custom (though it sure is fun to do so!). Any thoughts on whether a Sam would be a good choice would be appreciated. Sean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Rex, I am sure I could go one size up, and considered it very strongly for some time, but this size definitely works. It is great to have the copious amount of standover height that I do, with a pbh of 84, as I ride trails and tour loaded often.

If some want to take roads, others want to take dirt, great. Juniper is just shy of 3000 feet. I tend to ride up on the roads, and take dirt back down from around the junction. Just because I like to get there before too late in the day, and enjoy climbing on smooth pavement. The dirt trail to Juniper Camp, if you're talking about burma road, is entirely a pushing up the hill affair--I did it once and won't again. Too steep to be much more than a good workout and opportunity to mumble to oneself. It'll be hot, and if we're lucky there'll be tarantulas out. They're nice fellows, so you won't need a tent so long as you've got a warm enough bag. Maybe we should just meet at RBW, seeing as this is the RBW list. I'm fine with that one too, and I imagine there'll be a few last minute things folks'll want to pick up.

[RBW] 26in wheel set
Greetings all, I am looking for a used high quality wheel set for my riv inspired mountain bike. I am running the original wheels from 1983 and think it may be time for an upgrade. I thought to get some Rich built wheels but wanted to ask here first. Currently touring around the big island of hawaii and loving it. It's pouring at the moment hence the moment to stop and reflect on wheel quality. I am usually located in Berkeley, ca.

[RBW] Re: Sturmey Archer Cassette Hub?
I have a Cross-Check setup with Sturmey-Archer Drums front and back (the 90mm XL versions).I'd say the brakes work about as well as anything else, but I haven't tried them on any really long, really steep roads (can't climb up them anyway with the 5-speed hub). They make cable routing a little more tricky, but they sure do look cool. I have some pictures of the bike here: https://picasaweb.google.com/BoniusRex/CrossCheck -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: building wheels
Jason, I've built a couple sets of wheels now, and relied on both the Brandt and Brown descriptions/instructions. I think you can pass on the the Brandt book if you're just looking to build wheels, rather than understand all the physics of what's going on. That said, I found this guy's videos to be EXTREMELY helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXpxmqEaxb0 That's not the first video in the series, but it gives an idea of what each is like. He explains things very well, and you just can't beat actually watching a skilled mechanic assemble a wheel. Give yourself plenty of time, and take lots of breaks. Enjoy - it really is a fun process and something you can be proud of when you're out on the road. Adam D.

[RBW] Sam for a Sam
Greetings All, A quick note to see if there is any curiosity in a potential bike trade. I have a 52cm Hillborne with plenty of beausage though mechanically perfect that I've had for close to 2 years. I recently hopped on a larger frame and realized I may be more comfortable on a 56cm. I am perfectly content to ride my 52cm for the next decade but thought I might see if there is anyone out there with a 56 that feels too big. Located in Berkeley for logistic's sake.

[RBW] Marin Ride
Riding out this weekend with a group of roughly 25 from Embarcadero Bart out to Samuel P Taylor. We'll be camping out one night taking the inland route out and the coastal route back. Some of us, the riv riders in particular, are thinking of adding the Bolinas Ridge Trail into our Sunday Ride. Hope to see some Rivendells and their riders out on the road, or perhaps at the hiker biker site before the rains come in next week. Just wanted to share these exciting plans. Hope it's a good weekend of riding for the bay area folks and everyone else as well. Cheers, Adam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Nitto Front Racks
Thought I'd use the rebate to throw on a front rack... Could anyone speak to whether the Nitto Two-Strut Top Rack is compatible with canti brakes? http://www.rivbike.com/products/show/nitto-two-strut-top-rack/20-190 I was planning to sit the small loafer up front...so then any reason I'd choose the Two-Strut, which seems to manage a good amount of weight, v. the Mini Front Rack, which handles a smaller load and has one strut? http://www.rivbike.com/products/show/mini-front-nitto/20-020 Concerned about weight in the front, especially when I'm on longish rides--frequent biking in the Oakland and Berkeley hills and it can be plenty windy.

[RBW] Re: Quickbeam/Simpleone and Rohloff hub
Thanks all for the thoughtful responses. I've emailed Alex Wetmore to inquire about his process in adjusting the Quickbeam's rear spacing. My buddy is pretty set on the Rohloff, as well as a Rivendell, so I'll let you all know how his process goes. Had anyone ever used Sheldon's prescribed method of adjusting the spacing? http://www.sheldonbrown.com/frame-spacing.html It seems that in his thinking the 15mm change that would be necessary is a possibility. I've also alerted my friend to the Singular Peregrine, that looks like a great option if he doesn't want to attempt the spacing change. Thanks again.
