Re: [RBW] Santa Cruz Randonneurs 200k ride report

2024-06-26 Thread Andrew Letton

 Ah, I remember that ride with fond memories. I rode it several times (as a 
Permanent) when I did my R12 back in 2008. Thanks for the report and the trip 
down memory lane, Toshi!
cheers,
Andrew, now of Sydney

 Last Saturday I rode the SCR 200k that rides up to Half Moon Bay and back to 
Santa Cruz, including some miles through San Gregorio/Stage Rd., 
Pescadero/Haskins Hill etc.
I think the best part of the ride was that 8 of the 9 riders stuck together 
throughout the ride and finished the ride together.  This made it a great 
opportunity to ride with friends and make several new friends.
One of the riders, Jim, rode one of the early Riv road bikes (color red) and I 
was riding my red Roadeo, so we had a good presence there.  (Many would argue 
that our red bikes are not as fast as orange ones, but nevertheless...)
The morning started out foggy on the coast, and unlike the previous ride a few 
weeks earlier, I neglected to wipe my lenses with the anti-fog wipes, which 
were effective the previous ride; so unfortunately, I had to windshield wiper 
my lenses with my fingers throughout my jaunt up the coast.

One of my ride mates, Ioannis, didn't know about these anti-fog wipes, and they 
work quite well.  They became especially popular during COVID times when masks 
would cause glasses to fog up, and these wipes helped prevent that. 

Although the temperatures got into the 90s inland, by the coast, it was 
extremely pleasant, especially after the fog burned off mid-morning.  We 
stopped by a bakery in Half Moon Bay, where it was nice and sunny, and I ate a 
delicious ham and cheese croissant as well as a chocolate croissant, although 
in this case, the savory one hit the spot better.  As I mentioned previously, I 
am seriously considering PBP 2027, and feel confident that savory croissants 
can fuel my ride very well.  I'll have to see how I feel about that after 
riding 300 miles, but I remain hopeful.
Usually one of the best parts of the day is when we ride down the coast back to 
Santa Cruz with a tailwind, and we were not disappointed on our return down the 
beautiful coast.  A couple spots had some lingering fog that added to the 
coastal scenery with rugged beaches to the right and some beautiful meadows on 
our left.
I'm thinking that either I should have easier access to my phone, or I should 
bring my camera along, especially on the 200k so I can document the beautiful 
views as I ride.
The 200k is always an enjoyable ride distance because you usually get to end in 
the daylight and have an opportunity to enjoy a nice dinner afterwards.  Many 
of us ate some good Mexican food after the ride, and despite a little traffic 
getting out of Santa Cruz, we took our time and enjoyed the rest of the evening.
I definitely want to give thanks to my fellow riders, whose company made the 
day go by smoothly and delightfully.
Toshi in Oakland, CA

$0.02: If I get hit, I want my appearance to reflect that I ride to be safe 
and seen, not that I was being reckless or at the wrong place at the wrong 
time. The optics unfortunately matter despite the psychology backing up 
riding helmetless. All those who invented/coinvented the mountain bike and 
have a mustache get the green light though IMO.

[RBW] Sergio Green Roadini 57 frameset

2024-05-27 Thread Andrew Joseph

All,I recently picked up a like new Roadini frameset and Tektro 559s from Mack’s Bikes in Chicago. However, I also just purchased a Sam complete and I am loving it. Maybe I had low expectations of the Sams performance on pavement having previously owned a Homer?Regardless of the reason, I was wrong and the Sam is super fun on the road. I really like being able to run canti brakes personally as well.I realize the Roadini frameset will just be sitting for quite sometime. This is fine, but I figured I would see if anyone here is interested in the frameset?I can pull the frame out of the box for more photos if you’re interested later this week. But this is the IG link to the photos of the actual bike Sam from Mack’s Bikes took when it was built up before I purchased it.Maybe $1100 plus shipping and I will include the brakes? I can include a headset. Although, the sale did not include a headset and seatpost as it was purchased from Mack’s and not Riv directly. $50 for a FSA Duron.Located in Oklahoma.P.S. Unless someone talks me out of it. Really thinking about picking up an Appaloosa frame instead when they are available.R,DrewMack’s Bike & Goods on Instagram: "One of our favorites (mostly cuz we love the name Leo)
@rivbike Roadini built with older dura-ace!

It’s a super fun bike you should treat yourself to it!

Patrick,Thank you! Those little contraptions are actually called “Cable Cherries.” They are easily installed and tightened via a 1.5 mm hex. They are quite fun, come in some great colors and are available from Forager Cycles, and Paul, among others. See below for the description from Forager…“The Cable Cherries are durable, reusable cable ends with a huge grip - no more crimps wiggling off leaving a frayed, pokey end! The easy-to-grab sphere shape makes adjusting cable tension or swapping components simple. Tape the included 1.5mm hex key to your tire lever, and you’re set!Easily grab the sphere to snug up your cable tension. Take them on and off as much as you need with the included 1.5mm hex key & set screw. The Cable Cherries are CNC machined in Oakland, CA on the same equipment that makes surgical pins & screws. Get 'em tight, and have 'em for life.”The saddle is a Berthoud Galibier.

I am pumped, and it should be an excellent canvas as a HiHo Silver specimen.I wanted to take a moment in light of recent scammy trends and briefly introduce myself. Happy to answer any follow up questions as well. I returned to bikes following a nominal investment in the bike infrastructure by Oklahoma City leadership. But the investment did at least provide a system of trails and paved pathways that allows for a good amount of riding off of the roadway. Unfortunately, I have had close friends struck and killed by vehicles on bikes and motorcycles. The environment has to be nearly perfect for me to feel even remotely comfortable touring on roads exclusively. The level of trust road cyclists have in the drivers passing by has always fascinated me. Driving is one of the most dangerous activities we can engage in. Anyhow enough of that. I began with Surly bikes, then quickly to Crust bikes, and finally…thanks to Blue Lug photography inspiration, a 58 Homer. The Homer is currently my favorite Riv. I have owned an orange Ram that was slightly too tall and an Atlantis 2 that could have worked but required some significant frame repair. Sold both bikes to Jarrod Bunk, an incredible person and former owner of Hope Cyclery. James knocked out the Homer build and Rich built a White/dynamo Quill wheelset. The bike fit like a tailored suit. My build was loosely modeled after the interpretation of James Homer prior to his latest Staff bike mods. Why did I sell it? Possibly the very cool buyer, maybe an attempt to cull bikes that couldn’t perform as well in NWA dirt touring (what was I thinking?), impulse, maybe some guilt in owning more bikes than my Wife (my best bud). I do regret selling it. But always forward. I traded a Crust Bombora for the Sam that I realized very quickly I was attempting to make more comfortable and upright like my Homer. I acknowledged this and happily traded. Hence the remaining ENVE wheels and White crankset I posted on the group recently. Let’s see, I have more than a few kiddos, three of the kids now ride also which is such a joy and I also train BJJ, weight lift/run. Some questions…The cockpit worked well for me, with an 80mm lugged stem and 90 reach Crust Shaka bar. I have received some helpful feedback already regarding this Sam. I would like to have a similar cockpit, if not the same with a Noodle or Shaka bar. Do I need a shorter stem?I have a new 85mm 90-190 stem. I wouldn’t mind running the Shaka again. Or snag a 70/80 stem to try the Noodle?Either way, I hope to buy a longer lugged stem from Jim and pick up an Albatross down the road. I certainly hope to try that one day. Anyone have any feedback on the H SON PLUS wheelset? No experience beyond Velocity and Crust wheels. Also my first experience with Campy. Will also be switching the saddle, seatpost, pedals, adding Moon Units, cages, and cable cherries.Photos of my previous Homer, and the Sam as it will arrive (hopefully)…Hope everyone is having a great week so far.

I don't want to stir up any drama if this is in fact a legit sale, but the listing is from Jan 2023, 16 months old, this bike at any price under $2000 should be long gone on it's way to a new owner. PS. I'm not sending a deposit.

Re: [RBW] NorCal Coast Tour Route Feedback

2024-02-12 Thread Andrew Letton

Hi Stephen,Yes, when one sees the "Golden rollin' hills of California" in the
summertime, it is hard to remember the North Coast rainforests! The hotter it
gets inland, the foggier the coastline. It can be 100F thirty miles inland and
a foggy 58F on the coast in July.As for mud, the dirt in the Lost Coast region
is pretty rocky and drains well, so aside from low areas where rain washed silt
(that fine dust of the summer) may accumulate, mud probably won't be a big
issue. I've certainly never experienced the peanut-butter-mud that I've heard
of in other areas.cheers,Andrew in 31C=88F Sydney, wishing for some North Coast
fog!

Thanks for the input Andrew! What a place to grow up! I've been up along the

Hi Stephen,Looks like a great ride!I grew up in the Lost Coast area (Whale
Gulch), so your first route goes right through my home turf.One thing that I
find suspicious is that RWGPS seems to show some paved road between Four
Corners and Dutchman's Flat, and I don't believe that's true. The Usal Road is
pretty remote and depending on the time of year, not well maintained. I believe
the county only maintains it during summer months, so in winter it is sometimes
unpassable in a car. That shouldn't stop a bicycle, but you may find areas
pretty rutted. YMMV! I've ridden it only once, in summer, and my problem was
not bringing enough water, so plan accordingly. It's only about 26 miles, but
as you can see from RWGPS, it's a pretty intense 26 miles! Don't let that scare
you off, just be prepared. You will be rewarded by some spectacular country.
You can probably fill water bottles at the Whale Gulch School, just before you
get to Four Corners. After Four Corners, you'll be heading off into truly
unpopulated areas and are unlikely to find much water. (Filter what you do
find!) Oh, and if it is dust season (June-Sep), you may want to have a bandana
around your neck, ready to pull up over your mouth/nose for when cars (very
occasionally) pass. Ah, I just saw that you're thinking of April, so dust will
not likely be an issue, but rain may be; you'll be riding through one of the
wettest regions in the whole state! ;-)

I look forward to your ride report...

Hey All,
This week I've been fantasizing about a tour route from Eureka to SF that
follows the PCH but avoids riding on it as much as possible (within reason). So
I've been playing around in rwgps and Gaia Gps maps to make some route drafts,
trying to stay close to the coast but choosing alternate roads and dirt roads
as much as possible to avoid traffic.
For the beginning of the route I used part of a Lost Coast tour route that ends
and begins in Eureka. As for the end, I've done a fair bit of riding in Marin
and have familiarity with the roads and trails up to Sir Francis Drake Road.
Will probably make two different route endings, one for east bay and one for
SF. (the route draft I have now is for eastbay)
I was wondering if anyone on the list had experience in the other areas up the
coast, or has done a similar ride, or been on any of the roads I've routed or
had recommendations? Sometimes you see a road on a map and in reality its
private access or washed away. Would appreciate any thoughts or feedback or
anybody who wants to nerd out on maps and routemaking.
Playing with the idea of riding this on my appaloosa in April.

Re: [RBW] Advantages of triple drivetrains (VO post)

2024-01-09 Thread Andrew Turner

I love a triple paired with an 8 speed or less corncob cassette matched to 
downtube shifters. That's an amazing roadie configuration right there. Not 
to mention bomb proof. But I think what rides equally as nice is 11 speed 
2x setups with a wide range cassette in the rear. The choice for me comes 
down to looks and vanity. Ron Mc's teaser drivetrain pic is really 
scratching an itch for me though!

Oh shoot, I didn't realize the Crust was 650b in smaller sizes. Velo Orange 
Rando frameset  is the 
only other production road frame that comes to mind, but I haven't 
read/heard much about it's ride quality. The modular dropouts are a really 
neat idea though.

Re: [RBW] Roadini Feedback

2024-01-06 Thread Andrew Turner

Ronny has a blog post about his Malocchio build and seems to really enjoy 
it. 
https://ronsbikesblog.com/2023/11/01/2052/ 

Compared to the Roadini, it's a fair bit lighter and the geometry is 
certainly geared more towards spirited riding. I owned 2 Roadinis, one 
larger size (gen 1) and a smaller size (gen 2)...I preferred the larger 
size with a more upright riding position (w/ drop bars). It was an 
exceptionally smooth ride, not necessarily quick, but very very smooth. 
Later I tried the smaller size thinking I could build it up with bars lower 
than the saddle and with some fatty 44mm tires. However,  I really didn't 
enjoy the feeling of the longer chainstays, especially when climbing out of 
the saddle, it just didn't feel like a road bike. I'd vote for the 
Malocchio. 

BUT, Ronny's also planning a collab with Beach Club to make a road bike 
with a sloped top tube, mid reach brakes and light steel fork...which is 
pretty much exactly what my new-to-me Waterford is. Makes for a perfect 
road bike IMO.  
https://ronsbikesblog.com/2023/12/18/beach-club-buzz/

But for something available now and more affordable, I don't think you 
could go wrong with a Malocchio.

Re: [RBW] Why do some bikes just feel consistently faster?

2024-01-04 Thread Andrew Turner

There's a BlueLug video on YouTube where they visit Mike Varley at his bike 
shop, and a similar question was asked about his frames and why they ride 
so well. This is a question I've had ever since riding a BMC Monstercross 
as it's an exceptionally fun and zippy ride for pretty unexceptional tubing 
and geometry, so I was keen to hear the secret come out..."I don't know 
why." LOL. He did suspect bottom bracket height being a contributing factor 
in the way a bike feels though. 

>From my experience, a faster feeling bicycle comes from 3 objective 
requirements: a bike designed with the intention of being ridden quickly ; 
2: the desire from the rider to ride said bike quickly. and 3: the rider 
being comfortable riding it. However, the key word in all of this is 
"feeling." I think the answer you're looking for lives somewhere in the 
deep, dark forests of subjectiveness, don't overthink it, just enjoy the 
kinship you found with your bike!

[RBW] WTT: My Sam H frameset, 60cm, HiHo silver BNIB, for your 61.5cm A. Homer Hilsen

2023-12-18 Thread Andrew S

Hi folks,

Very high chance of this going nowhere! I picked up a 60cm silver Sam 
Hillborne frameset from the last run, as I despaired of C ever receiving 
any Homers in Canada (still haven't), but I'd really really like a 61.5 
Homer with downtube shifter mounts and caliper brakes (Jason F will be 
rolling his eyes about now). Would thus need to be from one of the latest 
runs. Not too concerned about color (though mustard would be dreamy).

Maybe you'd like to go the other way (ie. canti/v brakes). Maybe your Homer 
is just a touch too big. Maybe you live in the Bay Area, kinda want a Sam 
(currently sold out, I think), and could pick up a Homer at HQ (avoiding 
shipping costs) with the current discount code and could thereby 
effectively get a discounted new Sam from me. Maybe (most likely) you don't 
exist..

I'll expect crickets, but would love to hear your thoughts. As usual, 
details of shipping etc would need to be massaged, but I'd do what I can to 
make it reasonable to consider trading with a canuck. 

Thanks in advance!

andrew in Calgary

Miraculously I found it second-hand on eBay. The seller accepted my offer

Re: [RBW] Silver2 cranks!

2023-11-30 Thread Andrew Letton

I had that same cracking on a Specialized (Sugino) Flag triple crank, solved
it with some judicious filing, and have been riding it for a couple of decades
since with no further sign of cracking.cheers,Andrew in Sydney

The crack on Campy Record/Super Record spiders was the result of the very
sharp edge at that location. A common fix back in the day was a few minutes’
work with a round file to take the edge off that part of the crankset.

Something not mentioned in this discussion is the quality or consistency of
chainring nuts & bolts. I have sometimes switched out nuts and bolts when the
nut tool isn't making a tight connection. Steel or aluminum? Does that make a
difference? I don't know; I've always used steel.

It does minimise the problem that some cranks have/have had where cracking
develops at the join between the crank and adjacent spider arm because of the
acute angle between them. I can remember having to retire a couple of
Campagnolo Super Record cranks that I was racing on back in the 1980s because
cracks had developed at this point. e.g. - This image is from pardo.net, but
it's identical to the cracks I found.

That said, it works out great for me that so many people seem to have such a
hard time with hidden bolt cranks, because I've never had a problem with it,
and your shared struggles has got to help drive the price down for me. Walking
around my garage, there are four bikes with hidden arm Ritcheys, three with
hidden arm Sugino, and two with hidden arm Campy.
Ditto here. There must be half a dozen bikes in our garage using cranks with
the hidden chainring bolt behind the arm, and I've not had any problems
changing chainrings on them.

It’s cool! I don’t think I’ve had it long enough to really dial it in, but
ever since I saw this same setup from the tumblr page, nutmegcountry, I
wanted to replicate it.

Before these I had 46cm noodles and that was also a comfy ride, but less
confidence inspiring off-road. I have a hunch some bullmoose bars would be
the ticket for ultimate magic carpet atb’n….partially why I’m selling it,
I’d want to reconfigure this damn thing constantly…meanwhile I’m riding a
road bike 90% of the time.

Stand over is roughly 89cm from ground to top of top tube, saddle height is
roughly 80cm from bb to top of saddle. As pictured, the seatpost is quite
higher than that measurement, I forgot to set it before snapping the pic.
I’m 6’2” with a pbh of roughly 91cm.

Kiley, I’ve got a 64 Clem L rolling chassis (embarrassingly not yet built up) and a 1UP rack which I’ve (embarrassingly) not yet tried it on. If you haven’t gotten a definitive answer before then, I’ll throw it on and take some photos when we’re back from our vacation on Thursday.andrewSent from my iPhoneOn Nov 12, 2023, at 10:56 AM, Brian Turner wrote:Kiley, I think the best answer for those who have long wheelbase issues, is to get a rear rack with the dual rack arms that adjust to secure both wheels of the bike (like the design of 1Up racks, or the Kuat Piston series). The wheelbase limitations of the Kuat Piston series is 53 inches, and I think most 1Up racks will handle a max. of 54 inches. Personally, I have a Kuat NV2, but it only has an adjustable rack arm for the front wheel, and a strap for the rear wheel. The max wheelbase on that style of rack is 50 inches. My 54 (Medium) Gus has an exactly 50" wheelbase, so it JUST fits. Anything longer would not.I guess ease of personal transport and urban multi-modal transportation was not a factor in the evolution of these bikes. They ride great, but it's a very real and often frustrating issue that us owners have to work through.BrianLex KYOn Sunday, November 12, 2023 at 12:39:40 PM UTC-5 Kiley Demond wrote:Super-size the question: My Clem L is a 59; looking/considering a Clem L 64 for my HE (husband equivalent). How in the world do we transport these behemoths? The idea is for some off-road, away-from-home adventures, but the whole rack thing needs to be managed. We could remove wheels for transport, but then need a rack that will take the 'L' Clems and grab the frames. Thank you for your collective wisdom!

2023-11-06 Thread Andrew Letton

Great news, Adrianna! I'm happy for you.
I can't really tell from the resolution of the photo, but it looks like it is
just the decals that were painted or marked over. If they used a Sharpie pen,
acetone should remove the pen markings without damaging the paint job (but test
in a small area to be sure!). If they used paint, some paints may be dissolved
by acetone as well. I'm fairly certain that the original paint will not be
harmed by acetone, but again, I would test this in an inconspicuous spot first.

Hi all,
Just thought to share the good news. A few months ago, my Riv was stolen from
my garage in San Francisco. I got it back this week.
The gist of the story was that a bike person in my community came across this
bike, figured it was stolen, got it from the person selling it, and contacted
me.

All the parts were intact, except bags and lights and bottle cages, and the
bike was totally fine. Someone had painted over the lugs in a black and blue
and it's kind of ugly, but that's maybe a good story to tell some day.
I am so happy!

[RBW] Nitto Campee 27F rack vs rack combos

2023-08-15 Thread Andrew Turner

Hello group!
I recently purchased the Nitto Mini Campee front rack for my rando bag with
the idea of adding something like a TUBUS low rider or Marks Hub Area rack
(MF2) for pannier- carrying come S24O time.

Then I remembered Nitto's most grandiose front rack, the Campee 27F and
from my POV, that seems like the smartest, most elegant solution for a bike
that will always carry a central bag with the option of adding panniers.
The only rub is that rack is out of stock everywhere...it seems like Nitto
might not even be making it anymore *(this is pure speculation but it also
seems like VO dropped their front-camper rack as well)*. Any insights on
this? Is it just an incredibly time-consuming rack, they only make a very
small batch of them at a time?

The main reason why the Campee 27F is calling my name is that the low-rider
racks are both modular AND angled. It doesn't seem like the MF2 or Tubus
offerings have that feature and I was wondering if anyone here feels a
difference in ride-quality between angled and vertical low-rider panniers.

Would the Nitto Mini Campee and MF2 combo check all the boxes or is the
Campee 27F still the GROAT and worth the wait?

- Andrew

[RBW] Re: Experience with TRP Ultra-Ergo Brake Levers

2023-07-29 Thread Andrew Wentzell

These levers come from TRP with a little plastic wedge piece that sits 
under the top of the clamp and causes the the lever to rotate down a bit 
when installed. You can install the levers with or without the wedge, 
depending on how you prefer them to be angled. It sounds like you might 
want them angled down more than they are. Do you have these wedges? If not, 
you can buy them from TRP separately for around $10 for a pair, IIRC. Or 
see if Riv has some in a bin.

[RBW] FS: Nitto SP72 Jaguar 27.2mm seatpost

2023-07-25 Thread Andrew S

My first 'FS' post, let's try this and hope for the best

This was on my recently acquired 62cm Saluki (photos and/or ride report to
follow once I've got it properly set up..). On that note, huge thanks
to Todd T in Hercules (not sure if he's on the list), the purchase and
shipping experience could not have been smoother and the bike is a dream to
ride!

I had hoped to make it work, it's a beautiful post, but it's just a touch
too short (250mm), and with my long legs and short torso I don't think I'll
be able to use it on any other bike in the current stable.

Very good condition. Looks like it lists for 189usd at Crust and Merry
Sales, so maybe let's try $100usd including shipping in US/Canada, Paypal
(sorry we can't access Venmo up here), provided that I can secure a
not-too-crazy rate from up here in Alberta (have had pretty good luck with
Netparcel, which usually uses UPS as the most cost effective carrier)?

I'm always open to interesting trades as well

[RBW] Re: ISO Roadini...or?

2023-07-23 Thread Andrew Turner


2 cents: don't get carried away with frame weight, especially when 
comparing steel frames. I'd focus more on geometry. I wanted my Roadini 
build to scratch the same itch but the long wheelbase didn't align with my 
idea of a zippy, skinny-tire road bike. 
Conversely, I had the opportunity to purchase a 15lb carbon road bike, and 
I thought, now THIS is the chance to see if weight really does make a 
difference, and it does...when you pick the thing up...When riding, I 
really don't notice a difference besides slghtly sketchier descending.

Stick with your gut and upcycle a cool 90s frame! And avoid weight weenie 
tendencies when it comes to steel bikes.

[RBW] Modifying my Hillborne

2023-06-29 Thread Andrew Wright

Good morning folks!

I’ve recently been inspired by Eric Marth’s build videos on YouTube and 
want to change my Sam up a bit, mainly moving from road bars/bar end 
shifters to something like a Bosco or albatross with thumbies.  Problem is 
I’m not very familiar with changing parts out like brake levers, shifters 
etc.  Can anyone recommend some good resources to better understand this 
work, these parts and what’s compatible with what?  YouTube, books, 
whatever ya got. Truly appreciate any help y’all can give me.

Re: [RBW] Plush old 531 steel frames (was being precious)

2023-06-29 Thread Andrew Scherer

I hear variants of "plush" used when folks discuss steel and particularly 
531 but I'm not sure what to make of it. I have 6 bikes with 531 frames and 
I ride them all: 1970 Raleigh Pro Mk I, a Falcon San Remo of undetermined 
age but likely 1969-1971, a 1971 Raleigh International, a 1972 PX-10, a 
1972 Paramount, and a 1987 531c Mercian Professional. Sizes are 62-63cm for 
reference, and most of them run Compass or similar Panaracer tires. Each 
has different characteristics related to how the bike responds to steering 
effort delivered at the front end or through shifting weight/center of 
gravity, and a general sense of what I'll call rigidity. Perhaps it's 
because they're all the same base material, but I wonder if geometry, 
wheelbase, and tires makes more of a difference than materials. They all 
feel "comfortable" but the range is significant. The PX10 and the Falcon 
have a strong self-centering steering feel and the PX10 requires more 
effort to change direction. I'd say "steady and predictable". At the other 
end of the spectrum the Mercian has criterium geometry and feels very 
light, the steering is super responsive and at the same time the whole bike 
feels more solid/rigid than the others. I didn't like riding it on 
rough/urban roads until I changed the tires from 23c Michelin Pros to 28c 
(that barely fit) Soma Supple VItesse. The Raleigh Pro and International 
fall somewhere towards the PX10 to different degrees, and the Paramount 
seems to be smack in the middle. FWIW I've had the Mercian since it was new 
and if I could only keep one, that would be it. 

Anecdotally, the International was the first of the above I added to the 
fleet some 7 years ago after a friend convinced me to buy the frame. I 
built it to more or less the catalog spec and took a first ride with him. 
As we came up to a small pothole on a descent I used my Mercian reflexes to 
shift the bike around it and ended up sailing right through it...not enough 
"oomph" for that setup!

[RBW] ISO 54 Roadini

2023-06-28 Thread Andrew Huston

I know there is a new batch on the way but thought I’d see if there is 
anything on the market now. Would consider frame or complete. I also have a 
neat black sheep klunker I would use as a barter if interested. Located in 
Michigan. 

That new green does look pretty amazing tho…

[RBW] WTB: zippy skinny tire 62x58ish c-c frameset

2023-06-06 Thread Andrew Turner

Our good friend Joe Bunik totally hooked me up with one rad frameset that 
fits me oh-so-well, but it's on the stabler side and can fit 32s with ease. 
Now that I've got some more room for bikes, I'd like to expand to a punchy, 
zippy road frame but with roughly the same geometry (aprox. 63cm C-C seat 
tube, and 58cm C-C top tube).  

Now some might be thinking, but Andy, you have a Waterford 1200 built with 
mythical Reynolds 753 steel that already fits the bill. Welp I stupidly 
sold it (but did get confirmation from the seller that they'd sell it back 
to me should they decide to part with it). Its seat tube was a little short 
for me at 61cm C-C, so I'm still on the hunt for others. Suppose anyone has 
something in their collection that fits the geometry, can barely, and I 
mean barely squeeze a 28mm tire between and has 130/100 spacing w/ vertical 
or very short horizontal dropouts. In that case, I'd be very very 
interested! 

Thanks group, 
Andrew-thinning y'alls stable frame by frame-Turner

Segueing off Leah's thread: can anyone recommend a 44 to 48 mm tire as or

be happy to entertain their suggestion if the tire is ditto as above.
I'll be especially interested in any Schwalbe tires ditto as above since my
experience with 2 models of EL Schwalbes and 2 models of EL RHs leaves the
contest neck-and-neck, with Schwalbe perhaps having a slight edge.
Since the newly Hover-barred Monocog is now so much nicer to ride, I will
happily let it take the place of the #1 Monocog for sandier rides, thus for the
Monocog I can lose some sand float for the sake of more crisp pavement
cornering.
Thanks.

BUT. I’m not good at gravel. I have no idea what the kids are doing these days.
I have questions, and you have answers.
1. Can I keep my VO wavy fenders on a gravel bike? Here’s what I have, and they
say up to 50 mm tire will fit:2. Slick or knobby? I can’t even get a straight
answer on this. Which is better? If it matters about the rider, this will be
for a rider with a healthy fear of crashing.
3. How wide? I have 42s on my bikes now and I don’t feel like they are wide
enough.
4. Tubeless or no? These wheels are tubeless-compatible but I put a tube in
them because I wasn’t riding enough to keep the sealant circulating. But that
can be changed right quick.
Here is my Clem in its current configuration, and yes, I know the Backabikes
gotta go.

Thanks for your help!Leah

[RBW] WTB: 16mm caliper brake mounting nut

2023-04-18 Thread Andrew Turner

Hey group! 
I installed a front rack on my bike with caliper brakes and holding 
everything in place is a Sheldon fender nut, because it's the only thing I 
had long enough to bite some threads. 

Ideally, it would be a recessed nut though. If anyone has one of those 
hanging around that's around 16mm, I'd very much appreciate one!  

Thank you, 
Andrew

[RBW] FS: 700c wheelset: Mavic Open 4CD, Wheelsmith straight gauge, Shimano 600 Tri-color 8-10sp.

2023-04-14 Thread Andrew Turner

Hello group! 
Up for grabs is a really nice wheelset with Mavic Open 4CD rims, Wheelsmith 
straight gauge spokes, and Shimano 600 tricolor hubs. The original freehub 
body has been "updated" with a newer Shimano 8-10 speed freehub body and 
both hubs have recently been repacked. 32 spoke front and rear with unknown 
mileage, but the anodizing is still 96% fresh. There's a streak starting to 
show on the rear so beausage is definitely on it's way. Both wheels are 
also wrapped with tubeless tape to make an already easy tire swap even 
easier. 

$290 free shipping (conus)  

Pictures can be found here:

ALSO up for grabs are a pair of 700x28 Fairweather "for traveler" tires 
with plenty of life left and relatively clean sidewalls. They look and feel 
like RH standard casing tires.  

$70 free shipping and I'll throw in several continental innertubes for 
them. Pictures are also in that link.  

Cheers! 
Andrew

2023-04-12 Thread Andrew Turner

Updated list and prices (excluding shipping costs) 

Pictures here: 
https://photos.app.goo.gl/5q3GaT9EnzUh7yzt5 


*Pair of Nitto Handlebars: *42mm Noodle (26.0) some faint scratches on the 
sleeve and some tape residue 
45cm B135 Rando (25.4) relatively new with just some tape residue 
Selling these as a pair since finding boxes for these sorta things is 
tricky, plus I figure most of you have both size stems anyhow. 
$45

*Royal Gran Compe 400 Brakeset:* Black with low miles but could use some 
new brake pads) 
$60

*Sackville SaddleSack ExtraSmall:* Brown with a small tear in the top 
middle from where I had an external battery wired through to a handlebar 
light. I've somehow lost the leather straps it came with so hopefully the 
price reflects all that. 
$35 

*Kool-Stop Continental Salmon Brake Pads:* Used for less than 100 miles. 
$8

*Shimano Ultegra 6500 Brakeset:* Used but in excellent shape, could use 
some new brake pads IMO. Short reach 
$30

*Sugino XD2 Crankset:* 170mm length, 46/34 Origin 8 chainrings, all very 
lightly used 
$100

*Acorn Large Saddlebag:* brown (kinda olivy) very lightly used. I'm not the 
first owner but that owner I don't think ever used it and I never used it 
either!  
$85

They're yours! I'll get those packed up now. I'll probably just use a

Re: [RBW] Re: Ramouillet max tire

2023-03-29 Thread Andrew Turner

Here's a handy blog comparing various long(er) reach brakes that the 
Rambouillet fits: 
https://blackmtncycles.com/clearance-pt-ii-road-frames/

My father's Ram can squeeze 38s with Shimano R-600 calipers but that's a 
close fit with narrow rims. He's never had fenders on the bike, but I ran 
the same setup on my Roadini (older model) and 28s + VO fenders were maxing 
it out. I'd even hear some rubbing when climbing out of the saddle. 

Because of fender clearance, some of Rivendell's caliper model frames have 
bugged me. For context, my experience is only the 2007 Ram, the old, 
shorter-reach Roadini frame, and the long-reach 559 Roadini. But with all 
of these, the brake pad placement varied between the front and rear wheel 
and that usually resulted in less space for a fender near the rear brake 
bridge. And that's pretty annoying when you see 5mm of viable space to 
lower the pads. But that's what I get for not getting a canti model. 

Cheers!
Andrew

to be my builder, but he went of the reversvation before he started on it. I

So, front rack mounts were not part of the normal Rivendell catalog 20 years

Hi - I'm new here! Not sure how many of you saw this on eBay over the past few
months, but I was able to work with the seller and found a way to buy this 2000
All-Rounder (Curt Goodrich). I have a couple updates in mind (sweptback
handlebar, Brooks saddle), but those will happen with time. First step will be
new tires and tuning the mechanicals (Dura Ace except for crankset) so I can
get a ride or two under my belt. If the seller is in this group - thanks again
for all the help!
Questions for the group: It seems odd to find an All Rounder, or any Riv for
that matter, without rack mounts on the upper/mid fork blade. Would this have
been a special request to not have them?What are the markers that indicate the
frame was painted at Joe Bell's shop?

The All Rounder like the XO-1 before it gets a lot of interest and praise, but
I think that, like the XO-1 that preceeded it, it is an early design that has
been superseded and bettered by later Grantian bikes, starting with the
Atlantis and continuing with the Sam Hillborne and doubtless the more recent
models.
I say this having owned an XO-1 and having bought a custom Road based on the
All Rounder, with lighter (753) tubing and slightly more upright hta (IIRC). My
1999 and 2003 Road customs, also built for 26" wheels, are better "All Round"
both on pavement and in dirt than either XO-1 and the first Road custom, with
much longer chainstays, slightly sacker head, and upsloping tts with extended
head tubes.
I say again that the later Road customs ride better on dirt, particularly sandy
surfaces, than the XO-1 and the first gen, AR-based road custom.
I think -- but I am open to reasoned rebuttal -- that an Atlantis or Sam Hill
would be better for all round riding than either XOs or ARs.

Looking for a set of wheels, preferably Cliffhangers but would consider 
other similar width rims.

Re: [RBW] Custom frame bag for Gus

2023-02-22 Thread Andrew Letton

Nice! I especially like the black patch adjacent to the chain.
(Related to that space behind the seat tube...from the first time I saw it, I
thought there should be a triple set of bosses there for a big Nalgene or other
extra water storage.)
cheers,Andrew in Sydney...where more water on the bike is always better!

Ever since taking ownership of my Gus last Fall, I had designs on having a
custom frame bag made for the space behind the seat tube on the frame. I guess
it's the bikepacker in me, but it seems like there's just too much usable space
there to not take advantage of it.
I reached out to Andy Schmidt from Lords Luggage in Portland (he runs in the
same bike scene circles as Rivelo John and Bantam Cycles Bob), and he
enthusiastically accepted the challenge. Click the link above to check out the
photos!
I'm super pleased with the results... it's exactly what I was hoping for. I
mostly keep my tire repair stuff in it; pump, pressure gauge, spare tube,
puncture repair kit, 2 oz bottle of sealant, shop rag, and still a little room
to spare.
If you're looking for a custom bag like this, or other bike bags and handmade
luggage, get in touch with Andy! Thanks for looking!

[RBW] Re: Jobst Brandt thought experiment: What would he ride today?

2023-01-31 Thread Andrew Turner

Laing, I think you made a lot of solid arguments. Custom steel still feels 
like the way he'd go, and probably not so dissimilar to his no-frills road 
bikes of yore. I'm certainly grateful for his impact on the bicycle, 
riders, and builders of today, and for the journalists keeping his name 
alive!

[RBW] Jobst Brandt thought experiment: What would he ride today?

2023-01-31 Thread Andrew Turner

I'm in the process of building a JB-inspired road bike but with a nod to 
current bicycle trends: mainly wider tires and spinnier gearing. As a 
result, it's made me wonder what he would be riding today if you spliced 
his timeline and moved his prime days to current day. 

Today's Radavist 
<https://theradavist.com/conversations-with-tom-ritchey-part-two-the-influence-of-jobst-brandt/>
 article 
really fueled that question so I'd like to open it up to this group who 
likely have much more insight into the man and his bike(s). 

What are we thinking? Rim brakes or disc? Carbon? Steel? Ti? I see a lot of 
similarities between him and Jan Heine as far as a desire for performance 
and reliability, so perhaps he'd lean towards a rando build?  

Take it away if you wish,

Re: [RBW] Single-Bolt Stem Spreading Options

2023-01-26 Thread Andrew Letton

Hi Brian,
If your stem has a tapped hole for the clamp bolt (as many steel stems have,
rather than a loose nut like many aluminum Nittos) you can use this method:
Helpful tip: Take the pinch bolt out. Insert a coin in the slot between the
clamp area. Thread the bolt in from the back side. Tighten it against the coin.
It will force the clamp open and it will stay that way during your install.

(I copied this from the net, rather than type up my own description.)

but i usually end up with a scratch or two. Anybody got any good alternative
methods I'm not thinking of?

[RBW] FS: Selle Anatomica New, Never Used Carbon Rail

2023-01-21 Thread Andrew Turner

This post is just for the carbon rails, it's not a full saddle. The rails 
are brand new I bought from SA. They've increased in price since then so if 
I can make most of my money back, that would be swell. Asking $75 and I'll 
pay for shipping. 

Cheers, 
Andrew

[RBW] Re: Exploration: Make your own pump peg

2023-01-17 Thread Andrew Turner

I'm a big proponent of using the rear quick release as the peg and stuffing 
it between the seat-stay and seat-tube. Much cleaner. I add some elastic 
paracord as added security down near the QR.

Re: [RBW] Re: Lightweight wheels question: J bend vs straight pull (Ritchey vs Hunt)

2023-01-17 Thread Andrew Turner

John at Neugent Cycles strikes me as "the real deal" with the right 
connections and knowledge of modern wheel-building practices. Plus I could 
be wrong but I think he's building these wheels himself, regardless they're 
hand-built here stateside. (He let me mail some SimWorks' raw brass nipples 
to use for the wheel build to his home address). 

I'm still rocking 8 speed cassettes so yes, it's a bummer 11 speed systems 
screw with the structural integrity of the bicycle wheel. But frankly, I'm 
not looking for these to last me 20 years. I'm a very light rider, on a 
budget, ride 90% pavement, and I wanna lose 1.5lbs off my wheels if I can! 

Bill made a joke about seeing these wheels on a Gus and I can do ya one 
better: Neugent offers a carbon tubular wheelset at a sweltering 1000g that 
I think would pair nicely with a Gus if anyone's looking to get up Mt. 
Diablo with some pep! 

- Andrew, who jokes aside is a little curious about those tubular wheels...

Wow yes, these look fantastic on paper. I actually went ahead and pulled 
the trigger on a set of them so I suppose we'll both see how things go.

Thanks for the tip!!

[RBW] Lightweight wheels question: J bend vs straight pull (Ritchey vs Hunt)

2023-01-16 Thread Andrew Turner

Hey there group,  

As far as pre-built, lightweight alloy wheelsets are concerned, I'm 
currently looking at 3: 
Pacenti brevet, Ritchey Zeta II classic, and Hunt but leaning towards the 
last 2. I've had experience with Ritchey's and really enjoyed them and 
their clever J-bend design, but Hunt's are better stocked. Does anyone have 
positive experience with Hunt wheels or do they lack longevity? 

I'd also be inclined to hear about your custom-built lightweight wheelset 
experiences. My goal weight is something in the 1600g range w/ skewers.  

Cheers, 
Andrew
