In light of your nice bikes I would suggest a stem adapter like the VO. You

[RBW] Handlebar

[Davidbea]

While waiting for the Nitto randonneur bar I ordered from my LBS to arrive- 
one of thre options I’m considering for my new Homer build- I stopped by 
the bike coop and found this bar:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/71834221@N00/8591612115/in/photostream

It’s labelled GB and British Made. 

http://www.flickr.com/photos/71834221@N00/8592703534/in/set-72157633092067433

http://www.flickr.com/photos/71834221@N00/8592699168/in/set-72157633092067433

When the Nitto I lined the two up and noticed, besides an unfortunate bend 
at the right end, it is almost exactly the same.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/71834221@N00/8592696840/in/set-72157633092067433/lightbox/

Is this the bar the Nitto is patterned after? Would it be okay to put a 
pipe in the bar end  to ‘correct’ the errant right end. Would it be safe 
now or corrected? 

BTW I am 62 years old and 150 lbs so wouldn’t be adding a lot of stress to 
it.

[RBW] Re: Budget Riv? Still on the horizon?

I’ve also spent many hundreds of dollars (at least) on Bridgestones, 
Univegas, Miyatas and hybrid Bianchis not buying a Rivendell. I’ve been *almost 
*satisfied but still wanted the real thing.

I finally decided to take the plunge and am picking up a new 56cm 650B H. 
Homer Hilsen frame set. It’s one of the last single tube Toyo’s. Looking to 
put this together within as tight a budget as reasonably possible but am

 be a pleasure to own long after the car is on the scrap heap.  

 When I bought my Atlantis 10 years ago, it cost 3X what I'd paid for the

 Here is how to get a budget Riv now (other than waiting for a used deal, 
 which could also take a while):

 Get yourself a zero % interest credit card. Get a Sam or Betty now 
 before the price goes up (get the unpainted head tube if still available in 
 your size). Set up automatic payments so that you pay off the frame before 
 the interest kicks in. Find a bargain older bike on Craig's List that has a 
 suitable selection of parts. Move the parts over (650B wheels will be a 
 problem, though). Scrounge for the rest (long reach brakes and wheels) here 
 on the RBW list and the iBob list. 

 The $400 you could save in a budget frame is a pittance even on a budget 
 if spread out over a year. Commit to cooking for your family instead of 
 going out to eat, do without cable, stop drinking beer and wine for a year, 
 or juice (it's not that healthy, anyway), whatever. Or ride your new bike 
 everywhere if you are now driving a car. Sell the car, buy a trailer for 
 the kids, or a front mounted and rear mounted child seat. There are ways to 
 save $40 a month if you are working and living in the US. I waited for 
 years before buying a Riv because they seemed so extravagant. Buying the 
 original Sam at $1000 in 2009 felt like a super-splurge bordering on the 
 irresponsible, but I bit the bullet because it was half of the other Rivs. 
 I wish I hadn't waited so long.

 Hope I don't sound preachy, and perhaps your finances are more dire than 
 mine are/were (maxed out credit cards?), but most employed folk in the US 
 can afford a Sam, especially if it can replace car trips some of the time. 
 It's mostly a matter of priorities, and perhaps overcoming fear. 

 Cheers,

 Gernot

[RBW] Re: flat bars on the hilsen

[Davidbea]

The first good bicycle I picked up was from an old co-worker who complained 
his back prevented him from riding. I was just getting back into bicycling 
as I retired and had discovered Rivendell, etc.. I realized that was my 
type of riding. When he said he had this bicycle he wanted to get rid of, I 
asked him what kind it was thinking it would be a department store type. He 
told me it was a Bridgestone
in almost new condition. It still has the original Richey slicks with nubs 
on them. I expected to put mustache or drop bars on it. It's an XO-5 with 
original arc bars which I can't get myself to replace. They are just so 
comfortable. I have since picked up a lugged Miyata Triple Cross which I 
put mustache bars on and and lugged Bianchi Advantage that I put drop bars 
on. I toy with changing the bars on the XO-5 and then I just ride and 
forget about it.

 these inexpensive arc bars on a tandem and I really liked the position I 
 ended up in. So I thought I'd try it out on the hilsen.

 I think the stem reach might be a bit too long and maybe a touch higher 
 than I want but the position doesn't feel too bad.

 Glad it worked for you.  Today, I ended up doing 25 or so miles (not on a 
 Riv)  with temperatures around 30 to 35F.  MUSA long pants, thin wool long 
 sleeve top under a Hincapie wool jacket and the plastic thing on the head 
 with no covering of vents.  Oh, and Capo long finger gloves.  Was just 
 about right.  
  
 Tomorrow will be a chicken and stay inside if we get the predicted 6 to 8 
 inches of snow.

 Just now: 54*F, cross wind gusting to 17, Wabi Woolens ls jersey as
 single layer, 1/4 (cut lengthways, then each section sectioned again)
 Pendleton Clan Boyd scarf wrapped 1 1/4 times about neck under collar
 kept sensitive neck very comfortable. Best at about 6 wide and 24
 long -- mine a wee bit short for optimum ease of use, but once you get
 it in place it seems to work.

 Yesterday I tried the 6 section of lower lycra tight -- relatively
 lightweight: not nearly as good.

 After two aborted payment attempts, the silk mock turtleneck dickies
 are on the way -- 4-to-8-business-days.

 Next week: 30% chance of snow mid week nights; fleece gaiters are waiting.

[RBW] Re: A miles only cyclecomputer??

[Davidbea]

I  had one on my Gitane Interclub forty years ago and would love to pick up 
another for their simplicity.

 Any such animal?
  
 I lost my cyclecomputer. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing.
  
 All I wanna keep track of is miles.
  
 I don't care about speed much anymore.
  
 PLease advise.
