George, that is my ad as well.  I have had zero luck selling things there 
locally for sometime but I still post.  I will likely just bring it to the 
swaps this winter if it doesn't sell before then.

I'm flexible on price if anyone wants to make an offer.  Not Joe Bernard 
price flexible, but flexible :)

Now is your chance to live your dreams, Doug!

I have seen many copies of the Guv over the years.  Down to taking an old 
Raleigh with 531 tubing and building it almost to spec.  It is also why I 
wanted one as well.  The 531 tubing is amazing, it has a great set of 
"modern" parts and rides like a cloud.  I believe that Pashley got Reynolds 
to reissue the specific tubing just for this rig as it is out of 
fabrication.

If anyone would like any additional pics please PM me.  I'd be happy to 
discuss it in detail as well.

It's really smooth.  Not a quick accelerating bike but it gets.  Those big rims 
and tires are very plush.  And roller brakes are great.  I always have a

Bruce,

Sounds like a great stable for sure.

Can the older Fargo clear a 650B plus?  Did you ever run this with dirt 
drops?  I love the super high stack and low reach of this frame.  Just an 
awesome endurance bike.

I ran a 1x9 for a couple of years on my Surly Ogre with a Deore 9 speed rd 
and a Paul Chainkeeper.  I used to loose the chain on bumpy stuff and the 
chainkeeper was perfect.  In retrospect, I probably could have made the 
chain tighter but I liked to mess with chainrings sizes and left some 
slack.

Patrick, I love that you had a bike designed with a long enough headtube 
and angles to actually slam it upright!  That is awesome!  That is exactly 
what I would love right now.

I am good example of the ebbs and flows one goes through with geometry 
based on health.  I always rode aggressively and had pretty good saddle to 
bar drop.  When my lumbar discs started acting up I started riding with 
more steerer and even buying high rise threadless stems.  I have a Gunnar 
Roadie with a barely cut fork for that reason.  My Jones has an uncut tube 
and actually looks normal because Jeff designed it as so.  He even sells 
new tubes for 30 bucks with his Truss so you can always just go back to the 
drawing board.  

After having surgery a few months back the only way I can ride comfortably 
on the Gunnar is by using the full steerer.  If it was cut low like many of 
you mentioned I would have either sold it or bought a new fork.  

The threaded option in my opinion these days is almost a must.  If I wanted 
to slam, I could.  If I want a high rise, I can.  No need to worry about 
steerer tube materials and stress in the conventional sense.

2017-05-31 Thread Geeter
I have three small ones and "some" bikes.  I love my Hunq and will likely 
not ever get rid of it.  My suggestion is to keep the Hunq, and buy a cool 
kid carrier.  I have a Workcycles Bakfiets and in all honesty, it often 
gets the most road time of all my bikes.  I get to be out with my boys, 
take them places, run errands, and get a legit workout.  It is heavy, but 
it makes you a better rider, allows you to enjoy your other bikes in a 
different way, and gives you time with the kids that you can't spend with 
them in a trailer or even a rear mounted seat.  Yeah, its expensive, but so 
are most worthwhile things in cycling.  Rivs ain't cheap and we all agree 
they are worth it.

Re: [RBW] Re: Jones and Hunq

2017-05-23 Thread Geeter
Thanks Ed.  I agree that the Hunq is a comfy ride for sure.  I love it.

  My pic is a few replies back from here.  Build is:

XT 1x11
165mm XT cranks
XT hydros with 203/180 rotors
Thomson setback
Loop bars
Selle Anatomica Titanico X
Velocity Dually with Hope Fatsno Evo 4 front and XT rear
Schwalbe Big One 29x2.35

I am debating building a 650b plus wheelset as the Jones will clear a 
27.5x3.  Maybe that one for knobbies

Re: [RBW] Re: Jones and Hunq

2017-05-22 Thread Geeter
Ed, I bought a Hunq and now built the Jones because of my disc issues.  I 
recently had a microdiscectomy/laminectomy on L5/S1 and I really want to 
continue riding all day like I used to.   I am considering selling my road 
and cross bikes for good because I don't know when or if I will want to be 
back on drops.  The geo of the two bikes really has me comfortable and I am 
hoping that now after surgery I will be back in the saddle, pun intended.

I'm on my second Giro Aspect.  I love it.  It is well vented but doesn't 
look like a spaceship.  It can be had really cheap on clearance if you can 
find it.  Even comes with a velcro visor that looks like a bike cap.

George, I've had two 1x1's over the years both setup with either Fat Franks

[RBW] Re: N = ? or How do you decide how many bikes to own?

2017-04-03 Thread Geeter
Ah, the N+ question.
>
>
I have gone through many swings in the past years.  I used to be a 
craigslist hunter and would grab something and flip something else.  That 
was great in two regards: It allowed me to try so many bikes out while 
calming my curiosity, and it has allowed me to find out what I really want 
in a bike.  The later has been supremely importantly lately, as I have 
decided that a well built, superiorly designed in terms of geometry, and 
comfortable bike are most important to me now.

I have now narrowed the stable down to bikes with what I see as minimal 
overlap.  I ran into the problem over time of having multiple bikes for one 
purpose (which truly is a hard problem to avoid).  Current stable is:

Ritchey Swiss Cross
Gunnar Roadie
Hunq
Pashley Guvnor
Surly Pugsley (also have a 29 plus wheelset for it for a "Krampug")
Workcycles Transport (I've had it for years and I can't get rid of it.  It 
is a great take to anywhere and lock up kind of hauler.  All black with no 
decals, huge and heavy, tons of mounting places, built in lock, etc).  

The wife and I also share a bakfiets.  She has a Surly Troll, Pashley 
Princess, and Linus Mixte single speed.

I just bought a Jones Spaceframe, and while I don't need it necessarily 
with the Hunq, I have some unique purposes for it in mind.  

Glad to hear I am not alone on this place.  I haven't found a more 
practical hobby and obsession yet.

Wow, thanks for the tip on the 29 buck Big Ones!  Thats 10 bucks a tire

I have 29x2 Big Bens on my Hunq and I really like them.  I used to do all

[RBW] Re: My Hunq!

2017-01-18 Thread Geeter
Indeed!  Going to use it as a daily commuter (18 miler R/T) and do some 
local mixed use trails.  I might even try the Barry Roubaix on it in March. 
 I am probably just going to use it for most riding as of now.  Bikepacking 
over the summer for sure.

Bill, Jones now has a 23" spaceframe plus for riders too short for the 24" plus.

[RBW] Re: Jones and Hunq

2016-12-17 Thread Geeter
Another factor I have been considering, as Daniel mentions, is the tech 
differences between the two.  The Riv would surely be a much easier bike to 
fix on the fly and cheaply if necessary.  The EBB, 135 or 150 front hub 
(and boost rear of the new plus), thru axles all have their purpose but I 
have never used any of them on any bike I have owned (I do have a Pugsley 
with a 135 front but that would be the only exception). 

 My parts bin would suffice in a pinch for the Hunq, and that goes a long 
way sometimes.  I have talked to mechanics about "future proofing" when 
buying a bike like the Jones but I don't think threaded bbs, threadless 
headsets, and 135mm spaced hubs are going anywhere soon.

[RBW] Re: Jones and Hunq

2016-12-17 Thread Geeter
Thanks for the feedback thus far.  My one issue with the Jones is that I 
don't believe it will hold up to the Hunq as a commuter.  As an all day 
riding bike on mixed terrain, without technical riding, I suppose they each 
have their advantages.

This shifter setup has only a few hundred miles on it. 

 The shifters use Shimano pull ratio so will work with any 10spd Shimano 
derailleur as far as I know. Same goes for the RD - should work with any 
10spd Shimano shifters.

Asking $140 Shipped

email me off the board for info!

[RBW] Nitto dirt drop length questiom

2015-06-27 Thread Geeter
I was thinking about getting Nittp Rm013 dirt drops for my Commuter/SS cross 
bike.  They come in very wide widths for drop bars at 46, 48, and 52 cm.  I 
normally like a wide bar as I am a wide shouldered fella and would normally buy 
a 44cm road bar.  Any sizing help would be appreciated.
