Re: [RBW] Any former paper boys (or girls) on this list?

[Lucky Turnip]

I can't speak to the topic of paper boys, specifically, as ours have also
been folks in cars, but the delivery-related thing I am starting to see in
my neighborhood is Door Dash, Amazon, and other delivery folks on bicycles.
I notice these people because they are not "bike messenger types" on
fixies, they're typically people of all ages and body types riding regular
mass produced mountain bike type things. The last guy I saw was wearing a
construction hard hat in lieu of a helmet. He did have a good assortment of
lights on his rig, an unremarkable modern Schwinn.

Re: [RBW] Re: rides sought

[Lucky Turnip]

Thanks for your reply. The scenery there is gorgeous (bikes included!)
I guess what I am wondering is if there are any favorite trails people have
to recommend in that area, we can put the bikes on the car to get there if
necessary (sometimes the only way to get to the ride with young kids.)
Can be mildly technical MTB or paved or gravel, our bikes do it all. :)

[RBW] rides sought

[Lucky Turnip]

I have a reservation for a campsite in Gualala (California Mendocino area)
and would love to bring the family bikes. We've been to the area before and
never brought bikes. Can anyone recommend any cool places to bike there
that are kid friendly for riders who aren't that cautious cycling on a
highway, for example? If you have a recommended ride there I can start
researching what might be best for us.

Riv content: I will likely bring my Atlantis, of which I will take great
photos in that gorgeous area.

Re: [RBW] handlebar snack/Nalgene/Hydro bags

[Lucky]

Yes, I am familiar with Makeshifter, they make nice bags. They're not 
making custom bags as they are very busy making and delivering the stock 
bags they currently make and sell. I'm familiar with the bags sold by 
Simworks, and Golden Pliers and similar bike shops (all the Riv dealers). 
I'm really looking for a hobby crafter person like Greg, who maybe does 
this on the side, or is just starting out,  or is trying to get their 
product out there.

[RBW] handlebar snack/Nalgene/Hydro bags

[Lucky]

Hey all,

I found a guy who makes handlebar snack bags (amongst many other bike bags) 
and I love the ones I got from him very much (he is @greg.newland on 
Instagram) but he's currently not taking custom orders. 

I know there are a lot of commercially made bags online but I'm looking for 
something interesting and fun, crazy fabrics and so on that I can't seem to 
find "off the shelf". 

Anyone want to recommend an individual who is taking commissions right now 
or who maybe isn't one of the big name places that I've already seen? 

By "snack bag" I mean those tube shaped stem bags that can hold a large 
bottle or a mess of snacks, or whatever, typically with a drawstring. 

Again, looking for individuals here more than companies (Chrome, etc)

[RBW] Re: ISO: 1" quill stem with removable faceplate 110mm

[Lucky]

I'd like a slight rise or at least no drop. I have a couple different bars 
I want to try and one of them is the VO Klunker, thus the faceplate stem 
request. Yes, 25.4 clamp, thanks for asking. 
I'm aware that the older Salsa stems don't have a very long quill. I'm not 
looking for a dirt drop stem. I recall there was a recall, yes. It doesn't 
have to be a Salsa, I just put that out there as an example. 
I know quite a few folks on here have a parts box they're sometimes looking 
to thin out. I have a couple of Technomic stems, for example, that I 
probably should get rid of, but I wouldn't think of them unless someone was 
looking for one. So I figured I'd ask before going the usual C-list, Eboy, 
or retail route. 
So, if anyone out there has a longish 1" quill stem for sale, email please.

[RBW] a few parts for sale in Sacramento

[Lucky]

I'm trying to piecemeal the funds for a bucket list bicycle that's come 
available. Have for sale in Sacramento the following:

Velo Orange Porteur rack, barely used: $125
Nitto Mustache Bar, wear from tape and use, structurally fine: $20
Vintage Sakae MTE-100 seatpost, 25.4: $40

Items are on "the list" locally or I can send pics directly since I don't 
have an online photo account. Send me an email if interested. Prefer local 
pickup or you pay shipping (which is probably not worth it).

[RBW] Re: Platform bike racks, again

[Lucky]

So far my number one choice is the 1UP. it looks like it grabs the front 
wheel forward enough to not hit my front racks. The biggest front rack I 
have is the Pelago rack. It's quite expensive but looks like a lifetime 
piece of kit. Also seems to be sturdy enough to carry four heavier bikes, 
that's my only concern on a rack like the Swagman, for example that has the 
racheting hook that grabs the top tube, is that it can't hold the weight of 
four heavy bikes. My 12 year old is riding a 22" mountain bike frame 
already, so large bike are many years in my future. 

I thought the North Shore looked cool but I don't think the "hooks around 
the headtube" method will work with my basketed bikes. 

That said, I'm interested in hearing others' experience.

[RBW] Platform bike racks, again

[Lucky]

I've read a few of the conversations about best platform rack for hitch, 
but to be honest, my head is spinning! Just when I think I have narrowed 
down what to get, I run into another issue with the rack for one reason or 
another. 

SO, who is using *which* platform rear rack for bikes with front racks and 
baskets? I was just about to buy the Thule rack and then it occurred to me 
that the hook over the wheel might not work with my bikes, all but my son's 
have a front rack and basket. 

The One Up looks nice? 

I need to carry four bikes on the back as I can no longer lift them to the 
rooftop. And don't want to scratch up my nice Riv and Riv-adjacents. 

Thanks for any advice!

[RBW] Needing front rack advice

[Lucky]

I just put a Pelago front rack on my older Stumpjumper and I’m very impressed. 
I wasn’t familiar with the brand beforehand. It has three options for “feet” at 
the bottom which solved my issue of only having rear braze ons, and several 
options for the top allowing you to fiddle with height and levelness of the 
rack. Bonus for me was it also came in black. The hardware and rack look very 
quality.

[RBW] FS: 19.5” Specialized Rock Combo (Nor-Cal)

[Lucky]

The facts: I bought this bike on impulse because I’ve wanted one for years and 
the opportunity presented itself. Right from the start I was hesitant about the 
narrow stock bar and tried a few different ones, but it’s made for the 
Specialized BB-1 that’s on it, so it’s all back together again.

When I got it, it was in rough mechanical condition beyond my abilities and I 
sent it to a pro-mechanic for an overhaul. It got all new cables and housing 
and fully tuned and lubed, wheels trued, all bearings repacked.  I’ve since 
ridden the bike in different terrain and unfortunately it’s not for me, so I’m 
looking to sell.

Stats:
19.5” RockCombo 
Cosmetically clean but not perfect. Some scrapes and peely decals, but they’re 
mostly all there, with shiny white pearl paint and no rust.
Suntour XCD derailleurs and barcons
Specialized flag cranks
Black Dia-comp cantis 
Specialized GX-23 rims
Soft and fresh Smoke and Dart skinwall tires
New donut bar tape

Will come without a seat or pedals.

Asking $950. If you want it shipped you can pick a bike shop and pay packing + 
actual shipping because I don’t want to take a chance damaging it. 

I have a lot of pics which for the life of me I cannot figure out how to post 
here. I’d appreciate any help with that I can get?

[RBW] Re: Dirt droppish questions for smallish impulse buy

[Lucky]

I want to thank those of you who chipped in on the handlebar question.

I think I have determined that this Rock Combo just doesn’t fit me, no matter 
what bar I put on it.  So it is all back to stock, will be up for sale. 

Thank goodness for my always perfect Atlantis.

If anyone’s always wanted a Rock Combo, let me know.

Thanks! 
I haven’t forgotten the pics. I’m on vacation and apparently can’t add pics on

I have the Atlantis with me and will have the RockCombo back when I get home. 
Then i can give it a proper test drive. 
And take some pics.
I will say this: the Atlantis with dirt drop stem and Albatross bars...I’ve 
done it (for years) but it’s not really the leverage bar I need off road at 
this point.

[RBW] Dirt droppish questions for smallish impulse buy

[Lucky]

Yes! Pics are coming! I had to drop the bike at a repair shop friend because I 
didn’t have the tool to service the bottom bracket. But prior to this I rode it 
in stock configuration and I don’t actually think it’s too small. I think I had 
to adjust to its design. I think the stem is high enough but the reach is a bit 
long. And the drops are too deep. But once I have it back I will take pics. 

I just want to hear about different types of dirt drop-pish bars. Maybe a bit 
more shallow?

[RBW] Re: Dirt droppish questions for smallish impulse buy

[Lucky]

Well, while I can (likely) do this (pending checking out the process to put 
pics here) I can also say that the bikes that fit me are nothing like this 
bike in geometry/layout...so that's possibly unhelpful? 

This is a 19" RockCombo, and I ride an 18" MB-1 and a 53cm Atlantis. My 
MB-1 is set up with Titec riser bars and the Atlantis with Albatross bars 
and an 80mm dirtdrop stem. 

But, if you want to look at bike pics, I can do that. Thanks!

[RBW] Dirt droppish questions for smallish impulse buy

[Lucky]

Greetings all, allow me to introduce myself as I never really have, but now I 
need advice and figure I’m more likely to get it with a proper hallo first.
I got into Bridgestones in my teens (late 80’s early 90’s) and eventually 
Rivendell, as is often the way. I like steel bikes of this aesthetic and 
currently in the garage have an early Atlantis, my college race bike MB-1, 
Bianchi San Jose with a porteur bar, and so on. I like sitting up now due to a 
variety of injuries I have incurred over the years.
So today I did that thing we all do occasionally, which was purchase a bike 
I’ve coveted for years: a nearly all original Specialized RockCombo, knowing it 
wouldn’t fit right. Now. I know that I’m between sizes in RockCombos, and also 
that they’re pretty scarce, so I bought this one which is just a hair small. 
But...not really, with the stock bar. But I dislike this bar.

Finally! The point of my rambling. Since I brought the bike home I have tried 
the following bars with stock stem, in lieu of the too narrow stock Specialized 
BB dirt drop: MTB riser, Northroad, Mustache, VO Porteur...none of these are 
right. The bike was made for a dirt drop and I want to sit up so...what are my 
options? (Besides selling, smarty pants)
Another consideration is the stem is 80mm so I could grab some length that way. 
Anyhow, thoughts on various bars please? 

Appreciate any input.

[RBW] How & when & why did you find Rivendell? What was your first bike or part from them?

[Lucky]

A bike geek since I was 11 or so, I discovered Bridgestone in 1991 when I went 
shopping for a mountain bike to take to college. Couldn’t swing the MB-1 I 
wanted so I bought a General Pro Shadow. 
In the late ‘90’s I attended Interbike for work and bought an Atlantis. (Still 
have, many miles and incarnations later) Currently sporting an Albatross bar 
because I am older. 
In between I was a BOBlist member and have had a variety of BOBish bikes pass 
through my hands. By the way I did eventually get that MB-1. 
Passing on the Riv/BOB inspired madness to my kid, we’ve built him a 
lovely’90’s Rockhopper all-rounder.

[RBW] FS: 55cm Cheviot, Sacramento

[Lucky]

Greetings all, while I’ve just joined this list to post my bike for sale, I 
used to be a longtime member of the BOB list. I have a 1995 Atlantis which is 
not for sale, and this Cheviot which is. Reason for sale: wife’s bike, not 
quite right. Will likely build a BOBish classic MTB up for her, or find another 
Atlantis.

Not looking for trades. Located in Sacramento, Orange Cheviot, just tuned 
including wheels trued. VO wheels and fenders, Wald basket, thumbies, 
Albatross, Brooks, Shimano. $1600 firm and I will only meet at the local police 
station to sell.
