[RBW] ORe: WTB: Silver2 Thumbies

[Nikko in Oakland]

Oh, oh. also open to any of the following: 

   - single thumb shifter mount with shifter (left OR right) 
   - single thumb shifter mount with Silver2 Shifter (left OR right) 
   - VO Thumb Shifter Mounts 
   - Single VO Thumb Shifter Mounts 
   - Not Paul Thumb Shifter mounts for Shimano, unless they're priced 
   REALLY well. 


THANK U

I'm trying to learn to love my flatbar build, and right now, downtube

If you don't mind us inquiring, about how much $$$ was the seller looking

 Buy the Goodrich if it fits and can handle the tires you want to run. 
 They are rare and built by a true craftsman. The quality of Curt's builds 
 are second to none and most custom builders would attest to that and they 
 have a ride to match. I know because I had Curt build me a 650b bike that 
 would fit 42's back when the 650b's were just starting to become popular. 
 I've had at least 6 different Riv's. All fine bikes but not as fine as a 
 Goodrich. You won't be disappointed and if you are you'll certainly be 
 able 
 to find someone to take it off your hands. 

 As a point of fact, the All Rounder might very well have been made by 
 Curt Goodrich.  If not him, then Joe Starck or, maybe Richard Sachs.  If 
 the builder is an important consideration to you (and I'd agree it might 
 as 
 well be), then you won't go wrong with that one. 

 The Ram is one of the earlier ones - probably orange prior to the 
 re-paint (and brake mod?).  It and both of the Homers (or Homer and 
 re-painted Saluki) are Toyo built.  Also very high quality.  (The lugs are 
 the giveaway)

 Hey all. A local STL fellow just posted some bikes

 There are a couple frames I'm not familiar with. Since this is where all 
 the experts are, is there anything I should be looking for? I assume the 
 grey AHH and the brown Ram are custom paint jobs. Is the orange one likely 
 custom or an early Riv? And thoughts on the Goodrich? They all look to be 
 fairly similar builds, and I'm wondering if nothing differentiates when I 
 ride them, if I should consider anything else before buying (assuming the 
 boss OKs it. Ha). I do see the brakes are different on the AHH models. 
 Thanks, everyone.

Re: [RBW] I want to see your Legolases

[Nikko in Oakland]

yup, these are the UD 700x42mm Rosés, and certainly the biggest tire I can 
fit on the bike comfortably. I also think the bike really feels at home on 
700x38mm tires, but I don't like the cornering control on steilacoom tires 
vs the Rosés, so I'm sticking to that. If I have to move to slicks in the 
roadie form, I'll probably stick to gravel king/RH 700x35 or 700x38mm 
slicks.

Oh, and yes, there is a silly build mistake on this bike where my cable

anyways, so I'm just living with it.

[RBW] WTB: 700x35mm Tires

Hello!

I found out I can't throw fenders over my 700x38mm tires. Anybody have 
700x35mm tires of the Herse or Gravelking varietals? 

PM me!

[RBW] Re: Randonneuring Bike

[Nikko in Oakland]

Bill (via Toshi) 
Off topic, but I gotta hear more about this delineation between a racing 
cyclocross bike and an aggressive gravel bike. I have my own thoughts on 
the same topic, but i'm happy to treat a cyclocross bike as a gravel bike 
any day. 

On topic, I was dithering pretty heavily on whether or not my Legolas was 
going to be my brevet bike or not, and decided against it for some of the 
same reasons Bill mentioned. A bit too responsive (great for short rides 
and hard corners), and it's set up slightly more aggressive than my past 
rando bikes. I was initially hunting down a 60cm Rambouillet for brevets 
and commuting, but ended up stumbling upon a good deal on a Boulder Brevet 
that is literally the perfect bike for me. 

My two cents... Ram, AHH, Sam, Roadini, Roadeo are your better bets for 
rando, from best to least best (mostly because of luggage options and the 
such). At Del Puerto 200km 2021, I did see someone on a really sick ruby or 
red Atlantis.

[RBW] Re: New 650b Rims from Crust

[Nikko in Oakland]

I have a pair of the 700c complete wheelsets and I probably put them 
through more rough stuff than they were intended to be on. 

I've ridden them for about 500-600 miles, about 40% gravel (nothing super 
rough) and 60% road in the Oakland/Berkeley Hills. I ride my bikes kind of 
hard, with a lot of out of the saddle, high torque efforts. I'm never 
riding any trails that I'd be more comfortable on a front suspension bike 
on. The wheels were machine built, so they went out of true rather quickly 
which was expected. At ~200 miles, I gave them a little touch true to keep 
them laterally true. But shortly after (~70 miles later), they went out of 
true again, and I attributed this to my lack of experience truing wheels, 
it being machine-built wheel, how light the rim is, and/or how hard i'm 
pushing them. 

An acquaintance mentioned that he had to true his wheelset about 5 times 
before they stayed true. I'm not super well equipped to true wheels 
appropriately, so this would have gotten expensive for me to get a shop to 
do this regularly, so I just got them detensioned/retensioned by a trusted 
wheel builder. The wheel builder mentioned that the rear hub is a bit 
crunchy already and he suggested I replace the bearings and clean out the 
internals to get 'em smooth again. I wasn't thrilled to hear that, but it's 
all good. 

Anyways, the wheels are light and really responsive, I like how quickly 
they spin up, and they're priced really well. But since I'm not a 
wheelbuilder-type, I think this is the last machine-built wheelset I ever 
buy. The wheels were pretty, light, and cheap-ish. But as a friend says, 
strong, light, cheap; you can only pick two.

[Nikko in Oakland]

Thank you for the curiosity & nudge, Bill! I agree, this is definitely a 
forever bike. I've just come to terms with the fact that I'm never going to 
be someone who wants to go on a loaded tour, and I'd be leaning on my 
front-loaded low-trail bike for a lightweight overnight or a credit card 
tour. For the last year, this bike has only been used for a handful of 
commutes and weekly farmers market runs. It deserves a fuller life. 

*Below are some details that might have been omitted...* 

Addressing Bill's questions:

   - Left-side Silver 1 Downtube shifter, for FD shifting 
   - Rivendell Silver Crank length is 170mm. (< 50 miles!!!)
   - Saddle height: 75.5cm, my PBH ~87cm. Standover is listed at around 
   ~83.5cm.

Other details: 

   - The front derailleur model: Shimano XT FD-786 (~500 miles)
   - The rear derailleur model: Shimano Deore RD-591 (~500 miles)
   - Cassette: SRAM 970 (~300 miles)

Other resources! 

   - Bike Insights 
   <https://bikeinsights.com/compare?geometries=5b8578f548f3a30004789af0> 
   - Hunq Release Sheet from Riv 
   <http://www.cyclofiend.com/Images/rbw/pdf/original_hunaqbook_pdf.pdf> - 
   AKA Hunaqbook 


 I can give the bike a good ol' wash and clean up/re-lube the drive train 
too. I realize I probably should have hit some spots with touch up paint 
and cleaned it more before posting, but here we are.

[RBW] WTT: My used Fleecer Ridge for Antelope Hill

[Nikko in Oakland]

Hey there, 

I have Fleecer Ridge tires on my Hunq but I'm not using it for off-road 
stuff anymore and it's primarily ridden on pavement. 

Anybody want to trade my used Fleecer Ridge tires for your Antelope Hill 
tires? Tires have about 500 miles of use on them with plenty of life left. 

Nikko

[RBW] Re: NBOD: New Bike Ordered Day! The mythical canti-Roa!

[Nikko in Oakland]

I love that you're gonna have a Legolas and a canti-Roadeo. Other than the 
bb drop, what are the main geometry differences between the two? The ST/HT 
angle is more forward, correct? And they both will have different fork 
rake? 
Also, I think it's a solid choice for the tuxedo paint. That Sam is one of 
my favorite Rivs to look at.

 There are a number of threads on which I've mentioned a desire to own a

 the Legolas, it came up in a thread about brevets on Rivs.  I've made no 
 secret that I wanted a Canti-Roa.  There have been Canti-Roms, Canti-Rams, 
 even Canti-Homers.  I'm on record saying that my ideal Riv road bike would 
 be a Nobilette build, constructed of Roadeo/Legolas tubing, Roadeo 
 Geometry, but the clearances of my Canti-Hillborne.  Putting my money 
 where 
 my mouth is, I'd stated a few times that if any of you would buy my 
 existing Roadeo, that I'd put all your dollars right back to Riv and order 
 a Canti-Roa.  

 Well, it finally happened.  Lister Corwin needed my 59 Roadeo frame and 
 fork, and today I sent all his dollars plus several of my own back to 
 Rivendell to order a Canti-Roadeo.  Mark Abele and I are ironing out the 
 details.  I've got no idea yet how long Nobilette's queue is at the 
 moment, 
 but I'm very excited.  I have no clue whatsoever on color yet.

Re: [RBW] Legolas Rackless Dirt Rando build

[Nikko in Oakland]

Thanks all 
MoVelo, it's a pearl paint job, not matte. Probably just the light hitting 
it funny. The hub... I don't know. It's the Crust wheelset 

. 
Andrew, good call. I actually should rotate that chain ring 
Greg, thanks. It's serving me well. I just gotta get it trued after 200 or 
so hard miles, but that was expected.

Thanks y'all.

Re: [RBW] A Hunq

[Nikko in Oakland]

Thanks! 

PBH is ~86-87cm
Saddle Height in the photo is probably closer to 75cm. My suggested saddle 
height from fits is ~75.5cm-76cm for my more spirited bikes.

[RBW] Re: WTB/WTT: Green Rambouillet - 56cm or 58cm

[Nikko in Oakland]

Ooo! I might be on the higher end of the spectrum... I thought I had to 
size down because frames ran big, but that's not true for this rambo. 

I think I'm actually looking for a 58cm or a 60cm!! I'm using my 57cm 
Ritchey Road (disc) as a comparison.

[RBW] WTB/WTT: Green Rambouillet - 56cm or 58cm

[Nikko in Oakland]

Anybody holding a 56cm or 58cm Rambouillet in green (no other color will do 
for me)? 

I want a bike that I can turn into some rando-ish, fendered bike, and the 
Rambo is the bike I have swooned over most. 

For trades, I don't have many riv-y bikes, but I do have a 55cm Ritchey 
Road Logic (rim) or a Crust Evasion Lite (L).

[RBW] WTB: Silver or Dia Comp Downtube Shifter or pair of Bar End Shifters

[Nikko in Oakland]

Hey y'all, 

I'm running a SRAM RD now, but can see that crapping out soon and having to 
move to this Shimano XT RD. I have a right downtube shifter, but need a 
left one to match. My right DT shifter is a Dia Comp one 
. I'd love a 
matching one, but would be fine with any Silver DT shifter, too.

Alternatively, if someone has a pair of bar-end shifters lying around, I'd 
love to buy those used. 

Holler at me, 
Nikko

Yes, I actually did the *sme *thing. Once I run over top the tab 
instead of under, it started working as expected. Finally took a longer 
ride yesterday with the shifters and it's a bit stiff, but I think that's 
just me getting used to it vs having them on the downtube. I feel like it 
was just a rookie mistake on my behalf, but happy with them now.
