After aligning the fork and rear triangle, I did some practice brazes, hand mitered some tubes, chucked it all in a basic fixture and did my best to match the original geometry based on a chart Will @ Rivendell kindly shared with me. To my surprise I managed to produce a frame that rides straight and has held up to almost a year of riding.

I got a 56 Suz a few months ago and experience aligns with Mack's. Really
versatile--fun on road and trail.

Frame is pretty light, so you could do a minimalist steel frame build. I
have dynamo, cliffhangers, racks, but don't mind the weight.

It is a looong frame. Hard to fit on car racks, trains and that sort
of thing, but also hard to wipe out with those chainstays.

[RBW] FS: Tubus Front Pannier Rack

2023-11-09 Thread Ryan Ogilvie

Hi all,

Selling my Tubus tubular steel front pannier rack. I bought this in 2010 
for a tour across the Canadian Rockies. I've used it a bit for commuting 
and light bike packing since. It's has some decent scratches (only a few go 
to base metal), but remains a solid point of attachment for front panniers. 

I don't really have much use for it, but would likely keep if it better fit 
my Susie. Fitting it to the Suz would need some mount extensions and seems 
like a lot of work for something I don't really need any longer.

Would sell for $30, shipping included. 

I don't see this guy on Tubus' website any longer, so if you want a pure 
(no shelf) pannier rack, let me know. 

Pics here: https://share.icloud.com/photos/04bGhddBn0CGm391zrpyOuRkg

Best,
Ryan

Re: [RBW] Rapid Rise Resurrection

2023-10-30 Thread Ryan Ogilvie

Happy to report that this guy works quite well on a 11spd. For the time
being,

I swapped out the jockey wheels from my 105 derailleur and on the stand it
works great. We'll see once I put wheels to dirt/pavement.

This guy (an RD-M951) came with one jockey wheel (the guide (top) wheel)
which was secured by a male hex m5 machine screw. The fasteners from my 105
were too short for that wheel, fine for the tension wheel (as was the
bottom tension wheel screw). Not sure what's going on--if guide wheel is
wider on this model--but currently working fine.

I have replacement jockey wheels on their way, but still curious if the
jockey wheel machine screw is different for the top (guide) wheel.

Cheers,
Ryan

[RBW] Rapid Rise Resurrection

2023-10-24 Thread Ryan Ogilvie

I picked up a Rapid Rise derailleur medium cage (RD-M951) at the Nutmeg tag 
sale. It's missing the lower jockey wheel and the wheel that it had was 
secured by a (hex head) parts can replacement. 

I'm wondering how people would approach getting this guy back in 
action--that is, getting a replacement wheel (or wheels) and replacement 
screws. 

A twist to this story is that I'd like to see if it would work on my 11sp 
cassette. Curious, too, if people have tried. 

I have a Clipper 42/26 crankset connected to a 11/34 cassette. 

Anyone have know if cages on these are interchangeable with other Shimano 
derailleurs? I'm wondering if it would make sense to buy a donor derailleur 
for a screws and cogs--perhaps even get a long cage in case I need it. 

I'd like to put this guy on my Susie. Not opposed to betting a 8 or 9 speed 
cassette, but my 11 speed works well and my pocket book would prefer to 
conserve the parts I've already own. 
That said, my main motivation is to resurrect this Rapid Rise. Open to all 
ya'lls thoughts. 

Best,
Ryan

Man, just built up a bike, but these got me looking to do another (which I

[RBW] ISO Dynamo Lights

2023-09-09 Thread Ryan Ogilvie

Hi all, Anyone interested in selling a front and/or rear dynamo light? 
Looking to add some lighting to my recently built Suz. 

I don't mind if the wiring is a bit of mess. I can clean that up. Just 
looking for working lamps. 

Thanks!
Ryan

Check our Maxis Refuse. Pretty heavy duty. I've run them in NYC commuting 
and, if I've had a flat, it's only been once over what's got to be a 
1000mi. 

I have the brown side wall but they make em all black.
