[RBW] Re: Updates on, and further questions regarding the Riv Road Standard 1995

[Saturday Mark]

Adrianna,
I would submit that this bike is kinda small for you. Most gals 5'5" are 
more of a traditional size 51/52, and would have a longer top tube. The 
closest recent Riv would be the Rambouillet . Check out sizing specs etc on 
it, the 50 and 52 were the 26" wheel also. Grant would have told you to be 
on a 54. 

Possibly you could make it fit, but .something that fits most gals like 
this would end up with saddle pretty high relative to bars. Maybe good for 
road, but not so mush on gravel/dirt.

I think this is a gorgeous frameset and "worth" the money. To get something 
of this caliber made today would be pushing 3K. 

I would bet on the 125mm spacing being a typo, as 125mm was out of style 
for a long time before that. 

my .02 $

[RBW] Re: 26.8mm seat post diameter??

[Saturday Mark]

26.8 was just as common as 27.2 back in the 70's and 80's, prior to the now 
more . Riv has done 26.8 on a bunch of the step throughs since way back 
when. 

With that said, 26.8 is probably in short supply right now due to pandemic, 
but...

Nitto makes in crystal fellow and s83
Thomson makes 26.8
Kalloy Uno as well as their Crystal Fellow copy
+ a bunch of private label (Dimension, Sunlite, Origin8... etc)

[RBW] Re: Question for people who have ridden Compass/Rene Hearse tires

[Saturday Mark]

Thats a pretty fat tire for a Dyad. I would submit that your usage case is 
probably different than a lot here, so this is a bunch of speculating. 

I assume you aren't running tubeless?
That narrow of a rim usually calls for higher tire pressure to prevent tire 
from rolling off.
The answer: (RH tires + your load * rim width subtracted from tubeless 
equation/riding surface+ knobs per sq inch = your ideal pressure)  
I have never heard anything but good reports on the RH knobbies, so I would 
think there is a sweet spot somewhere, where is Jan?

[Saturday Mark]

Well, if you spend $$ (maybe 400-500ish at Waterford) to get it refinished 
you have a frame that would be $3000 to buy. 

I would think that someone that wants the benfit of the S and 26" wheels 
(to fit into case easily) that 1500 would be a fair all around ;) price!

Perhaps I value these inanimate objects too much...

Hi Steve,
Saturday Cycles in SLC has an 'almost' used Betty Foy for sale. Sold it and 
due to unfortunate circumstance we got it back after being ridden perhaps a 
hundred or 3 miles. Bike as new. Built with dirt drop and albatross, 
typical Riv type kit with Sugino triple, Shimano bar ends 9spd, Berthoud 
fenders.

New price was $2600. Looking to get 2000 or best reasonable offer.

I can gather pics for you.

 Just for the sake of asking, what would I notice if I decided to go after

 I am between 6'-1 and 6'-2, but have a similar (87cm) PBH to you, with 
 a long torso.   The stand-over with the stock 28mm rolly polly/ruffy tuffy 
 tires is just perfect for me - basically touches flesh when flat footed 
 but  no fear of banging into it whatsoever, in any kind of riding I'd ever 
 do on this type of bike.  And you might remember from the original Riv 
 flyer/catalog that they sized these with shorter than normal top tubes, 
 specifically to encourage people to buy the larger of two workable sizes.   
 On that note, I do wish mind had a longer top tube to work with my odd 
 proportions, but it's still the most comfortable and smoothest riding bike 
 I've ever had (including two other rivs), and wouldn't sell it for 
 anything.  I had some big bags on mine, before I found my all rounder, 
 and used it more heavily loaded than it was intended for too, with no 
 complaints.

[RBW] Re: Front derailer for 48-38-24: Shimano, Campy, IRD?

[Saturday Mark]

The IRD triple is great, however it has been out of stock for quite
some time. Good luck finding one.

The current Tiagra triple seems to work fine. Other than that you are
probably going to have to scour Ebay and Craigslist...

[RBW] Re: Looking for good routes in CO, CA, UT

[Saturday Mark]

St George Utah sports several great rides right out of town. Weather
there can be Cali like in winter. Check in with Red Rock Cycles in St
George for pointers when you arrive. They don't deal Rivendell, but
great group of guys.

 a trail? I'll be pretty busy but am hoping to be able to get away from
 the holiday craziness for a couple of hours a day.

 Thanks!

 the adjustable zoom that is on here sucks!  Can not get it tight enough to
 not move up and down on the ratchet.

 Ideas?

[RBW] Re: Which Rivendell bike?

[Saturday Mark]

See inserted comments.I think it's about even between the 2 basic
choices.

On Dec 7, 2:31 pm, JimP thefamil...@gmail.com wrote:
 Which Rivendell bike would you choose for the following:

 Approx 3500 acres of Hardwoods and pastures,very hilly with ridges and
 bottoms (Hunq/Bomb). Surrounded by asphalt gravel and dirt roads 
 (Hillbourne). Horse trails.(Hillborne)
 Dowhhill to the bottoms from normal starting point(Hunq/Bomb). Long uphill 
 treck
 (~ 1 mile) through pastures back(Hillborne/Betty, as you might need to get 
 on/off a lot in 'pastures'). Dirt road travels to the bottoms(Hillborne) so
 you can cross a shallow (~ 1 foot +/-) creek(Hunq/Bomb) and pedal uphill on 
 the
 dirt road(Hunq/Bomb) then to asphalt the long way around (4-5 miles) 
 back(Rodeo). A few
 steep hills from the bottoms to the tops of ridges (I would probably
 have to walk the bike up these but going downhill would be fun).(Hunq/Bomb)

 Thoughts? Recommendations?

[RBW] Re: Looking for Small Part for Non-Aero Brake Levers

JB Importers part number for this widget is 1421. Most shops have a JB

  This probably won't make sense to anyone except those who are familiar

  I have a set of the older Shimano 600 non-aero brake levers (the ones
  with the holes in the levers).  But it seems I have lost the little
  piece of metal stop that fits under the hood, where the non-aero cable
  would sit on.  This is a vaguely cone-shaped small ferrule (for lack
  of a better word) that sits on the tip of the brake lever body, which
  is then covered by the hood.  Without this piece, the cable just falls
  into empty space.

  Anyhow, if anyone knows what I'm talking about, and has a suggestion
  on a hack that would do the job (keep the housing in place), pls let
  me know.

[RBW] Re: MB Sizing Question

[Saturday Mark]

That bike is a 19. This would be too big for you if you want it set
up as a stock bike, however if you plan on Albatross-izing it into a
city bike, it might work OK(maybe better than OK).

This bike would have a standover around 76cm, so you could ride it
safely.

Just my $0.02

[RBW] Re: Trade: pristine B17 for a classic Flite or Turbo or San Marco Concours

I have a Concor Lite new never mounted that I would trade for your
B17.

 it with something better. Nice, honey brown, no scratches or discoloration.
 I don't know how many miles Sam Hill testers put on it at and around Riv Wld
 HQ, but I've not yet put quite 100 miles on it.

 Flite must be classic and pretty much as new; ditto for Turbo: no flash
 versions.

 Will also grudgingly entertain offers to buy.

 Thanks.

[RBW] Re: Heron may rise again!

[Saturday Mark]

This is interesting. I chatted with Richard Schwinn about this last
year, and he told me about this Bicycle Classics thing. I sent a
couple emails at that time but received no response. ?? The funny
thing is that just this last week, I heard rumors again, and it looks
like Aaron's in Seattle is also advertising that they are resurrecting
Heron. www.rideyourbike.com/heron.html ???

Sort of like Where is Waldo ...

 Right column, six paragraphs from the bottom.  Brief blurb, but it
 appears Bicycle
 Classics may be taking over production of the Heron bicycle which has
 been dormant since Todd Kuzma made the painful decision to stop
 production.

 I hope this is correct. Herons, whether made by Riv or Todd have
 always been great, sensible bikes for the money.  Bicycle Classics is
 a nice operation.  Greg (the proprietor) is a great and honest person
 who knows a lot about bikes.

 Only thing is maybe instead of Heron Greg should call it the Phoenix!
