I think these are few and far between, but can imagine there might be one 
in your parts box.

[RBW] Re: Let's imagine a Tallux with a removable faceplate.

[eflayer]

At least someone could bring back the cromo approach of the Salsa Sul 
quill...with longer quills. That was a lovely, svelte looking thing in 
multiple angles and could even be powdered to color of your choice. Maybe 
Richard Schwinn could do it.

[RBW] Re: new to me Al Franken Bike

[eflayer]

I lied. When I went on my first ride I felt too much pressure on my palms. 
I wondered what to do. I exposed another centimeter of quill and tilted the 
grips up a couple more degrees. Also raise the seat a tad and moved it back 
a tad too. I think the grip area comes back a bit too far while the bar 
feels like it is optimal fit position right now. When I put my hands on the 
cork grips it feels as if my hands are too far back toward my butt. More 
forward would allow for more balanced weight distribution. Then hand could 
be comfy on the grips and on the fronts.
 
Makes me wonder about trimming an inch or so off the ends. 
 
I hear the internal diameter that allows bar end to be installed only goes 
into the bars so far, so may cut em an move to thumbies.

[RBW] Re: Has anyone gone from drops to Albas and regretted it?

[eflayer]

I own 4 bikes. Nearly all of my riding is fast and smooth with my local 
club. All 4 had drops, but the grocery getting old Cannondale mt. bike was 
not getting ridden very much. So it was time for an experiment and that was 
with the Alba. It took quite a bit of fiddling with all of the cockpit 
variables to finally get the fit to work for me. It was really challenging 
to get the hand positions for the grips and the front curves to work right. 
But I am pretty sure the dial is correct now.
 
One of the surprising variable (for me) was the impossible design of cork 
grips. They never fit my hands correctly and the bump on the very end felt 
like a bump. I have used normal cork bar tape at the grips and at the front 
curves and now I gots me the cruiser I was hoping for.

Aeropress - Let me know how that test goes. Aeropress - right side up or up

Maybe plastic, but a finely tuned intrument that suits its intended purpose

I was in my local shop today and they had a built Soma Saga bike. Yes it is 
tigged, but the welds were as smooth as any tigs I have ever seen. A fine 
looker. I took a short test ride and liked it a lot. But I think/hope the 
Privateer will suit my non-touring needs even better. I love the lugs, but 
for this town bike, tigs should be just fine.

[RBW] Re: aghast by Rivendells aeropressing technique.

[eflayer]

Before the Aero, I used to make drip coffee with Melita plastic cone and 
paper filter that fit the cone. Made good coffee that way for years. Even 
after 2 cups in the morning, I would occasionally like to treat myself to 
some stronger rocket fuel from our local Peet's. I still make my coffee 
with the same house brand French Roast from Costco that I have been buying 
forever, but with the great taste of Aeropressed coffee, I almost never 
crave an ooh la la from someplace else.
 
I think the many youtube vids about the right way to do Aeropress coffee 
are actually quite funny, cause I think it is challenging to screw it up.

[RBW] FS: Nitto Technomic 26.0, 130 mm

[eflayer]

This was part of the Alba/mt bike fit experiment. It is used, has a number 
of not deep surface blems, but pretty decent above the min line. Not for 
your show bike, but good for your commuter or for your own fitting 
experiment.
 
130 mm is pretty few and far between.

[RBW] Re: New Albion Privateer - not the best face yet, but getting there

[eflayer]

Rode the Privateer about 20 miles today. It seems similar or better in 
terms of overall riding experience to my Rambouillets, Bleriots, and Gunnar 
Sport. I'd bet if you could ride it blindfolded and the others too, you'd 
be hard pressed to pick a winner. Now I know about lugs and aesthetics and 
their value and their cost. This one, in my opinion, spells big big bang 
for the bucks. It looks good too.

[RBW] FS: Shimano Deore LX RD-T661 SGS MTB Rear Derailleur 9-speed

[eflayer]

Riv used to sell these, but are now few and far between. I have had one of 
these stashed in a drawer for a while. Think I was attracted as it is an 
all silver look. It was installed once, but never ridden as I believe I 
changed my mind to use a shorter cage at the time. No grease or grime, but 
a couple of small, tiny nicks from being in the drawer. At least a 9.5 out 
of 10 condition rating.

[RBW] Riding Albatross compared to drops

[eflayer]

So I got the New Albion Privateer completely dialed in with Alba bars and 
have done about 50 miles. My other bikes all have drop bars and are all 
meant for fastish club-type riding = no baggage. The more upright Alba 
riding position is a new sensation and I was wondering how climbing and 
descending would come off. And both are like a whole new experience. For 
climbing I am staying in the saddle more and definitely use more leg power. 
And noticed when push comes to shove, I can get on the fronts of the 
bars and stand up on the pedals to get even more power. Descending is 
another whole story since the center of gravity seems up there compared to 
riding leant over on drops; tops or bottoms. I think the Privateer with 
Albas will be a great addition to bring some diversity to the stable.

[eflayer]

I think he might do bike builds for people he knows. Not sure if he does

Think he built it to check it out, not so much to make it a daily driver. 
Apparently, it is not destined to be in his collection.

[RBW] Re: Sugino triple crankset w/ Shimano brifters: anyone using this combination?

[eflayer]

Don't forget about front derailleur...depending on what you have had 
before. Some would suggest shimano mt front derailleurs are not compat.with 
road shifters, so a road front derailleur should work best. I have done 
Shimano brifters with Sugino triples many times.
 
If not Sugino, then move up to Shimano 105 triple and the world of 
Hollowtech outboard bearings = best invention almost ever.

[RBW] FS: Shimano Ultegra 6603 triple cranset, silver, 170, new

[eflayer]

Brand new, never installed, but has been in the box a while, so has some 
light surface hairline scratching on the non-drive side arm. None are deep, 
but just a bunch o small ones. Drive side is nearly perfect.


This is the last Ultegra triple with normal bolt pattern that allows the 
installation of granny down to 24 teeth. Newer Ultegra triple models will
not allow smaller than 30 tooth inner due to weird bolt circle dimension. 
Current 105 model still has 74 BCD inner, but those come with 50 tooth 
outer ring.

Looks like this:

[RBW] one more time: Albatross and Moustache

[eflayer]

I want to try Albatross on my commuter. Once upon a time I did a trial run 
with Moustache bars and was not so pleased...just preferred drop bar hand 
positions more. Regardless, when I set up the M bars, they were done to be 
in a riding position similar to my fit with riding on the hoods and tops of 
drop bars. Wondering those of you use and like A bars, do you tend to set 
them more in a bus driver's steering position ie so your back is more 
vertical or do you tend to position them further down ie even or below the 
saddle so you are in a more leaned-forward and aero form? I am not talking 
so much about angle of the grips as height at the stem clamp. Hopefully, my 
question makes sense...and I know this will involve some trial and error.

[RBW] Re: Drop Bar Newbie Qs

[eflayer]

Noodles are a lovely shape, but the drops are pretty deep. I had them on a 
number of bikes, but nearly never rode in the drops. Now all my bikes are 
sporting compact bars from FSA. The reach to tops and hoods is definitely 
shorter than Noodles, but with shorter reach to the drops, and more 
extension of the drop rearward, for the first time in my later years, I 
ride in the drops on a regular basis. I sometimes wish for a longer flat 
section approaching the hoods, but FSA Omega compact bars suit me quite 
well. Omegas are made only for 31.8 bars, but Soma and Origin 8 and others 
make them for 26.0. Oh yeah, some think compact bars don't look cool and 
traditional and I agree. But we make choices.

[RBW] FS: Gunnar Sport 60 with Waterford threaded steel curved fork

[eflayer]

Selling 1.5 year old Gunnar Sport, 60 cm, with custom Waterford curved 
blade, threaded steel fork. Less than 500 miles on it and is in very close 
to perfect condition. A tiny pencil point dot in the clear on the top tube 
and a bit o black paint from the dropouts. The headtube is 1.125 inch so 
can accommodate modern carbon forks. I wanted a somewhat traditional build 
so ordered 1 inch threaded steel fork and installed with headtube reducing 
shims. Works perfectly, looks good too. Has rear rack and fender eyelets 
and front fork fender eyelets. Takes medium reach brakes.

This is a beautifully tig welded frame as you can see in the Picasa album. 
Also, I ordered this frame with the more subtle and smaller Gunnar decals.

Package as new was $1250 plus shipping

Selling frameset with threaded steel fork, seat clamp, and FSA Orbit 
headset. 

$950 shipped in the West, $975 to the East.

[RBW] Re: Interested in purchasing

[eflayer]

I know it is not the lugged thing you are looking for, but I do have a 
lovely 60cm Gunnar Sport with custom matching threaded Waterford curved 
blade steel fork. That has a 58 level top tube.
 
I am selling the frameset only. Nearly perfect black paint, just a couple 
of tiny nicks, and the smaller, more subtle decal set. Just in case.
 
 
Thanks, 
Eddie

[RBW] Re: When is a bike to heavy?

[eflayer]

many of my rides are 25-50 somewhat fast, and in some ways moderately
competitive group club rides. my lighter bike is quite nice for that
use. so hopefully we are seeing many different ways in which we all
use our bikes...and perhaps more importantly for this rambling thread,
that we each of our own values about life, bikes, and the real
lightness of being. i was never trying to convince anyone else to get
a 17 lb carbon bike, just alluding to my experience of it. and you
should all get one :). the 3 steel bikes are in the garage and the
carbon one is in the house. they hate hanging out together.

[RBW] Re: Brooks Repair Question

i am guessing that the bolt and nut are actually two separate pieces
and if they were separated you could ease off the nut enough and the
bolt would fall out of the nose piece. just a guess.

have this conversation with the owner of wallbike.com:

he is an incredibly nice guy and should know the definitive answer to
your question.

or you can see that Brooks calls it an assembly which might suggest
two separate pieces:

FS: Brooks B17 titanium black and trimmed (some call it butchered)

This a nice condition used saddle that I had trimmed by a horse saddle
leather worker here in Berkeley. I am starting to sell my extra B17's
and this is the first on the list. You can see the leather tabs tied
underneath for extra support and the saddle has a brand new tension
adjusting bolt too.

I found it to be quite comfy and it can add a fine look to right bike.
I am willing to sell it with a 2 week money back guarantee. Just ship
it back to on your dime in the same condition you got it and I will
refund your paypal.

$135 shipped

[RBW] Re: Rivendell influence - Maybe the racer crowd is getting it?!!

[eflayer]

there is no comparison between the Rambouillet and the Cronus except
maybe two things; they both take fenders and the Cronus has a tall
enough headtube and a long enough fork steerer tube to almost enable
matching the bar height on the Riv. Riv is 58 with upjutting Salsa
quill. Cronus is a 58 with 215 headtube, 5cm of spacers, and 102
degree stem.

After that they are quite different. Steep angles, high bb, short
chainstays on the Cronus. Riv is spingy in a good way by comparision
and Cronus seems to fly by comparison. Cronus carbon is stiff and
slightly not forgiving, but is probably 7 lbs lighter than the coupled
Riv.

Riv goes bouncy bounce over bumps, Cronus goes cerchunk! I like the
Cronus plenty and have enjoyed its lightness of being. Don't care
about fenders on a carbon bike and would like to try a Specialized
Roubaix as I think it is closer in geo to my sweet Riv geo.

[RBW] Re: WTB: Brooks B 17 (Saddle lament)

[eflayer]

i just removed a b17 from a bike and replaced it with a wtb pure v
saddle. me and my butt buddy seem very pleased at this time. we like
the b17...and we are thinking maybe the wtb is a nice alternate.

[RBW] visited Riv yesterday - Simple One

[eflayer]

was in the hood, wanted one of the new water bottles. pedaled over to
make the purchase. two simple one framesets hanging on ceiling hooks.
i am not an ss or fixie person, but longtime fan of Riv work. so all i
noticed was the paint and the color thereof. a great choice by the Riv
team. ya just won't see it anywhere else on any other production bike.
but when people see it, they will start to choose whatever color it is
for their customs. used valvoline.

[RBW] re: 2 top tubes - Y2TT plus (at the end of it) divisive cultural reference

[eflayer]

I think it is interesting, for lack of a better word, that GP is addressing 
double top tubes in his latest posting on the Riv site. I respect the living 
daylights out of him and thank him everytime I ride my coupled 58cm Riv 
Rambouillet. I even go out of my way to never abbreviate "Rambouillet."
 
On the other hand, my eyes and brain have never gotten together on the 
looks. I get the logic, I get the utility for bigger bikes. But without 
being an engineer, I really can't imagine anything smaller that a 62 cm, 
well built, would ever benefit from 2 tubes. Maybe a big big rider with lots 
o added baggage.
 
And it sounds as if in his posting, he is suggesting the 56cm ones (which 
must be the heart of the buying population) are not moving so well..
 
If I am interpreting his comments correctly, it makes me sad the inventory 
is not moving. And he sounds ready to eventually acknowledge that many of us 
are not ready to embrace the 2TT idea.
 
He is steadfast in a way that earns him my respect, and...

[RBW] Re: Stem raisers

cycling is a dangerous crap shoot even with the very best and tuned 
equipment. from looking at the photo, it looks as if you are not anywhere 
close best or tuned. too many hazards out of your control. why not control 
the ones you can. if that thing is flexing, you are 240, seems you have the 
leverage to easily pop that thing right off of thereespecially in some 
sort of a panic braking situation. just an opinion from a long way off.

[RBW] Re: Ride from Rivendell to Mt Diablo

[eflayer]

there a many criss crossing bike paths in Walnut Creek. My bike club gets 
to Diablo by taking the Bart to the Pleasant Hill Station. There is a path 
that starts there with a fine new expensive bike bridge over Treat Blvd. So 
go over the bridge toward Treat, then make the first bike trail left onto 
the Contra Costa Canal Trail. That trail will take you into Heather Farms 
Park. From there you exit the park on San Carlos in the direction of Mt 
Diablo. If you do a google map, you will be able to see how San Carlos and a 
couple of more turns takes you to the Diablo north entrance road. Then it's 
climb, climb, climb.

[RBW] Re: Question for modern geometry race bike only riders who later went to Rivendells.

[eflayer]

logic might suggest that when your weight is more equally suspended by your 
arms and your butt you might be more comfortable. regardless of what Riv 
suggests, the more upright position puts more weight directly on your butt. 
maybe the other way is better for you. Grant would prefer that you are 
happy.

[RBW] Re: Bleriot ride report...

[eflayer]

Bleriot. I tried the Bleriot two different times. Lovely to look at. On the 
other hand, I was used to lighter frames with 700c wheels with nothing 
bigger than 25 mm tires. For my pavement club rides, I found the Bleriot to 
be sluggish too. Could not put my finger on it, but decided I prefer 
lightweight steel and faster, better, thinner tires. Good luck with your 
ride.

My Specialized Roubaix has the bars at the same height as my other steel 
bikes. They all fit just about the same, but the Roubaix is usually more 
fun to ride due to the lightness of its being.

that said, off the rack bikes with threadless forks, especially a full 
carbon fork, often are limited in steerer length and/or how many spacers 
you can install and stay in the safe zone.

photos of my coupled steel Curtlo and my swoopy carbon Roubaix with

i actually think the next size bigger might be a better fit for me. that 
way seat would not be pushed all the way back on a setback post and stem, 
with longer fork steerer and headtube, could be flatter.

[RBW] Re: Bay Area paint job recommendations?

[eflayer]

I had my old Kogswell P powdered by a regular old powder coater. My lugs 
did not disappear at all. Maas does both powder and wet paint. Brent 
Steelman used to use Maas for all his powder so I think they must do a way 
better than average job. They do wet, but not sure about the quality of 
that work. And yes Spectrum does great powder, but not sure of the 
economics compared to great wet paint.

[eflayer]

Not saying Maas is a master of wet paint, but they do do wet paint as 
discussed on the their website: Liquid Coating

We use two component polyurethane coatings to meet the 2.8 EPA regulations 
for solvent emissions and meeting the high performance properties required 
by the business machine computer and electronic enclosures industry. 
Coatings may be applied in a variety of glosses and textures. We also offer 
smooth or textured coatings on structural foam and injection molded 
plastics such as polycarbonate, ABS and polystyrene, SMC, wood and metal 
substrates.

 Matching Powder Coating and Liquid Paint Colors

Do you need to match liquid coating and powder coating colors for the same 
job? It’s possible in many cases

[RBW] interesting history of the Bleriot airplane

[eflayer]

i just got done with a two week cycling tour in upstate Michigan. lovely. 
while there, i learned of the female pilot Harriet Quimby. she was 
supposedly born in MI and apparently quite the daring woman of her day; 
early in the 1900's. first woman to fly the Channel, but got no recognition 
due to the near simultaneous sinking of the Titanic. she flew in Bleriots 
and it sounds as if they were not tried and true as we now see in the 
bicycle named after the inventor of that plane. 
 
her story is summarized here and how she died doing what she loved is a 
sorta weird and quirky odyssey.

[RBW] Re: Roadeo Build

[eflayer]

for me "go fast" and downtube shifters don't belong in the same equation. I 
have used Ultegra 9 speed brifters on a number of bikes over the last 10 
years and have never had one malfunction. if you ride mostly on the tops of 
your drop bars, it is so much more efficient (for me) to be able shift and 
brake without moving my hands off the bars or the hoods. my drive train of 
choice is 9 speed, with 12-34 cassette, Ultegra outboard bearing triple 
crank (10 speed cranks work fine)  (with a 26 granny in place of the 
standard 30), and Ultegra 6501 brifters. Have not tried SRAM stuff as I 
have sort of standardized all the bikes on the above combo. Should say most 
of riding is fast, smooth, mostly club rides that include a ton o climbing 
here in the SF east bay and environs.
