[RBW] Gofast f/f: 6.0 lb even!
I just disassembled the '99 gofast; the first complete disassembly in 19 years. 13,509 miles (I know; it got ridden less than the others in many years). Phil hub bearings as new; Tange Rollerball hs as new; Phil bb a bit scrunchy. I'll have the hubs and bb bearings replaced or renewed in any event. Found a very slight warp in the front wheel, which I will let the shop true since the nipples are aluminum and old. Weight of frame, fork, and Rollerball headset: 6.2 lb; minus the headset, that means as close as nevermind to 6 lb even for a 57 cm frame with very long head and steerer tubes. Not bad! -- Resumes, LinkedIn profiles, bios, and letters that get interviews. By-the-hour resume and LinkedIn coaching.

[RBW] Gofast f/f: 6.0 lb even!
Not bad indeed Patrick! I expect you will be glad to get it back on the road soon. It makes me recall my Joe Starck built Riv Road bike from the same year. I called it my triple Joe as it was built by Joe , painted by Joe Bell and had wheels built by master wheelbuilder Joe Young with Phil hubs. I wish I had that one back. Speaking of steel frame weights I recently built up a 1980 Centurion Semi Pro and the 23.5” frame weighed 4.65 and the fork 1.70 for 6.35 lbs total. Your Joefast is under that one by about 1/3 lb. Makes me wonder what my old Riv Road weighed. It was a 61 or 62 cm I think and a heavier seat tube so probably in the range of my Semi Pro. Of course I also am more interested in how a bike rides than saving a few ounces of weight. That said, reading the thread on a sub 20 lb Roadeo got me thinking of dropping the weight on one of my bikes to just 22 lbs. The Centurion is currently at right at 24 I think.

Re: [RBW] Gofast f/f: 6.0 lb even!
It's a Rivendell custom, again, built by Joe Starck and delivered in April, 1999. Grant very graciously acceded to my pleas for a very un-Rivendellian single-purpose machine (the sole and single purpose being, to have fun riding it), stripped of all braze ons except dt bottle cage bosses, tho' the builder did add a little "conceit" in the way of a little wing-shaped chainstay bridge that no one can see unless you look for it, and a nice heart cutout on the bottom of the bb shell. "Gofast" is simply my way of saying "built with no thought for rain or loads or lights." On Sat, Feb 10, 2018 at 12:38 PM, wrote: > I've never heard of gofast bikes.

Re: [RBW] Gofast f/f: 6.0 lb even!
BTW, that 6.0 lb is for the bare frame and fork (57 c-c, long steerer and head tube 'cause it's designed for 559 road wheels that measure 24" to 24 1/2" in diameter compared to 2 1/2" taller for 700C).

Oh, I never knew Rivendell made a model called GoFast. Very cool. Not a bad weight for a steel frame I guess.

Re: [RBW] Gofast f/f: 6.0 lb even!
“Gofast” is a slang term for a light, stripped-down road bike. It’s shorthand to avoid people saying, “What that bike needs is fenders and a basket!” Be a great model name along the lines of the Roadeo and Roadini, though.

I'll let Rivendell use the name for a new model, as long as it looks like
my '99 Joe. ("Joe" is also slang shorthand, not a model name.)

Hey All, That is impressive. With no emphasis on weight I ordered a road bike frameset from Soulcraft. With the supplied full carbon fork it weighs less than the six pound mark. But with the also supplied Soulcraft unicrown road fork it is over six pounds. Chiming in from Redding, Ca.

Re: [RBW] Gofast f/f: 6.0 lb even!
I was talking to Chauncey on Sat, who picked up (literally and figuratively) the '99 Joefast for the before-described alterations. I exclaimed proudly, "6 lb even frame and fork!" He judiciously nodded and said, "Not bad for a Rivendell." Upshot, he would use thinner wall tubing on a similar build of his own. But I know that this Joefast won't break, and 6 lb even is pretty darned good in my book.

I don't know, I'm afraid. I think that the specs for my customs ('99 and
'03) have been lost and, at any rate, I never asked. Chauncey could tell
me, I'm sure, but I haven't asked. FWIW, he used Tange heat treated
thinwall road tubing for the "road bike for dirt."

Re: [RBW] Gofast f/f: 6.0 lb even!
Oh, OK. That not-knowing is what I normally expect from you. You are
traditionally much more of a fit/handling/feel person, not a wall-thickness
fretter. I was kind of surprised you brought up wall thicknesses at all,
as it's normally not your thing. There are lots of folks on the boards
that you and I frequent who claim to be able to tell the difference between
7/4/7 and 8/5/8 and insist to know the butt-lengths and taper-lengths on
every tube. I think people like you and I are a little bit skeptical that
those folks really can feel the differences to the level of precision that
they insist on knowing. I asked for the details because normally I
wouldn't expect you to bring up wall-thickness at all. Carry on.

Re: [RBW] Gofast f/f: 6.0 lb even!
The sole reason I picked up on Chauncey's remark is that, if I ever get him
to build me a road bike, it's likely to be even lighter than 6.0 f/f. You
are right, I generally focus on how a bike feels and only then, if at all,
move further to find out what tubing or trail or what have you causes that.
But I wholeheartedly retain the option of adding tubing wall thickness to
my list of things to fret about.

I was talking to Chauncey on Sat, who picked up (literally and
figuratively) the '99 Joefast for the before-described alterations. I
exclaimed proudly, "6 lb even frame and fork!" He judiciously nodded and
said, "Not bad for a Rivendell." Upshot, he would use thinner wall tubing
on a similar build of his own.
But I know that this Joefast won't break, and 6 lb even is pretty
darned good in my book.

Equal opportunity fretting! "To wring hands or not to wring hands: THAT is the question!"
