[RBW] Re: Rivendell Garage Sale - what'd you get?
Oh man, I had so much fun at the RBW garage sale. I didn't score anything big, just a lot of little things... I got a rain bag cover for my acorn box bag $5, wool arm/leg warmers $20 total, a 650b front wheel (Twin Hollow to Deore Hub) for $20, another unknown rim to deore rear wheel w/ 9 speed cassette $20, 2 Jack Brown Blues for $5!!!, free fatty pumpkin tires, Drive side sugino xd-2 Crankset w/ rings for $30... Overall, I think my best deals were 650b front wheel $20 and 2 new-ish condition Jack Browns for $5. :) My coolest thing, was surprisingly the rain bag cover for my Acorn bag. It's perfect for randonneuring! Major props to Rivendell folks for being so cool even when it was chaotic.

I picked up some wool leg warmers (a little too big sadly) and a noodle/technomic/silver-shifters/shimano-brake cockpit.mostly for the brakes and the silver shifters. May try out the noodle on a bike, but don't know that I have a bike for the technomic stem... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I picked up a complete toyo-Atlantis (54.5) - minus a seat/post - for a solid deal. A *little* on the large side for me - but I should be able to dial it in shortly. I knew I wouldn't have to be too vulturous given that I was shorter than most folks there, and yet I still broke down and bough the bike 5 minutes after the starting bell. Not sure why I was the only person looking at bikes/frames for the first 10 minutes of the sale? Happy to have my first Riv, on time and under budget. :) Now to sell my slightly too big for me 56cm RB-1 ' 92 ... hmm. (I know, wrong forum). :p -Andy On Sunday, November 18, 2012 3:27:20 PM UTC-8, Philip Williamson wrote: I am honestly sorry for folks who couldn't make it, but I had such a good time, I have to share. http://www.biketinker.com/2012/rambles/rivendell-garage-sale-haul/ My best score was a bunch of MUSA knickers.

Philip: Thanks for posting. I wish they'd give us a bit more notice when they schedule these. It's an all day drive (each way) between me RBWHQ so it would make a great long weekend to do the sale then a day or 2 of riding. Maybe next year. dougP On Nov 18, 3:27 pm, Philip Williamson philip.william...@gmail.com wrote: I am honestly sorry for folks who couldn't make it, but I had such a good time, I have to share.http://www.biketinker.com/2012/rambles/rivendell-garage-sale-haul/ My best score was a bunch of MUSA knickers.

Here's mine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/85709120@N07/8197638682/ Most of it (bars, seatpost, FD, probably crankset) is for my wife's recently acquired Heron Wayfarer F/F, which we are building up into her first touring bike. After yesterday she's itching to get the rest of what she needs and is super excited to build it up. The dyno hubs were also a screaming deal. Super excited, this will be my first dyno.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Garage Sale - what'd you get?
I went with two other Rivendell-aware riding buddies and had a blast working through the bargains and chatting with other friends whom I've not seen in person for a while (e.g., Manny A). *Best score: *8 pieces of Wooly Warm baselayers. At $5 a piece, it felt like stealing. Sure, they were all XS and I'm 5'10, but the wife was very happy so I didn't need to do too much explaining for... *Coolest scores I don't actually need: *A NOS Atlantis frameset. Yup, I was the other guy lugging around an Atlantis frameset. They sold at least 2 Atlantis framesets and 1 almost-complete bike that day. The old I picked up was one of the early Toyos and there were some paint chips and other superficial marks (can't be beausage since it actually hasn't been used), but at the price they were asking, I *had* to scrounge up the cash. It was at least the 3rd time that a discounted Atlantis knocked. The first was a barely used one from Box Dog Bikes in SF. I saw the online ad and hurried over during my lunchtime. I almost crashed into another gentleman going through the BDB door but being gentlemen, we proceeded to invite the other to go first. He eventually did but he also *bought that Atlantis! *Oh well. The second time was at another Riv garage sale. A bit of hesitation and it was sold to another gentleman who was just slightly less undecided. I suppose the third time's a charm so now an Atlantis shares stable space with my commuter LHT. *Coolest score I actually need: *SP dynamo hubs for $20 each. Just in time as the runtime of my old Dinotte lights are getting mighty short. I can't even run the light on high anymore as the current draw depresses the battery voltage so much the light thinks we're out of power. I'll need to build the wheel and buy a compatible light so this will be a month-long project.
