Nice Romulus! We don't see many of those, though I know they're out there.

Re: [RBW] Re: Sharing Your Winter Ride Fotos 2023

['Bikie#4646' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Russell, You are correct. I had a brain fart on the location of Tom 
Oswald's businesses (bicycle shop and frame building). And that's despite 
the fact my wife and I visited from Virginia over a decade ago to ride the 
nearby Pine Creek Trail across the state line in NY.
Tom is a very nice fellow. And yes, he has honed his craft well since 
learning it from Dale Brown (of Cycles de Oro in N.C.) when he worked at 
Cycles de Oro. My feeling is that custom steel bicycles remain a bargain, 
given the amount of time lavished on each. (That would apply to a custom 
Riv too of course.)
Good luck on you repair search. (If you are near Boston, isn't that still a 
hot bed of frame building?)

Re: [RBW] Re: Sharing Your Winter Ride Fotos 2023

[Takashi]

Paul, I know very little about "old" bikes, and I've never known about 
Austro Daimler bikes. Yours looks like a very meticulous made beautiful 
frame. Is it made of stainless?
Also, your friend's Homer looks very cool & clean.

Dave, love that mirror-like pond; it's as if you see sky both over your 
head and underneath you.

Luke, that looks like an "easier" ride compared to photos in your previous 
posts. SF area seems to be a great place with various terrains.

Stephanie, Grant would no doubt approve your use of the bike. Those blue 
Sackvilles make mere grocery rides joyous, don't they?

Russel, I agree with Rich that your bike looks great. Now I'm thinking 
about which of my bike I should use green bartapes and yellow cables...

Eric, so there are two airfields nearby? I seldom have chance to look at 
airplanes up close, that must be fun.

Hi Paul — I think the photo you posted is a different location, but also

 Well, it's officially still winter here in Dallas,TX. although 
 yesterday I met up with a friend at White Rock Lake in mid-70's breezy 
 temps and enjoyed a ride.

 I'm on my 1981 Austro Daimler Puch Vent Noir II and he's on his 
 about 3 year old Homer Hilson.

 It was a good day to be out and about.

I'm going to have to call that a spring ride photo, not winter. I don't 
think I'll see anything like that until late April. :-) (Well, I will be 
riding in the Los Angeles area in early March)

Takashi,
I’m sorry that I didn’t catch ‘spellcheck’ screwing up your name in my 
previous post. My apologies, and thanks again for the pictures of your part 
of the world.

Really enjoy your pictures-beautiful landscapes in a part of the world I am 
not familiar with and a good looking Hunqapillar. We had 6” or so of snow

Re: [RBW] Re: Sharing Your Winter Ride Fotos 2023

[Takashi]

Ted,
The place I took the photo is about 5-minute ride from my room.
Snow is mostly disappeared now.
Snow bank indeed makes road narrower, but I ride mostly on non-busy back 
roads, so no problem.

Slin, I'm pretty sure that your wife will love that beautiful Platypus!

Eric Marth,
Good ride with friends AND seeing an owl very close. What's not to like??
And photos in your latter post are also beautiful. It doesn't look like 
winter except for the 3rd photos with ice in it.

Eric Norris,
I second Paul's comment that your photos make me feel like I'm there. It's 
always very interesting to see historical buildings during a ride.

Paul, thanks for photo of Eric's Hillborne. That's indeed a gigantic bag!

Stephen, film photos have different atmosphere from digital ones, and yours 
are so great!
I also live in a tiny apartment room with 2 bikes in it. I'm interested in 
A Homer Hilsen but no more room.

Ryan, riding in strong wind (headwind or tailwind) must have been very cold.
But looking at that blue sky, I also would have hopped on my bike.

Richard, that bike looks like a perfect choice for having fun on snow!

Dave, great photos as always! Monochrome image highlights interesting 
patterns of tree shadows.

Will, although there are no snow in the photo, it surely looks like a very 
cold day!

@ Steven: I'm also a NYC rider (Quickbeam "illegally" stashed in condo

Re: [RBW] Re: Sharing Your Winter Ride Fotos 2023

[Richard Rose]

Hello Kim. Too soon to tell. I have yet to complete the build. I am waiting on cables. It is complete enough for me to pedal (slowly!) around the driveway & down the street to check fit & get a feel for it. I think I am very close - it feels very familiar. I am trying to duplicate my position / touch points from the Clem. It’s a bit tricky going back & forth between bikes with measurements. The Gus sits higher off the ground - higher bottom bracket & bigger wheels. Same saddle on both bikes, B17. Bosco bars on both, 550 steel on the Clem, 580 aluminum on the Gus. Saddle position nearly identical on both bikes. Gus is longer so I have a shorter stem (parts bin) on it - 80mm vs. 135mm on the Clem. I think I need a 100mm for the Gus as the reach to the tips is about 2.5cm shorter on the Gus. All that said, it feels fantastic. I am very optimistic that it will be a blast to ride on the MTB trails I frequent. When mounting the Gus I do miss the true step through Clem. I need to work on my hip flexibility! But the Gus feels a bit stiffer which I think is a good thing for singletrack.Sent from my iPhoneOn Feb 1, 2023, at 10:25 AM, Kim Hetzel  wrote:Hi Richard, How does your new Gus feel and handle ?Kim HetzelYelm, WA.On Wed, Feb 1, 2023 at 6:22 AM Richard Rose  wrote:Been meaning to post a few pics.Sent from my iPhoneOn Jan 30, 2023, at 4:34 PM, Slin  wrote:Takashi - Thanks, I just built up the Platypus for my wife.

[RBW] Re: Sharing Your Winter Ride Fotos 2023

[Takashi]

Thank you Garth.
Yes, it was indeed "Midnight Sun." When I looked up and stared at the moon 
it was almost blinding.

Dorothy, riding in winter rain is much tougher than in snow IMHO.
And your Clem looks like the embodiment of what Grant was thinking when he 
designed them.

Jamin, they're beautiful photos!
Those steep mountains look very much like what we have here in Japan. Looks 
like quite a workout if you want to enjoy the view.

Ted, I'm sorry to hear that. And that's definitely a Winter Ride Foto!

Piaw, I was able to see photos without an Amazon account. That collapsed 
car!
I agree that riding a closed road is pleasant.

[RBW] Re: Sharing Your Winter Ride Fotos 2023

[Piaw Na]

Get well! I've been riding, getting stuff in between the bouts of rain here 
in the Bay Area. We did a ride today, but I wasn't on my Roadini, since 
with all the mud off pavement I wasn't going to try riding off pavement 
today.  With trees and power lines down here and there, there are lots of 
road closures, but of course whenever I see one of those road closures, I 
always take the road because that means there are no cars. Today's ride 
went through a road that was closed because of a downed tree. Big problem 
for cars, no problems for 
cyclists: 
https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/20mdGi-mTmqLNt3CzgepPg.UPriPwYAeuySDvHIUr8fF2
  
(sorry, you'll have to login or create an account with amazon to see the 
photos). Strava link: https://www.strava.com/activities/8361168853

With all the rain that's been forecast it doesn't look like I'll be riding 
off pavement until at least February.

Oh  those are lovely Moonlight photos Takashi !  I agree that about

I like to call such illumination "The Midnight Sun"  as truly ... The

Leah,
Thank you for the video, your Platypus with lots of lights is so fabulous!
It sure looks like Michigan is a tough place to ride bikes when there is 
heavy snowfall.
As someone commented cross country skiing might be fun.
Here's a photo from last year:

Paul,
Thank you. It's natural that higher, mountainous places get more snowfall.
West Virginia has more mountains? Now I understand why John Denver sang 
"West Virginia, Mountain Mama..."

Dave,
I agree with Eric, your photos are great!
" Sorry for the number of photo"
No, not at all. The more photos the better.
I scrolled through your Instagram posts, they're all beautiful!

John,
The monochrome-ish photo is a genuine "Winter Photo."
Maybe it's the high latitude that makes daytime shorter than in most places?

Eric,
It's same in Japan that places where there is little snowfall don't have 
infrastructure to handle snow.
Two inches of snow turns Tokyo into a chaos.

[RBW] Re: Sharing Your Winter Ride Fotos 2023

[Eric Marth]

Takashi — the picture was taken in the evening, returning from a short 
ride. 

Nice snow pics, Dave! 

Paul is right, we generally don't get a lot of snow. We definitely don't 
have snow on the ground all winter. We can get a big storm with a couple of 
feet every few years. Back in 1996 a blizzard rolled through and we were 
out of school for over two weeks. That sort of thing is rare. 

What happens frequently is we get between 3" and 6" and we don't have the 
infrastructure or the driving knowledge to carry on and everyone does 
stupid stuff and they don't know how to drive and it's a real mess. 

Last winter we got a really gross and scary storm. Not a lot of snow but it 
was very wet and heavy, unusual for our part of the country. A lot of stuff 
broke like streetlights and power lines and transformers, which is not 
typical. The snow also stuck to the foliage of evergreen trees in an 
unusual way and many, many trees were felled by the snow accumulation and 
lots of large branches lost. Just after the storm we could hear large 
branches snapping from pine trees at the park nearby, loud explosive 
cracks. The city and residents were still working on cleanup into the early 
summer.

 Brian,
 Spectacular view, and oh, those clouds pattern in the sky!
 And your Sam is so cool; to my eyes it's perfect.

 Paul,
 Thank you, I'm glad to know that you enjoy my photos.
 Looks like Virginia is a very beautiful place, I can almost feel crisp 
 air and sweet smell of dry trees.

 Leah,
 Wow, blizzard to green in one week?
 It gave you a chance to ride your beautiful Platypus, so it was a good 
 thing, I believe.
 Please post more photos!

 Eric,
 Was it dawn or evening? Either case, beautiful photo, as always. Looks 
 like you had a very nice New Year's Day!
 Paul's and Eric's photos make me wonder - doesn't Virginia have much 
 snowfall?


 Takashi

Takashi,
To answer your question about snow in Virginia, generally we get less than 
we used to. (No surprise there.) Eric is less than 100 miles north of me, 
but we are both in Eastern/Central Virginia, more or less. The farther west 
in the state, the higher the elevation and that portion gets snow more 
often. Though, most of our area gets snow heavy enough to send snow plows 
out fewer than 2-3 times a year, generally.
Often, the snow is just deep enough to ride comfortably when fresh without 
a fat bike. I haven't done this trick since these photos in 2010, but for 
some dumb fun (and a workout) I went up to the local high school's football 
field and rode around the field in concentric circles (ellipses, I guess) 
on my single speed bike. The total mileage was nearly 10 miles!

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

Takashi, 

Yes, this Platypus looks like an exotic thing on the barren landscape this 
time of year. We really did lose 2 feet of snow to warm temps in a week. 
Wild. I don’t have more ride photos yet but I do have a video I shot when 
winter arrived. I hope you can see it. I’ll attach my Instagram link below. 
I hope your winter continues to be mild so you can ride many miles, and I 
look forward to hearing about them. Your winter scenery looks gorgeous. The 
ice pillars!!!

 My son is working hard on learning his Japanese. Maybe one day soon we 
will see that lovely countryside for ourselves. 
❤️ Leah

I love riding through those long winter shadows, and the way they blink 
past on a forest road ride. It's amazing how unique and recognizable the 
landscape of the eastern deciduous forest is! Even before I saw the mention 
of Midlothian, I wondered if the photo was from NC or VA. Nice shot!
