Your photos almost make me regret selling you that Miyata.  I love(d) that 
bike!  I almost bought another 912 recently because that one kicked so much 
butt!  Do you need to sell it back?  

For a really nice budget substitute for a 59 Roadeo, give Black Mountain 
Cycles a look.  You know where to find my photos of mine.

Awesome pics. I need to find time to get out of Dodge on my rig and hit up 
some of these nearby camp spots. Looks like a great time.

For faster lighter riding you might be better off with the 912. The 650b 
wheel will have a lighter feel than a fat 700c. I have a Miyata 310 in 700c 
and it feels as good as the Ram. A rodeo might be zippier, a Hilsen is more 
toury.

Bill M., I tried to jump on that, but someone beat me to it!

Dave, I'd like to keep the 912 as it is: a wonderful, fairly zippy 
commuting bike w/38c tires.  For road riding, I'm looking to use 30-32c 
tires.  I'm fairly light (140 lbs.), and I feel like anything wider than 
that would be overkill.  Plus, I already have a great 700c wheelset all 
built and ready to go.  

Thanks for the helpful words and encouragement, all.  I'm pretty excited 
for to hopefully try out a new ride soon!

Unfortunate update:  

So, one of my bikes was stolen yesterday.  It was in my backyard not locked 
up to anything, so pretty much my fault.  I put too much faith in the 10 
foot tall privacy fence and the fact that the bike wasn't clearly visible. 
 But yeah, in my 14 years of riding, this is the first time, and it's way 
more aggravating than I'd imagined.  I'm no longer looking to buy a 
frameset for the time being.  I'm looking to punch something really hard...

Sorry to hear that, Nick,

About 10 days ago, I also lost a bike 
 to theft 
under similar circumstances. I left the bike in my back yard and ran into 
my apartment to grab something. 5 minutes later, it was gone. It was a 
enclosed yard, also.

I hope you can recover it somehow. I am still looking for mine.

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: Ram/Roadeo/Hilsen Frame (ready to take the Riv plunge!)

2015-01-11 Thread Nick Ybarra 
@Bill - Haha.  I'm planning on holding on to the Miyata and would probably 
only sell it if I acquired an upgrade like an Atlantis or Hunq.  Hey, I can 
dream...As far as Black Mountain, I'm definitely considering it, but I kind 
of have my heart set on a threaded fork.

@Joe - Here are Bill's original build pics:  
https://www.flickr.com/photos/45758191@N04/sets/72157629709054752/

I've since made some slight modifications, including shorter stem/wider 
bars, bar-end shifters, larger freewheel, front rack/basket, and a 
Carradice Nelson saddlebag.
