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

2023-02-28 Thread '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?)

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.

 Well, it's officially still winter here in Dallas,TX. although

 I'm on my 1981 Austro Daimler Puch Vent Noir II and he's on his

 It was a good day to be out and about.

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!

Takashi

@ All: Not as sexy as the snow photos many of y'all are sharing, but here 
is a Quickbeam glamour shot,* last night braving 25 MPH gusts whipping off 
the Hudson River.  Br!

@ Takashi: I second Paul's comments about your Japan photography.  Stunning.

@ Steven: I'm also a NYC rider (Quickbeam "illegally" stashed in condo 
stairwell) and a film photographer (the Sackville trunksack always carries 
a 1984 Leica M6). Speaking of which, here's a recent Quickbeam glamour 
shot* made with granddad's 1949 Summitar lens on Ektachrome E100 slides:

appeared on Flickr in 2007?

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.

Thank you for sharing.MoVelo, your bike looks like a very useful machine, and a perfect one to ride on a road like that.Jason, great picture as always, catching the atmosphere so well that I almost feel like being there.Eric, as others commented in another thread, that's a beautifully restored bike.And I love that you are taking it to that beautiful place right after building it.Slin, that's a beautiful Platypus. Looks like a warm day?Luke, that's a spectacular view. I assume it's very cold on a windy day.Ted, now THAT's a winter ride foto! That white road looks like inviting the cyclist to ride as far as possible.Matti, oh, another happy new Sam rider! That green color, along with shiny fenders and a classy front bag, looks great.Enjoy many miles on it!We had some snowfall last night and today:Takashi

I like those "real world" photos of your Clem.
