Tom, Is that the Bomba that was on ebay last week? i was thinking about it but the TT looked kinda long, are you planning Bosco bars?

Thanks Ron Mc, I'm looking forward to the Windsor project, and to riding through the winter. Speaking of the Windsor project, one thing I am going to try is some Cromo Albatross handlebars. Riv had been out of stock on them, but they are now in stock. So, if you want that last chance at free October shipping, grab an Alba, and you will be almost there.

Ha, cool on the Windsor! I built my Dad up a 64cm version of one of those as a one of the weirdest town bikes ever. The head angle on his is crazy steep--must be 75 deg , and the fork is the old 0.833 American standard. He loves it, and I have to admit it's not a bad ride when I've borrowed it on visits.

Re: [RBW] Winter Projects, 2013/14 version
Yes, joe, the dreaded 0.833 When I was doing the inspection I was all: Japanese parts everywhere, that's a good signcalipers to the handlebar clamp-25.4! OK, lots of choices there!...calipers to the quill 21mm! Yuck! Anyhow, that measurement was what made me decide to try it with the stock stem and Albas. I would have given Albastaches a try if it was a normal quill diameter. Another fun aspect to this is that I'm going to rebuild the wheels at 700c, and then run the fattest tires I can safely fit. I picked up a pair of the closeout Twin-Hollows from Riv over the weekend. This is purely a sentimental rebuild for me. My father passed away this month (only 71), and working on this bike and then using it will play a part in my recovery process.

Re: [RBW] Winter Projects, 2013/14 version
Bill: A Windsor like that one was my first “nice” bike in about 1973. I actually bought the model just below the one you have—the tubular tires were a bit much for a young kid in junior high. I eventually sold the Windsor when I got a car in high school. I liked that bike a lot, and I hope you enjoy yours in whatever form it takes. --Eric Norris Email: campyonly...@me.com Web: www.campyonly.com Blog: http://campyonlyguy.blogspot.com Twitter: @CampyOnlyGuy Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/campyonlyguy On Oct 28, 2013, at 3:12 PM, Joe Broach joebro...@gmail.com wrote: Ha, cool on the Windsor!

Re: [RBW] Winter Projects, 2013/14 version
Hugh and Deacon Thanks for the kind words. I have a lot more to be thankful for than I do to be sad about. Even in the circumstances of his passing, the blessings were numerous. Regarding So Cal riding, I will be down in Corona this weekend for a cousin's wedding. I will be riding from Corona to Redlands on the wedding day, with another cousin. During Christmas time, my place of business is shutting down for the whole week of Christmas to New Years. So I'll be down for most of that week, splitting time between Corona (inlaws) and Yorba Linda (mom). The only thing I for sure will be doing is the road ride between the two, via the SART in the middle. Anything else is TBD.

Re: [RBW] Winter Projects, 2013/14 version
I'm sorry to hear about your father. Mine will leave enough projects to last me into my son's dotage. My winter projects are to re-do the Quickbeamhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/philipwilliamson/10507916265 with fenders, dynamo hub, S3X 3 speed fixed gear wheel, new fender hardware, Soma C-lines tires, and tire savers. Replace the scratched up handlebars from the Prodigal Bicyclehttp://www.biketinker.com/2013/projects/recovered-bike/with the original flat bars, return the bike to my friend. Source some super cheap slick tires for it. Open up my Sachs automatic hub and reorient the spring so it actually shifts. Sell it, maybe. Sell a bunch of redundant bike stuff.

Re: [RBW] Winter Projects, 2013/14 version
The wedding is at the Mitten Building and the ceremony is in the early evening. If we do a morning ride it would be delightful to meet for lunch somewhere in the neighborhood. That would leave plenty of time to get showered up and the suit on. I'll hit you up off list when the logistics start to solidify On Monday, October 28, 2013 5:29:25 PM UTC-7, cyclot...@gmail.com wrote: Did someone say Redlands Let me know if there is a master plan, would love to say hi! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
