[David Banzer]

Bumping this up. I'm nearing my goal for now, but am extending this as I 
still have a little ways to go. 
Thanks to those who have put in orders! I'm all caught up, have a few 
things that will be in the mail in the morning, otherwise, everything's 
been sent out.

[RBW] FS: Shimano Exage Triple Crankset w/ 3 Willow Chainrings - $50 plus shipping

[David Banzer]

I'm moving soon, so will be listing stuff as I go through my storage space. 
Sale will go towards getting me moved into a house that's within a mile of 
the start of a bike trails that's nearly 50 miles of gravel/dirt, mostly 
uninterrupted from roadways.

So, to start with - 

Shimano Exage Triple Crankset.
Silver-ish finish that is painted on - seen here: 
http://www.ebay.com/itm/172327888110?var=&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649
Includes 3 Willow chainrings of your choice - available sizes are here: 
http://treetop.bigcartel.com/category/willow-chainrings-c
Ideally, you'd take 2 110 bcd rings, and 1 74 bcd chainring - but I'm open 
if you already have other chainrings and need 3 small rings, or 3 large 
rings.
So take your pick! Only thing not included for this deal is triplizer rings.

The crankset itself is 110/74 and includes the original black chainring 
bolts.
Cranks and chainrings are NOS - there may be minor scratches from storage.

For crank arm length, I have:
6 sets of 170mm
5 sets of 175mm

Price is $50 plus $7 USPS Priority shipping.
Contact me offlist if you'd like a set. 
Include an email address for Paypal so I can send a PP invoice.
Thanks,
David
Chicago for now

[RBW] FS: Willow Chainring Sale, cont. - Canvas Bags & Leather Goods - Pre-Order Bag Discount.

[David Banzer]

I'm moving soon, need to raise a little cash to help with expenses.

I'm continuing my Willow chainring sale, info here: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/internet-bob/willow|sort:date/internet-bob/XYzICUf0Jec/z-EQo0RSDwAJ
I also have some ready-made canvas bags remaining and a few leather good 
prototypes (these are on sale) - 
http://treetop.bigcartel.com/category/ready-made
Buy at least one chainring & one bag or leather good, and I'll cover 
shipping.

I'm also offering a pre-order discount on made to order bags - pre-order 
and pay for a made to order bag now, and get a 20% discount off the price. 
This is for standard design bags which are:

Saddle Wedge - 
http://treetop.bigcartel.com/product/medium-saddle-wedge-waxed-canvas

Mini Rando - http://treetop.bigcartel.com/product/small-front-rack-bag

Rando - http://treetop.bigcartel.com/product/tall-rando-bag-red-waxed-canvas

Wald 137 Basket Bag - http://treetop.bigcartel.com/product/wald-basket-bag

Bar Bag - http://treetop.bigcartel.com/product/front-bar-bag

Zippered Porteur - http://treetop.bigcartel.com/product/zippered-porteur-bag

Saddlebag - http://treetop.bigcartel.com/product/saddlebag


I'm in the process of moving - and am setting up a temporary work space, 
but will have very limited time to work there - so bags will ship in 1-3 
months.
If you're interested in a bag at a discounted price and aren't in a rush 
for delivery, this would be the time to order.
Shipping is additional - typically a flat $7 per order, though the rando & 
porteur bags are $12 as they're larger.

Please contact me offlist if interested, any questions, or to order 
chainrings and ready-made bags/goods to ship now, or to pre-order a bag at 
a discount.
I'll send an invoice through Paypal.
I'm in the process of updating photos, so if you'd like to see a color or 
bag type, let me know offlist.
Thanks,
David
Chicago

Thanks Tom! I started a doctorate program and decided to buy a house in the 
same week. Next month is going to be a blur!
I will be very close to some trails though - I hope to get my Riv Redwood

sure.

[RBW] Re: How was your (Bike) Labor Day?

[David Banzer]

I just started packing up to move shortly - staying at in-laws for a couple 
weeks - so I rode a couple bikes (Black Mountain Monster Cross & Riv Clem) 
over to our temporary home while my wife drove a loaded car load of stuff 
over. Only about 5 miles per ride, but I got to do it twice. Wasn't much, 
but it did feel nice to get some riding in on a pretty hectic day.

[RBW] FS: Nitto Mark's Bar 46cm - SKS P45 Fenders - VO 700c 45mm Smooth Fenders.

[David Banzer]

I've had these parts hanging out in my office, and I think my boss is 
beginning to suspect that all I do is wrench on bikes during office hours.
Help me clean out my office!
Seriously though, I'm moving soon and don't want to take these 3 items back 
home where I'll just need to pack them up again.
For the list's sake - I'll likely have a few more FS posts throughout 
September, but that should be it for me for a while - so bear with me and 
excuse all the FS posts.

Shipping is NOT included on these - they're sorta bulky so shipping rates 
will vary by zip code. 
Local pickup is highly encouraged! Preference goes to a local buyer, but I 
certainly can ship these it need be.

1.) Nitto Mark's Bar - 46cm - 26.0mm clamp - got these used, tried them 
out, going to stick with my B132s instead, tape residue, nice condition - 
$40

2.) SKS P45 Fenders - regular ones, not longboards, I used these for a bit 
before deciding I needed wider fenders - missing some of the black stay end 
pieces - stays are uncut - $20

3.) Velo Orange 700c 45mm Smooth Fenders - includes all hardware, holes 
drilled: front - to attach to front rack; rear: hole for l-bracket to 
attach to seatstay bridge, holes for Dutch fender light (light not 
included) - $20

Contact offlist if interested in anything.
Thanks,
David

[RBW] Re: Potential Sale of '97 Rivendell Road

[David Banzer]

I'd think the price would vary significantly if the stem were stuck or not. 
If you don't want to deal with the stem and are selling it as-is, the price 
would be much less than if you get the stem out.
Just my thoughts.

[RBW] Re: FS: Willow Chainring Sale, cont. - Canvas Bags & Leather Goods - Pre-Order Bag Discount.

[David Banzer]

Bumping this thread. Willow chainring sale is over, but the bag pre-sale is 
still on - I'll be taking orders at the discount price up until September 15. 
Thanks to everyone who pre-ordered - I've got a bunch of work to do!
There's a few ready-made bags/leather goods left at treetop.bigcartel.com.

Hi Patrck - 
Certainly can do something like that. I'm going to be working on something 
similar shortly, likely with a flap with snaps to close the wallet securely 
- or something similar.
What are the dimensions on the one you have now?

Re: [RBW] Re: New fenders (again!) for the '03 Curt -- 26" X 50 mm Berthouds.

[David Banzer]

Patrick (& everyone I suppose),
I have some nice Horween waterproof leather. 
It's a lot thinner than the Berthoud leather. IMO the Berthoud is just a fender 
extender. 
I'd be happy to make up a set for you (& others I suppose) for a reasonable 
price.

Re: [RBW] Re: 64 cm Orange Ram Update

[David Banzer]

If I didn't have a converted 650b Redwood if be considering this very 
seriously. 
FWIW, I paid $1000 shipped for my Redwood (came with 700c) with a very nice 
parts package that I sold off and nearly made my money back.

[RBW] 650b'd Redwood.

[David Banzer]

While I've converted my Redwood to 650b wheels in the past, I briefly 
swapped back to 700c wheels with Barlow Pass tires. 
I swapped out 650b as I had been using Vee Rubber Speedsters which measured 
47mm actual. Under heavy pedaling, the tires would rub at the chainstays. I 
could dent the chainstays for more clearance - the current indentations 
line up for a 700c tire - but I'd rather not if I don't have to.
When the WTB Horizon tires were announced, I patiently waited until they 
were released and some actual measurements were shared. My tools are mostly 
packed up so I don't have calipers, but I think they're around 44mm actual, 
which is perfect. I'll be adding some SKS fenders shortly - there is 
adequate clearances front/rear. 

My to do-list for this bike:
Swap cranks - Dura Ace crankset goes back to wife's Clementine, Shimano 
Deore/600 cranks will be put on w/ 46/34 rings
Change cassette - it'll be a custom 12-28 8-speed
Change brakes - going to try DC 750 centerpulls
Add fenders
Lower bars 1cm
Swap saddles - GB Aspin saddle will go on
Make up a set of rack-less bags

[RBW] Re: The Cheviot has arrived!

[David Banzer]

Bike looks great! I'm trying to figure out how I can justify a Cheviot in 
my stable. I just broke my daily commuter, building up a VO Campeur as new 
commuter, but if that doesn't fit right, a Cheviot might be in my future.
Any chance you measured the actual width of the Compass Snoqualmie Pass 
tires?
I've seen that they run smaller than 44mm on typical road rims. I might 
need to order a pair just to have - could fit on a couple bikes depending 
on actual width.

Re: [RBW] VO vs Berthoud fenders

Did the pre-dilled holes for the stays on the VO fenders line up with the

same with some VO Zeppelin fenders I'll be installing.

[RBW] WTB: Velocity Dyad Rear Wheel - 36h - 135mm

[David Banzer]

Building up a new commuter after retiring my trusty Schwinn Voyageur due to 
a cracked seat-tube. Transferring most parts over to a VO Campeur.
I had a single speed setup, but will be building up a geared bike so will 
need a different rear wheel.

So looking for...
Rear wheel with the following parameters
Velocity Dyad Rim - silver (am matching an already built front wheel)
36 spokes
Rear hub for 8/9/10 speed cassette (7-speed considered as well), preferably 
silver in color
135mm o.l.d.

If you have anything, feel free to contact me offlist with what you have 
and how much you'd like for it.
I have lotsa Willow chainrings I could trade and would give you a more than 
favorable deal if you're in need of a bunch of chainrings.

Thanks,
David
Chicago-ish

[RBW] Re: Rambouillet Questions

[David Banzer]

There were at least a couple versions were clearance was different. Later 
ones had more clearance. I have a Redwood (less fancy/expensive Ram, 
supposedly similar/identical in most non-cosmetic aspects) - fits Compass 
Barlow Pass tires (~37mm actual). Would definitely fit 32mm plus fenders. 
Assuming the Redwood is the same as the later Ram, that's a buncha 
clearance for a road bike.
Mine is currently set up with 650b wheels and WTB Horizon tires and room 
for fenders. I'll likely stick with this setup for awhile, maybe swap in BG 
RnRs were trails get muddy.

[RBW] Re: Rambouillet Questions

[David Banzer]

Assuming I'm looking at the same unsold listing on eBay, seller notes it'll 
fit 38mm, which means it's a larger clearance version - it looks like it 
based on the photos, I think.
I'd wager if it fits WTB Horizons, which it likely will, that Paul Racers 
(advertised 67mm max reach) won't be long enough. I'm using Tektro long 
reach brakes (73mm max reach) and needed to file the ends of the slots to 
get brake pads to line up with rims. Dia Compe 750s would likely fit 
without modifying.

Re: [RBW] Re: Silver 2 shifters

[David Banzer]

For those who still want the traditional downtube shifter shape, Dia Compe 
makes them with the same ratcheting friction internals as Silver shifters. 
It's cosmetically a little different, but functionally it's the same 
shifter.
I'd guess this is a little bit why Riv is making something new instead of 
making the same shape if they need to invest in a new mold.
I'm looking forward to these!

Shimano 5700 Hubs - black - fits 8/9/10 speed cassettes - original skewers 
included
36 2.0mm spokes per wheel - black, silver nipple
Single layer of Stan's tape installed - I never ran these tubeless

Photos are available, I have at least one photo right now and can take more 
- contact me offlist and I can send them to you.

[RBW] Re: Silver 2 shifters

[David Banzer]

If it clicks, it has a power ratchet. The ratcheting mechanism in the 
originals is the same as the original bar-ends, which is to say that the 
Silver 2 shifters will have a more refined ratcheting mechanism than the 
original Suntour shifters. I can't remember off the top of my head, but 
there might have a later Suntour thumbshifter version that had the 
mechanism in it as the Suntour Sprint dt shifters.
Who's a Suntour expert around here?

Re: [RBW] Re: Racks for the Clem

[David Banzer]

My understanding is that the upper fork mounts are a standard distance from 
the fork crown hole. Meaning, it will fit, but the angle that the rack sits 
will vary slightly due to head tube angle.
I'm hoping to get a Haulin' Colin when the next batch is ready.

[RBW] FS: 650b Tires - Paselas, Big Bens, Vee Rubber Speedsters

[David Banzer]

Came to the conclusion on my commute this morning that Clem can fill my 
larger tire needs and I should turn my Redwood back into the 700c wheeled 
bike it was intended to be and not get by with 1mm clearance at the 
chainstays with large 650b tires. On the plus side, my wife's 650b mixte 
conversion will now get a nice wheelset.
So selling off the 650b tires that I don't need.
Prices do not include shipping on these - Paselas and Big Bens are wire 
beads so local pickup encouraged on those, but can ship folded in thirds.

Panaracer Paselas - 42mm, PT version, wire beads, tan sidewalls, used very 
lightly - $45 for the pair
Schwalbe Big Bens - 650bx50, I believe these measure out to 48mm actual - 
these ones from Riv: http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/tben-10122.htm - new, 
never mounted - $35 for the pair
Vee Rubber Speedsters - 47mm actual width on A23 rims - used, lots of tread 
on these, nice gravel tires, roll decent on pavement but really shine 
offroad - $55 for the pair

Contact me offlist if you can.
Paypal Personal payment preferred for these tires.
I can add any items from my webstore as well: treetop.bigcartel.com - can 
work out a shipping deal if you'd like anything from there.
Thanks,
David
Chicago

[RBW] Re: Brooks Green and Blue

[David Banzer]

I was all set to order a blue B17, then discovered their shipping policy:


*We only ship to the following locations: UK, France, Germany, Spain and 
the Republic of Ireland. For all other territories, please contact 
your local dealer or distributor 
.*A great deal if you live in those 
countries.

Re: [RBW] max tire on 650b cheviot w/o fenders?

[David Banzer]

It'll depend on the reach needed for brakes - set up in the bottom of the 
slots of Tektro 559s, I easily fit 47mm tires with room for fenders on a 
different bike. If the brake reach is less - middle of the slots - it might 
start to get close. Riv says 45mm max for the Cheviot in 650b sizes, but I 
suspect that you could squeeze in a 48mm tire. The limits would be the 
brakes at that point - frame probably has enough clearance at fork and 
chainstays.

[RBW] Re: Clem decals

[David Banzer]

In that same post, I think, Riv mentioned they'd include additional decals 
if folks still wanted them. I opted for standard decals from the start, as 
did others  I assume, so it really didn't affect me. That's a ton of work 
that Riv took on with Clem/tine presales. 6 total colors, 2 model choices 
(high-Clem or low-Clementine), and 3 sizes. Add in frameset only option for 
very early adopters. Plus the intended custom choice of decal option.

[RBW] New Winter Project: Another 650B conversion, thanks in part to you

[David Banzer]

The 1984 Tempo I used to have had Shimano B-type (I think that's what they're 
called) dt shifter braze-ons which aren't compatible with standard shifters. 
Not sure if the 1985 model had those or not. There's workarounds for sure. My 
'84 Voyageur with these stops became a single speed - easy solution. 
Also, those decals I believe were applied over the clearcoat so they can be 
peeled right off if you're inclined.

[RBW] Non-Schwalbe Tire Recommendations for Large Clem.

[David Banzer]

I got a Clem frameset, built it up, and used 42mm actual Resist Nomads as I 
had them already. They work fine, but obviously this bike was made for 
something larger.
So, looking for recommendations for 700c/29er tires - semi-slick tread, or 
micro-tread, or something that works fine on roads. I'll be using my Clem 
for commuting mostly, and plan on using it this winter as it's so darn 
comfy.
Something in the 50mm actual range would be nice.
Thanks,
David

The non-Schwalbe qualifier is mainly because I'm already aware of those

[RBW] FS: B&M Eyc N Plus Dynamo Headlight

[David Banzer]

I had a plan to run dual Eyc headlights, but abandoned that idea as I'll 
supplement a single Eyc with the battery-powered Ixon Core (same beam as 
Eyc).
So have an extra to sell.
Looks like they can be had for a little over $50 shipped from European 
businesses, so I'll price this at $50 shipped and you won't have to wait 
for shipping and customs.
So...
B&M Eyc N Plus - new in packaging - $50 shipped
Paypal please. I can send an invoice, so I'll take care of fees.
Thanks,

Agreed - but they don't make anything larger than 38mm in the size I need, 
which ends up being smaller than what I already have on my Clem.

The Grifters fit? That's good to know. I'll be using aluminum fenders

room. 
The Vee Rubber 12 I just noticed, a little smaller than what I'd like but

[RBW] Big Ol' Clem.

[David Banzer]

Got around to taking photos of my large Clem today. Intended to earlier but 
just plain forgot to take photos as I was having fun riding. 
It'll get some temporary SKS P50 fenders as I contemplate tire selection, 
then probably the VO 63mm fluted aluminum fenders. Needs a rear rack. I 
have a Nitto R10 saddlebag support in the meantime that needs to be 
installed, but I need longer bolts for the seatpost attachment as it was 
designed to fit around a 27.2mm seatpost. I planned on also getting a 
Haulin' Colin front rack as well, but I am pretty pleased with the Soma 
front rack with Wald basket arrangement. I intended to test that out for 
front load handling before I plunked down cash on the HC rack. I might just 
stick with what's on there.
Hi-vis basket bag for fun and because I like being seen on this bike. The 
long chainstays are nice and comfortable - only downsides are sorta hard 
steering in very slow, tight hairpin turns - and the most surprising sorta 
downside - I can't see the cassette when I look down. I have a habit of 
doing this regularly when I'm getting used to a new bike with new gearing. 
Guess I'll just feel it out. Overall, very, very happy with this bike. 
First bike I've felt fit right with Albatross bars.

Some photos here:

[RBW] FS: Few ready-made bags - & an update.

[David Banzer]

I'll be taking a short break from bagmaking during December. I have a few 
bags still to make so my queue for bags is closed for the year.
Thanks to the many people who have helped me learn this craft!
Most customers have been list members, so thank you for giving me the 
opportunity to learn while trying out new ideas and designs.
In 2016, I'll be trying things a little differently, mainly to get me 
organized and to let me spend more time with my family, which includes 
family rides of course!
I've been trying out some nice materials and have a good idea of the 
direction I'd like to take my little venture.
I'll have a line of standard designs available in black, olive green, and 
tan. This will include designs that I've tried out and liked, including 
saddle bags/wedges and rando bags. These will hopefully be ready to launch 
Spring 2016. I'll take a few custom bag orders still, but will focus on 
having standard design bags in inventory. Here’s a sneak peek: 

For now, I have a few different fabric colors that I'll be making some 
ready-made bags out of, but won't be taking custom orders until January.

Right now, I have the following ready-made bags for sale.
End of the year prices to clear out inventory.
$6 flat rate shipping, so combine with other bags or Willow chainrings that 
I have listed.
Go through the links to the webstore to purchase please. Payment can be 
made with a credit/debit card or with Paypal.
Questions? Feel free to contact me offlist.

Finally, as a gigantic “THANK YOU!” to customers, the majority which have 
been list members, I’d like to offer an indefinite 5% discount off 
everything listed. Enter code THANKS. You must enter this code during 
checkout to receive this discount.

Alright. That’s all for now.

[RBW] Re: My First Date With Clementine

[David Banzer]

Hi Mark,
Looks great! Are you trying to order another Alex DM18 in 650b to build up 
the wheel? My understanding is that they're in the Alex catalog, but not 
available through distributors. Looks like Riv's supplier was able to have 
a batch made for the complete bikes. 
There's no doubt that it'll handle all your commuting needs and will be a 
blast to ride. I'm thoroughly enjoying my Clem - it's taken over as my main 
commuting bike.

[RBW] Re: Is Joe the evolved Sam?

[David Banzer]

Long chainstays allow the use of road cranksets without needing wider 
bottom brackets. I'm not sure if any Riv models would need wider than 
normal bottom brackets, but on my large Clem, with the longest chainstays 
of the sizes, I'm able to use a Dura Ace 7410 crank that utilizes a 103mm 
bottom bracket, with a 42t chainring on the inner position with plenty of 
room between the chainring and the chainstay.
I'm not sure if that makes a stronger case for the longer chainstays on the 
Appa, but it certainly was a nice surprise on my Clem.

[RBW] Re: Schwalbe Super Motos - True to Size?

[David Banzer]

If I recall correctly, the 26" Super Motos I used to have were pretty close 
to stated width. I think mine were 58mm actual on 25.4mm rims. I would 
think a wider rim would get them closer to 60mm width.

[RBW] Re: fender stays for different fender materials

[David Banzer]

The SKS/GB fender collaboration was SKS plastic fender for the actual 
fender, and the stays were the typical GB ones, meaning 1 strut per fender, 
just like metal fenders.

[RBW] FS: XL Rando Bag for Haulin' Colin Rack plus a small saddlebag

[David Banzer]

 I made up a bag for a list member specifically to fit a Haulin' Colin 
porteur rack, and made an extra bag for myself in the same size as I 
intended to get the same rack for a bike. Changed my mind on the rack, so 
now have an extra bag with a matching saddlebag.
$200 shipped for both bags.
Paypal payment please. I can send an invoice.

Bags:
XL Rando Bag
Main compartment:
12" wide
8" deep
10" tall

Front pocket extends out 2", so it is supported by the HC rack platform. 
The bag is supported by coroplast stiffener panels - these do a really good 
job at keeping the bag in place. I've been using the bag on a Nitto M12 
rack and it works just fine - probably shouldn't load the bag up with heavy 
items, but it works on either the HC rack, or a smaller rack like the Nitto 
M12.
Front pocket and 2 rear-facing pockets.
Brown leather with matching trim. Side sleeves, d-rings for a strap (not 
included). Underneath the bag their is a leather patch to attach the 
underside to rack with a toestrap or similar strap. When I used the bag on 
a Nitto M12 with a VO decaleur, I didn't feel the need to use a strap 
underneath as the bag stayed put really well.
Instead of a full map sleeve, I did 2 top pockets, I as a phone case with 
clear plastic to use for directions, and the second is a top sleeve pocket 
with another layer of fabric. A zipper is used to access both pockets.

Saddlebag: 
Info on size/shape here: 
http://treetop.bigcartel.com/product/boxy-bar-saddle-bag
Leather is the same as the rando bag.

Both bags are made of Fairfield Textiles water-repellent canvas.

Feel free to ask any questions. Both bags are lightly used, photos of them 
on my bike here:

[RBW] Re: WTB: Nitto longboy long stay rack

[David Banzer]

The Longboy Rack is categorized under "Parts" but with no subcategory so it 
doesn't show up in the racks section. You'd either have to do a search, or 
click on "Parts" then it's on page 12. 
Another one of Riv's pesky website quirks.

The 32R shows up for me in the top left listing. This one:

That's a different rack.

[RBW] FS: Willow Chainring Special - 10 rings for $100 shipped.

[David Banzer]

I'm offering a year-end sale on Willow chainrings.
Earlier this year I purchased Ted Durant's remaining stock of Willow 
chainrings and offered them for sale.
The deal is 10 chainrings for $100 shipped. This includes triplizer rings.

Order through my webstore at this link: 
http://treetop.bigcartel.com/product/willow-chainring-special-10-rings-for-100

All chainring sizes available can be seen here: 
http://treetop.bigcartel.com/category/willow-chainrings

I'm offering this through the end of the year, though I'll be out of town 
from December 24 - January 2. Feel free to order during that time - I'll 
get orders shipped out when I'm back in town. 
If you'd like your order shipped out before I leave, just have it ordered 
by December 23.
Thanks,
David
Chicago

[RBW] Re: FS: Willow Chainring Special - 10 rings for $100 shipped.

[David Banzer]

The triplizer bolts are basically for inner chainring setup, like a 74 bcd 
ring, but come with spacers and nuts to mount the inner ring to triplizer 
ring. So, there only other purpose I can see is to mount the inner 
chainring on a triple crankset.

[RBW] Re: Sunrace 'one at a time'

[David Banzer]

My understanding is that Riv worked with Sunrace to get the rear shifter as 
friction. Don't think you can get that anywhere else.
The 'just buy from Riv' is obviously a good idea in this case with 
Riv-exclusive items.

Re: [RBW] Re: Do you ever find yourself tempted by brifters?

[David Banzer]

Thanks for this. I'm rebuilding my Redwood as a 700c road bike (think 38mm 
Barlow Pass tires will fit) and already have a Shimano 8-speed cassette and 
derailleur. I'd just need to add Campy 10-speed shifters and it'd work. 
I've been looking at options and it looks like Campy redesigned the brake 
lever shape somewhat recently, is that correct?
I'm trying to decide if I should buy new, or find a used pair (I think 
version 2 of the hood shape).

[RBW] FS: 650b Wheelset - Velocity A23 Rims - SP Dynamo Hub - $300 plus shipping

[David Banzer]

I switched my Redwood back to the original 700c wheelset, so selling this 
wheelset that I had built up for the then converted 650b build.
I built these wheels myself - I'm not a professional, but have built many, 
many wheels. These have 1 caveat - the rear hub is used and when I followed 
the previous lacing pattern, the valve stem ended up in a different 
position between spokes than a standard build, then I did the same for the 
front so they'd match. Just thought I needed to add that info.
Ok.. wheelset info:

Shimano Deore Rear Hub - 135mm spacing - 8/9/10 speed freehub - 36h
SP SV-8 Front Dynamo Hub - 36h
Velocity A23 650b Rims - silver, rear is offset
skewers not included.
Straight gauge 2.0 spokes in front - rear is double-butted nds, straight 
gauge ds - all stainless of course

I rode these no more than 200 miles. Selling price is pretty much the price 
I paid for rims and hubs.
$300 plus actual shipping - Paypal Personal payment, or regular Paypal 
payment if you cover fees.
Thanks,
David
back in Chicago shortly

[RBW] FS: 26"/559mm Wheelset - Alex Rims & Shimano Hubs - $100 plus shipping

[David Banzer]

iBOB crosspost...

I built these up for a bike, a Trek 850 that I sold to a list member. I 
used these for a few commutes - probably about 100 miles on them.

Photos in CL ad: http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/bop/5387390320.html

Includes:
Alex DM18 Double-Wall Aluminum Rims - drilled for Schrader, I'll include 
Presta adapters if you'd like them
36 Sapim double-butted stainless steel spokes per wheel
Shimano Sora Hubs - 100mm/130mm spacing - rear freehub, takes 8/9/10-speed 
cassette (no cassette included)
Shimano Quick-Release Skewers.

All parts were purchased new.

$100 for wheelset - option for tires and tubes below:

Geax Mezcal II Tires - 26x2.3" - measure about 58mm actual - and presta 
tubes.
Add $30 for tires and tubes included with wheelset and will also include an 
additional pair of Geax tires that I started shaving the knobbies off of to 
make a lightweight supple slick tire - I caught the 26" bug during the 
pre-Rat Trap Pass anticipation.

Wheels are in Chicago, can ship at actual cost, most likely via Bike 
Flights.
So, $100 for just wheels, $130 with tires/tubes/shaved-tire-
experiment.

Paypal Personal (or regular and cover fees) please.
Thanks,
David
Chicago

[RBW] FS: Custom Bag Queue Open.

[David Banzer]

Happy New Year!

I closed my queue before the holidays so I could spend some time with 
family without working on bags. I'm opening my queue for custom and 
standard bag orders. I have a couple custom spots available for end of 
January delivery, then February spots are open.
Standard bag designs are also available - for now in olive green and black 
made of water-repellent #8 cotton duck canvas. My current photos in the 
webstore will be updated shortly. I'm aiming to offer a few revamped 
standard designs come spring time.
These are usually made to order unless I build up a ready-made inventory 
and take usually 2 weeks to shipping point, rando bags a little longer.

For custom bags, contact me directly at daban...@gmail.com.
For standard bags that are currently available, order through my webstore: 
treetop.bigcartel.com.

Finally, a big thanks to folks who have let me make bags for them. This has 
been a huge learning experience, and I continue to learn and hone my skills 
with each bag I make.

Thanks,
David
