Looks awesome. I am looking at getting an Xtracycle, however, I love
riding my Bleriot so much I can't bear to think of converting it to
"beast of burden". I'm sure it would be an excellent one, but I like

I think the grand rando is the Nitto Model B-135, these are labeled RM013.

Didn't try magnets, but twisting them allowed me to open them right up.
I could never get them set up such that they couldn't be easily opened
without inverting the bike.
I asked on a couple lists if anyone had been able to get them to work,
but got no replies.
I ended up returning them.

I've been thinking about buying a set of the Zefal Lock n'Rolls first
for my commuter bike, and then maybe for the Atlantis (which I can
rarely make myself leave unattended, yet). So while doing a google on
them, I found someone had left a review on them at Bikeman.

In late 2000 or early 2001 I bought a pair of Nitto handlebars from
Rivendell labelled "Grand Randonneur 135". I measure 38 cm at the
hoods and 44.5 cm at the ends, which is quite a bit more flare than
any other handlebar I've seen. I'm pretty sure they were described as

So I was riding my Bleriot today and thinking how comfortable it is,
and thinking about my Xtracycle setup, which WAS an old Stumpjumper
frame that is too small for me, and from these two good ideas (the
Bleriot and the Xtracycle) one great idea was born:

Hey thanks. Can't comment on 7 v 9 as I've never owned a freehub bike,
let alone a 9. 7's as many cogs as I've had on a bike, and this combo
works great. I rode a 3-speed with a late 50's SA alloy hub for years,

We've used those hubs with other FW brands a few times. Seems to work

Believe it or not, this is the first pair of non-aero brake levers
I've used. Kinda feels naked without the wires coming out the top, but
I'm liking it so far. Just hope that doesn't lead me down the path of
clipless pedals and indexed derailleurs!

Hi Todd,

I have the 135mm 7-speed Riv/Phil hub on my Atlantis. With a Suntour
freewheel I have plenty of clearance. I'd be happy to measure it if
you want.

Because the person who owns the bike works for the transit agency.
Don't believe he's a list member. It's a really nice Bleriot he
purchased at Hiawatha Cyclery a couple of years ago.
He has used the bike a number of times at displays showing how to put
a bike on a bus rack.

Great video of very early bikes in action on this short piece. Lots of
live action. Some production scenes of early Dura Ace parts being
assembled if you watch close. Cool!
