[RBW] FS: 68 CM Rambouillet Frame/Fork/HS

FS: 68 CM Rambouillet Frame/Fork/HS This is a blue Rambouillet frame and fork in very good condition. The headset is an FSA. There are a few paint marks — notably 1) where the fd clamped on, 2, a dot on the lower down tube, 3) a small scratch near the bottom bracket on the drive side chai

[RBW] Re: Coffee Grinder Question

I only have experience with one hand grinder (Hario Skerton) and the time to grind gets exponentially longer the finer you are grinding. Unfortunately, that specific model doesn't grind well for French press so it's relegated to back-up status for the rare power outage. On Friday, May 24, 2

Is the 1 minute for 1/2 cup of beans everyone's experience with the Porlex? I take it then that 1/4 of beans (more or less) for a ~18 oz cup would take less time? (Fine grind, dark roast.) I'll pass on the Lido; too dear for my plebian tastes. I am tempted by the Porlex (tho' in the earlier thre

Do two stages. First one cracks the beans coarsely. It will be quick. Second effort grinds to desired level and will be faster since the cracked beans flow better than whole beans. On Friday, May 24, 2019 at 12:12:31 PM UTC-5, Eric Norris wrote: > > To All: > > I was inspired by the recent disc

Bill: If you take the Coast Starlight home, they have limited space on board for bikes, with no need to disassemble anything. Reserve ahead of time—a bike space costs $20. If they run out of bike spaces (basically, hooks that the bikes hang from in the baggage car), you’ll need to put the bike

Mostly Amtrak is ro-ro or big boxes, remove your pedals and turn bars.  So Rinko pedals sure wouldn't hurt. On 5/24/19 12:45 PM, Bill Lindsay wrote: I think of a Rinko project as a mechanics workstand adventure. Train travel with your bike is a cycling adventure. I’d recommend pursuing the one

I've always associated Amtrak with boxed bikes. Meaning packing your bike in a full-sized bike box so they can stow it a luggage car. Not many of the Amtrak lines have special bike cars where you can bring it on yourself. Folding bikes (even those with 20 inch wheels) should be allowed for mos

I think of a Rinko project as a mechanics workstand adventure. Train travel with your bike is a cycling adventure. I’d recommend pursuing the one you care about more, but I would bet a dollar that you don’t need to rinko your ram in order to have a train adventure to NYC. I’m in a similar boat

Some questions.  Do you have fenders?  If so, they need to be dealt with.  The "ideal" solution for Honjo type rear fender is to split it up at the brake bridge with a connector tab.  If you don't have one move on. What kind of shifters?  If you have downtube shifters you're already there.  Ba
