In okay shape. With straddle cables and hangers (hangers not pictured but
included).
06. Kool Stop Supra pads, 2 sets: $20
Brand new, made in USA.
I had a Sam / Joe combo at one point. The bikes were too similar to warrant
keeping both (both 62 double TT, both had a 62.5 effective top tube). They
are more differentiated now that the Joe grew a bit longer. So I replaced
the Sam with a Roadini, and I just picked up a new Appaloosa. Orange. L
I debated between the Firebird and Raptor. Was concerned the wider brim on
the Firebird would block the view of my Take-a-Look mirror, but turns out
not to be an issue.

Jason,
Great write up. I really appreciate both the tone and tenor of the
retelling and the ride.
It makes me want to travel North once again to experience your fantastic
route.

Thanks everyone for all the feedback. Really hard decision overall. I ended
up ordering the SUNXCD cranks in 172.5 and 46/30 from veloduo. I really
wanted 44/30 or 44/28 but that range was out of stock. I almost went for
the cloverleaf chainring version as they had the gear range I wanted but I

Riv recently started carrying a 2nd nalgene-size cage. There is now a big

Keith,
I just saw the Rivendell Big Jim today and it looks good. Agreed that this
being a Riv related forum we should mention their products for sure.

It's the lime-olive color. We're excited! I like the color a lot. The
mermaid color is more striking to me when the frame is by itself, but
looking at pics of full builds in the wild, I feel like they're even.

One more note: I'm using the "ebike pads" Riv sells, which work great and
that cool chrome matches the hardware on the arms. I couldn't tell ya how

Either one is wonderful and you got the perfect color (they are both
wonderful) since you got what is believed to be the last one available.
The 50cm is perfect for her!
I hope you got a Billie Bar. If not, go for the Albatross with a shorter
stem. Or try the Choco or BBDD's Bosco suggestion
I'm going to swap the Albatross bar for the Billie bar on my Platypus
tonight (hopefully). I have a Nitto XL Technomic 100mm stem and there is

think so. Will having the shim make it harder for me to do this by

Spreading the stem slightly helps keep shims aligned while sliding handle
bar in place .
Your stem might not need the tool.

You'll need the shims (should be 2) and honestly I hate them suckers.
They're maddening to keep in place while you slide your bar in, plus they
like to scratch it up. It can be done with lots of patience but I think
it's a pain in the patooty best solved with a new 25.4 stem. Is what I
think!
the 25.4 number on both bars is the diameter (in mm) of the bar where it
clamps in the stem. So, you will need the shim for the Billie if it was
needed for the Albatross. The stem likely has a 26mm opening where the bar
attaches, rather than 25.4mm.

I like the idea of a stem bag like the one on Leah's bike, but I would wind
up kneeing it when standing out of the saddle to pedal up a hill.

Wait, false alarm. I've seen that bar and stem on your bike, there's a shim
there that comes with the bar and doesn't separate..that section is the
25.4 measurement. I don't think you have a separate loose shim, your Billie
should slide right in there no problem.

Are these Kool-Stop Thinline pads (with post and washers)? If so, I can

Thanks very much.

Joe,
Are you sure? Your original response got me dialing my LBS.
Now I'm nervous again. With Candice and James @analog we tried so many
stem/ handlebar combinations and settled on the nice high stem that I
purchased while I was there. I wanted to try the Albas first, so I left
with them on
Okay, thanks Joe.

"First" in the context of my post means "before the ones you're used to
now", not that Paul invented linear pull brakes.
Update: Pads are sold.

If it's a NITTO stem tell LBS to torque the clamp bolt to 14- 16 Nm or 120
-140 inch pounds.. Important!!! They should know that.
That will ensure it won't creak when pulling on bars or when standing while
pedaling.

It is and I will. Thanks!

Without parsing the details too carefully, there is certain potential to
that notion; I may try it. I didn't try it with the pictured build, because
I was still monkeying with flatbars then. All the components have been
transferred off the 15" Hoodoo that was *way* too small for me onto an
