[RBW] FS: 59cm Legolas Full Bike

This is my dream bike for adventure riding in Oregon. As you probably know, these don't come up very often – I sought after one for many years before I finally found the frame right here on this list. I have built the bike up slowly, acquiring exactly the parts I imagined would complete a

Re: [RBW] Saddle height and PBH

So here’s a 3-month followup for those interested. Brief recap: I was querying the list about the ~18 cm difference between my 93 cm PBH and 75 cm saddle height, which is at odds with the recommended ~10-11 cm.First off, I decided to really make sure that I was measuring my PBH accurately. My

Giving this thread a bump - Hate to see it get lost. Trigger Warning: Long Post. I've been living and riding in Asheville for 30 some years now, and would be happy to offer some route ideas - but first a caveat. The Asheville metro area has seen phenomenal growth over the past decade (from

Cross-posting from i-bob I picked these up to see if they would fit on my 650b Trek conversion with 42mm Tires and Fenders, alas they do not. In fine shape. Pads are used, but have some life left. $225 plus shipping via Pirateship. Pics here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/xPPzijwyEfLH1FaC6 PM

[RBW] Riv Riders Interactive Map is Live!

The Map of Riv Riders is ready!* Thanks to Dave's example of the 'Unicycle Community Map' I've put together a similar interactive map that Riv Riders can now populate with your location. As mentioned, the purpose of this map is to help Riv riders find each other, connect and plan rides.

Re: [RBW] Gus is complete!

Just finished my first real ride on this Gus. 23 cold(ish) miles. It was fantastic. Very familiar as expected (compared to Clem) but different enough to give me confidence that this will be a great mountain bike. I do miss the step through. But that’s it. The front end is noticeably stiffer - and

Ryan -Oh yeah - been there, done that!Here's one more trick you can try that I've had success with. Start with lube as suggested (maybe lay the frame on its side so gravity can promote penetration of the lube). Apply some "gentle heat" with something like a hair blow dryer. After the

Yeah I remember well those late 60's Schwinn Stingray bikes that were all the rage in the late 60's with the top tube mounted "stick shift" and the five-speed "transmission" and the tall "ape hanger" handlebars. Every kid wanted one. Thanks for jogging my aging memory (but really, no thanks -

I have the original box the bike shipped in and it measures approximately 61 x 10 x 36. The above zip code & these box dimensions should help w/ estimating shipping costs. Not sure what they weight will be though. On Saturday, March 11, 2023 at 1:33:50 PM UTC-5 RDS wrote: > Bike will ship

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell gravel bike

That's how they system was designed; that shifter and the cable came with the hub and the position of the shifter is determined by the frame dimensions. In fact, I didn't even think of this until your email; so far, dismounts have been pain free. In other news: on the second bike I customized, a

Gus Boots Wilsen size 57 in RBW Blue color. See pics at below link. No seat included. I purchased this as a frame in 2019 and I believe I shipped Riv some parts that I had lying around the house and what I didn't have they provided the rest to build it up. 100% of miles were on a paved bike

[RBW] Re: Rivendell gravel bike

Surprising as it may be, that's a traditional location for rear-gear shifters on townie bikes, up through about the mid-50s. I have a 1952 Peugeot PC40 frameset with a braze-on for a Simplex friction shifter in that location; I've also seen a number of examples of indexed shifters (both IGH
