Man, I really like that new frame.
The only thing I dislike is the strap holder thingys, but everything else,
especially with the new bar, is killer. I look forward to the finished
production model!

Great setup.
I use an olive Bar Sack on my Hillborne and love it. I like the handlebar
bag much more than the small trunksack I used to use on a Nitto m12 rack.

So you rode all the hills instead of walking them, right?
Great photos. I plan on doing that ride next year, going to take some time
off from work and camp up there hopefully.

I agree, any new bar is a welcomed bar in my opinion. If this bar is like a
mustache bar but with an extra hand position or two that takes mountain
levers I am sold.

That is pretty interesting, how long did it take for you to sew the tent?
Is the material pretty durable?

I am in starting the looking phase of purchasing a tent for bike camping
and was wondering if any of the group had any recommendations. I need the
tent to fit two people at most (I may go with the wife sometimes) but
usually it will just be me. I guess top priorities would be weight, I would
I think if I was going to get a Roadeo I would try this crankset out, I like
the way it looks and like how it only has one BCD. Maybe something for the
future.

Just throwing this out there, but is there a way to put the rear rack
on backwards putting the upward bend at the rear?

You could ditch the Carradice and opt for a trunk bag that attaches to the
rack instead of the seat, say something like the large sackville trunksack
or something similar (arkel makes a pretty neat trunk bag). That way you
never have to remove the rack and you still have your commuting bag.
Looks like a great trip, too bad for the rain, but you got to eat a roasted
pig so I would say it was a winner. Love the scenery!
I have a question about your bike setup as I am deciding between sackville
panniers vs. large saddlesack. Do you find having the weight that high on
the rear
Looks like he wanted to go for a little ride, he knows how to have fun!

I just recently picked up an older italian bike that has 25s on it after
riding the last two years on 32s and 38s, it takes some getting used to but
the bike isn't totally uncomfortable. I prefer the wider tires though,
which is the bikes I will be getting in the future. The 25s are just
I have a Sam Hillborne and went with barends for it, but I honestly prefer
downtube shifting because of the ease of setup and lack of shifter cables on
the bars. The sloping toptube argument seems like a good one for lack of
bosses, but I think with my next bike, which will either be a Roadeo
I use Silver downtube on my Jamis Aurora and Silver barend on my Sam
Hillborne and I got to say if I was being honest with myself, I don't know
if I will ever really go back to index shifters. Maybe on a mountainbike
because the quick precise shifting may be more helpful with the quickness of
Wouldn't be a handlebar bag if it required mounting to a low rack now would

I have the barsack/f15 combo and think it is the bee's knees, I love the
magnet closure and the way I can get into the bag while still riding. I
used to use an Arkel handlebar bag which worked fine, didn't really
Fatty Rumpkins wouldn't be bad for the gravel roads, but it seems people who
ride them love the Hetres. I don't think that either would be a bad choice.
Looks like a great ride, plenty of up and downs.

I would like to know some of the meals/foods people who are following the
Taubes book and his philosophy are eating. Anything really special that you
have made that made your taste buds go wow, that was good?

I bought the book and started reading it, following the diet for the most
part. He really doesn't preach anti-carb, but rather anti-processed foods,
anti-calorie heavy, nutrient poor foods like white flour and sugar. The
diet has made me feel not only more energetic, but all around healthier.
I have a couple of items that I really enjoy and Rivendell not only
sold them to me, but turned me onto them as well.
1. Sackville BarSack with Nitto rack. This is a great handlebar bag
that not only functions well but also looks great. I had an Arkel
handlebar bag before this, which functions
I use a 7cm stem on my Hillborne and a dirt drop on my Jamis Aurora, which
is effectively quite short and don't notice a decrease in stability at all
from the longer stems I have used previously. It has been my experience
that the width of your handlebars has more to do with perceived front
I like to call my Sam Hillborne Sam, Hillborne, Sam Hillborne or my
Rivendell. I kind of use them interchangeably, but I definitely consider
my Sam to be a Rivendell.

I was wondering if any of the members here have had experiences with the
Phil Rivy freewheel hubs. I was thinking about getting a set for my 650b
Sam Hillborne instead of using shimano cassette wheels. Never had much of a
problem with freewheels in the past, but I don't have any experience
I really enjoy the fact that Rivs aren't splashed with the brand name all
over the bike too. I'm thinking of my Trek here, that thing says TREK in
about 8 different areas on the bike. Kind of ridiculous.
I didn't know about Rivendells until a friend of mine showed up to a ride
using a
I am going to have to buy a few as I don't have any on hand, but the
freewheel gear ranges that Shimano makes seem like they would work fine for
the riding I do. It isn't too terribly hilly where I live so using an 11
tooth or a 34 really isn't necessary. The freewheels seem cheap enough that
