This is a very nice Roadini build.
Now I see why you are looking for black wheels! Would love to see the
pictures when those wheels are on.
My Atlantis is almost ready with all black components, except the headset,
for which I have to take it to a shop. Have not had time.
Q: Curious when do
Thanks Joe, and the Roadini looks great!!
It’s funny with those sunrace thumbies... the top 3 gears index for me at
exactly two clicks each but after that it deteriorates and I’ve found for
downshifts I’ll often just pull the lever and overshoot by a click or two or
three so I could upshift in
Brian, here's the Roadini pics. I added them to the original thread, too.

Yes, you gotta stay with friction with that shifter placement. The problem with
those is they aren't really friction, it's kind of a "soft ratchety index"
designed for IGH and front derailers. Riv doesn't spec them on Clems anymore,
presumeably because people didn't like them much. Whatcha need
So I had a moment of clarity and it occurred to me while riding
earlier today that with Riv's inboard shifter placement they've actually
reversed the location of the left/right shifters to the opposite side so
they may be oriented on the inside of the bar like that. I now recall
there being me
The Billie bars may be what you are looking for. I tries several bars,
including Bosco and Aherne+MAP, on my MIT Atlantis. The Billie bars stayed.
YMMV.

Brian, there's a thread around here somewhere called Orange Roadini with some
pics. I finally finished it up last week, I'm going to get a ride tomorrow and
take some new shots.

Hi Joe,
Thanks, very generous and yes, I’m interested but unlikely to make the swap
anytime soon (family/work and simply a matter not having the time to mess with
my only complete and fully functioning bike at the moment) and this also seems
to be exactly what The OP, Jim Bronson, might be lookI
I just recently stumbled upon these.. anyone know if these SunXCD downtube
shifters with 7/8sp indexed rear would install directly into the stock Clem
shifter pods?

Alan, the Ahearne+Map bar is very easy to like. It just feels right. Hard
to find people who've tried it and don't like it. I have the 610 version
on my Atlantis.
It comes back far enough, but not as far back as Albatross or certainly
Bosco. To give you an idea, I have mine mounted on a 11c
I'm probably the odd ball here, but like Zed, I realized a 52 was too big
for me. I got a 45 and have it set up as a lite mountain bike with a
Bullmoose bar (Nitto 901) and I absolutely love it.

I've had luck switching the Boscos out with the MAP bars on my 52h. The
most useful/comfortable position on the Boscos were also the most

Of course there is also Grant’s ballcock washer mod that achieves the same
thing to create a stop/rest for your hands. I just happened to have old road
levers laying around and gave them a try with great success.

Hi Jim,
Before I traded away my Bosco bars one thing I did find that helped make them a
little more useful was to tilt them back/down a bit more and install some old
road brake hoods (with lever removed) at the outer curve, essentially creating
more of a ramp/hood position in front of the shifte
Keith,
Would you be willing to take another picture of the Billie with the stem
mount lined up (about 2" forward from where it is in the pic)?

I am in the process of converting my Clementine to the Jones bars with the
2.5 rise on a VO stem (currently Boscomoose). I think I will end up with
silver shifters on the SunRace clamps. I love the way that the base on the
SR clamps can be rotated.

For bars take look at either a Jones bar or the Surly Open bar. The
black only Surly has 53 degree sweep(25.4 stem), the silver/black
Jones(31.8 stem) 45 degrees. Surly is 66cm wide and the Jones is 66 or 71.

That is so true Joe! You don't get the clackety-clack when you are a
little off like you did in the days of old. Back when I was rocking my
Schwinn Collegiate, there was no question if the gear lever needed a little
more trim or not. The feedback was highly audible. Surely I don't hear as

Hey Jim -- I don't know what RD came with the Clem but I can't imagine why
you couldn't make it work for 9 speed just by working the limit screw
(and/or B-Screw depending on how wide of a range you wanted). I'm an
Index-Only guy myself so depending on budget I'd look to Shimano 9 for the
shifte
Part of the problem is the first edition Clems used those weird ratchety
shifters that weren't really friction, weren't really Power Ratchets. Mostly
they just sucked. Also, in my 56-years-old case, I just can't hear bad shifting
like I used to. Friction is more work than when I was a youngster
I got a 59cm clem frame as soon as it was released and have had a similar
love/frustration experience as yours ever since. One one hand, it's the bike
that seems most appropriate most of the time and is what i most want to ride.
But there have been a few nagging setup issues. After changing th

I should have mentioned that, friction shifting seemed perfectly fine back
in the day with my childhood 10 and 12 speeds in the 70s and 80s, but now
it seems out of sync. I don't know if it's the additional 2 gears in the
back or I'm just spoiled by years of indexed shifting.
But anyway.
On Wed,
I also swapped out the Bosco bar for a Jones 2.5 riser loop and much prefer the
angle and width of the Jones. My 65cm Clem H came stock with 55cm cromo Bosco
and Tallux stem. I think I’d have been happier with the 58cm Boscomoose, but
traded for a Jones before purchasing a new Boscomoose and n
I would think Choco or Albatross bars would work great on a Clem. Perhaps
the combination of how high and far back the Boscos come could be why
you're feeling they aren't wide enough? I would think a bar that got a
little closer to the stem would feel better.

Have you considered a Jones H-Bar or the upcoming RBW Wavie bar? I
recently bought the Jones 2.5 (inches of rise) loop bar and I'm very
impressed with it. It offers many hand positions and it makes the steering
much more confidence inspiring. Judging from the recent RBW catalog, the

I'm currently riding Billies on my Clem. I've run them on two, actually, I

flipped upside down, but my wrists are still pretty fussy after a couple
