Tom, Is that the Bomba that was on ebay last week? i was thinking about it but the TT looked kinda long, are you planning Bosco bars? Its a nice looking frame, good on you, though i'd like to know about the Tardis technology you've developed for your garage to store all of these bikes O

The wedding is at the Mitten Building and the ceremony is in the early evening. If we do a morning ride it would be delightful to meet for lunch somewhere in the neighborhood. That would leave plenty of time to get showered up and the suit on. I'll hit you up off list when the logistics star

Re: [RBW] Winter Projects, 2013/14 version

I'm sorry to hear about your father. Mine will leave enough projects to last me into my son's dotage. My winter projects are to re-do the Quickbeam with fenders, dynamo hub, S3X 3 speed fixed gear wheel, new fender hardware, Soma C-lin

Hugh and Deacon Thanks for the kind words. I have a lot more to be thankful for than I do to be sad about. Even in the circumstances of his passing, the blessings were numerous. Regarding So Cal riding, I will be down in Corona this weekend for a cousin's wedding. I will be riding from Coro

Bill my condolences on losing your Father so young, I think it's a great idea to work on a project that has sentimental attachment as a way through the grieving process.As an added benefit once complete it will keep his spirit rolling along with you. Peace Brother. If you plan on being in SoCal

Re: [RBW] Winter Projects, 2013/14 version

Bill: A Windsor like that one was my first “nice” bike in about 1973. I actually bought the model just below the one you have—the tubular tires were a bit much for a young kid in junior high. I eventually sold the Windsor when I got a car in high school. I liked that bike a lot, and I hope you

Re: [RBW] Winter Projects, 2013/14 version

My deep condolences at the loss of your father, Bill. The Windsor sounds like a great way to play, remember, grieve, and celebrate his life and the gifts he gave you. Beautiful. With abandon, Patrick On Monday, October 28, 2013 4:41:17 PM UTC-6, Bill Lindsay wrote: > > Yes, joe, the dreaded 0.8

Yes, joe, the dreaded 0.833" When I was doing the inspection I was all: "Japanese parts everywhere, that's a good signcalipers to the handlebar clamp-25.4! OK, lots of choices there!...calipers to the quill 21mm! Yuck!" Anyhow, that measurement was what made me decide to try it with the

Re: [RBW] Winter Projects, 2013/14 version

Ha, cool on the Windsor! I built my Dad up a 64cm version of one of those as a one of the weirdest town bikes ever. The head angle on his is crazy steep--must be 75 deg , and the fork is the old 0.833 " American standard. He loves it, and I have to admit it's not a bad ride when I've borrowed i

Re: [RBW] Winter Projects, 2013/14 version

Thanks Ron Mc, I'm looking forward to the Windsor project, and to riding through the winter. Speaking of the Windsor project, one thing I am going to try is some Cromo Albatross handlebars. Riv had been out of stock on them, but they are now in stock. So, if you want that last chance at free

Re: [RBW] Winter Projects, 2013/14 version

we Texans ride all winter by definition. Best time to ride here. My daughter was blasting on her bike last weekend - hadn't gone for a serious ride since August, and she forgot how fun and fast it was. Looking forward to see how the Winsdor ends up Bill. On Monday, October 28, 2013 1:30:42

Re: [RBW] Winter Projects, 2013/14 version

I plan on riding my bike this winter! I am hoping to have my Rivendell 650b conversion complete by the Hill Country Randonneurs' 300k brevet on November 23rd. So that would be a fall project :) On Oct 28, 2013 12:55 PM, "Bill Lindsay" wrote: > My winter project list involves: > > 1. Some wheel
