Those are there so you can mount a rear rack on the front.

[RBW] Wanted 68cm Quickbeam

2012-04-26 Thread Abcyclehank

Somehow I keep losing out on these large singlespeeds.   Some large
individual must have a neglected one hanging around unused enough.  I
am willing to pay cash now or will accept cash and bike or frame
towards a like new 64 Bombadil campy MTB component build beast.  Or a
73cm Mark N. Custom built country like road bike that I might be
willing to part with if anyone wants to maintain their herd at a
constant factor to avoid Rivendell withdrawal symptoms.
Sincerely,
Ryan

Re: RE: [RBW] Re: All Rounder vs Bleriot -Hetres w/ fenders

2012-04-26 Thread eastcentral

Joan, do you ever pop out the fenders when you have a string of no-rain 
days and throw'em on for wet ones? Does the frame lend itself to this or is 
clearance tight enough that fenders stay put? I ask because I'm currently 
looking to buy a Bleriot and set it up as a rando all-day-er.

[RBW] rack suggestions

2012-04-26 Thread oren

well i have a newer atlantis and i cant help but notice the threaded holes 
at the top of the fork (fork shoulder). does anyone know of any racks that 
would mount into these threads? i would prefer a porteur or cargo style 
rack. i have a paul flatbed rack, and yet i dont like how it mounts on the 
quill stem, i feel it makes the front of the bike look too "busy". since 
the threaded holes are there, id love to use them.  any suggestions?

One more try - I have for sale a Nitto M12 rack - it was used for

[RBW] WTT: 56 cm Hillborne for something with more clearance and off-road capability.

2012-04-26 Thread Z

I've moved southeast Utah and I plan to stay a while.  The bike is a
56 cm double TT Waterford-built beauty in orange and I love it, but
fatter tires would be ideal.  I'd throw down some cash to trade up to
an Atlantis or Bombadil.  I'm thinking frame, fork, headset, bottom
bracket, and wheelset (if necessary).  My PBH is approximately 85 cm.

Cheers!

[RBW] Powder Coating recommendations in Boston?

2012-04-26 Thread Rich Parr

Slightly off-topic (and potentially heretical), but I'm looking for a good 
powder coater to help with a restoration of a 1986 Trek 620. I guess you 
could call this a poor man's Riv project. Anyhow, I'm hoping to find 
someone with experience with lugged frames, as this one as some great 
details I'd hate to cover up too thickly. Also have the original blackburn 
racks I'm hoping to coat to match. Would prefer powder over paint for 
durability issues -- I'm fixing up this bike to use as my primary ride. Any 
advice or experience, about Boston-area operations or about powder coating 
in general, would be most appreciated. 

Thanks,
Rich

[RBW] Re: Atlantis fitment

2012-04-26 Thread C.J. Filip

5'10," PBH 85-85.5cm, saddle height 75cm.  My 56cm Atlantis fits
great
but lately I have been wanting a 58.  Hearing that individuals with
slightly "lower" PBH's than my own 56cm Atlanti or wish to own is
firmly supporting my hunch that
58cm may be the way to go.
Soapscum - do you know for sure what type of riding you will want to
do with the Atlantis?  I ask because lately I have been using mine as
a mountain bike on smooth but technical singletrack here in north
Idaho and wonder if the larger frame coupled with 700c wheels might
make trail riding a little trickier considering the boys downstairs.
Also, ask yourself what width tires you will use.  I run 50mm actual
Michelin Country Dry2 ($13 each! 600g) and they subtract from
standover significantly.

[RBW] Seattle Grant Peterson book tour - May 11

2012-04-26 Thread Brian Hanson

For those list members that haven't signed up at FreeRange, here's the
timing details on Grant's Seattle visit.  Hope you all can show up.  We
will have about an hour to make a ride of it, and he is bringing a folding
bike, so we will likely stay on a trail so as not to get caught in the
dark.  Bring your friends!

[RBW] Re: Atlantis fitment

2012-04-26 Thread Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery

Either 56 or 58 would work. The 56 takes 26" wheels, which buys slightly 
fatter tire clearance and less "toe overlap", if you care about such things.

I'm not quite 5'10" and have a PBH of 84.5. I ride a 56cm Atlantis - it's 
fine but I'm pretty sure a 58cm would work for me. My Rambouillet is a 58cm 
and that works very well. Check Grant's fit charts and information for more 
guidance.

2012-04-26 Thread soapscum

We get a few tourists in Seattle from time to time, too. Many from
Japan and points west. They can often be entertaining to watch taking
pictures of the rain, posing with transients and totem poles in
Pioneer Square... but mostly just wandering out into traffic. They
stick out like sore thumbs because Seattleites are notorious about
crossing with the light. You get used to it, but if I'm feeling
especially misanthropic (it happens; I blame the rain), I just avoid
those parts of town where they congregate, even if they are mostly
pretty nice. I'm sure I was a clueless yob when I was traveling the
low countries in my 20s on my old Rockhopper...

[RBW] Atlantis fitment

2012-04-26 Thread soapscum

Hi gang,

I'm on the lookout for an Atlantis in the not-right-now-but-pretty-
soon time frame, so I'm wondering about size and fit. I'm 5'9" with a
PBH of 84. My 56cm Hillborne is great, but I'm wondering if a 58cm
Atlantis might be a good choice. I'm interested in your opinions,
especially if you measure similarly. Thanks!

[RBW] Re: new Hillborne

2012-04-26 Thread Thomas Lynn Skean

Not very different, really. Having different rack arrangements is likely the 
biggest difference i'll have between them at any given time. Redundancy is a 
major goal. However, the setup for each bike is "fluid" in some sense; I have 5 
cockpits that work on either. Albatross (one Thumbie, one bar-end), Bullmoose, 
Moustache, Noodle. And as soon as I can get my hands on the Bosco 58cm bar 
(non-moose), I'll have a half-dozen. DaVinci couplers are my friends.

Either bike can be a grocery hauler, a commuter, a camper, a recreational 
rider, a grand-day-out'er. And Orange has been all of these things, over and 
over. Green will simply share the burden. And now re-configuration or 
maintenance will not have to fit into the window between commutes!

Yours,
Thomas Lynn Skean

2012-04-26 Thread Thomas Lynn Skean

I have indeed found the bike I love.

The rear Platrack with SlickerSack seems so obvious as a practical way to haul 
stuff that I'm a little surprised it wasn't at least part of the marketing. If 
it has some fatal flaw then I've yet to discover it on my initial ride. It 
works beautifully. I haven't fine tuned the fit yet; I need to shave the struts 
and/or adjust the height on the Mark's rack. I may end up with two sets of 
Platack struts if I can't find common ground between the Mini in front and the 
Mark's in back. (I certainly want to maintain the potential for using the 
Platrack in the front. Who knows; I may end up with two Platracks at some 
point.)

are you sure?  Panniers can't come inboard of the seat stays, and
although they may obstruct the side view, they surely won't obstruct the
rear view.

Or, of course, you could mount a light on the rear fender.  Assuming you
have a rear fender.  (But then, in the desert where "normal" humidity is
in the single digits and cactus is locally called "grass" why would you
have a rear fender?)

Re: [RBW] Conundrum: where to place tail lights?

2012-04-26 Thread PATRICK MOORE

And I've got one! I knew it was bright but didn't bother to discover the
make and model.

Perhaps that's the answer, that and the mini-mag red LED under the
chainstay (the rubber block/velcro mount and the sturdy maglite make this
viable in what is a position prone to being knocked about. I can always buy
a second Radbot and devise another place on the bag to clip it to. Or clip
it to the waist-attached reflective triangle that I just got from Riv.

So this extended discussion hasn't been all vapor and wasted breath after
all. That's good, because I really want to use a small saddlebag more or
less permanently attached with panniers added at need.

Thanks.

I use both rack-n-panniers and saddlebag (Banana currently; hope to trade a

seatpost and (17" M frame) thus low enough to peep coyly from under the Banana

this is obivously not the best place. I've got a 2AA red LED maglite clamped

Suggestions for other, better placements, or am I SOL? Lights will have to deal 
with off road riding and having the bike stuffed rudely into the back of a 
small car, so end-of-rack does not work, at least as tried so far, since the 
lights continually get knocked out of position when placed there.

Also, helmet mounting is out.

I do use plenty of reflective matieral, for what that's worth.

2012-04-26 Thread PATRICK MOORE

A couple of people have suggested seatstays, but panniers don't allow this.

I think I caught something after being out in all the cold and in the 
wilderness last weekend.

I'm feeling like I need more clearance for bigger tires, more braze- ons, a 
kick stand plate, and a generator hub/light set up. The symptoms of my illness 
seems to have come back after ten years remission.

[RBW] Aussie ss woolie

Any one have one of the Aussie short sleeved wool t shirts from the big Riv

color but black, pretty much.  Willing to buy or do a partial trade for my
small sleeveless blue from same sale.  (or other wool items or bike bits
you might need)

I am a Riv-aholic.

At first it was a numbered Bridgestone here and there, then there was
a Rambouillet... Now the issues swirl; wide range double 110 BCD vs
triple, generator hubs/logs vs battery units, rack/bag combos, bars,
etc.

I'm going to have to make some steady progress on the house renovation
to reach the level of rationalization this may require.

I've seen plenty of bikes with one or even two Planet Bike blinkies
fastened to the seat stays down near the dropouts.

I use a Superflash on my saddlebag and these
