[RBW] FS: Rivendell Road Standard, 56cm
Hi, I'm selling one of my two Rivendell Road Standard framesets. This is Waterford-built, circa 1995, made from Reynolds 753 tubing, with the fork being Reynolds 531. This is a fine general-use road bike -- great for daytrips, club rides, even has braze-ons for a rack. Very stable, with Rivendell's classic lower bottom bracket. The basic geometry is: Seat tube = 56.0cm (c-c) Seat tube = 57.5cm (c-t) Seat angle = 72.5 degrees Head tube angle = 73.5 degrees Top tube = 57.5cm (c-c) The frameset is silver, with dark blue head tube and other touches. It was repainted by Tom Kellogg at Spectrum Cycles, and it's an elegant paint job, far better than the original one. Links to pictures below. One thing to note: There is a small ding on the head tube. PRICE = $950, plus shipping, for the frame and fork. If you'd want a headset, I could install a brand-new Chris King 2-Nut headset (the classic one) in silver, at cost. (I believe they go for $125.) I am not a shop or anything. Just a mildly crazy bike person, with several bikes and the tools and skills to work on them. Dave, who says the one he's not selling is the exact same geometry too which describes both why he bought this one originally and why he's selling it now == http://tinyurl.com/riv-full1 http://tinyurl.com/riv-full2 http://tinyurl.com/riv-front http://tinyurl.com/riv-top http://tinyurl.com/riv-headtube http://tinyurl.com/riv-kellogg == --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] FS: *Brand New* Black Brooks B.17 Standard
Greetings RBW Owners, I bought a B.17 Standard on Ebay a while back for a Ressurectio I'm working on, but I decided to go with a B.17 Special for it instead. Therefore, I need to sell this brand new, still - in - full - packaging Standard black B.17. It also includes the Brooks saddle tensioning wrench twined to original packaging. It will come in the extra fancy box that Brooks sends their stuff out in, and the saddle itself is attached to the company cardboard placard. It has never, ever been used or treated with anything. Picture of a B.17 from Riv here: http://www.rivbike.com/products/list/saddles_and_seat_posts#product=11-055 Price is $90 + $10 s/h = $100.

[RBW] Re: Added photos of bikes on RBW site
Angus: Yours looks same as mine except mine has the braces at the top. I really can't see a Nitto flexing much in the plane the braces are bracing. Some of the racks on the Riv site have a more elegant curve at the bottom, where they fasten to the drop out. Much nicer than the squared off shape of mine, with the double bars at the bottom. It does provide a lot of places for bag attachment, with the loop and the pin, etc. dougP On Aug 26, 4:40 am, Angus angusle...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Doug, I have an older Nitto Campee rear rack http://www.flickr.com/photos/16951...@n08/2841844222/in/set-721576168...

[RBW] For Sale: My Quickbeam's Stock Wheelset
Greetings All, Due to a previously committed buyer backing out, I am again offering up for sale my Quickbeam's stock wheelset. The wheelset came with my Quickbeam which was purchased directly from Rivendell in May. The wheels have been ridden under 100 miles, as they were merely a placeholder until I get some custom wheels built up. They are in superb condition with no significant blemishes, and they are true. The wheelset consists of the following: 32H Mavic Open Sport Rims. Suzue track hubs w/ quick - release skewers (120mm rear/100mm front). Excellent quality spokes of I - don't - know - which make gauge. An 18t Shimano freewheel. * There is also the option of adding a hardly ridden Shimano Dura - Ace track cog for $15. Pictures are available upon request, but you can get the idea of what they look like from the Quickbeam complete bike pics on rivbike.com Again, there are no significant defects cosmetic or otherwise with the wheels.

Also, pad material can play a part. There have been a couple of threads over on iBob list about this (and I think the BayAreaCyclocross group). Among the common variables is how extended the posts of the brake pads are. Narrow rims and a good amount of extension seems prone to this. Of course, as was briefly covered here in the past week, the newness of rim and pad makes a big difference as well.
