Re: [RBW] Re: Mt. Hamilton redux
Thanks Aaron! The gears are only meaningful if you know the weight of the rider... especially on such a long climb. At 265 lbs, I need all the help I can get! :-D I'm definitely considering it. Will try my new setup tomorrow; I also put Randonneur bars to try them out and see if my hands are more comfortable. The good thing about this ride is you can always turn around and have a quick downhill ride back to the car! I'll read the website info again so I don't ask so many questions that are already answered there... If you go, look for an AHH with black Sram Rival cranks... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Hillborne query....
The Sam Hillborne write-up in the last Rivendell Reader indicates the Sam Hillborne fits up to a 94 PBH. Depending on your personal fit preferences, the 60cm might or might not work for you. As suggested by others, talk to the folks at Rivendell. Good luck. Happy Thanksgiving. On Nov 22, 8:53 pm, LouisvillePatrick flightofthebomba...@gmail.com wrote: Wow. What a great group. I've enjoyed reading it's posts for some time now. It's time I made a contribution of sorts...by posting a question! I've decided I need a 60cm Hillborne for spirited club rides. An orange one specifically. My question is this: at 6'4 275lbs and a PBH height of 95cm, will it fit?? I own a 64cm Bomba. I tour with it, I do club rides with it, I ride singletrack with it. I love it. It's a bit big though...so.. Can anyone advise? Any taller riders around 6'3-6'4 riding the Sam 60cm? How do you like it? If you chose against it, what did you get?

Happy Thanksgiving! I have abandoned the dream of a Hillborne. I really wanted an orange one. Oh well. I'm looking at other options, including, but not limited to the 67cm AAH. It, like my 64cm Bomba, would have two top tubes. Not sure I want both of my main rides to be double top tube, regardless of the stiffness and benefit the extra tube would provide. Plus 2 more G's would probably get me put out on the street. I have to really think about this. Maybe the double top tube isn't that big a deal..see, I'm already getting my head around it.

Thanks. I'm 6'5 and 230 # and with me and a large load on the bike there can be enough sway to get a bit of chain rub when standing. For me it's not much of an issue. I climb seated most of the time and seldom carry more than a tool kit and water on the Hilsen. The load you see in the picture was about an extra 15 pounds of bags, picnic and camera gear : it was unnoticeable. The bike is supremely comfortable, stable and responsive. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] My Bleriot
Nathan, I have found a great solution, although I'm waiting to get my Acorn Boxy Bag before I set it up. Go to http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/bm.asp and scroll down until you see it. Just to make sure you don't miss it, it's the adapter for the BM lights to mount them on the center hole of forks when you have cantilever or V-brakes. However, as you'll quickly assess, it's perfect for mounting on the front tab of the Mark's rack; it's the image right before the Ixon IQ Speed header. For now, I have the VO lateral bracket with a Paul Gino light mount. It looks very nice and works very well as well and I have it bolted to the rear lateral tabs that are free. The BM adaptor allows the light to be centered on the rack; the VO/Gino mount, allows the light to be on the side of the rack.

However, as you'll quickly assess, it's perfect for mounting on the front tab of the Mark's rack; it's the image right before the Ixon IQ Speed header. For now, I have the VO lateral bracket with a Paul Gino light mount. It looks very nice and works very well as well and I have it bolted to the rear lateral tabs that are free. The BM adaptor allows the light to be centered on the rack; the VO/ Gino mount, allows the light to be on the side of the rack. René has anyone found a nice battery powered light that elegantly mounts to the front center of a Mark's Rack?

[RBW] Re: Roadeo Teaser
It crossed my mind, the first leg of the trip is to Atascadero. I will be bringing the Rawland this time, the views are beautiful up there, but the roads are horrific in some areas. I had been riding an old Eisentraut Model A with Roughy Toughys, but I was pushing my limits on some of the loose potholed decents, and that is the paved roads. That is why I was looking into a custom when the Rodeo was released. I was quick to raise my hand, had budget, permission, and am looking forward to 33mm of air between me and the road for the new year.

To keep the bike similar to his original build, I went around building the bike for it's functionally, in particular to the Carradice Barley bag. But I also wanted to give the bike some class so I added all the Campy stuff. But don't let the Campy parts fool you this bike gets ridden daily through everything, fire trails, mud, sand.

Thanks for the kind words. I don't baby this bike, it gets ridden almost everyday. I'm just grateful to the original owner who was able to sell me this bike. At first he had a very hard time parting with the bike. But after many phone calls and e-mails he parted with the frame, wheelset, and honjo fenders for a very good deal. After showing him the pictures of the bike and it's adventures he's happy that the bike being used for it's purposes. Interesting note about the campy bar-end shifters they were originally for a 10 speed index campy, but after some fiddling I was able to make them fiction, works like a charm.

It's very nice and quite expensive, and I don't think the light output is useful except perhaps to be seen, but it certainly looks awesome, the quality is incredible and would look great on any bike with a Nitto front rack...http://www.jitensha.com/eng/whtsnew_e.html The price was $125, and I asked if I could just get the bracket but was told no. They are matached pairs and are only sold like that. Still... this may be what you are looking for... :-) René On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 12:30 PM, nathan spindel nath...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks, Rene.
