[RBW] FS: Parting out is such sweet sorrow - Cinelli bars and stem
My friend is just about done selling off the parts bin in the garage. He asked if the RBW group would like a shot before he tries his luck on ebay. He recently parted out a Specialized Sequoia (lugged steel) from the 80s and wants to sell the Cinelli bars and stem as a set. He is also very tired of cleaning tape residue, etc., but assures me these are in very nice condition, despite the munge. Cinelli mod 66-40 handlebar, 1981 – so there’s no cable grooves.

[RBW] Test rode the 48cm Hunq'a
Hello all, I stopped by to visit Rivendell on Thursday while passing through on my San Fran vacation. I was lucky enough to take the 48cm gray and red Hunqapillar for a spin around the parking lot. I'm 5'4 and I'd say my 76cm PBH (barefoot) was about as low as I'd want to be on that bike. Any smaller and I'd probably have choose the Atlantis. The bullmoose bars had a great, comfortable, heads-up feel. I'll have to think hard about whether to replace my techno hardtail with a Hunq'a... Is anyone planning to use a Hunqapillar for touring?

Lots of good advice here, as I expected, thank you. (Seth, I knew you were winking when you asked about the size.) Joel, I ditched that Maillard freewheel long ago. Not everything was great about this bike in its out-of-the-box configuration. I willl keep the 720 and pass it down to my children, who are avid cyclists. I will store the 720, Xtracycle, and a several others--will probably select my other (daily driver) Trek, and my Surly LHT to take with. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] New Wheel for the Hillborne
Finally got around to doing a couple of things - getting a Phil Wood hub and building my own wheel. Jim Thill at Hiawatha spent a good chunk of an evening trying to drill into my thick skull how to properly build a wheel. Might have been slightly less dim than most days, as the instruction took, and now have a Phil freewheel hub laced to a Salsa Delgado rim. Even more amazingly the wheel has stayed good for about 60 miles of riding over the weekend. Including a curb bash taken at a lot higher speed than planned. About a week earlier, swapped the crankset out for a Sugino XD found secondhand. More than a bit scuffed up, but that crank just looks so right on this bike. One last observation - the Silver shifters do seem to work alot better with a seven speed rear than an eight. Was pretty sure that would be the case, but was nice to have it confirmed.

It sounds like you may value the bike in a way that is hard to put a dollar value on. $2500 sounds extremely high, even for collectible condition 720 frame with nice parts. Maybe that's a sign that you really don't want to sell the 720. I'd say keep a daily rider that you can ride/lock-up without worry and keep the Trek 720 too.

[RBW] Re: Opinion on Potential Sale of 1985 Trek 720
Yeah that model Trek in original condition would sell anywhere from $500-$800 in my area. And that would probably be a long waiting period to find the right buyer. Most vintage buyers are looking for the great find at a low price to fix up rather than a high priced model. And then they would most likely want it original. You probably will get more of your money back by parting it out.

Not too hot, and plenty of orange poppies, purple lupine and yellow mustard remain from a beautiful flower year. The bike is splendid. Very, very comfortable; somehow, as with all Rivendells, the body position is exactly right. Gorgeous, with tan tape contrasting with the bright dark green paint.

Feels perfect when I'm out of the saddle. My friends that I ride with will be able to admire it from the rear. I still have to do some tweaking.

I didn't know this was still allowed by any airlines. I used to do it in the early 80's without the pipe insulation. I could see the baggage handlers put it in the cargo bay last and all I got were some minor scratches. Later in the decade these same airlines started requiring a box.

[RBW] Replace bottom bracket question
I had my 7 year old bike repainted (actually powder coated). Inside the frame in a few places, there was some surface rust, completely removed as part of the preparation process. The original bottom bracket (Shimano BB 6500), which of course was removed prior to sending the frame away, has some surface rust. Most of it is near the thicker right hand side. The worst is a one inch square patch that I've tried gently to remove but isn't budging. I'm not much of a mechanic and I'm hoping the collective wisdom here can help me with whether or not I should replace the bottom bracket.

[RBW] Re: Taking Bikes on Airplanes: A method I haven't seen before
Each airline has its own rules about accepting baggage, and rates vary considerably. For instance, United and Lufthansa have a relationship and code share routes. A couple of years ago, we chose to fly Lufthansa because bikes flew free while United charged $300 each way. Cost of the ticket was the same and it was a code share route, with UAL providing part of the service and Lufthansa part. Also, policies may be inconsistent between an airline's web site and reality. We've found it best to check with a live person at your departure airport, well in advance of travel, and get confirmation of what will be expected when you check in. Of course, even that is no guarantee but it does improve the odds. Speak to a baggage supervisor and keep notes of who you spoke with and when. dougP On May 1, 2:18 pm, Jeff Feldstein cygoo...@gmail.com wrote: Found this on a cyclist's blog: http://ashecoutts.info/wordpress/ashe/?p=78 Apparently these folks throw some pipe insulation on their bikes and throw it on the plane. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Saluki History + Provenance
If all goes well it appears I may soon become an official member of the RBW Owners Bunch. (!!!) I'm curious about the origins and history of the Saluki. Can anyone fill me in? For example... • When did the model debut? Was it the first Riv bike designed for 650b? • Where were they made? By whom? • How many were made? • Did colors vary by model year, or was there a stock range? What were the colors? (I've seen mainly orange and butterscotch in the larger sizes, but there is quite a range of colors of smaller sizes still on the riv site.) • It's not currently in the catalog. When did production stop? Will they be back? (I heard a rumor of a possible rotation with the A.H.H.?) • Anyone have a pdf of the original brochure or design brief? Thank you!

Hey there Rob - Welcome to the bunch. I never put together a Saluki-specific page yet - http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw But, there wasn't too much in terms of separate printed material that I came across. There were definitely announcements in the Reader. It was the first 650B/584 bicycle that they produced. The production was not so much stopped as rolled into the Hilsen - the 650B/584 version is pretty similar if not identical. Except for the name and headbadge, of course. I'm kind of under the gun on a project early this week, but will dig through the archives later and try to get some more info posted. Here are some examples in the galleries: http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc/2009/cc604-ginozahnd0109.html http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc/2005/cc004-joelstern0505.html http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc/2006/cc117-joeszokoli0506.html http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc/2008/cc490-daveminyard0608.html http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc/2007/cc307-iankersey0507.html http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc/2007/cc359-clairezahnd0807.html -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

RE: [RBW] Saluki History + Provenance
The Saluki was introduced in late 2003 or early 2004. They were produced by Toyo in Japan, same as the Rambouillet, and the first batch was offered in either green or silver. Custom paint options were offered through a painter local to Rivendell for an upcharge, which accounts for most of the other colors you see. the Caramel was a custom color I asked for and Grant created for my Saluki from the first batch, and which he liked well enough to make it the stock option for future frame runs. (I asked for a Harvest Gold, like some Riv customs but a richer tone with more brown) As far as I know, the Saluki was the first production 650b-wheeled frame offered in the U.S. since a few mountain bikes from Raleigh and Schwinn in the 80's. They were initially offered with either NOS (reintroduced?) DiaCompe centerpull brakes or cantis, and when the Tektro super-long reach sidepulls were introduced, Grant designed a frame to go with them and fitted the smaller frames with 650b, the larger with 700c. Saluki production was rolled into this new frame.

Re: [RBW] Saluki History + Provenance
What Jim said. And http://is.gd/bSxAZ There was also the pewter color in addition to what Steve listed. They aren't coming back as a Saluki. Production never stopped though - they're now the AHH in smaller sizes. I don't think there was ever a brochure, and yep, late 2004 or early 2005 is when the Saluki dropped.

Thanks for the comments Scott. Was scared off of wheelbuilding many years ago by a very good, but very cranky mechanic. After getting back into riding a few years ago, sort of made a promise to myself to try it at least once. Might come in handy say, if, maybe, I purchase something like a Bob Brown 29er that's currently single speed and want to change it to a 1x9 at a future date.

Re: [RBW] Re: New Wheel for the Hillborne
I've built a half dozen or so wheels just using Sheldon Brown's wheelbuilding page. As long as you're working with a fairly traditional wheel (no oddball spoke styles or lacing patterns), the main thing is to get the pattern right and to approach the final stage gradually and evenly. I find wheelbuilding to be a relaxing way to spend an evening, and it generally makes me wish i had the excuse to do it more often. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN On Mon, May 3, 2010 at 3:06 PM, nathan spindel nath...@gmail.com wrote: Is Jobst's book still the de facto resource for learning the craft of wheelbuilding?

[RBW] Re: a hh poem
Forgive the long-ish post to follow. I wrote this one years ago (or so it seems) when the stand-alone AHH website was up and there was a $20 credit in the offing. There were a number of good poems crafted for the site. Not sure what happened to the site or the other poems. I'm no poet, but was inspired by a beautiful bike and the company behind it. FWIW, I give you: The Resurrection of A. Homer Hilsen There it was, there it sat. Bars akimbo, tires flat. Cluster missing, saddle worn. Dangling hemp-wrap. Dusty. Torn. Rubbed the down-tube, read the name: A. Homer Hilsen – of Rivendell fame. I knelt to worship and wondered why. Lost, or stolen? Left to die? Who would leave it? Could I? Could You? I asked around, nobody knew. I felt linked like a chain to its ultimate fate, the local bike shop was open ‘till eight… They told me the story of a man dressed in wool. He lived in the country, his glass always half full. The bike was his passion, his comfort, his dream. Fittings for Mark’s rack, lugs filled with cream. But no one had seen him, at least for a while. The man had moved on. My lips cracked a small smile. I asked the police what the policy was. They showed me the poster: Auction by Fuzz. I showed up quite early, on the day of the deal. Misty and quiet, the sky painted like steel. I noticed the Hilsen being eyed by a punk, mixed in with the lawnmowers, car parts and junk. He grabbed a brake lever and gave it a tug, Spat on a pedal, then moved on with a shrug. The auction moved slowly, through toilets and tools, Something for everyone: the dealers, the fools. And then it was up there, wheeled up by a cop. The pads squealed on the front rim. It came to a stop. The bidding began with the auctioneers’ pitch: “A handsome blue bike for the not quite so rich!” It was me and the punk, and a man I could see who was standing alone near a lone Redwood tree. It had to be mine. I just had to win. To let Homer go home without me was a sin! The punk shrugged again when three figures were spoke. Fished through his pockets, confirmed he was broke. I looked near the tree, heard the faint ping of a bell, The auctioneer paused, raised the gavel. It fell. “It’s mine! Can’t believe it!” My grin ear to ear. I cashed out in seconds, lost a fight with a tear. I wheeled Hilsen homeward and vowed to be kinder. Put him up on my work stand and loosened the binder. I thought about fate, how I won, how I got’m. Flipped the frame in the stand to examine the bottom. As soon as the upside was more downside than most, A small rolled up paper fluttered out from the post: “I’m happy you own me, the pleasure’s all mine. That punk would’ve stripped me and sold me for wine.” “Now we can share them, those days on the road. Losing all count of the friendships we sowed.” “You see, I’m attracted to people like you; People who dream of a journey or two.” A.H.H. I’m sure when I’m older, my legs tired of turning, I’ll think of this day; of the joy and the yearning. I’ll pass it along to a like-minded good soul; dusty and weathered, but ready to roll. The bike will live on, with new stories to tell; new owner, new road, and the faint ping of a bell. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Test rode the 48cm Hunq'a
Sorry, I meant that with my 76cm PBH, the 48cm Hunqa was as large a frame as I'd consider. The top tube length was fine but I had zero standover. I did not ask for an official recommendation but I suspect they'd steer me toward the 47cm Atlantis, instead. For the money and greater trail- ability, I'd prefer the Hunqa's design.

[RBW] Re: I registered for the Grizzly Peak Century today
Good riding with you, Tony! I only did the 73 mile north loop and was completely knackered at the end. I think I need one or two more lower gears for that much climbing. As I was limping in, Tony was leaving for the south loop -- another 40 hilly miles worth of riding -- and he was looking as fresh as ever. How were the steep bits Tony? I saw a good number of Riv's: a father on a nice gray/cream Roadeo and son on an Atlantis with wood fenders; a couple from Oakland, with one on an Atlantis and the other on an Ur-Riv (Bridgestone, that is); I saw a couple of Hilsens, including one that went zipping by me on McEwen Road, a very steep climb. Riv was represented among the volunteers too, with Rich Lesnik at check-in and an Atlantis owner at the Island rest stop. Many thanks to the volunteers, who helped make it a great event. jim m wc ca On May 3, 1:24 pm, Tony tony.m...@astound.net wrote: Way to go Eddie! Jim, great riding with you up Grizzly Peak.

[RBW] Re: Opinion on Potential Sale of 1985 Trek 720
I sold my 25 720 this past November. It was in very good condition. I opted for a 68cm Waterford Adventure Cycle. It took me several months and some extra effort to close the deal on the 720 I received about $750. It did not have Phil Hubs and Riv Tubus racks. It was for the most part original except for Nitto stem. I think you will work to get $1000 for it, so I would keep it and enjoy it. I liked my 720. It was just too small for me. I am loving the Waterford and happy that things worked out well for me. If you enjoy your 720 then keep it and cherish for its comfort and heritage.

My sense is that the group members here might know a few things about other fine bicycles, and I would appreciate an opinion. I have a 1985 Trek 720. I have upgraded it over the years: It has 700c Lesnik-built wheels with Phil Wood hubs, Nitto bar and stem, Sugino cranks, original derailleurs, Brooks B17, Tubus rear and Rivendell front racks, the works. It's a nice bike, pristine in every way. The challenge: We are moving overseas for several years, and I have 10 bicycles need to lighten up. The 720 is by far the nicest bike I have, which makes it the least useful to me, in that I won't park this for the day at the Metro, leave it outside of the grocery store (for very long), ride it in the rain, etc. My other old Trek is more seasoned, less valuable, and gets a heck of a lot more use. What do you think this bike is worth, ballpark? I know this is probably dreaming, but I think it would take at least $2500 for me to part with her.

[RBW] My new AHH and it's maiden shakedown ride.
Lots of toiling on my part. Lots of help, guidance, and reassurance on RBW's part. My 59cm A.H.H. http://www.flickr.com/photos/42027...@n00/sets/72157623986998644/ Some friends of my friend had a trip planned to hit the MTB trails on the western slopes of Colorado in the town of Fruita, and I got an extended invite. As it turns out all the original planners scrapped going due to some ominous weather reports. My buddy and I had no plans to cancel...and headed up for a weekend of either fun riding, or snowed in micro beer drinking. Win win right? I'll let the pictures answer the weather question. Coincidentally it was the same weekend as the Fruita Fat Tire Festival. More the merrier yea. I have ridden the trails there on several occasions, but always on a dedicated suspended MTB. Well I wanted to give the AHH it's first workout, and my friends bike can accept 650b or 700c, so he chose to throw on his 700x42 tired wheelset and we were going to do what we could. That turned out to be everything. MTB festival afoot, there were a fantastic amount of full-sus high end bikes out there. Some really impressive rigs to say the least. Then there was us. Obviously we got some funny looks and lots of comments, but never a negative word. I had the best time riding this weekend out of all my trips. We were moving just as fast if not faster up hill, and hanging with most on the down side. Big drops and hits not withstanding. We rode almost 40 miles in 2 days. 98% of that was technical singletrack. The AHH was flawless. Not one adjustment, tweak, or problem. I was very shocked at how well the 700 tires rolled over and up the rough. My worries about the 59cm frame are gone. Pedal strike was extremely common with a 10 bb height, and almost bucked me off once, but adaptation was the answer for that. Underbiking. Rough riding. Whatever you want to call it...rocks. http://www.flickr.com/photos/42027...@n00/sets/72157623986842368/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Grip King/ MKS Lambda pedal spikes
Recent order from RBW included a bag of blunt pedal spikes. Installed 8 per pedal in the manner described on the RBW site, except I did not have the appropriate vise-grip. Used a slightly over-sized socket wrench instead. After a short rainy test ride I was well satisfied with the results except that on inspection later in the evening, 3 of the spikes were missing, all from the non drive side pedal. I accept that this was most likely due to user error. My theory is that the missing spikes were started crooked and when snugged down to the straight position the shallow threads were stripped. Nevertheless, it prompted a trip to the local hardware. Their thread sizing board identified the spikes as 4mm with a 0.7mm thread pitch. They had the matching plug tap in stock for $3.79 (made in the USA). Recommended drill bit is a #30 wire gauge bit (3.26mm diam.) for $2.99. While there I purchased a 100 mm vise grip for $12.99 (made in Taiwan). I am passing this information along in case it would save some time for someone else who may prefer to cut the threads with a tap.

[RBW] Re: Replace bottom bracket question
On May 3, 9:37 am, Joan Oppel oppel...@verizon.net wrote: The original bottom bracket (Shimano BB 6500), which of course was removed prior to sending the frame away, has some surface rust. Most of it is near the thicker right hand side. The worst is a one inch square patch that I've tried gently to remove but isn't budging. From your description, it appears the surface rust is on the shell of the bottom bracket. Surface rust here shouldn't be of any concern, but you can remove it with a wire brush and some elbow grease. If you're replacing it, be sure to get an Octalink version 1 with a spindle length of 109.5mm, because that's what the BB-6500 is. The ISIS bottom brackets or the Octalink version 2 may look similar but they are not interchangeable. New Octalink version 1 bottom brackets (includes Dura Ace, Ultegra and 105 models) are getting quite hard to find now and may be quite expensive if available. eBay has used ones cheap but the condition may be iffy. If your current one spins fine, a little surface rust shouldn't deter you from reinstalling and continuing to enjoy its service. -B -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Grip King/ MKS Lambda pedal spikes
David, I installed spikes in my GKs, but didn't need to tap them - can't recall the bit size I used. I do know that the first hole was slightly too big (maybe what happened to you?) I went down a size, and they all went in fine, and I haven't lost a spike in over a year. IIRC, I used a small metric socket to drive them home. They work great - esp. in the wet.

[RBW] Re: I'll be in Chicago for the next eight days
What should I not miss in Chicago? Interests: art, architecture, museums, bike shops/builders, local beer/food, bookstores, interesting neighborhoods, dive bars, good places to run. I have all next weekend to do whatever, so I'm looking to fill up those days. The weather has been pretty good and, if that continues, do an architectural tour by boat, on the river. The Museum of Contemporary Art is a good half-day visit if you like modern, otherwise the Art Institute is a more complete collection (and an interesting building). I agree the Shedd and the Museum of Science and Industry are worthwhile. The view from the Hancock Observatory at sunset is amazing. You can run for quite a ways along the lake. With the weather getting nice, that's likely to be crowded. Grant Park has many interesting things to see. Lincoln Park is very nice, especially the conservatory. Of course, if you really want an interesting trip, hop on the Amtrak Hiawatha and come on up to Milwaukee. Unfortunately, I'm leaving town in a couple of days so won't be able to host you. Waterford is a relatively easy drive (around an hour and a half, maybe a bit more) from Chicago. If you can get there, it's worth a visit, but unfortunately it's not accessible by train. If you were to bring a bike, it would be a pretty easy combo train/bike trip. Ted Durant -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Grip King/ MKS Lambda pedal spikes
I used a 7/64 bit (half way between the 3/32 and 1/8 recommended by RBW. The spikes that stayed in are tight. I have checked and think I would have a difficult time removing them to re-thread. I really think my mistake was not getting them started straight. Two that fell out were in the extreme outboard holes where I had a previous pedal strike on pavement that had deformed the lip and probably pretty much guaranteed that I would start them crooked. I am not suggesting that secure installation requires tapping. Just another option. A little more complicated, but not that expensive if you leave out the new vice grip. David amoll68 wrote: David, I installed spikes in my GKs, but didn't need to tap them - can't recall the bit size I used. I do know that the first hole was slightly too big (maybe what happened to you?) I went down a size, and they all went in fine, and I haven't lost a spike in over a year. IIRC, I used a small metric socket to drive them home. They work great - esp. in the wet. Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: I'll be in Chicago for the next eight days
Check out if the Museum of Science and Industry has a reciprocal arrangement with any museums in your area. I know that they do with the STL Science Center (my town), which with the discount on tickets just about pays for a one year membership at the STL Science Center. If you want to check out tall buildings, the Hancock center is better than the Sears tower. Plus, you can get in for free-ish. Go for the cocktail lounge on the 94th floor. While standing in line, duck out to go to the bathroom. Floor to ceiling windows in the bathroom and no admission fee. It's been ages since I've been up there as a tourist, so I've forgotten all the cool things to do.

Weekdays around 10:00 to 3:00 or so, the lake front trail is not so crowded. No better urban place to run than the lake front when not crowded. Check out: http://caf.architecture.org/Page.aspx?pid=183 for architecture tours. Green Zebra is one of the best vegetarian restaurants going.

Re: [RBW] Diagonapillar blueprints revealed
Glad I have my Bombadil... gladder now! I liked the concept better when it was like a Yves or Betty with a top tube with a long diagonal. Now, it just seems to me the front triangle is split and doesn't quite flow with the rear triangle... Anyway, I'm glad it won't be confused with a Bombadil... :-) Will wait to see what the final bikes look like.

[RBW] Schwin Le Tour Mixte Project Finished! kinda.
A couple of weeks ago I had a issue with the brakes on this pink mixte. Going from 27 tires to 650b tires made the brake pads a hair short of reaching the rim. Thanks to the wisdom and no how of the group I was able to file it down and make the brake pads fit. Also thanks to Cycles of Change I was able to find the long straddle cable for the rear brake. Presented the bike to my girlfriend and she likes it. She wants to put a hello kitty sticker on it, I want to put Resurrectio Decals. But for now the bike is semi done. Just needs a front basket and maybe a rear rack. Thanks for everyone for the great advice! http://www.flickr.com/photos/mannyacosta/sets/72157623789349209/ -Manny Pink is good Acosta -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
