[RBW] Re: What's your winter project? 2011 version
I just converted an old set of tires to some DIY studded snow tires. We only get snow a few weeks out of the year here and I just couldn't bring myself to purchase some. These old tires were perfect for that and it might snow this weekend. On Nov 17, 1:36 pm, William tapebu...@gmail.com wrote: I just read through the 2010 winter projects thread. Pretty entertaining. This winter, I've got a few projects that I'm planning. I'm doing another 650B build. Between my Hilsen and Bombadil, I hardly need another 650B bike, but I wanted to try the low trail skinny tube thing, and I had an extra wheelset. So that's ongoing. Every bike is going to get another coat of shellac on the handlebars. The ones that have been used the most (Hilsen) or have been on the roof the most (Bomba) need it. The Hilsen will get some drivetrain work to prepare it for another brevet season. I'll also do some optimization of fender lines on all the bikes, possibly making my own spacers if needed. Finally I'll go through some of the older parts and sell some things off. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] FS: W.I. Wheelset, OMM racks, Frame pumps etc.
I am still working on clearing out some of the things have in the garage, and would like to offer it up to the lists before the leftovers go up on ebay. - First up is a nice set of stout touring wheels. White Industries M16 hubs laced up to a set of 40 hole Velocity Dyad rims with Wheelsmith double butted spokes. I originally had these wheels built up by Peter White a few years ago for a 29′er MTB that was being pushed into commuter duty. Over the years these were used on and off road but not abused. The rim’s braking surfaces, not used on disk wheels, shows signs of minor pitting. The real wheel has a couple of small dings, is close to true and could use a tune up if you are really precise about such things. The biggest ding shown is still less than pinky wide, and from the hard lesson learned about those exit only car tire wrecker things, yes they will thrash a bike tire if you catch the corner of a spike. The Front wheel is near perfect after all these years. I last had these wheels on my Rawland dSogn, now gone, and do not see a bike with disk brakes in my near future. Asking $400 shipped in the continental US - Frame pump lot: have tried to like frame pumps over the years, for tradition’s sake. They and I just do not get along for some reason and I prefer a mini pump. That said I know many of you love your frame pumps. I am cleaning out my whole lot. If you want them all, I will do it for $60 shipped. The older ones are in different states of repair, all push air, but may be parts donors. The two hPX3 pumps are like new, sat on the frame and one was used once. - Specialized Model I 38cm These are a near new takeoff from the specialized sequoia we built up for my wife. The original owner claimed the bike to be ridden around the block a few times and then stored, and I believe him based on the bike’s condition. These are a very nice set of traditional style road bars. 38cm at the tips of the drops. The only scratches are where the factory slid the brakes up on the bars, near the start of the bend. Asking $40 shipped in the Continental US -Old Man Mountain Cold Springs Rack set: A pair, front and rear, of Cold Springs racks for disk Mount 29″er. Both in used condition, but with plenty of life left in them. Customised with front light bar and a rear blinky mount on the inside for protection. A little bit of road rash on the rear corner and on the deck from a saddle bag mount that rubbed. Hardware shown is included, and I have a couple more of the little angled pieces to mount to the brake studs of needed. I also have the extra long skewers that originally came with the racks. These both measure exactly 390mm from axle to bottom of deck. They should fit a 29er with room or a 700c touring bike with fenders. Intended to be used with disc brakes, but will work with almost any bike setup. Asking $200 shipped in the continental US - Saddles: I have an Avocet Condor, Avocet Touring and Selle Royal Superleggero Prestige. All in serviceable condition and asking $35 each shipped in the US -Tires: Maxis Ignitor 700x2,125 used in near new condition. $25 shipped. I also have some old wire bead Specialized expedition and Avocet fast grips that are in OK condition, but tires this old still make me slow down a bit. If they interest you let me know and I will get the pics up. Most of the above is up with pictures on the garage sale sub sections of my site ( oceanaircycles.com ) now, what is not will be by later this morning. If the item is sold it will stay up, but listed as sold for a few days, If you feel that my prices are out of line, but you really want something, let me know and maybe we can work it out. Likewise, if you are buying multiple items there could be a bit of room to save on shipping.

This is pretty interesting.

Re: [RBW] Re: Soma San Marcos
I saw my first San Marcos in the wild here in Portland today. Looked to be a 63cm nicely set up with the Soma porteur rack, wood fenders, and porteur-ish bars. It looked like they nailed the brake reach--pads at the bottom of the slots. The metallic light blue is very close if not identical to the old Romulus blue.

1) Returning my 83 Stumpjumper to a multi-speed all-rounder using an accumulation of old Shimano Deer Head bits and some newish Rivish bits. A pair of Big Apples is waiting in the wings of the bike shed. Might pull the trigger on paint (it's time) but I'll see if the cookie jar has enough in it before Spring. Will need to re-dish the rear as it's set up as a SS now. Most likely it will end up a s 2 x 5 or 6. Albatross for now, but I really like the new Bullmoose bars I have on my Bombadil. 2) If the cookie jar is deep enough, a new crankset and seatpost for my All-Paul Proteus SS. If he ever comes out with that rumored headset, that would really complete the ensemble. Of course, once I get that far, I'll need to swap the parts to a Simpleone! Come to think of it, realistically that might be Winter 13 or 14. 3) Start looking for a nice little bike for the Grandson - he'll be 4 in August.

RE: [RBW] What's your winter project? 2011 version
I think I might finally be reaching a level of bike-contentment. This time of year I normally have a gob of plans for winter projects. But I'm not feeling a burning desire to change much or procure new bikes. The only for-sure thing I have in my winter queue is to build a lasher rack for my camping/dirt road explorer bike. The purpose of the lasher is to provide a spot, low, in the back, where I can lash light/bulky stuff (sleeping pad and bag). Maybe I'll overhaul all of my hubs too. And maybe re-pack my cup/cone bottom brackets. But I doubt it. I might put brifters on one more bike. Since discovering and verifying the Campy 10-speed-shifts-shimano-8-speed perfectly solution this year, I'm tempted to roll that out across all my drop-bar bikes. That whole shift while you stand deal turns out to be pretty righteous on the commute. I've done it for years with bar-ends, but I phased those out over the last couple years in favor of indexed 8-speed DT shifters, and shifting while standing and in the hoods is a whole different ball of wax. -Original Message- From: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com [mailto:rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Joe Bunik Sent: Friday, November 18, 2011 7:04 PM To: rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [RBW] What's your winter project? 2011 version At long last am happy to post to this list as a bonafide RBW owner (rather than by virtue of them being my LBS!)...
