[RBW] Re: Once upon a ride... (a Homage to Ray Hosler Cycling Adventures.)
I was out exploring a new route near the house one day. I was seeking an out-of-the-place for a micro-tour. To my delight, the paved county road turned to gravel, and the gravel turned to dirt, and the dirt turned into double track. I was thrilled. It appeared that not only would I find my nice solitary place, it would also be very close to home. It would be my time constrained go-to. At the top of a short, steep rise, I found a large flat rock. It was perfect place to sit a brew some coffee. I set up my gear, and reveled in the quiet. Things were going so well that I decided to take out a little homemade device that would sit atop my Kelly Kettle...and warm Pop Tarts. I've got one Pop Tart on the device, another just-warmed Pop Tart in one hand, and a fancy cup of coffee with flowers on the side in my other hand. It was perhaps the most goofiest of my goofy moments...when I hear the jeep. I see the rancher with dog in the back come up the steep rise, looks left, sees me, double takes, and his jaw drops. He didn't look happy. I don't think he was expecting what he saw. He slammed on the brakes, cut the engine and stares me down. Then he says, Just what do you think you are doing here?! It didn't take me long to figure out I was in a fix. So I used my goofiness to my advantage. Out exploring, and having a snack, I said, like maybe that's what we both were doing. He told me I was on private property. I apologized, respectfully and appropriately called him sir, and told him that I was just following the road and hadn't come across any signs or fences, and that I'd pack up and leave. He smiled and said, Okay, take your time. Nice day, isn't it? Then I turned the event (leaving out certain details) into an instructional blog post on micro-touring... http://chris-pondero.blogspot.com/2009/12/coffee-camp-pop-tart-smoke-out.html ...and that's what happened when I found myself accidentally on private property, and the owner caught me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Once upon a ride... (a Homage to Ray Hosler Cycling Adventures.)
In some cases (apparently there are quite a few in the Bay Area, reading Ray Hosler's various reports and also some other reports) there are at times rights of way through private property. The landowner may not understand that or may understand it and still try to keep people from exercising the right of way. They may erect fences with gates across the right of way that are illegal and/or misleading. Minnesota and Wisconsin have various access laws for hunting and fishing; there are requirements for property owners to post no trespassing signs to notify those seeking access. Without proper posting, legal access can be assumed. I don't know if any of this applies to Manny's or Pondero's rides. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] gauging interest in new 54.5 Atlantis

I work with Native people, and appropriation of culture by Euro-Americans without asking is just not a good thing.

Sorry to get political here, but this is such a respectful community that I feel I should pipe up. -liesl Excellent point, with which I used to agree. And, not that I completely disagree with it now, but my thoughts have evolved. (I hesitate to say, but think I can respectfully do this, and it does relate, given GP's consideration of 'an Indian name'.) So, I'll give it a try... The community I grew up in near here is called Indian Springs (not the one north of Las Vegas); there were springs that the Cherokee used nearby, along the 'Great Warriors Path' (predecessor of the Stage Coach road, an extension of the Fincastle road, that became part of Boone's Wilderness road). My elementary school's mascot was, to no surprise, the 'Redskins'. When I was a kid, we'd play cowboys and Indians, and it wasn't a bad thing to be an Indian. When my father was a boy, he used to hunt for arrowheads along the stream near a known encampment site, that's a couple of miles upstream from where that creek flows past my house. We grew up with a romantic notion of what the 'noble savage' represented. Today, my son's school's mascot is 'the Indians', and the middle school he was in that feeds into it, are also the 'Redskins'. It's a big part of the early history here. It wasn't meant to be disrespectful. Over half of the placenames in the United States come from Native American names. The word 'Indian' itself is being replaced with 'Native American', for the sake of political correctness. All of my ancestors have been in East Tennessee, southwestern Virginia, or western North Carolina since 1800; all were in North America prior to 1776, but some where still on the Chesapeake, or elsewhere on the east coast, at that time. Of those that I've traced back across the Atlantic, I'm predominantly English/Scots-Irish/Welsh, with one originating from Switzerland. The one variant: my paternal grandmother's great-grandmother's mom, and her husband's mom, were Cherokee, part of the ones that remained hidden here when the Trail of Tears occurred; however, they remained away from what became the Eastern Band, and thus aren't on the Dawes rolls. Where I live, there aren't a large number of African-Americans, not as you have elsewhere in the country. There was one black student who was a senior when I was a freshman, and there was a freshman when I was a senior, but I never knew either of them. However, there are plenty of people around here who are racists. I really didn't know anyone who wasn't like me, a 'WASP', when I was growing up, and was actually afraid that, as odd as this might sound, that I might be a racist and not know it, at that point. I went to Parris Island, wide-eyed and apprehensive; and that was where I first got to really know some guys that were black... and they were great fellows. I was actually relieved, and felt foolish for having felt as I did. But later on in infantry school, I met a couple of them weren't. But the twist was, they presumed I was racist because I was a southern white boy, and thought I was out to get them; the table was turned. However, there were plenty of other people who were great, too, and a few others that weren't, and I had the realization: people are people, and you have to take each individual individually on their own merits. After that point, was when I noticed rap starting a transitioning from a 'black-only' thing to a 'whites acting as black', is how I viewed it (I'm sure I was late to this, had happened elsewhere earlier, and, long before with other genre, but, I digress). I frowned on such, not as a anti-African-American thing, but, that, other whites were being disrespectful of 'black culture', because they weren't reserving it for them. I viewed it as, it was wrong for me to be part of that, of being a white guy listening to rap, not out of hate, but because I would be taking something from them. [I can't say that I necessarily could have articulated that at that point, it wasn't a conscious philosophy, just my retrospective view of myself at that time.] But finally it dawned on me at some point along the way, that my view of that, was actually a form of segregation. Not an active, but a passive variety. And not only that, but by allowing, even a passive, segregation, to continue, it could inadvertently allow (not necessarily for myself, but for 'people in general),

Had this up for trade but now have a tentative deal worked out to get a smaller AHH so this beauty needs to go. Again it is a 58cm Saluki in Pea Sage Green. Has one tiny ding in downtube and some paint loss behind BB but I touched it up pretty well. Sale includes frame fork and headset. The BB is brand new but it is 113 since I run IGH hubs, if you want it though I will include it for nothing. Besides for the minor techincal issues bike is in great shape with really no other scrapes or paint loss to speak of, never crashed or dropped. Chainstay has a cool shellaced twine finish with tape under it to keep it water proof but if you dont want it I can get rid of it no problem, paint under it is perfect. One of the last of the Toyo built Salukis, it really is a beautiful bike but just too big for me.

[RBW] Re: Once upon a ride... (a Homage to Ray Hosler Cycling Adventures.)
I was indoctrinated at a very young age not to trespass onto private property. My dad had many stories from his youth (he was raised on a farm near Tulare, CA) of shooting trespassers with rock salt. No questions asked. It was family policy... you see someone you don't know on the farm, you shoot them with the rock salt. It was a relatively small family farm though, not a ranch with hills, trees, and a road system. It was more a situation that the trespassers were there to steal crops. I can't imagine cow theft by bicycle is very common. All that said... I have a friend (no, it's not me) who loves to fish lowland ponds (I do like to fish but I prefer high mtn lakes). Many of the ponds in Western WA are on private land. He regularly trespasses to fish these ponds. He's been caught several times. His default is to play dumb. He's charming in a nerdy sort of way that you might not expect from a trespassing fisherman. It works for him. If I do find myself in a trespassing situation, I'm already committed to the play dumb strategy. --Smitty -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Rivendell thinks the head angle is 73.5 and the seat tube is 72. Should fit 32mm-35mm. The rear spacing is 130mm. Here is some more info, this was written at the time of the frames construction: http://www.sandsmachine.com/bp_riv.htm Here are some pics: http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b182/akibb/IMG_1787.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b182/akibb/IMG_1793.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b182/akibb/IMG_1791.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b182/akibb/IMG_1785.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b182/akibb/IMG_1802.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b182/akibb/IMG_1799.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b182/akibb/IMG_1795.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b182/akibb/IMG_1788.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b182/akibb/IMG_1809.jpg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: FS Rivendell Road 60cm - $750
The lucky bugger, that would be me. Funny thing, this afternoon I was chatting with a local gentleman about an RB-2 he had for sale. I was really only interested in the frame, he was keen on selling the complete bike. So I put pencil to paper trying to figure out a way of making the deal work. Checking on the group tonight I noticed Andrew's Riv; I pounced. We had a nice chat, and I relieved him of a few other bits and pieces he had. I'm looking forward to the build keeping me occupied this winter. Thanks Esteban for the suggestion; I'm thinking along those same lines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Mountains of the Rose City
Nice shots. On a day like that and with some elevation it's hard to get a bad shot. I strongly suggest heading out to Crown Point some time for even more spectacular views. I'm always on the lookout for Rivs around Portland. I haven't seen either of those but I'll keep an eye out for them. --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
