Re: [RBW] Interrupteur levers and cloth-over-cork on the Sam

Totally nice for when I'm braking with one hand and shifting to a low gear with the other hand when coming to a stop. I also spend a lot of time with my hands up there and it's nice to have the reassurance of brakes-at-the-ready. 2. New bar wrap with cork underneath and shellacked Neubaum's on top.

David- The 610 maxes out at 61mm, so it probably won't work. Sounds like the 750 would be perfect, though. According to VeloBase the range on the 750's is 60-78mm. I had the 750's on my sidepull Sam for a while and they were really nice.

[RBW] Re: Rain Gear?
I use the Showers Pass touring jacket and some rain paints I purchased at REI on sale for $80 (reg. $130). I use outdoor wear rubber duck boots when I know it will rain hard but admit that I try to avoid those days. http://www.llbean.com/llb/search?freeText=Duck+Bootsqs=3006414_pmd_google Your visibility is reduced in heavy rain and at night, two bad combos for survival. I usually use a long sleeve wool shirt from Riv and when its really cold and the same tights go under the rain pants. I'll put on my short sleeve wool shirt over the long one if its super cold. These allow good moisture management under the rain jacket. I have a thin wool cap I use for under my helmet when I ride in the dark. Socks (wool), gloves (wool) but they get wet in heavy rain..fortunately I haven't been caught in a real hard rain for more than a few minutes and haven't tested my set up in that way. I live in Washington State so it rains but usually its more of a constant drizzle or lighter rain rather than a monsoon. Heat control is more of an issue for me since I have quite a few hills to contend with making me want to unzip and remove layers one minute and the next minute put them back on. live and learn. I like the Schwalbe Supreme tires in the rain too by the way and have switched to Kool Stop brake pads because of the same wet climate. And my front flap goes to maybe one inch off the ground.this really helps keep my feet dry.

This is a really great frame for all around riding or loaded touring. Very comfortable and stable yet pretty lively thanks to the geo and the tubing selection. 26 wheels on the 53cm frame. Grant design and Waterford build. The Wayfarer is basically the Heron Touring frame with these changes: • Features a new, heavy-duty fork equipped with mid-fork braze-ons for low-rider rack mounting. • New stainless steel dropouts are left bare on the mounting surfaces to prevent paint damage from quick release skewers and hubs. • The chainstay bridge is positioned the same distance from the rear axle as the seatstay bridge to provide a cleaner fender installation. • The seatstay and chainstay bridges provide braze-ons for simple, direct fender mounting. The 53cm will fit a saddle height of ~66 to 69cm. Depends how much post you want to show.

[RBW] Jay Bird Films
I read the blog by Mike Varley of Black Mountain Cycles in Point Reyes Station. Recently Mike linked to a Vimeo bio of Tom Ritchey. It was done by Jay Bird Films. Not a big surprise to see that is Jay Ritchey of former Rivendell fame. Go have a look if you are so inclined.

I have and like both, as well as the helmet cover. They are built well, MUSA, and rely on large hidden vents instead of breathable fabric.

[RBW] Re: Jay Bird Films
Tom Ritchey was such a key figure in the start of mountain biking and a remarkable athlete. I didn't realize ( until I looked it up) that he is the same age as me. To have been building frames so early and so well is a true gift. I still remember the '89 Worlds that Don Myrah won. I had just finished racing in the amateur race on the same course earlier in the day and was there to suck it all in. Although at 10,000 ft you don't suck much air. Those were the good old days, rigid steel bikes and none of the panzy suspension stuff. the video is very well done too. ~mike Carlsbad Ca.

Makes you wonder what other interesting connections exist at RBW. Lot of Bay Area bike people in that age bracket. Maybe a link between the woodsie bike some Rivs?

Re: [RBW] What do you use for saddle/seatpost security on your Rivendell?
I don't do it, but if you want secure use a bike chain inside an old inner tube. Use a chain tool to assemble it around the rails and upper seat stay. Like this but w/ the inner tube around it to protect the finish: http://www.flickr.com/photos/frogmob/4682845850/ On Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 9:56 PM, lungimsam john11.2...@gmail.com wrote: I was wondering what you all use to secure the seatpost and saddle on your bike from theft?
