[RBW] S240's and Lyme disease question.
Hilarious! The idea of S24O sounds so appealing until I realize that it includes sleeping in the woods voluntarily. Jim, you may joke about wild beasts and serial killers but the last time i slept in the woods I'm fairly confident it was littered with them and I simply couldn't sleep. This coming from a guy who is very comfortable sleeping on the NYC subway any time, day or night. I'm thinking about finding a good S24Oinahotelwithabar - safe from Lyme disease and wild beasts! -Jimmy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

I'll second Ed Litton. He's not your guy for a inexpensive job, but his work is excellent. He paints Bruce Gordon's bikes, I saw hanging in his shop all sorts of fancy old and new frames.

[RBW] Beautiful Sam at Bikeworks NYC
I spied my first look at a beautiful Sam Hillborne while visiting Bikeworks NYC this afternoon. Bikeworks NYC (http://bikecult.com/works/) had a new Sam with double top tube, albatross bars, bar end shifters and cork grips on display. It was only the 3rd Rivendell I have seen up close, the first being my AHH, the second an Atlantis belonging to a guy from Pittsburgh who was in NYC for the 5-borough bike tour. I had to buy my AHH having never seen a Rivendell, so if anyone is in the market, I highly suggest stopping by to see the Sam in person. I dropped my AHH off for some routine maintenance and they were very accommodating. I'll report back on the quality of service when I pick it up. -Jimmy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Chain length rule-of-thumb?
As long as it shifts smoothly into and out of the big/big combo (i.e., you can't feel any binding) you should be good. Cage angle doesn't make much of a difference. I use the big-big + 1 complete link (i.e. one whole set of inner and outer plates) rule of thumb and it's served me well. The caveat i would add is that big big means the minimum amount of chain that would go over both cogs and still *easily* close--i.e. it wouldn't be a stretch to connect.

Re: [RBW] Re: Chain length rule-of-thumb?
Thanks Doug, Andy and Jeremy. The new and shorter chain didn't suck during its first ride, including dusty dirt, which is an improvement over the previous, longer chain which was starting to suck more frequently. As I said, there is no binding or grumbling when shifting to the big/big, and there is still slack left in the rd on this combination. Overall the system shifts very well with the new, shorter chain. I suppose my question was moved by a dim, unreflective supposition that more slack means less tension, and that less tension means less friction and wear -- I am obviously in mind still back in the 1950s with those French racing derailleurs that allowed you to adjust rear derailleur spring tension manually. Multispeed bikes are so *complicated*, aren't they?

They've hardly been used; probably ridden under 40 miles and are in really nice condition. They currently have my old Look cleats on them, but will take SPD, too. Technically they're women's shoes, but they fit my small feet real well. They're a light gray color and are gender-neutral in appearance. Asking $30, which includes shipping in CONUS. *http://tinyurl.com/8q6w7zk* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Bullmoose Bars: New v. Old
Trying out some old Bullmoose bars on a 650b conversion and was wondering: are there major difference in feel/comfort between the original 80's bars and the Riv re-makes? I know the obvious ones about the shape and sweepback and overall beautiful aesthetic of the newer ones. Has anyone used both the originals and the newer ones? I enjoy the simplicity of them and ease of setup, just wondering if I should try and track down some of the newer ones, or if I'm alright sticking with the older variety.

Re: [RBW] Chain length rule-of-thumb?
First, you always want to make sure you can reach the big-ring, big-sprocket combo. You might not ever use it (and you shouldn't), but if you accidentally shift into it (sudden red light as your cruising along in the big ring) and you can't reach it, you might destroy your rear derailer. That being said, Sheldon's site has good advice. I have always used the method of, with the chain threaded normally, carefully shifting to the big-big combo, then check that you could remove one link pair when the derailer is fully extended. You need this little bit of slack so the chain can ride up and onto the big ring before settling onto it. More slack is OK as long as the derailer can take up the slack. Even if it can't, you may get chain suck and skipping, and you'll definitely hear a lot of complaining from your drivetrain, but ay least you won't permanently destroy things.

[RBW] FS: 60cm Sam Hillborne in Seattle (mine) with cream headtube and lots of stuff.
Due to some cash flow requirements, I'm attempting to sell my year-old-dear-old Sam. I won't be totally bikeless as I have my recently built Soma to keep me company. I had Riv paint the head tube and lug windows cream when I ordered it, which came out beautifully I think. It's also got a dynamo hub and headlamp. You can have either the Soma tires *or *two sets of Marathon Greenguards (38c with maybe 1,000 miles and 47c practically new). It's also got the awesome cork-then-cloth-then-shellac taping job. Here's a link to an imgur album of some photos I took todayhttp://imgur.com/a/W7UoL#0 Here's a link to a google docs spreadsheet of everything it's got and the original pricehttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0At8Rv4lmrOhcdGJ1cGtDdzRQWnhLc3AtcW4xTVgyNnc I've got it on consignment over at 2020 Cycle in Seattle's Central District. That way you can go over any time and take it for a ride, and can even buy it with a credit card. They're keeping a percentage, but they're really nice and have taken good care of me in the past. Asking $2200, but open to offers of course. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Beautiful Sam at Bikeworks NYC
I'm sure NYC has lots of good bike shops, or at least a handful---I of course wouldn't know---but I have a thing for Dave Perry, and kind of a long history, although it's all recent news to me. He attended my book talk when I was in NYC and was super gracious, really nice. He introduced himself and I recognized him barely but knew his name from his Bike Cult book of many years ago. I hooked up with an old Bstone cow-orker now living in Brooklyn, and we were walking in that part of town (lower east side, I think it is) and saw the same purple Zeus bike that I'd seen earlier outside the place I spoke at. It was outside a bike shop (BikeWorks NYC), which Dave said was his, so we went in and - if the do sell aluminum or carbon, I didn't seen any. It's small, but a really good shop. I talked to Ben and --- either Willard or Travis, sorry, another mechanic--and Dave, and I asked him where he grew up and he said Redwood City, CA, and then for me (maybe won't be to you) it got interesting. He said he raced, and I knew of a Dave Perry (2x district champion on the road), and it was him. We know lots of the same people. The thing about Dave is, he is SOO unracy, or at least not racy in an annoying way. He knows that world and those bikes and I doubt there's anybody with a broader range of bike knowledge than Dave. But you'd never know it, because he's so low key, as is his shop. It's like finding Bob Dylan owning a record store and working the counter, stocking the bins. I like NYC and I've always thought it would be good to have a dealer there, so I have been talking to Dave about it. He has no room, but he likes the bikes, and we sold him that Sam so he could get a feel for them. It seems like a good fit, but I have too much respect for Dave and for myself (and too much pride) to beg. We aren't looking for dealers at all, anyway. WHen we sell to a dealer, we cut our margin to essentially nothing so the dealer can make the money--the alternative being to raise the prices to make room for us AND the dealer to make money, but then a $2300 bike would cost $2600, and when our normal way is to sell direct, it just doesn't make sense. Still, I hope he becomes a dealer, and he is the only dealer in the country we don't have that I really pine forbut whether he is or not, I totally recommend him--as do others, I see. He grew up in Redwood City, CA, about an hour-by-car from here, and we raced at the same time. There were some overlapping years of it, anyway.

Good on you for not wasting any time. dougP On Oct 19, 6:43 pm, Robert F. Harrison rfharri...@gmail.com wrote: I'm on my first camping trip with my Hunq.

It was a great ride, bike handled beautifully even with all the gear...tent, pad, bag, change of clothes, so on and so forth. http://flickr.com/photos/mgps-bob/8104171170/ Quick stop at Makapuu lookout.

Hi Scott Is that with the rack, basket, and all that are in the pics? If so, that is a KILLER deal! Beautiful bike. The paint job really makes it. If it was in my size, I'd snap it up!

[RBW] Re: Bullmoose Bars: New v. Old
There were many variations on the bullmoose theme that came on early MTB's. Some had much more vertical rise than reach, others were flatter. Some were cheap, heavy, chromed steel, others were nice chromoly. Of the ones i've seen, the 80's ones were generally much straighter--with less sweep to the grip area--than the Riv/Nitto remakes.

I know the obvious ones about the shape and sweepback and overall beautiful aesthetic of the newer ones. Has anyone used both the originals and the newer ones? I enjoy the simplicity of them and ease of setup, just wondering if I should try and track down some of the newer ones, or if I'm alright sticking with the older variety.
