[RBW] Re: FT: Small Acorn Bag New, Camper Long flap

[Ryan Ray]

So I've had offers on the Acorn, and for a green long flap so I should put 
the black long flap up for sale just in case I don't find a trade.

How's $100 for the newish longflap and the SQR? $80 without?

Still trying to work out a trade for a black acorn or acorn-like small or 
like-small handlebar bag.

[RBW] FT: Small Acorn Bag New, Camper Long flap

[Ryan Ray]

I have a black camper longflap (and SQR if you want it) that I absolutely 
love. I just picked up a tan small handlebar bag that was just what I 
wanted: small, not floopy, nice looking. Actually the Acorn is far better 
made than the Carradice. Anyway, after purchasing I realized I am one of 
THOSE people who like matching-ish bike bags. I'm hoping someone will trade 
me their green longflap (not likely) for my newish black one, or give me 
their black small acorn handlebar bag or equivalent. Otherwise you can have 
my acorn bag for $55 shipped. 

Here is the longflap in 
action: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ryanrray/8414654418/in/photostream/

And this is the bag I have: http://www.acornbags.com/smhdlbarbag.html

Re: [RBW] Forward rocking vibration with long reach brakes

I was coming here to suggest this. See if you can create the same sensation 
while standing still by applying front brakes then pushing forward on the 
handlebars while straddling it. If you can you need to get your headset 
tightened.

Perhaps it is a very slightly loose headset? I've often found that front
braking vibrations go away after I tighten the headset slightly.

[RBW] Re: Forward rocking vibration with long reach brakes

[Cyclofiend Jim]

Photos on setup issues are a good idea.  

There are a goodly number of variables in brake setup, as well as perceived 
feelings.  But, there's really no inherent reason why you should get 
vibration from longer arm brakes.   It certainly _can_ happen with some 
setupsThere was a long set of discussions in some of the other groups about 
the flexing of certain types of hangers for canti brake setups - those can 
(under CX race conditions and other high load stopping conditions) 
flex/deflex creating a front brake shudder.  If you've ever felt that, you 
would not describe it as "slight", so I don't think it's what you are 
experiencing. 

Is the vibration speed-dependent?  In other words, is it much worse when 
you increase speed or load?  When you say "forward rocking" is it pulsing? 
Is it a new rim?

To troubleshoot, I'd double check the brake shoe alignment and check the 
rim surface. I'd also check the brake mounting itself so see if something 
is shifting when the brake is applied.  

My Hilsen has long reach Silvers.  I'm in the 190 pound range and 
definitely carry gear on the bike. But, haven't felt that kind of vibration.

Re: [RBW] Roadeo specimens?

[sancruz]

I've been thinking about picking up a Roadeo lately, so I called Rivendell 
yesterday and spoke with Dave.  What I got from the conversation was that 
you can choose any Rivendell stock color scheme, from any model, with the 
cream accents.r.  Any other "custom" color you dream up would be an 
up-charge.  However, I realized i didn't get clarification on whether the 
stock color scheme could be from a previous model, like the gray & red Hunq 
(now green).

[RBW] Re: Tip for riding in the rain with eye glasses...

[leeyut1988]

that's funny, i stopped wearing contacts 12 years ago because i had so many 
problems with contacts and bike riding.

My eyes were drying out from all the wind and that's even when I was 
wearing fancy bolle and oakley sunglasses.  Dry eyes and wind equals the 
contacts flying out, losing them and not being able to see.

Or I would get a little dust particle in my eyes, that's very painful, have 
to stop immediately and pop out my contacts and ride to my destination with 
poor vision until I was able to get to a restroom to clean my eyes and 
contacts and put them back in.

My rain riding plus glasses wearing now includes a fancy waterproof light 
weight hiking rain jacket that has a form fitting hood with integrated 
brim. I put my hood on under my helmet so my hood moves with my head and 
the hood doesn't block my vision at all.

That is a great choice of color Toshi. 
One of the most beautiful to my eye customs that I have seen at Rivendell (I 
used to live nearby) was a dark red custom. When I asked what color red that 
was the answer was ox blood red. That was years ago and I have not forgotten 
it. When (not if) my custom frame gets ordered that color will be in my top 3 
choices.

Riv-folks are usually pretty straight forward on the next expected run, and 
may be able to set up a "pre-order" for you.  Although I'm a big fan of 
faceless conjecture on the internet, it's probably best in this case to 
give them a call directly.

Re: [RBW] Re: Betty's commute... and Riv panniers!

[Ray Shine]

I unabashedly copied the stem shifter idea from Rene when I put my Gomez 
together last year. I love them, and they operate a wide-range double with 8 
speed cas. The upright position is very comfortable. The Gomez is my primary 
commuter, but I have ridden it on longer weekend rides. Here is a set showing 
the stem shifter set up:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/8581354@N03/sets/72157628327426017/

I also have stem shifters on my Bleriot, although they are a vintage set of 
SunTours. here is a set that will show those:

[RBW] FS: Various Bike Bags (Baggins, Carradice, Berthoud)

[Minh]

First big bag purge of the year.  

I recently cleaned out some closets and i’m embarrassed at the number of 
excessive bags that i’ve accumulated (both bike and other types), so this is my 
first attempt at moving some of them along.  Prices include shipping and paypal 
fees (as long as you live in the US).  Please email me directly with any 
questions, if you’re reading via a smart-phone, you may need to switch to the 
desktop version (link at the bottom of your browser), to reply directly.

If you want to look at all the pictures you can start here: 
http://www.flickr.com/photos/minhi/sets/72157632610369600/

Berthoud 704 Bag and Rack: $250
This is the smaller of the two Berthoud Saddlebags the GB704, capacity is about 
7L and measures
220mm W x 170mm H X 250mm D.   I originally bought both sizes thinking i’d swap 
between the two bags and two bikes but i’ve had the larger one mounted/used 
99.9% of the time.  I’ve used this smaller one a handful of times (sunny, no 
rain).  The rack has never been mounted as both bags came with a mount and i 
only used the one.  The rack is quite beefy and makes carrying heavier items a 
little more manageable as it provides a platform from below to support the 
load.  The rack comes with a shim to fit a 27.2 seat-post, if you have a 
different size you’ll need to come up with your own shim.

Baggins Boxy Bag: $75, Old style boxy handlebar bag, designed for the F15 
handlebar rack.  this is patched as a Baggins.  the bag is faded and well 
loved, but no holes or tears, there are some grease stains in various locations 
on the bag.  The F15 is not included, so you’ll need to get one of those if you 
don’t have one.

Baggins Handlebar Bag: $95, I believe this is the pre-cursor to the hobo bag, 
it looks a little smaller then a true hobo bag and the pockets on the front are 
different, this one has 1 big pocket instead of two separate ones on the front, 
with a single flap.   Some light grease stains on the bottom where it got close 
to the tire.  Otherwise in very good condition, the leather is still really 
dark.  You can use this without a rack or decaleur (and i don’t think using a 
rack would actually help) the bag sways as you pedal--but there are d-rings on 
the corners in the front where you could secure it with some twine, will work 
with drop bars the best.  You can get this to work with alba and moustache bars 
but it will require some creative arrangements with twine to the brake levers 
to secure it.

Carradice Saddlebag (beat-up): $50, for those that can remember, this is a 
carradice saddle bag from about 10 years ago that came to Rivendell as a 
‘second’, somehow the bags were stitched with the pockets/flaps on the wrong 
side (look at the picture, it’s hard to explain).  You end up with a saddlebag 
that works perfectly fine, but looks bad because you have an extraneous pocket 
on one side and an extraneous flap on the other.  Someone at Riv attempted to 
‘fix’ this bag by snipping off the flap, but stopped halfway.  Bottom line, the 
extra pocket and half-snipped flap look terrible, but the center compartment 
functions fine.  The top-flap also has an extension to fit over-sized items, 
surprisingly large volumes can be stored.  This is missing the toe-strap that 
goes around the seat-post.  The bag has gotten very little usage over the 
years, it still has the out of the box stiffness of old Carradice bags.  The 
gray spots in the pics is actually dust.

Re: [RBW] Roadeo specimens?

Toshi,
Your information differs from what Mark emailed me. He said there would be
a $150 upcharge for Rambouillet orange. Perhaps other non-stock colors
don't involve an extra charge. I will ask.

"Same price regardless of color? Or same price for threaded/threadless?
Anyone know?"

Toshi is right.  Any Riv model that is built to order gives you some 
no-charge color latitude.  The two main exceptions to that are:  They can 
veto it if they hate your color choices and they can upcharge you if the 
paintjob you want is a more expensive paint job than the one they normally 
would have done.  Color substitutions don't cost anything, for the most 
part.

Re: [RBW] Roadeo specimens?

[Michael]

It says:
Graphical & Other Optionals

White with red accents.
White with blue accents
Any color that goes well with cream, with cream accents. That rules out white 
and cream, but not much else.
 

Any of these color options is available with a threaded or threadless fork, 
same price."

Same price regardless of color? Or same price for threaded/threadless?
Anyone know?

Re: [RBW] Roadeo specimens?

[Michael]

I like blue, so that's the color I'd get.
One thing confusing about the description on the Rivsite is where it says you 
can get it red, or blue, or anything else that matches cream.
If opting for the latter, is there a custom paint charge? Or not? Doesn't say.

Re: [RBW] Re: 1 bike? Could you do it?

[Jim Thill - Hiawatha Cyclery]

I've loaned my own bikes to customers and friends who have proved to be 
trustworthy. It's not a bad idea, maybe, from a sales standpoint. If someone 
comes in with a crummy bike that needs $300 worth of work to become a 
functional crummy bike, a nicer "loaner" may sow the seeds of bike lust and 
future sales.

Re: [RBW] Re: SFR Lighthouse brevet. Roll call?

[Cyclofiend Jim]

Was hoping to do either the 200K or the Populaire, but the base mileage was 
well and truly lacking.  Not sure I'll have the gumption to root everyone 
on at 7 am, but rumor has it of a low-key RR Grade ramble, wherein there 
may be trail guidance to certain visitors of the area who we do not want to 
leave to the coyotes and mountain lions. 

Bonne Route to all the riders!

Can you tell us a little more about the stem shifter setup?? I like how

[RBW] Foss tubes

[Dennis Hogan]

I had the same problem with a Foss tube - tried several times to find the hole 
with a water bath and no luck but when it was mounted and fully inflated I 
noticed that the leak was at the base of the stem- could hear it when the stem 
was deflected but it did not show up in the water bath under moderate inflation 
- very frustrating.

I understand, no need to ride the canyon just yet, we could ride from the

Re: [RBW] 1 bike? Could you do it?

[Steven Frederick]

Of course I "could" do it.  But there are a couple of  reasons I wouldn't
unless I was literally forced to:

-I have several bikes that I wouldn't want to part with simply because they
are unique and/or special to me.

-I like to do different sorts of riding and I'd have to give up or
compromise the experience if I only had one bike.  MTB for road riding?
All'rounder for trail riding?  Doable, but less fun.

So, I could.  But I wouldn't...

Beautiful bike. I have to say I had a  payment for the same frame worked
out over the phone one day until we all decided I would be better off going
up to the 56. They didnt have any 56cm Bombadils built so I got one off the
list. I do love the paint scheme on this one though, looks amazing.

[RBW] Re: Nitto M18 or Mark's Rack Light Mount Epiphany

[Tom Harrop]

This is a great idea and I can vouch that it works well. I also used a 
Nitto assembly to attach the light to the gf's Homer's Mark's rack (three 
apostrophes in a row!). I used a bit of SS stock instead of a Gino's Mount 
but the outcome is similar.

I didn't think to use a washer because I'm a hack, but it's been over a 
year now and I just checked it—it's still rock solid.

No great photos but you can just make it out 
here

[RBW] Re: Nitto M18 or Mark's Rack Light Mount Epiphany

[Ron Mc]

One last ps - since I have the tools and experience, if anyone needs a Gino 
tapped for M6, look me up.  I'll return it ready to go along with a washer

Re: [RBW] Roadeo specimens?

[nawrock]

This is not a stock color but was painted at D&D based on the colors of Marks 
custom cross bike. When I first saw pics of Marks bike I was taken back by the 
colors and ordered my Rodeo with those colors. Right after I got it Riv came 
out with the same color scheme on some of its other bikes. 


These were taken soon after I got the bike, the banana bag has been replaced 
with a canvas small Kevins bag. 
Great bike, True temper platinum OX frame, reynolds fork, made in the USA at 
Waterford.

Hi. Do any list members have Roadeos that they're riding now? I'm especially 
interested in seeing a picture of the stock white/blue model. There is a 
blue/white frame on the Riv site but not one that's built up. 
Thanks,

Re: [RBW] Re: 1 bike? Could you do it?

[Robert Zeidler]

I'll have to get some pics. W/ disc brakes wheel size doesn't matter much. Am I 
going to run these man bike rims that much? Probably not but if the situation 
arises.
