[RBW] Big Sur Tour
My Brother Bruce and I have been planning a cyclotour from San Francisco to Paso Robles for months and all the planning paid off. On June 14th Bruce picked me up in LA loaded up the bikes and headed for Paso Robles where we were planning to catch the Amtrak coast starlight to Oakland. The Coast Star Light was 20 minutes late and when it arrived the chief conductor said we could not bring our bikes aboard as we had not made reservations for boxes. If we had all we’d have needed to do was remove the pedals and loosen the handlebars and roll it into the box provided. Needless to say we were in a bind, what to do? It was Friday on graduation weekend and 5:30pm most of the rental car establishments were closing and the ones that were open had no cars to rent especially one way. We rented a Camry in SLO for $100 a day drove back to Paso and dropped off our car stuffed the tour bikes in the Camry and make it to the Clarion Hotel in Oakland at midnight my front fender took a hit and was bent awkwardly. The following day we jumped on BART and headed to RivHQ. How can you be so close to the epicenter of relaxed common sense cycling and not stop in? It was mandatory. We made some repairs and final purchases met with Will, Sean, Scott, Harry the man behind it all Grant who was busy on a photo shoot preparing for a BW catalogue. Harry Scott helped us Google map a route over to Pigeon Point Lighthouse and Grant humored me with a pose with the loaded Hilsen and said “the Hilsen’s not really a loaded tour bike”. But he felt it would handle just fine. We finally made our way back to the BART albeit late and headed for San Bruno. From there we promptly got confused as the Beta bicycle map feature lead us along a bikeway of enumerable (Lesson carry a map) turns and eventually lead us up to a closed bridge near Crystal Springs Reservoir. Fortunately we met a local cyclist who got us straightened out and we were on our way to Half Moon Bay via the 92 (note to self never take this route again) which had little to no shoulder lots of traffic and was windy. We stopped in Half Moon Bay refueled with sandwiches and continued to our Light house destination for the evening. The next day was our big mileage day 70 miles to the Marina area just north of Monterey via the farm lands of Castroville and Watsonville. The Ramada provided us with warm showers great beds and a breakfast in the morning where we loaded up with instant oatmeal and peanut butter for our two days in the Sur. We both agreed that night’s pizza “The Luau” was the best ever! Our third day of riding took us through Monterey and Caramels 17 mile drive which if by car there was a fee and if by bicycle well we just rolled through the gate another benefit of being on a bicycle. I’ve got to say that this stretch is amazing as there are no large cliffs and reminds me of La Jolla in San Diego. We made a pit stop at the grocery store at the south end of Carmel to load up on supplies, Dutch Crunch bread, fresh fruit and other essentials. One of my fender nuts had fallen off and there was an Ace Hardware store where I conveniently got a replacement. We continued on for another 26 miles to the Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park hike bike camp located a bit away from the water but none the less beautiful as it was in a Redwood grove and $5 per person, warm showers and Velo-culture abounded, it was like riding into a cyclo city just awesome! We met so many great people. Next morning we made our way toward Kirk Creek Camp which was situated near the water and a bit exposed. The thing was that the hike and bike area had been overtaken by car campers as they liked the location and we were relegated to a typical car camp spot, that didn’t dampen our mood as how can you be upset while in the Sur? The camp host felt bad and gave us a wheel barrel of wood and Jacob from Colorado built a great fire. We camped with a couple of teachers from Colorado Jacob ( Can’t remember his wife’s name will update this later), a couple from Belgium Davie Rose who have been on tour around the world for 9 months and two fellows from Toulouse France Marc and Sebastian. On our second to last day of riding we rolled refreshed South towards our next destination Cambria by the sea. We stopped off at Ragged Point for a rest and saw all our fellow cyclotourist friends and wished them well on their next overnight at San Simeon Creek campsite I really wanted to camp another night as the wide open feeling was magnificent, but we had reservations and well that was that! The Bridge Street Inn was in my humble opinion the best I have ever experienced, the proprietor Jan was gracious and her intern Lauralie from France kept a clean house and provided a great atmosphere with great conversation. The next morning we awoke to have breakfast provided by the Inn to get us on our way in style. So we headed out of Cambria and climbed up to the Cabrillo

[RBW] 2013 Summer Solstice - Staunton River Battlefield to Red Hill Loop Ride
http://www.flickr.com/photos/julianmeade/sets/72157634266766597/ The ride was a 63 mile loop on the Solstice starting from the Staunton River Battlefield up the south side of the Staunton/Roanoke River crossing on the historic Clarkton Bridge then on to Red Hill, Patrick Henry's last home. Red Hill is well maintained and a beautiful spot for lunch and a nap on the picnic table in the shade of an ancient oak. Located in the front yard is the National Champion Osage Orange tree which is amazing in itself and the fact located adjacent to the house it survived the 1919 fire that destroyed the original structure. I returned on the north side of the river following the more rural and gravel roads (and its hard to be more rural than the southside) most if not all of which are well over 150 years old. The final crossing of the river was at the Staunton River Battle Rail Bridge which as the Clarkton Bridge is open only for non-motorized traffic. This area along the river basin was once thriving and wealthy, now has somewhat of an abandoned feel.tobacco is waning, the factories located in the towns are for the most part closed, the small farms don't cut it, and many folks simply moved away, simply a bygone era.many of the fine older homes which are still standing and maintained are not visible from the roads.I could have and should have taken a ton more shots. At times I would ride for a 5 mile stretch and never see a car or person.and along the gravel roads it was sometimes 3 plus miles between houses.a great area for cycling but its definitely BYOB.(bike, beer, breakfast, lunch, etc) Meade Anderson -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Water!
Apparently the Vangal was a re-branded French import brought in by a couple of Americans, with last names Van... and ...gal, back in the '70s; his was the top o' line model (Champion?) and I have to say that the lug thinning and brazing detail looked as good to cursory eyes as that on my Curt-built custom Riv. And he had polished up very nicely the Stronglight 99 and various odd bits with which he had built it up. Very pretty. Riv-ish content: he was riding no-retention. (I am always impressed and a bit amused by how shiny many people keep their bikes. It certainly makes them look good! Mine are well maintained, but not often washed.) The owner has a website and gave me his card, and I'll try to track down a photo and post it -- he is Bob Hanson from the CR list, btw. We met halfway on one of ABQ's many bike trails to swap an orphan 99 left arm for a ditto Pro 5 Vis ditto. The Vangal (Champion model?) is certainly Rivish, if not Rivendellian. (Or is that vice-versa?). The very early '80s commercially pure, standard-tubing-widthed, titanium Sumitomo is said to have very, very pretty tigg'ing -- even the crown to steerer transition, he said, is so perfect that you can't see the joint. I'll try to post that one, too. On Sun, Jun 23, 2013 at 8:02 AM, Ron Mc bulldog...@gmail.com wrote: triple the humidity and ride with us in S. Texas...but I like your style.

Meade, beautiful country and a fun looking ride. Yeah, 100k is a great distance for rambling. Long enough to get out, see some things, and enjoy some solitude without turning into a slog. Your bike looks great, what frame is that? --mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Big Sur Tour
Sounds like a great trip! Touring the Pacific Coast in the warmer months is always a bike party. Another lesson: Check with local cyclists if possible. Locals would probably not have routed you on Highway 92. King's Mountain or Old La Honda would have been recommended; it's possible to ride 92, as you discovered, but better alternatives exist. In Northern California, highways are not called THE N. They are just called N, so for example Highway 92 is called Highway 92. About the train: Cyclists need reservations for the bike on the Coast Starlight now? When I have ridden it with my bike, I have arrived early, boxed my bike and paid for it, and then given it to the baggage people with no trouble. I've never made a reservation beforehand, just arrived at the station by bike and boxed the bike (in a box supplied by Amtrak). Is it a new policy that bikes need reservations?

[RBW] Big Bens on the Atlantis?
In the last sale, I bought a pair of Big Bens, hoping to install them on the Atlantis. But now, looking at the bike-- will those tires fit on the Atlantis?

[RBW] Brooks Saddle tension lesson
My wife's new Brooks came with a wrench, and as one of my saddles had been sagging a bit, I did the very natural thing - I tightened it up! Wouldn't you? Ah, but in taking away the sag, I made the seat much, much firmer, in fact too firm, a point that was driven home to me on yesterday's Brevet - my ischial tuberosties were not happy with the newly-hard seat. Lesson for me: A sagging leather seat is also a seat that is absorbing impact from potholes and pavement seams. It's okay to tighten the seat a bit, but not too much, lest I turn it into a frat house paddle board. - Andrew, Berkeley -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Overheard on Sierra to the Sea
Last week I was on the (very fine) Sierra to the Sea ride put on by Almaden Cycle Touring Club. It was tons of fun. Rivendell was represented by me, and also JimD. The first night, I hopefully snuggled my British racing green Roadeo next to JimD's orange custom, hoping that in the morning I'd see a little red Betty Foy, but alas, I was disappointed. That was pretty much the only disappointment of the entire trip, though. The food was super and plentiful, and somehow ACTC managed to route us across the entire state of California on fabulous roads. Some of those roads were rough: Dogtown Road in the Sierra foothills, some Delta roads and the fabulous Coleman Valley Road in Sonoma County spring to mind. My Roadeo with Rolly Polys purred like a kitten. The Jack Browns might have even been a better choice. Overheard: Rider #1: My neck gets so sore sometimes when I'm riding, I have to look down for a while instead of looking ahead. Rider #2: Me too, even though I know it's not that safe. Me: Have you tried raising your handlebars? Rider #1: ?? You mean tilting them? Me: No, just moving them up higher. Rider #1: (puzzled) I don't think you can do that on my bike. Jim Warren showed up to say hello and ask about the ride, on his Hunqa with the Big Bens. The two riders with me were obviously appalled at the the idea that someone might try the ride with Big Bens. (But they're so heavy!) In fact, Big Bens would be great. In addition to the idea that bikes need to be shod with 23 mm or 25 mm tires, a number of the Sierra to the Sea riders apparently subscribed to the common belief that extra clothing, food and equipment weigh less if you carry them in a backpack or in jammed pockets, than if you carry them on the bike. Saddlebags and front bags were not much in evidence. One day we rode from Calistoga to the Russian River. The optional route included Sweetwater Springs, one of those roads that is terrific in almost every possible way: deserted, with oak grasslands, then a secluded little valley, then a (steep) climb up through redwoods. The regular route was not too shabby either, but I chose the Sweetwater option. On the way up I passed a couple of other riders walking. I understand the appeal of compact doubles if compact doubles give you low enough gears. And for a lot of people (who are stronger than me or lighter than me or both) compact doubles do work. But riders who are walking the steep hills, or riding up them with some knee-destroying cadence in the 30s or 40s, need lower gears. It's sad to hear, The guy in the bike shop told me... when the guy in the bike shop obviously told the rider the wrong thing. I highly recommend Sierra to the Sea.

[RBW] Swift Industries s24o, Seattle/Bainbridge Island
I took the train from Portland to Seattle Friday to make some new friends. The weather was fantastic--clear skies and warm days. We crossed Puget Sound on the Bainbridge Island ferry, and rode along the western short to Fay Bainbridge park. There was firewood and whisky, and a great time. The next morning, the whole crew rolled down to downtown Winslow for coffee and a snack--three of us stayed on the island, making a loop towards the eastern part of the island, through some nice hills and farmland. Absolutely wonderful setting. We achieved our objective, which was a cheese shop in Lynwood Center. The ride back took us on a short detour on some gravel that winds its way through side yards and the shoreline. Excellent! I personally rode around Seattle for a few hours before my train back to Portland, and soaked my feet in Lake Union.

At least up front the Atlantis seems to have abundant vertical tire clearance. If the back is similar in that regard it seems like the big bens would probably fit. Since you have the tires it's likely worth it to just mount them and try the fit. On Sunday, June 23, 2013 9:45:50 AM UTC-7, Anne Paulson wrote: The Marathon Supremes fit with fenders?

[RBW] Re: Brooks Saddle tension lesson
actually, I backed off my daughter's new saddle a bit https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bK-zx2_ire8/UcdFwMMn1dI/BCY/K9t_0_JrOlw/s1600/aaaP6230001.JPG the idea being to make it as soft as it can be while she's breaking it in, and will tighten later as needed. My Selle AnAtomica has been crazy, though - it has really sagged in the first 150 miles (most in the first 8) requiring frequent tightening. I heard that need is supposed to slow down, but if it does wear out, I'll replace it with a Brooks.

Wouldn't you? Ah, but in taking away the sag, I made the seat much, much firmer, in fact too firm, a point that was driven home to me on yesterday's Brevet - my ischial tuberosties were not happy with the newly-hard seat. Lesson for me: A sagging leather seat is also a seat that is absorbing impact from potholes and pavement seams. It's okay to tighten the seat a bit, but not too much, lest I turn it into a frat house paddle board. - Andrew, Berkeley -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

The optional route included Sweetwater Springs, one of those roads that is terrific in almost every possible way: deserted, with oak grasslands, then a secluded little valley, then a (steep) climb up through redwoods. The regular route was not too shabby either, but I chose the Sweetwater option. On the way up I passed a couple of other riders walking. I understand the appeal of compact doubles if compact doubles give you low enough gears. And for a lot of people (who are stronger than me or lighter than me or both) compact doubles do work. But riders who are walking the steep hills, or riding up them with some knee-destroying cadence in the 30s or 40s, need lower gears. It's sad to hear, The guy in the bike shop told me... when the guy in the bike shop obviously told the rider the wrong thing. I highly recommend Sierra to the Sea.

Re: [RBW] Re: Water!
Even from this hop monger, Fat Tire is kind of a no-brainer. A nice citrus note that makes it a good summertime brew. Sour trappist ales really hit the spot when you're feeling dehydrated. Obviously a lot of alcohol is a dumb idea, but a beer gives you carbs, makes you take a rest - just make sure you drink enough water to hydrate beyond the (small portion of) alcohol. If you can't think of a better place to ride, ride 15 miles to the brewpub, have a light lunch, drink a beer, head for the barn.

Re: [RBW] WTB: Rivendell Rambouillet
My buy/sell story is a simple matter of space and economics. I bought JL's Ram recently, then picked up a Riv frame I've always wanted - a Bleriot - and a RANS recumbent. Too many bikes, too much cash outlay, and I had a nice set of Phil 650B wheels in need of a frame. So the wheels went on the Bleriot, and a young fellow brought the Ram back to San Francisco from whence it had recently come. I don't seem to get attached to any particular bicycle.

I got a Selle Anatomica a few hundred miles ago. The tension thing has me confused. After the saddle began to sag a bit, I tightened it as per instructions. After the next couple rides, I noticed that the tension bolt was just flopping around loose. Tightened it again and the same thing happened. And again, etc. So, does one just keep a close eye on the bolt and just keep tightening it every ride until it stops loosening up or until the saddle self destructs? Any advice most appreciated.

Re: [RBW] WTB: Rivendell Rambouillet
You are like my brother Peter, ex-LA, who buys, builds, rides, and flips dozens of bikes every year: he has a vast, vast experience of marques and models, but despite the volume manages to maintain a very high margin, never spending spends more than a few hundred for a top-end complete bike and, usually, far less than this for quality merchandise. (Recently: three mtb wheelsets including one pair with $500+ White or DT or Hugi or somesuch hubs, all high end, for, what, $180?) I, on the other hand, buy few and relatively dear, ride, then sell cheap -- good thing my volume is 1/50 of his! He is, by my habits, surprisingly detached from his bikes; it is only one in, say, 50 that becomes a keeper. Me, in contrast: I buy, ride, evaluate, say meh, sell, but when I come to something I like, I stick to it forever and disdain to experiment further.

[RBW] Re: Brooks Saddle tension lesson
Brooks have reverse (LH) threads so you stretch the saddle by turning clockwise. Selle bolt is RH thread, so you stretch the saddle by turning counterclockwise.

Re: [RBW] Re: Brooks Saddle tension lesson
Well, tension is usually not needed. Less is more. The leather will stretch, and will not recover. Eventually, you will max out the bolt, left or right threaded, and it will be time for a new Brooks (As they used to say). New Brooks may not have the leather of the ones from 60 years ago when new, and may not last as long as those legendary Brooks. But, they can still be good, and there were always lower quality Brooks. Especially when I started riding with passion in the late 1960's. I've heard you can buy a Brooks made from a premium level organic old cow leather, thicker and maybe cut only from the best part of the hide, but all things must pass. Still, maybe we are beyond the era of heroic and misguided saddle soakings in oil, and oven heating. Does anyone park their bike outdoors all the time anymore? I don't. That used to be a saddle killer, too. Less is more, but keep it dry, and ride ride ride!

Osage Orange Trees - one of my favorites, little seen these days but made great hedges too.now an Osage Orange is a tree that artisan camping axes should have their handles made out of.(I have a box of OO in which I keep my piece of meteorite.protection by the tree of steel) Well to be honest, the ride was 62.99 miles.I lied about 63.it can be an area which has lots of emotions/feelings.history, abandonment, nature, rural, desolation.it's a very different area.the collapse of the furniture industry and the textile mills and those goods being made over seas has pretty much crushed the economy with the decline of tobacco.I could go on.but hopefully it can get better.tourism helps.even bike tourism. ; } As for the bike, that's a custom Bilenky, 650b frame, that Stephen built for me.low trail, lots of clearances, ss coupled, one of these days I'll finish the details of the built.I've changed it around several times and now it sports a set of Jitensha Studio Nitto bars which were supposed to be custom bent.I picked them up about 10 years ago and never used them on a bike. I would have loved to cranked until dark and camped another night but it was the next to last night of the James River Batteau Festival (talk about the retro grouches of river running) and they were pulling into Cartersville and I wanted to catch some old time music and have a cold brew at the landing.another river, another entire drainage basin with its own history.though more prominent in the books.

The single legger comes with the sandwich style clamper, long bolt, that's it. I had to buy the shorty bolt to make it work.
