Hi Mike,

A tour to mark ten years is an excellent plan :)I'd love to see some 
pics of your Curt Goodrich A/R. About the ST decal, yes it's an option, 
you can request wrap-around or diamond style.They even have different 
outline colors to choose from.

 Very nice All-rounder! 

 I have custom (Curt-built) A/R as well (26 wheels, though) and am pleased 
 as punch with it.  How exciting to have a future old friend and traveling 
 companion!

 I was just looking at my records and I ordered it in January of '03 and it 
 was delivered at the end of July '04.  It seemed like an eternity and I 
 probably purchased parts for three complete bikes in that time...  (Wow, I 
 can't believe it's been that long.  I guess I have to start planning a 10 
 year anniversary tour for next summer!)

 One thing I notice about your bike is that it has the diamond shaped old 
 style decal on the seat tube rather than the more recent wrapped all the 
 way around rectangle.  Was this an option?  Are they moving back to the 
 older style?  Just curious.  I was always fond of the older diamond style 
 and it's nice to see a new bike with that style.

 Enjoy the ride and thanks for sharing!

 Cheers- Mike in Htfd CT

Patrick,

I just think it's cool that you can call them up, and whoever answers the 
phone is probably going to answer your question/help you out right then.   
  Oftentimes Grant will answer the phone.How many longstanding, 
renowned companies (almost 20 years for Rivendell) have founders who still 
talk to you when you call them up.It means something.

By the way, those are some brilliant photos you posted from the 2-nighter 
in the other thread.That is gorgeous country you have over there.

 Hi All,

 A couple years ago Rivendell mentioned in their mailing list update that 
 their custom queue had gotten very short. This certainly planted a 
 thought in my mind and after pondering for a while, being a huge fan of all 
 bikes Rivendell, I decided to order my first custom from them, an 
 all-rounder.   If you are on the fence about going to Rivendell for a 
 custom (or any bike), I advise going for it.   Let's just say they go way, 
 WAY above and beyond to help you find what you are looking for.

 Anyway I got it this past week and am blown away, I could not be more 
 psyched on this thing.   I built it up in an craze of excitement and have 
 been riding it more or less nonstop, it's a blast.   

 Here are some pictures from the local woods this past Sunday afternoon.   
 The bike rides fantastically, comfortable and natural feeling.   It is like 
 a wolf in sheep's clothing in a way-  in addition to the signature 
 rivendell good looks and regalness, it handles the trails like it was 
 nothing (except fun of course!)

 Just a lug collar at the ends of the drops and staches. Maybe at the clamp

 Hammered finish would be cool on Albas and Boscos, etc.
 Bullmeeses coul easily take lugs at the stem/bar junctions.
  
 The Alba Bling Bar

 Albastache Bling Bar, etc.
  
 You think they would sell?

A while back Grant mentioned steel bars as a possible new product.  Not 
sure if there were technical or other problems, but nothing appears to have 
come of it.
 
Lugged bars would be interesting.  Probably would need an open face stem 
though, unless I am overthinking things.
 
I am a bit of an outlier when it comes to the hammered look.  My first 
metal fenders were hammered.  I could never get used to how busy they 
were.  Fluted for me.  Maybe fluted bars would look cool ...

with Airglow in GA, and it was a good one .  They can do full restorations, 
including getting or making decals.  I didn't need that, but wanted some custom

Try an Albatross bar mounted upside down.  You will almost certainly need a

2013-06-26 Thread clayton
*Test ride* went great. I love these compared to the old mustache. I only 
rode about 40 minutes but I am very pleased. The reach is not as far as the 
old mustache and I like the way I can put my hands to avoid compression on 
the nerves in the center of the base of my palms. I rest the outer part of 
my palm, the fleshy part (under the little finger side) on the pull back 
part of the bars, and my fingers fall on the forward loop. Perfect. Before 
I rode them, I lucked out and found the sweet spot as far as the angle of 
the bars by just setting the bars at what looked the best and felt 
comfortable, which was parallel with the ground. It turned out that is the 
best position for my seat height. They feel like they will be just as good 
as the old mustache off road, and perfect for around town or touring. The 
pull back ends come back farther, shifting your weight off your hands. 
They are a world of difference compared to the old mustache. I don't have 
experience with the Albas, but I can say that being able to put my hands 
out in the loop, while braking, works much better (especially off road), 
than other upright bars I have used. I like them better than the Noodle, 
better than my Salsa Woodchippers (which IMHO is the worlds perfect drop 
bar), or flat, or pullback bars. For me, with a bum back and  Carpal tunnel 
(that has kept me off my bike...alot), the bars are as perfect as can be. I 
am very happy with them. I will write more later. I plan on riding today if 
it quits raining. I will also attempt to get photos of hands on the bar 
with a side shot to show body angle etc. So far, so good! Stay tuned for a 
followup of a longer test ride

 exactly the right length. Hopefully the bars and foam will ease my carpal

 higher. My one wish is that they were rounder where they return to the

 times with the same tape on various bars. The tape is getting a little 
 ratty, but  I have come to believe that leather tape is the most cost 
 effective tape out there, it you experiment with different bar set ups.

I have some time off after wrapping up a big project at work. I am planning

very scenic place and camp out for a couple of days, then ride back to 
Portland and hang out for a couple of days. I thought about riding to the

reach in a day with gears, to stay for a couple of days around Portland?

2013-06-26 Thread Deacon Patrick
Och, Manny! I'm sorry you didn't get to see the supermoon. Here is my 
arrogant input: Weather's purpose is to challenge our fortitude and reveal 
weaknesses in our clothing/gear. From that standpoint, you had a fantastic 
trip on at least one count, and if you know how you want to shore up your 
gear to make the world more pleasant when it isn't, then on both counts! 
Grin.

We're off on a family S24O to escape a town block party that would 
otherwise end me for a week. Unfortunately we do not have rain in our 
forecast (we're in a ten year drought). Sunny and 80's. Sigh. Grin.

So just about any 1 quill shorter than 190 would work actually. My 225

But I'm just looking for a Deluxe to keep it NITTO on the bike.
But any NITTO shorter would work, too.

I looked into the Rando bars  NITTO makes, and although they are a narrower

95mm.
 
I'll have to recheck. I know one of them is 110.

[RBW] Re: Need 6cm extension 190mm rise stem. Have one to sell/trade?

2013-06-26 Thread Garth

Or get a 80mm Dirt Drop stem . With it's high angle, I don't know the exact 
geometry figures but a high angled stem at a longer reach is shorter than 
the official number measured.  
See this chart it looks like it would be about a 65mm reach.

[RBW] USBR 35 is our next run

2013-06-26 Thread Kelly
Well after not being about to find a shuttle in New York State to get our 
crew back to the cars we moved our ride to the USBR 35.   So we'll be 
riding from the Indiana border to Sault Ste Marie Ontario. 
We found our shuttle back to our cars and actually have room for more 
people if you are interested.   

Just for informational and fun for your own planning this is the best site 
as far as route and resources.  Including KML files for your GPS. 
http://bicycletouringroutes.com/section.php?sectionid=5

I can highly recommend this ride as Dawn and I have ridden the West 
Shoreline a couple of times.  It's beautiful with plenty to do along the 
way.  (most days anyway)

We are heading out for two weeks  August 10th through the 24th when the 
shuttle picks us up.  So 4 days of play time added in to our 10 day ride 
time. 

Kelly

[RBW] Nitto R14 vs r15

2013-06-26 Thread Christopher Murray
Looking at getting either the Nitto R14 or R15 for my soon to be built 
Quickbeam. It is going to have a basket on it. I am leaning towards the R15 for 
the extra versatility- able to mount panniers- but was wondering if anyone had 
any thoughts or opinions. They both look like great racks. Is one of these the 
clear winner? 

Thanks!

Re: [RBW] Nitto R14 vs r15

2013-06-26 Thread Dan McNamara
The top of the two are pretty much the same but the R-15 does have the sides. 
They don't extend as far down as the full Nitto Campee rear or a Tubus but they 
are useful for panniers. They are perfect for the small Berthoud rear panniers. 
And useful if you have a load that drapes over the top.

2013-06-26 Thread bwphoto

Manny, You may not have gotten the moon shots or others you wanted, but you did 
capture a very comprehensive story by paying attention to what was right in 
front of your. This series of shots tells me a story of anticipation, struggle 
and disappointment, your ability to see the story and capture it is important 
because you are moving from snap shots that just capture a moment to being able 
see both the individual shots while being in the flow of the moment. 

While I understand your disappointment you have not only produced some to be 
proud of you've also taken a big step forward as a photographer.
