Re: [RBW] Re: Ram versus Roadeo; trade?

2014-07-10 Thread Patrick Moore
The perhaps unobtainable ideal would be the lightest possible Rivendell
road bike, but I'd accept a bit of weight for the signature feel and
handling which is the principal goal. My objection, such as it is, to the
Ram is not so much the weight (IIRC, built but not accessorized it weighs
26 lb with rack, dynamo lighting, compared to ~23 for the errand custom
similarly equipped -- but that is fixed, of course) but that the handling
is a wee bit staider than ideal -- but ideal here is rather nebulous.

My brother ought to be bringing the old Bertin (60 X 57 or so) out with
him, and perhaps that's the most reasonable option. He says it handles very
well, and I know the frameset is quite light. But it's not a Rivendell,
alas.

Move along there. Bertin (if I buy it) build: my idea at the moment is a
1X5 or perhaps a S3X with freewheel -- keep it very simple (and light) as
befits a dedicated fw gofast. Or better yet, one of those (forget who makes
them) 120 mm OL spaced cassette hubs for a 1X7.

I've got the build parts: frame comes with headset; plenty of TA Pro 5 Vis
cranksets and rings, cogs, front hubs, a 7400 rd, very nice old 600 single
pivots, 7400 DA levers, KEO Maxes, shift lever, original issue Flite. Will
need bb, rims, tires, stem and bar ... oh dear, another build project.

We'll see. If I do buy a frame, of any kind, it will be to wait for good
deals and gather parts slowly and cheaply. It's not as if I don't have
enough bikes to ride as it is.

Re: [RBW] Re: Homer's first proper, if not long, ride

2014-07-10 Thread Patrick Moore
I love the 44 cm B 135s on my Fargo, except for the flats position, which
the bar's upsweep makes awkward. But the ramps are wonderful. I run the
even nicer Maes Parallel on two Riv road bikes. I have Noodles on the Ram.

I swapped my too-wide 46 cm Noodles for 42s and installed a stem 1 cm
longer than for my Maes Parallels to give the same reach despite the
Noodle's sweepback. I must say that, so set up, the Noodles give the Maeses
a good run for the money, and I love the Maeses. I can run the Noodle's
tops a wee bit higher because of the deeper drop (140 versus 125 mm). True,
the ramps aren't quite as nice and long as with the Maeses or the B135, but
while I do prefer the Maes Parallel for road riding, the narrower Noodle so
set up runs a very close second and I have no plans to swap it out.

Beautiful bike and beautiful sceneries!
Sky-blue frame and purple bartapes go really well together.

I have used Noodles and Nitto Randos on my Bike Friday. I prefer Noodles.
Bike Friday and Riv bikes are both designed to be able to put handlebars 
high, so I find upward sweep of Rando bars to be unnecessary.
Noodle's backsweep makes me comfortable.

Thanks, Takashi and Patrick, for your thoughts. One of my discomforts with 
Noodles is the feeling, for the first couple miles, that my hands are 
sliding down and out on the flats. On the other hand, the ramps on the VO 
rando bars might be *too* long. The B 135 or Grand Bois rando models are 
both worth consideration at some point.

Re: [RBW] Homer's first proper, if not long, ride

2014-07-10 Thread Jim Bronson
The VO Rando bars are a completely different type of bar than the Noodle.
I bought a pair of the VO and hated them because I thought they were way
too narrow on top for me.  For them to work for me they would need to be 46
or 48cm wide where the levers mount and maybe 52 or 54 at the drops.  But
the VO I bought seem to be 48 where the barcons mount and that is just way
too narrow on the hoods for my (skeletal) frame.

Not that they're bad, just my preference and body type, obviously your
preference is different.

I think Nitto makes some sort of Rando bar also, not sure what the model
number is though.

 Mounted the Mark's Rack with upside-down EDelux yesterday. Took advantage
 this morning of beautiful weather for twenty-some miles of rolling Iowa for
 Homer's first real ride. I must admit I wore padded shorts. Brooks, my
 English butler (see what I did there?), is simply not adequately accustomed
 to my posterior yet.

 The bike lives up to the hype. It is ride is smooth, responsive, easy
 uphill and into the wind. It handles superbly in gravel, even fresh
 post-flooding dumps of dusty white boulders (thanks Johnson County!). The
 Marathon Supremes (700C x 40  mm nominal; about 37 mm right now) are
 characteristically Schwalbe-ish, but at 40-45 psi are cushy enough for the
 time being. There is plenty of clearance for 40 mm tires, even with
 fenders, and more without.

 I remain unsure about Noodles, though. I'm used to narrower bars with a
 rando bend (the LHT has the VO Chris's Rando Bar) and a longer ramp. Not
 that the Noodles are uncomfortable, but when I hopped on the LHT later to
 head into the office, the rando ramps felt downright luxurious in
 comparison. Time will tell. I'm interested in reading comments from those
 who might have used Noodles then switched to a rando bar, or vice versa, or
 have one of each on different bikes.

 Pictures show that Iowa is not flat. And that we do indeed have cattle
 (and hogs, too, but I can't post odors):

Re: [RBW] Re: Ram versus Roadeo; trade?

2014-07-10 Thread Shoji Takahashi
I think the number of eyelets and braze ons are limited on the Roadeos 
because it is (1) purpose built as go fast and (2) weight!

I'm guessing that the weight issue was an important target for Grant/Riv: 
sub-20# steel bike. 

A full complement of frame braze ons can add a lot of weight (relatively 
speaking) to a light frame. Same goes for down tube shifter mounts (which 
were purposefully left off in order to use certain type of butted 
downtube). And the use of threadless stem compared to quill. 

The chain stay fender mount: yes, it is not optimal (from a fender 
installation point), but a long-ish spacer solves that problem. IIRC, the 
bottom bracket shell is not a Riv-bottom bracket. A different one was 
selected to use a particular seat tube. (I could just be making this up, so 
anyone with real info please speak up.)

Anyway: I'm pretty sure this isn't the first Roadeo having added braze ons. 
IIRC, someone had seat stay rack mount added, and Grant/Riv has written 
about putting downtube shifter mounts on Roadeos. If you're in the market 
for it, you should have that conversation with them-- I think they're quite 
accommodating (but there might be another bike that's better suited for 
your intended purpose). 

Happy riding!
Shoji

Jim,

I saw a pair of Nitto rando bars on an old Trek the other day, and I'd say 
the VO bars are almost a different kind of bar than the Nitto, too. As you 
say, the tops are narrow—a centimeter or so narrower than Grand Bois, if my 
take on the measurements is correct—and the ramps and reach are extra long. 
The flare is wider, too. The flare and the long drop extensions I like; the 
reach, not as much as I get older.
 

 I think Nitto makes some sort of Rando bar also, not sure what the model 
 number is though.


I believe—though Patrick  (de Nouvelle Mexique, pas le diacre) will know 
better—that the Nitto rando bar is the B 135.

How thick are they?  I like wearing knickers as they prevent uncomfortable 
knee sunburn.  The problem I've had with the SF made shorts and tops is 
they do not account for the humid heat we get here in the Midwest.  
Aero-Tech are lighter weight but made to sell for much less with some 
sub-optimal design choices (ie - the inside cinch band at the bottom as 
opposed to velcro cinch on the outside as on the Beta - and larger pockets 
allowing cell phone to move around while riding).

[RBW] knicker recommendations?

2014-07-10 Thread hsmitham
Mike,

I wear the Prana Knickers.  Their designed for rock climbing but are hands down 
the best ones i've ever worn. Water repellent, stretch fabric, great draw cord, 
plenty of pockets and they dry fast. The bonus is they look great.

Re: [RBW] The Chicken

2014-07-10 Thread Chris Chen
He's Portland's Coconut now.

But regarding the bike, it rides like a dream. The fork geometry is
entirely different than the Hilsen, of course, and it's a bit slower, but
hauling firewood, and carrying a truing stand last night to a friend's
house, the handling was smooth and confident. Goes into a turn wonderfully.

About 12 lbs on the front end on a ramble out the Crown Zellerbach trail
last weekend, no problems at all:

And with the battering ram, I mean, truing stand:

 drops.  But the VO I bought seem to be 48 where the barcons mount and that
 is just way too narrow on the hoods for my (skeletal) frame.


 Jim,

 I saw a pair of Nitto rando bars on an old Trek the other day, and I'd say
 the VO bars are almost a different kind of bar than the Nitto, too. As you
 say, the tops are narrow—a centimeter or so narrower than Grand Bois, if my
 take on the measurements is correct—and the ramps and reach are extra long.
 The flare is wider, too. The flare and the long drop extensions I like; the
 reach, not as much as I get older.


 I think Nitto makes some sort of Rando bar also, not sure what the
 model number is though.


 I believe—though Patrick  (de Nouvelle Mexique, pas le diacre) will know
 better—that the Nitto rando bar is the B 135.

Re: [RBW] Re: knicker recommendations?

2014-07-10 Thread Patrick Moore
The BF Classic knickers are indeed fine looking pants, but I've had a
pair wear through the seat very quickly. Also, I find them cut a little low
in the rise -- I like cycling pants that come up high -- like old man
pants. That way they don't leave a gap at the back when you are in the
hooks.

OTOH, the BF hemp knickers that I have are very comfortable and, so far,
durable. Not nearly as natty, though.

I've said this before, but it bears repeating: a good seamster/seamstress
can turn a pair of good, Goodwill, wool trousers into knickers very easily.
I've done it myself with crude but effective results.

Choose fabric with a dense weave and with some weight to it; not tropical
wool. My favorite (which I foolishly gave away) was a tightly woven, medium
weight tan wool gabardine that would not wrinkle (another sign of good
fabric) and which I simply amputated, hemmed, and added velcro to it.

but the clerk said, No problem. They should just be getting places today.

Philip,

Nothing yet.  I think the pony express is still racing across the Texas 
prairie.  Shoji's delivery suggests the route to Boston is not as hot and hard 
on the horses.

[RBW] Ride to the Entmoot (from Sonoma County?)

2014-07-10 Thread Philip Williamson
I was planning to drive down with all manner of stuff (alternate wheels, 
box of tee shirts, new 15 lb tent), but now am planning to ride from Santa 
Rosa, and try to poach the done-but-not-open 101 San Antonio Rd - Novato 
path. 

Is anyone else up for riding to China Camp from the North on Saturday?

I have had a freewheel-equipped S3X, generator hub, and semi-knobbies on

[RBW] Re: knicker recommendations?

2014-07-10 Thread Mike Schiller
I've had a tough time finding kickers too,  that fit well and are not too 
baggy.  The Riv's are too baggy and don't stretch, the Swerves too tight 
for my mesomorphic frame.  My favorites are the Portland Cyclewear ones ( 
no longer made) and the Zoic Reign's.  Comfortable through the hips and 
trim at the calf.   The Zoic's are too lightweight though so I'd like to 
find something heavier . I've tried the climbing ones (Prana,Outdoor 
Research/RAB) but they are all too baggy at the calf.  I prefer the fit of 
the  cycling specific ones.

I may order a pair of the Beta's and see how they fit. They are an inch 
shorter ( @19)  than the ones I have so they may be a touch short. The 
Aerotech ones are 17 long , too short for me at ~6ft.

2014-07-10 Thread Robert Kirkpatrick
Hey gang,

Thanks all for the well wishes and the kind words.  The first week of the tour 
has been top drawer - I do love Washington State, why I live here after all. 
Anyway am about to hit the mountains and will be more off the grid for those 
watching the blog and photos but will update as I'm able.

Also I just wanted to wish everyone going to the Entmoot the best of times.  
Raise a glass to Rivendell and it's fine employees for me.  Wish I could be 
there but one can't do everything. I know that at least I'll be riding!

Take care,
Robert

Re: [RBW] How many of your bikes will take the HAR?

2014-07-10 Thread Bill Lindsay
For what it's worth, my Gunnar with the HAR installed, still fit on my 
car's roof rack this morning, using a QR style mount on the fork tips. 
 Most lowrider racks prevent you from putting your bike on that type of 
roof-rack mount.

 Tying this HAR thread with the Enmoot bike thread.  

 IF I was able to go to the Entmoot, I'd be tempted to bring my 
 double-double, since so many of you will be on your Quickbeams.  My 
 double-double has double fork tip eyelets and mid fork braze-ons, so I went 
 ahead and set it up with my HAR.  Of course I need to bag-match and wait 
 for the olive HAR panniers, but this is going to be a sweet stripped down 
 S24O setup.  I used the trick of running a bolt from the inside of the 
 eyelet and a nylock nut holding the rack onto that post from the outside

 Both my Atlantis and Betty Foy have double eyelets but I did call before

 to arrive on the 10th so I’ll find out for sure then.


 On Tue, Jul 8, 2014 at 1:07 PM, Bill Lindsay tape...@gmail.com wrote:

 The Hub Area Rack fits best on an eyelet above the fork tip and on 
 mid-fork braze ons.  Will it fit your bike? 

 Most current Riv models have fork tips with double eyelets.  If you buy 
 a brand new A Homer Hilsen, Hunqapillar, Cheviut, Hillborne, or Atlantis, 
 you are going to get double eyelet fork tips.  If you buy a Roadeo or a 
 San 
 Marcos, you'll get single eyelets.  

 I have a Hub Area Rack, have had it for a while.  It was an early 
 prototype that I talked them into letting me buy.  For what it's worth, I 
 paid a fair bit more for mine that you guys are paying now, but I share 
 that as a reason for you to be happy, not as a reason for me to be sad. 
  Anyhow, now that there are bags for it, I've pulled it back out.  Only 
 now 
 do I realize that my old (2009) Hillborne does not have the upper eyelets 
 and my old (2010) Hilsen also doesn't have them.  Only my Bombadil and my 
 Gunnar doublespeed has upper eyelets and mid fork braze ons.  I wish I 
 could snap my fingers and have upper eyelets appear on my Hilsen and my 
 Hillborne so I could run this rack on those bikes as well.  Oh well.  

 Anyhow, as a workaround, it looks like it would be possible to run the 
 HAR on the lower eyelets, but it might have a tilt to it.  Not the end of 
 the world but not ideal.

[RBW] [RBWJAMBO] special event! harl-wrapping w/ stonehog

2014-07-10 Thread Joe Bunik
Exciting news folks,

Seattle-ite of good taste, Mr. Stonehog (aka Brian Hanson) will be
attending this weekend and I've persuaded him to demo harlequin
wrapping skills to the unwashed masses.

No schedule yet but Friday afternoon @RBW and maybe again Sunday
sometime @China Camp were suggested.

I know I have a few bars needing the Mr. Hog treatment! ;-)

 Most current Riv models have fork tips with double eyelets.  If you
 buy a brand new A Homer Hilsen, Hunqapillar, Cheviut, Hillborne, or
 Atlantis, you are going to get double eyelet fork tips.  If you buy a
 Roadeo or a San Marcos, you'll get single eyelets.

 I have a Hub Area Rack, have had it for a while.  It was an early
 prototype that I talked them into letting me buy.  For what it's worth, I
 paid a fair bit more for mine that you guys are paying now, but I share
 that as a reason for you to be happy, not as a reason for me to be sad.
  Anyhow, now that there are bags for it, I've pulled it back out.  Only 
 now
 do I realize that my old (2009) Hillborne does not have the upper eyelets
 and my old (2010) Hilsen also doesn't have them.  Only my Bombadil and my
 Gunnar doublespeed has upper eyelets and mid fork braze ons.  I wish I
 could snap my fingers and have upper eyelets appear on my Hilsen and my
 Hillborne so I could run this rack on those bikes as well.  Oh well.

 Anyhow, as a workaround, it looks like it would be possible to run the
 HAR on the lower eyelets, but it might have a tilt to it.  Not the end of
 the world but not ideal.

 they do not account for the humid heat we get here in the Midwest.  
 Aero-Tech are lighter weight but made to sell for much less with some 
 sub-optimal design choices (ie - the inside cinch band at the bottom as

UPS not-so Surepost and FedEx not-so Smartpost are like the worst of both 
services .  They both use UPS/FedEx repsectively, but sometimes the routing 
gets messed up, which is one major cause of delays. Also, it gets lowest 
priority. And since the PO has final delivery, it's always going to add at 
*least* one day extra over Ground.  I've had Smartpost packages from the 
REI warehouse in PA to my home 100 miles a way take a week. I've told REI 
what I thought of these services .  .. lol.  With regular UPS packages take 
2 days. 

My take .  . .  . every retailer BE upfront of all methods of shipping and 
the extra time involved.  Just because someone offers free shipping, does 
not mean I the consumer must just be thankful and put up with it . Free 
shipping is never truly free, costs are built into the pricing of 
everything in total and having a certain minimum to qualify is a way to 
entice a customer to spend more than they had intended, but are lured by 
the I qualify ! and free carrots !  Oh. . the retail games !!  It's a 
psychological game :)  All of it !

 what I thought of these services .  .. lol.  With regular UPS packages take
 2 days.

 My take .  . .  . every retailer BE upfront of all methods of shipping and
 the extra time involved.  Just because someone offers free shipping, does
 not mean I the consumer must just be thankful and put up with it . Free
 shipping is never truly free, costs are built into the pricing of
 everything in total and having a certain minimum to qualify is a way to
 entice a customer to spend more than they had intended, but are lured by
 the I qualify ! and free carrots !  Oh. . the retail games !!  It's a
 psychological game :)  All of it !

[RBW] Re: knicker recommendations?

2014-07-10 Thread Dave Brandt
I have a pair of twin 6 size 33 if your interested and in the Bay Area you can 
have them. I think I wore them once. The knicker thing just wasn't for me. If 
they're a little big just get them taken in, I think they were around $100 new. 
I would rather see someone use them.

[RBW] Re: fs: Rivendell Saluki 58cm - custom color + SS coupled!

2014-07-10 Thread Bill
As a two time Saluki owner I am baffled as to why this beauty has not been 
snatched up.  At $1400 he's giving it away.  The velvet ride of GB Hetres 
and SS couplers so you can easily take it anywhere - what's not to love? 
 And a 58 puts it under the tall part of the bell curve for sizing. 
 Whoever buys it, builds it up and rides it will be doing some serious 
head-scratching wondering why someone else didn't beat him/her to the sale. 
 Hang tough, Eric.  It's a beauty and it will sell.  Full disclosure:  I 
don't know Eric but I do know that Salukis are fantastic bikes.

[RBW] Re: Homer's first proper, if not long, ride

2014-07-10 Thread Call Me Jay
Awesome.  My new 650b Homer is to arrive on Thursday.  I'll post a ride 
report as well.

On Wednesday, July 9, 2014 9:31:53 PM UTC-4, Bob Cook wrote:

 Mounted the Mark's Rack with upside-down EDelux yesterday. Took advantage 
 this morning of beautiful weather for twenty-some miles of rolling Iowa for 
 Homer's first real ride. I must admit I wore padded shorts. Brooks, my 
 English butler (see what I did there?), is simply not adequately accustomed 
 to my posterior yet.

 The bike lives up to the hype. It is ride is smooth, responsive, easy 
 uphill and into the wind. It handles superbly in gravel, even fresh 
 post-flooding dumps of dusty white boulders (thanks Johnson County!). The 
 Marathon Supremes (700C x 40  mm nominal; about 37 mm right now) are 
 characteristically Schwalbe-ish, but at 40-45 psi are cushy enough for the 
 time being. There is plenty of clearance for 40 mm tires, even with 
 fenders, and more without.

 I remain unsure about Noodles, though. I'm used to narrower bars with a 
 rando bend (the LHT has the VO Chris's Rando Bar) and a longer ramp. Not 
 that the Noodles are uncomfortable, but when I hopped on the LHT later to 
 head into the office, the rando ramps felt downright luxurious in 
 comparison. Time will tell. I'm interested in reading comments from those 
 who might have used Noodles then switched to a rando bar, or vice versa, or 
 have one of each on different bikes.

 Pictures show that Iowa is not flat. And that we do indeed have cattle 
 (and hogs, too, but I can't post odors):

Might a Riv employee bring a couple of boxes of cloth tape for sale to make the

[RBW] FS: NEW Musa Pants - Butternut/Olive - Medium

2014-07-10 Thread DS
I just bought these for $68 on 6/15 but decided to go with the black ones 
instead. Washed, but never worn other than around the house for a few 
minutes. I'm flexible on price, would rather them go to someone who will 
use them rather than sit unused in a drawer. $45? Let me know if interested 
and we can work it out. Can ship or bring to Entmoot.
