David, I was thinking the exact thing! But figure by the time I buy, ship
to fork-bender person, pay that person to bend said fork, then get it
re-painted, I'm pushing pretty close to the $250-300 a new fork costs.

Looks like you could drop the saddle on your husband's Clem by 7cm and still 
have some seat post showing. So if your brother in law fits the Clem same as 
your husband then he should be ok on the 59cm Clementine. The seat tube 
shouldn't eat all the seat post.  Best hurry though, sale ends today.

25% off bikes My sister's husband is eyeing that 59 Clementine. He commutes 
to work daily, and I think the bike would be perfect for him. He is an 
attorney, and he carries two laptops and lots of documents, so he wanted a step 
through frame. He can't tip the bike to get his leg over the top, and he can't 
swing his leg with all the stuff packed into his basket. Anyway, he fits my

[RBW] Re: VO Constructeur Front Rack on a Ram - HELP

[Michael Hechmer]

Thanks to everyone for the helpful, supportive responses.  I think for now 
I have put aside the effort to mount this rack on this bike with these 
brakes.  I measured my frame and the 42cm stays from RBW should work 
perfectly with Mark's Rack.  The next time I have an order together I'll 
buy a pair.  I'll cut a wine cork and get a 35 mm bolt to join the fender 
and rack.  Which works better a chardoney or zinfandel cork?

I agree that if I were buying a frame or bike now I would insist on canti 
brakes and a mounting point under the crown.  I have one on the tandem and 
it makes fenders much easier.  But at 71 I think my new bike buying days 
are over.  I'll dance with the dolly with the holes in her stocking.

Happy New Year,
Michael

[RBW] Re: Glorius and Wilbury available now under the radar sales

[Ryan Fleming]

Yupfinally pulled the trigger on a custom mixte and had a fairly long 
chat with the boss today (of Rivendell) ...I had been expecting that the 
lugs would be like the Glorius/Wilbury, but there are other less ornate 
options. Don't get me wrong ,those are gorgeous lugs. I had thought to put 
moustache or Albastache bars but Grant  gently steered me away from those 
and suggested Boscos  or the new Moose bars. I allowed as how I like those 
bars on the Appaloosa...the Choco bars; actually I really like them. 

Point is for a custom, now the wait is not really that long...could have it 
by Spring. I was told , though that at some point they may raise their 
custom prices; I'm surprised they've stayed at $3500 for as long as they 
have...

I will probably have Riv build it, in spite of our tanking dollar. I really 
love it that Riv doesn't oversell you , tooI'm sorry, but I am not 
mechanically inclined so I'll put myself in the hands of Mark and Grant 
though I do have my pet part picks...Whoo-hooo. It'll be different from my

Apparently this has been an "off menu" option for years..it was mentioned 
on the Blug some time back. It's too much cash for my shallow pockets, but 
I'd love to have a red Wilbury like the one I rode at RBW HQ many years 
ago. The lugs are stunning!

According to Riv's chart in an old Atlantis flyer, if your PBH is 78 to 80 
cm, and saddle height 68 to 70, this should fit you.  The complete bike is 
HALF the price of a new F&F.

[RBW] Re: Hilsen or Atlantis

[dougP]

Erik:

If you're PBH is within the range for 2 sizes there will probably be enough 
adjustment for you to get comfortable.  I have a 58 cm Atlantis & according 
to the charts my PBH is in the range for either 56 or 58.  I've briefly 
ridden a 56 and could easily make that size work.  I've also ridden a 61 
and felt a bit stretched out.  Unless you have some unusual proportions 
you'll probably be fine.  The elves are pretty good at this stuff.

[RBW] Re: VO Constructeur Front Rack on a Ram - HELP

[Lungimsam]

I have had a similar experience, though the VO Rando rack worked on my Bleriot 
after bending the tang over the sp brake. I adjusted for tilt by bending the 
tang weld point iirc.

Racks made for sp brakes are few and involve bending tangs or using sliding 
tangs and adjustable struts like the Marks. Potential failure points if you 
don't stay on top of them and check for tightness periodically.

This is why any future bike I purchase I would like to be a canti brake bike so 
nothing but air is between tire and fork crown for easy and direct fender and 
rack-ability.

Plus I could then use a rack with all welded joints and attach directly to fork 
crown and braze ons. The sp brake racks all have either a tang to bend or 
adjustable pivot points which makes me a little uncomfortable about bolts 
loosening with time and failing. They are not optimal front racks for this 
reason in my mind. Though I do love the VO and M18 on my bikes.

Re: [RBW] Re: 25% off ANYTHING in Web Specials!!!

[Patrick Kelly]

In some video (don't remember which) Grant talks about tax
implications of having lots of inventory. It's pretty clear that the
riv strategy is to minimize inventory at end of year in order to
combat tax issues. So, yeah, if you wanna save $$ on buying riv stuff,
wait til the end of the year. And you save even more money if they
sell out before you actually purchase. But then you don't get what you
wanted. :)

I'll echo what Bill says about how long it takes to mount this rack, and I 
likewise found myself wishing for double eyelets, however I'm glad I 
persevered since I like how it turned out and I learned a few things about 
working with stainless steel and mounting racks that I'm glad to know now. 

Background: I mounted this rack to a 700c 1979 Trek 930 with a Mafac 
Competition centerpull brake. The clearances were tight--likely similar or 
tighter than your Ram along with a similar fork rake. One possible 
difference in our set-ups: I don't know how easy it is to disassemble the 
PAUL centerpulls. Near the end of the project I found it useful to take off 
the Mafac brake arms while keeping the brake's backing plate and brake 
bolts and nuts assembled. I also didn't plan on mounting fenders with this 
rack given the tight front and rear clearances. I'm thinking of converting 
this bike to 650b at some point and would try fenders then. 

Mounting the rack: I tried two different approaches or mounting locations. 
Most online photos show folks mounting the tang to the brake bolt in front 
of the crown. While the Mafac centerpulls should make this an easier 
mounting choice, I found it difficult to make consecutive, tight bends in 
the stainless steel tang. What happened was that I would make a strong bend 
with the bench vise and try to hold other bends and angles stable with 
C-Clamps, but they would inevitably lose their necessary shape and assume a 
lesser angle. This didn't work well enough for me to make this a viable 
option. You also need to do some rough measuring and cutting of the rack 
tangs before you can begin to really get any precise idea of fit and this 
tends to make you commit to a mounting point around the brake before you 
really know if it's viable or not. So I eventually chose to mount the rack 
as VO recommends (and as I would now recommend) with a daruma bolt under 
the fork crown. The supplied VO daruma bolt was too long for me, but the 
MAFAC daruma bolts that hold the brake pads to the arms worked for my 
application and might work for yours too. If you mount it this way, the 
factory bend is pretty accurate, but the tang is too long, so you need to 
cut it before you can begin to see where you should drill a hole for the 
daruma bolt to connect to the rack. Another option that I would try is to 
cut off the tang altogether and use the Surly rear rack upper mounting kit. 
Someone did this recently with the VO porteur rack and I was thinking you 
could mount the rack to the PAUL or MAFAC brake arm bolts. See tenth photo 
down: 
http://www.nolifelikethislife.com/fairdaleweekender-tylerscaife-weekenderporteur/

In my case I cut the brake mounting tang shorter than would be ideal, but 
it worked out in the end--thanks, no doubt, to the ease with which Mafacs 
disassemble. Anyway, here are some photos and additional tips. Oh, I would 
recommend getting the rack mounted before adding the fourth mounting 
challenge of the fender. All of these mounting points (and a very limited 
adjustability for those mounting points) make this a time-consuming 
project. 
 
Tips: use bolt cutters for cutting tangs; realize that multiple or 
consecutive bends and angles on stainless steel tang are very difficult to 
execute. I bought the steel Tubus rack mounting extension kit for dropout 
eyelets hoping this would compensate for bad angles of bottom eyelets at 
drop-outs. Didn't work for this application.  
Tools used: 
For bending tangs: bench vice and c-clamps and various pliers
For cutting stays and tang: bolt cutters
For drilling tang: center punch or spring loaded punch, series of drill 
bits--start with smaller bits and work up to 7/32 inch or 1/4 inch bit, 
 deburr with circular and flat files, cobalt tipped drill bits recommended 
for drilling stainless.

$3,500? I dunno -- wouldn't a similarly equipped Roadeo cost much the same?

It looks rather nice, to me, though I dislike non-aero brake levers.

Anyway, will any listers who participate please post photos?

[RBW] Re: PSA: Eroica California early registration

[Jeremy Till]

I'm signed up!  The pictures from last year looked so fun that I actually 
ended buying a cool old bike in need of some work specifically so I could 
do it this year.  Here's the machine, a Medici Pro Strada: 

https://flic.kr/p/whPd9H

While I won't be riding a Riv, my resto-mod will definitely have some 
riv-ish elements.  I'll be replacing the bent cinelli bars + stem with a 
noodle + technomic, and the cracked campy cranks with some period-correct 
(if not country of origin correct) Sugino 110bcd cranks I have in the bin. 
That way, I can run slightly more reasonable gearing to get this flatlander 
up the hills around Paso Robles.  I will probably end up selling it after 
the ride; while it's an awesome old bike, I can't really afford to maintain 
another bike.  

A good friend will be doing it with me on his super sweet Della Santa: 

https://flic.kr/p/reBPDZ

Hope to see many of you there!

[RBW] Re: VO Constructeur Front Rack on a Ram - HELP

[Michael Hechmer]

The biggest problem seems to be that as I move the rack forward the nose 
sinks downward as it pivots on the dropouts.  Going over the top helped me 
get it level but left me too close to the brake itself.

[RBW] Re: VO Constructeur Front Rack on a Ram - HELP

[Michael Hechmer]

Hmmm, yes they did and the rack looks level, although it appears to be 
angled forward as it leaves the drop out.  They were also working with 
canti brakes.  It seems to me that there are lots of front racks built for 
cantis but no really great rack for cp or sp brakes.  It's too bad Grant 
left mid fork braze-ons off the Ram.  I know he tried to discourage people 
from using the Ram as a tourer.  Peter White once told me that he talked GP 
into adding brazeons for the rear rack.  

I just reinstalled the Mark's rack and after I get the fender bak on I'll 
look into the longer stays and using the adjusting bolt.  Thanks for those 
ideas.

[RBW] Re: VO Constructeur Front Rack on a Ram - HELP

[Bill Lindsay]

I installed the Velo Orange Constructor front rack on a 700C bike with 
metal fenders and centerpulls.  Like yours, my bike had only the lower 
eyelets.  Like yours, my bike had not-very-much fork rake.  Like you, I 
cursed and complained, because it was a massive pain.  Like you, I 
concluded that the eyelets on top of the fork tips would be critical to get 
the rack level.  Since mine has a basket mounted on it all the time, I 
decided that it's OK for it not to be level.  If I wanted to install a rack 
of that type again, I wouldn't begin unless I had the upper eyelets.  

The much more expensive Nitto 20F is made to reach down to the lower 
eyelets, which is nice.  I have that on a different bike with centerpulls, 
but you still need the mid fork braze ons for the secondary struts.

[RBW] Re: VO Constructeur Front Rack on a Ram - HELP

[ted]

Wow Michael, that sounds really aggravating.
The Ram being an older, smaller clearance model you have Racer M center 
pulls not the long reach Racer ones right?
If the VO rack interferes with adjusting the brakes when the rack is flat, 
seems like you have to sacrifice one or the other.
A Flea Bay sourced Mafac racer might work for you. 
As Brian points out really long rack struts might let you eliminate the p 
clamps with the Mark's rack, and there are ways to mount a fender to one. 
You can drill a new hole through the tang mounting plate right behind the 
cross bar and use a bolt spacer combination there. That might get you close 
to the highest point on the fender. Using an L bracket from the front tab 
is another option.

Re: [RBW] PSA: Eroica California early registration

This sort of thing tears at me; on the one hand it sounds fun, but on the other 
hand, do I really need another reason/excuse to ride!? Or more significantly 
maintain another bike!? Might be fun for people who have some old metal hanging 
are & need an excuse to air it out & reminisce with other folks who have fond 
selective memories of the "good ole'd days"
Actually,  I have one bike that might qualify with minimal downgrading, luckily 
I don't live anywhere near enough to justify going. 
Still, good luck to those who go, it will be interesting & fun regardless.

[RBW] VO Constructeur Front Rack on a Ram - HELP

[Michael Hechmer]

I bought shiny new fenders and this rack as upgrades for my Ram.  I confess 
I am a victim of "shiny things syndrome."  But I have just about come to 
the conclusion that this rack cannot be mounted on this bike, at least not 
with my Paul's Racer M brakes and maybe not any CP brake.  If you have 
succeeded let me know how.

I started by trying to mount the fender and rack simultaneously, since they 
need to integrate with one another.  This proved impossible.  I also found 
that a heavy pair of pliers and small vice grip were insufficient to bend 
the rack tang to a needed position.  I went to plan B.  I installed the 
front fender, which proved remarkably easy, and then went to the hardware 
store and spent $22 on a large, flat vice grip designed for metal work. 
Then I removed the fenders and began again on the rack, first trying to 
mount it to the daruma I had added for the fenders.

It proved very difficult to mount the tang and the dropouts simultaneously. 
 I concluded that there was no way I could bend the tang to clear the 
brakes and get the rack level at the same time.  I started over, this time 
intending to come over the top of the brake and bolt it into the hole in 
the fork crown. After a great deal of struggle, including drilling an extra 
hole in the tang and adjusting the bend a dozen times, I finally got it all 
put together, only to discover two new problems.  In order to get the rack 
level I was so close to the front of the brake that it was almost 
impossible to get the brake between the rack and the now horseshoe shaped 
tang; and the tang pinched against the front of the headset.  Even if more 
meticulous bending solved that problem without knocking the rack out of 
level, there was precious little room to fit the 15 mm wrench and the allen 
wrench necessary to adjust Paul's brakes.  Probably canti brakes or thinner 
CPs, like the Mafac would fit easier.

Looking again at the picture on the VO website I saw something I had 
suspected from the beginning.  The rack is designed to mount to an upper, 
forward facing dropout not the rear downward facing style which the Ram 
has.  The rear position makes it much harder to get the rack level and 
forward of the CP brake.

Unless someone has some reasonable solution I am about ready to reinstall 
the Mark's Mini rack.  That requires P clamps, which I don't like and 
doesn't offer an attachment point for the front of the fender.  However I 
ran Honjos like this for seven years without a problem, so wouldn't expect 
one with this fender either.

Would then consider selling this rack to someone who has a bike with cantis 
and front dropout.

Michael

Campy does offer some silver groups, not all of them, but the lower
lines (think veloce, athena...)   The rest of the spec on that bike is
just standard DiaCompe fair.  (Think Riv Silver)

That specific eroica bike is just a veloce drivetrain with downtube

Re: [RBW] PSA: Eroica California early registration

[Peter Adler]

Or rattrap pedals with no clips/straps at all, for that matter. Pretty much 
anything in the MKS Sylvan line 
 should be OK; cheap, too.

The word I've gotten in the past from the course organizer is that they're 
taking a generous interpretation of the rules, at least until they reach 
the point that they're turning riders away. I understand that Cino Heroica 
in Montana is tightening up their rules, but they've gotten up to their cap 
on riders, so they can afford to pull riders who aren't honoring those 
rules. I've heard similar stories from l'Eroica in Tuscany; riders starting 
the course with clipped shoes/pedals, getting out of town, swapping over to 
cleated shoes/pedals, getting caught by course judges and pulled off the 
course. To me, that seems like a lot of effort and expense to evade the 
rules of a recreational activity; if you don't agree with the rules, why do 
you want to participate?

The story retold several times from the last Eroica CA was that some guy on 
an AHH did the long route, at least up to the point where he was run down 
by a reckless teenage driver. As I read the story, the sag wagon patched 
him up, and he finished the course. If anybody knows who that guy was, it 
might be worthwhile to check and see how his frameset was built up.

Of course, if someone was really interested in flouting the rules to make 
some abstract ideological point, you could point to this guy 

:



His ride (and attire) pretty much violate every rule on the books, but 
there he is with a ride tag. I haven't confronted the course organizer 
about this, because he was pretty stressed out after the weekend; playing 
gotcha with a photo felt unsportsmanlike. I assume this rider was with the 
Bianchi organization. And since Bianchi is an Erioca sponsor, I guess they 
get to ride with whatever they happened to bring along, even if it spits in 
the face of the spirit of the event. Presumably, the next Bianchi employee 
who rides will be on one of Bianchi's new lugged steel "look! it meets the 
Eroica rules! " 
bikes or framesets 
.

If you look at the Eroica CA albums linked from the ClassicRendezvous 
 page, you'll get an idea of the bikes 
that have already been permitted to ride Eroica CA - a pretty wide range. 
That's no guarantee that all such bikes will always be permitted to ride; 
but until there's an officially scheduled pre-ride inspection, just showing 
up brifterless with a lugged frame and platform pedals is likely to pass 
muster.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hilsen or Atlantis

[Abcyclehank]

Erik,
You know exactly what the Atlantis did great and the only way to compare and 
know firsthand is to give the AHH a go.  Maybe the best of both will play out 
and the authorities can help recover your beloved Atlantis and you will be 
blessed with both.
Regardless sorry for your physical loss, but the memories will rest with you 
eternally. Time for new memories and another bond to be developed.
I have both a 68cm Atlantis and a 73cm custom Nobilette that parallels an AHH.  
But at 6'7" 240lbs it is hard to infer which is best for you from my point of 
view.

Sincerely,
Ryan Hankinson
