Re: [RBW] Are Velocity Atlas 650b rims discountinued?

[René Sterental]

I'm waiting for an Atlas 650b polished in 32. Velocity USA informed me they
are being polished and are expected by the end of the month. My LBS got a
more optimistic response as it's been on order for over two months now.

The polished ones are coming. Don't know about the regular non-polished
version though.

Re: [RBW] Re: New Hunqapillar frame geometry

[iamkeith]

Deacon Patrick, im sure you're probably right.  I like my 26" road bike for the 
exact reasons you mention.  So as my default, hybrid, spontaneous grab-and-go, 
do everything bike (which is what i've wanted this for), 650b might be good.  
Its the smoothing of rough surfaces that really appeals to me about the larger 
diameter wheel though - moreso than the momentum they carry.  Like you, i don't 
see a lot of pavement.  Also, i built up this too-big clem thinking that if a 
56 hunq ever came along (stock or custom), i could just swap components over...

[RBW] FS: 62cm Rivendell Simpleone $1200 shipped, and more (thinning the herd)

[John L]

FS: 62cm Rivendell Simpleone $1200 shipped

This was a Riv display model for a while.  I’ve made a few additions. 
 Setup with the following:

   1. 
   
   Soma Lauterwasser Bars and Fizik Microtex Wrap in Honey 
   2. 
   
   Paul Canti’s
   3. 
   
   Hub Area Rack & bags in tan
   4. 
   
   Wheels came with the bike, Open Sports w/ generic hubs have never given 
   me any problems.
   5. 
   
   Clement XPLOR MSO 700x40, plenty of life left
   6. 
   
   I’ll keep the pedals, you can keep the Cambium Saddle (it’s missing one 
   rivet, but doesn’t seem to make a difference to me). I think it's a Paul 
   setback seatpost.
   7. 
   
   FSA metropolis crank
   


Frame is in good condition; paint, not so much. Did a lot of commuting duty 
for me over last 5 years. Kept indoors but parked outside during day - 
plenty of scrapes and scratches on the frame to show that.  I love it but 
I’m making room for a baby and a garage remodel and so sacrifices need to 
be made.

I have other bikes on the block too, email me if you’re interested in pics 
and more:

-Size L Team Fat chance from ? 1984 with a custom supsension-corrected 
rigid fork and porteur rack that I’ve wanted to turn into a enduro all-road 
but probably shouldn’t. 

- 61(?) cm RB-1 from 1992 upgraded with a a Jtek/shimergo drivetrain and 
nice new pacenti rims and compass tires - $600 shipped.

Surly LHT deluxe 62cm F/F/HS + Bilenky soft case travel kit for $750 
shipped.

Bike Friday NWT 56cm frame w/ v-brakes, schmidt/luxos setup, alfine rear 
with Paul chain tensioner, drop bars w/ JTEK shifter. $1750. Shipped.


I'm in Arlington MA so if you want to have someone come by locally to 
inspect or whatever, let me know.

Re: [RBW] Re: New Hunqapillar frame geometry

[Deacon Patrick]

Och! I meant to add my conclusion: you are right to drool over the 
Hunqapillar. It is a spectacular go everywhere do everything bike. I 
delight that I can happily ride asphalt a long way and turn off and ride 
dirt and technical single track and while a dual suspension downhiller or 
road specialist might be faster/smoother through individual pieces, they 
can't do what I do nearly as fast and fun as I do. And if my experience on 
singletrack is any indication, most with dual suspension lack the trail 
skills on technical bits so they LCG bits that I ride with my Hunqapillar 
any way. Fancy technology can augment skill in small ways (and in racing 
that matters), but it's can't compensate for lack of skill. The Hunqapillar 
is all about fun and go wherever you want without worry that your bike 
can't do it. This makes it so day rides to single track include miles of 
asphalt and dirt road, and I needn't get driven to the trails (I don't 
drive), and it means bikepacking is easy: go wherever I want! Grin.

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] FS 53.5cm Atlantis

[bo richardson]

I don't need both my Ram and my Atlantis, so I am freeing up the Atlantis.
It is a top of the line build, including Paul Cantilever brakes, Phil bottom 
bracket, Schmidt hub, light,
Good compass tires, two nitto racks, stem, lamp bracket seat post I think, 
bars, metal fenders,TRP brake levers, spare front wheel,brooks, med saddleback. 
Toyo frame.

Price around 3700 as it sits with all the accoutrements including bag seat and 
pedals.
If I only could keep one bike it might well be this one.

Photos emailed gladly, since I can't post them easily off my iPad mini.
Buy this bike soon and I get to go cycle in Germany with my buddy Alex
And visit Volker's mom, and see Birgit's new baby.

Thanks,

Bo

Re: [RBW] Re: New Hunqapillar frame geometry

[Deacon Patrick]

Hey Keith,

I'm just going to address the 650b vs 29er on a Hunqapillar issue (I've no 
info on the new geometry). My basic thought is it doesn't matter 
significantly one way or the other. The plusses and minuses offset each 
other on varied terrain. Keep in mind I'm on a 62 Hunqa with 29er wheels. 
Maintain momentum easily over obstacles but starting, breaking, and long 
climbs all take a hit. Reverse that if it was 650B instead. I'm big, dumb, 
and stupid (enough to include dumb and stupid together and meaning the same 
thing to prove my point. Grin.), so the endurance thing isn't a big deal to 
me either way and I am just delighted to get to ride big, dumb, and stupid 
stuff! Grin. Grant's already sweated the details, and I have always found 
that trusting him is the perfect way to go in getting an amazing ride.

With abandon,
Patrick

Re: [RBW] Re: New Hunqapillar frame geometry

[iamkeith]

So it looks like it’s official!  Has anyone local to RBWHQ seen a sample 
frame or drawings for the new 56cm Hunq?!   

 

This has been my dream Riv for many years, but I’m having trouble 
visualizing it now that it has 650 wheels.   I guess I’m not blindly and 
ignorantly opposed to the idea like I was when the Bombadil came out but, 
having since experienced a 29+ mountain bike, I’m pretty sold on the idea 
that the biggest diameter possible is best for rough trails.

 

Given that wheel size, I’m guessing that the chainstays were NOT lengthened 
significantly?  Or maybe it was to make the head tube long enough to fit a 
diagatube?   I’d love to hear or see any inside or first-hand info that 
anybody has to share.  Good news no matter what…

[RBW] WTT: My 58 Atlantis for your 61 Atlantis

[Mark Reimer]

Hi friends,

I've been riding a 58cm Atlantis for the last two years and it's always 
felt just oh-so-close to being too small for me. When I visited Riv, they 
said I should definitely be on a 61cm. Well, last week I had a chance to 
ride one finally, and it felt much better. So I'd like to try and do a 
trade if possible.

Frame, Fork, and Ultegra headset for trade. No BB, nothing else at all.

My Atlantis is a 2006 frame. I believe I'm the second owner. I've had it 
for 2.5 years. It's in nice shape, but not in show-bike condition. Receives 
many compliments :) 

It has the all-too-common chain suck paint scarring on the right chain 
stay. I've been using a nut on the backside of the lower, right-side fork 
eyelette as the threads don't feel so good in there. It's been like that 
since I bought it. Riv suggested I could tap it for the next size bolt, but 
the nut works 100% for me so I've left it as is.

Inside of the frame has been treated with frame saver. NO dents, NO dings, 
NO rust. Ready for decades of miles and smiles. 

Ideally I'd like a direct trade, just pay for shipping. If someone has a 
bike that is in obviously superior condition, I'd entertain a 
trade-plus-cash offer, but my budget really isn't much more than shipping 
right now. 

Here's a few photos. Interest?

[RBW] Re: Odds of a Fully lugged tandem happening?

[Ed Felker]

We had a custom fully lugged road & randonneuring tandem built last year by 
Tom Kellogg/Spectrum. 

My wife Mary wrote a post about it: 
https://chasingmailboxes.com/2016/04/27/the-highs-and-lows-of-new-bike-day/

Here's a photo of the frameset by Tom; scroll forward to see more details. 
https://www.flickr.com/photos/spectrumcycles/20710233560

The price for the frameset and fork was about twice what Grant charges for 
a full custom Rivendell. It could go higher depending on the paint scheme.

I forwarded photos to Grant and he replied that it took many hours of labor 
to craft the lugs. For the same reason, Tom builds just one tandem a year. 

The $1,600 price for the tandem frameset Grant is selling now is a real 
bargain for what you are getting. It's not my kind of tandem but the value 
is quite good.

No question it can be built. This one has fillet brazed BB shells and 
bi-laminate lugs. Essentially fillet brazed tubing cut into lugs. You can 
see why it costs $12K instead of a more reasonable $5K for basically 
identical frame that is all fillet brazed. The question is if anyone has

[Philip Kim]

Made some changes to my Hunq, so selling off some of the stuff - most of it 
almost new. Pictures upon request, please message me off-list. All prices 
include shipping CONUS.

Paul Cantilever Brake Levers (short pull). These are polished silver, 
switched my Hunq to V-brakes so no longer need these. $100 shipped.

Nitto UI-12 quill stem. 31.8 clamp, 90 degree angle, 80mm reach. Had these 
as a holdover to use my Jones bars on the Hunq, until I got a custom stem 
made. Custom stem is now back from the plating shop, so no longer need this 
stem. $55 shipped.

Nitto Technomic, 26.0 clamp, 70mm - Got this for my BDB Pelican, but needed 
something shorter. Brand new - $38 shipped.

Also might be interested in selling Paul Canti pair (one touring canti, one 
neo retro canti) polished silver. Will also include the Hunter Cycles 
"Nugz" - cable barrel adjusters made specifically for Paul Cantis. $165 
shipped.
