[RBW] Re: PSA: VP Pedals on sale

[Hugh Smitham]

Been there done that, meaning this type of discussion has popped up before 
and am glad to see a huge brouhaha hasn't developed. Personally Glen thanks 
for the heads up I bought two pair a silver pair for my A. Homer a bike 
which I paid Riv the full freight and a black pair of VP-001 for my New 
Bantam Adventure bike. Free shipping and both cost less than a single pair 
from Riv which I just noticed they've lowered from the usual $80 to $68. 

For the record I don't shop at Walmart, try and shop locally as best I can. 
Also for the current build I'm doing most of the parts wouldn't even be 
available at a LBS. And the one's I've gone to have a shitty attitude. 
Rivendell does have a great attitude but on some things the markup is too 
much. My wife is in retail and all the little one's are hurting.

I will buy from Riv in the near future.

[RBW] Re: New tires, perhaps?

[dougP]

That one was "worn out" quite a while ago, actually.  While it's satisfying 
to eke out that last mile, tires worn down to the casing become very easy 
to flat, and depending on the situation potentially dangerous. Replacing 
before you've squeezed out the last mile can be done at home at your 
convenience.  Even spendy treads like Compass beat the cost & hassle of a 
visit to the ER should a tire flat at the wrong moment. 

Sorry to be such a downer about this but there is a counterpoint to the 
"you done good" side of wearing out tires.

Re: [RBW] Re: New tires, perhaps?

Wearing out a tire to the casing should be worn like a badge of courage. 
 RESPECT.  I'm proud of you, and glad it didn't fail far from home.  Most 
Betty Foy owners don't accomplish that.  Softies like me who have WAY too 
many bikes rarely accomplish that, either.

I think the shorter shorts are a good idea, but ugh... I've never liked 
mesh pockets for shorts, they invariably rip or tear and wear out long 
before fabric pockets do. I'm tempted, but have to factor in some sewing 
machine time to replace the pockets.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell tandem builds

[Julian Westerhout]

Jim, 

Like Bill, I will likely build ours up as a Clem-istic tandem. 
Velocity/Rich wheelset with generator hub. Silver cranks. V-brakes (I'd 
actually prefer cantilevers, but the way the rear seat cluster is built 
looks like it will preclude that without a lot of bodging). Suntour ratchet 
thumbshifter, low gears. It will have fenders -- we'll use it both as a 
town bike and for riding gravel trails in WI and MO (and possibly 
elsewhere). We'll have a front rack -- either a Gamoh or a Nitto/Wald combo 
for a shopsack. 

I'm expecting that soon Riv will reveal some possible build package 
options.

Re: [RBW] Re: 2010 Wisconsin built Hillborne

[drew]

My wife's orange canti hillborne's paint finish is certainly lesser quality 
than my blue side pull Taiwan hillborne. I didn't know any of the sams were 
made at Waterford until today, and I'm not sure if hers is one of those. But 
it's maybe possible that Taiwan paint holds up better?

Re: [RBW] Re: 2010 Wisconsin built Hillborne

[James Warren]

I owned an orange one with sidepulls. It was made in Taiwan.

The workmanship from Taiwan was excellent, by the way. On both the orange 
Hillborne I used to have and the blue one I have now.

But as far as the canti ones are concerned and where they were made, I can't 
say with certainty that none of those were made in Taiwan. I know the 64's were 
not.

[RBW] New tires, perhaps?

[panog]

Well, you got your fair use out of this tire! In a pinch a tire boot made out 
of a folded dollar bill may be enough to take you home so you avoid the 
walking. When you replace the tire consider cutting off a 4" long section, 
minus the beads, to carry in your repair pack as a tire boot for future use, 
just in case.

Re: [RBW] Re: 2010 Wisconsin built Hillborne

James,

I'm not sure about this, i have a canti-orange from this era and i feel 
like the fit and finish are not waterford--or what i would expect from 
waterford, paint in particular.

Also i don't remember the oranges ever coming in sidepull.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell tandem builds

[Bill Lindsay]

I'm thinking about it as a Clementine/Clem Smith for two.  It'll have Bosco 
bars, at least initially.  It will have Silver cranks.  It will have 
Rich-built wheels with a dyno front hub and a disc-capable rear.  It'll 
have V-brakes, probably some vintage parallelogram style Shimano XT ones 
that I have on hand.  I'll use thumbshifters of some kind and probably run 
a 12-36 9sp cassette.  I'm sure Riv will have a tire that they want us to 
consider and I'll run that.  I won't run fenders because it'll be a 
fairweather bike.  I haven't decided what to do in the rack department, but 
I already have a Nitto Big front with a Wald basket that came off my 
Appaloosa, that I might run.

Re: [RBW] Re: 2010 Wisconsin built Hillborne

[James Warren]

Also, regarding the relationship between brake style and where it was made, 
don't extrapolate what I said (about canti frames being from Wisconsin for the 
orange frames of 2010) to the very first green ones that came before 2010. 
Those first generation Hillbornes were all canti frames and I believe all made 
in Taiwan.

Re: [RBW] Re: 2010 Wisconsin built Hillborne

I'm pretty sure that in that era (2010-11 orange), canti brake posts indicated 
a Wisconsin origin while sidepull compatibility meant It came from Taiwan.

[RBW] Hitting refresh on instagram for rivbike, oceanaircycles, and swiftindustries

[Bill Lindsay]

Rivendell is somewhat active on Instagram.  Ocean Air Cycles and Swift 
Industries post almost daily.  I just happen to be waiting on three very 
expensive deliveries, and all three should be 'any day now'.  

1.  Ocean Air Cycles Docena handlebar bag, made by Swift Industries
2.  Hubbuhubbah tandem
3.  650B Atlantis

I don't want to be a pain calling and/or emailing all the time, so I just 
check instagram.  I figure Rivendell will post photos when they get 50 
tandem frames in.  I figure either Swift or Ocean Air will post something 
when the Docena bags get shipped.  The anticipation is part of the fun, but 
I still want the gratification as well.  It would almost be bad if they all 
arrived at the same time.

[RBW] Re: PSA: VP Pedals on sale

[Alex Wirth- Owner, Yellow Haus Bicycles]

Interesting update regarding VP Components.  As of late we, as a shop, have 
been pretty diligent about helping brands police their MAP (Manufacturer 
Agreed Pricing) online.  We've gone so far as to throw brands out of the 
shop for having little or no interest in controlling the pricing of their 
products or protecting the best interests of local specialty retail.  We 
are a micron blip on the radar as far as having an affect as one 
shopbut. if most brick and mortars show that they carethen who 
knows (it helps me sleep at night).

Anyways, VP Components responded...PROMPTLY (which is rare)on a Sunday. 
 They care!!!  Apparently this was part of their shutdown of US 
warehousing.  To them, all of their distributors were placing large enough 
orders to satisfy factory-direct fulfillment.  So their US operations will 
now be warranty, R, service support etc only.  They indicated that this 
would be a small pricing anomaly, they were aware of it and that normal 
pricing would soon return to the market.  They also told me the they 
offered liquidation pricing to distributors, brick and mortar shops and 
finally online parters (in the order).

[RBW] Re: PSA: VP Pedals on sale

[Grant @ Rivendell]

Sometimes the maker requires a minimum retail price--for a small variety of 
good or at least well-intended reasons. VP-001 was one of those, but it's 
not the only one, for sure. If (for example) the Min Sell Price (MSP) of X 
is $80 and a seller complies because compliance is generally good when you 
want to get along with vendors and don't see the relationship as a battle 
with winners and losers. When somebody else violates the price thing, and 
maybe even sells X for below cost, some buyers will see that as a chance 
for irresistible victory, and naturally and for good reasons, will want to 
share the love with others. This is the free market, and the chips fall, 
etc. Nobody's arguing against a free market or anything.

Yes. I remeasured it yesterday just to make certain. 58 from the center of 
the crank to the top of the seat post.

[Brian Campbell]

Hi. Just want to clarify the frame measurement. This is a 58cm as measured 
by Riv , center of the crank to the top of the seat lug?

[Christopher Cote]

That is the most... unique? Rambouillet build I've seen. I love it. I was in 
exactly the same situation as you a couple months ago. Couldn't bring myself to 
actually let the Ram go.

Good luck, that's a great deal on a wonderful bike.

Chris
