[RBW] Help identify bottle holder from Roman's staff bikes

[Stuart Lovinggood]

These style bags are pretty popular in the bespoke bicycle bag circuit right 
now. In addition to Randi Jo I'll plug a Texas maker, Ellum Bagworks:

I often attach these bags to the rack or basket so it doesn't get in the way of 
hand positions on the bars...

[RBW] Re: Long Time Coming....

[Kiley DeMond]

Oh, that is just the tip of the story! I went through a Raleigh RX 1.0, 
Trek Pilot 5.0 WSD (great fit, but skinny tire road bike), a Jamis Coda 
Elite, Terry Valkyrie, Workcycles Secret Service. I wanted a 'girl' bike 
after years (heck, my whole life) on men's bikes due to being 5'10" and a 
PBH of 91.5, further complicated by a 'normal' torso and arms, and 
longer-than-average femurs. Nothing fit. I used to play "stump the bike 
store" and watch them scramble (and lie) trying to get a bike to fit me. 
That's why I swapped out the handlebars on the Cheviot, even the Albatross' 
were just a little too short to sit comfortably upright given the femur 
length/arm length opposing measurements. And after a couple of black bikes, 
I had a "no black" edict, and other the tires (which I considered swapping 
for gray), there is no black on this bike!

[RBW] Re: In praise of Spur-cycles bells

[Mitch Harris]

+1 Also have the Spurcycle bell on several bikes, with a special mod to 
mount it to a stem's M5 bell mount. 
I like the sound, pitch, sustain, low profile, design and quality. 
On a recent MUP ride with my wife I we compared the Spurcycle and a brass 
Crane bell from Riv, and alternated, to see if there was a difference in 
how people responded or how the bell sounded to us. We rode ahead 
separately to see if we could hear one better than the other.  We had good 
results with both, couldn't tell a difference (in our non-empirical test) 
in how people responded to the bells. We thought we could hear the 
Spurcycle from further away but that might have been sustain/duration. 
Haven't tried it with a tuner to see what the actual pitch is, but it only 
seems an octave or so above the Crane, and that doesn't seem like enough of 
a pitch difference to pass out of hearing range for most people. There are 
lots of higher freq overtones in bell sounds so I imagine some of those are 
less audible for some people, but that would be true for all bells.

[RBW] Re: Long Time Coming....

[Kiley DeMond]

Thanks!  The picture is taken just across the road where I live on Willow 
Lake Road in Prescott, AZ. I lived in the Bay Area for decades, moved to 
AZ, then spent a year in Ann Arbor, MI (where Heidi was delivered), and am 
finally back to AZ. There are so many trails and great places to ride — all 
uncrowded. I never had the chops to ride trails before due to twitchy 
bikes. This bike is downright magical.

Re: [RBW] Help identify bottle holder from Roman's staff bikes

[Jay Connolly]

I've use the Revelate ones for bikepacking. Fantastic. They can take away a 
hand position, however, if you like to rest your hands close to the stem. 
That's the only downside I can think of.

Posting to see if anyone would be interested in purchasing a Jeff Jones

it,  but am now saving to buy a full Jones frame set. Fits 135 mm front 
hub, I am using a Paul whub. I believe it can fit 29+ tires but I am 
running Panaracer fat b nimble 27.5x3 tire.  Fits 1 1/8 headset but uses 
Jones specific headset. $325 plus shipping for fork and headset+aluminum 
steerer tube? Please contact me off list. Thanks.

I'm so glad you got your bike back. I was another who was preparing to drive

had no idea what I was going to do when I got there, but everything in my brain 
was "I'm not leaving without that Glorius." I didn't think of offering to buy 
it! ;-)

Hello, I've been changing some stuff around and am offering for sale the

apparently inscribed itself on the handlebar.  The bars have never been 
wrecked or bent.  Asking $35.00 shipped CONUS.  Also, offering a cockpit 
with Nitto Moustache handleber, Nitto Technomic stem (6 cm I think), 
vintage Dia-compe Brake levers, and barely used Shimano 8 speed Bar end 
shifters from Rivendell.  Bars are wrapped in gray Serfas cotton tape with 
a couple coats of clear shellac.  Asking $100.00 shipped CONUS.  Please PM 
me with questions.  Thanks.  Steve.

[RBW] Re: My Purple Glorious was Stolen

[Evan E.]

Fantastic news! Terrific team effort.

While we're on the subject of bike theft, please keep a look out for my 
Rivish Austro-Daimler Superleicht (picture attached). Stolen from my garage 
(yes, it was locked, but even a stout cable lock is no match for bolt 
cutters) in North Beach, San Francisco, on June 19th. The bike was 
registered at BikeIndex.org, and I filed a police report and posted a 
"stolen!" notice on Craigslist. What I need now is for Brad, Andy, Will, 
Chalida, TR, and every other Bay Area lister to search everywhere. Hey, you 
never know. Thanks!

[RBW] Re: My Purple Glorious was Stolen

['Clayton' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Stellar!  It makes me frickin' happy that you got your bike back! I really 
hate bike thieves. I caught some before (they punched my kid, and stole his 
bike) and the rush of revenge when I leapt off my bike at fifteen mph and 
tackled the teen that was riding it, was very primal and shocking. Notice: 
DON'T MESS WITH MY KID. When the cops came, I was sure I was going to jail. 
I tackled a fifteen year old and slid to a stop holding his face down on 
the pavement.  The cops just smiled after I explained the kids injuries, 
and said, "You don't have to stress, I see no problem here. You just busted 
the bike theft gang." The kid was in a group of about ten when I tackled 
him. I jumped up, screaming, "Steal my kids bike you F&%$?!! I'll take you 
all out!"  I was skinned and bleeding and in a primal rage. Four of the 
kids dropped their bikes and started running away. I immediately knew the 
bikes were stolen. I yelled as loud and as crazy sounding as I could.   
"Stop or else!"  To my surprise, they stopped. By pure intensity and 
threats, I controlled all ten 'kids' and walked them the block to a 
supermarket where the employees called the cops.  A week later, I get a 
call from the kids mom. She begged and pleaded with me to drop the charges 
and I refused. She then turned to threats and told me that the kids father 
was in prison for murder and his uncle, who was in prison for armed robbery 
would be getting out soon. I laughed and said, "Bring it. I'll be 
waiting..and armed."  That was the last I ever dealt with bike thieves. 
Sorry about your face kid, but I hoped you learned a lesson. I ALWAYS 
(except bikepacking) use a high rated U-lock and never leave my bike out of 
the public eye. I have pitlocks on my wheels and seat. A friend recently 
had his bike, that was locked to his bike rack on his car with a cable 
lock, stolen. Cable locks are worthless. They can be cut quickly and easily 
with a small set of bolt cutters that can be hidden under a shirt. Here in 
Bend, we have a rash of bike thefts from time to time. Usually from the 
back or top of vehicles that are secured with a cable lock. The tourists 
make it too easy.

Thanks Garth!  I've never heard of himbut I like that he's so close...

Mark, I'll measure the steerer requirements when I get to the shop but it's 
huge!  Riv huge!  This is the project:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BV6LlKbhEfu/?taken-by=yellowhausbicycles

I'm also going to stop at a local community bike shop to see if there are 
any forks that might match my requirementsalthough I feel like it's a 
needle in a haystack.

I wish Riv still had those unpainted forks!!  We used those for a couple of 
customers and I should have bought a couple in each size while I had the 
chance

They're also supposed to be more like the QB/SO where you can fit a double

horizontal dropouts to adjust the chain b/w the different configs 
(something I asked about when getting my rosco bubbe which also had 
horizontal dropouts but not enough room to do the multi-speed thing).

  You could try calling Jack Trumball of Franklin Frames in mid Ohio. He 
builds, paints, aligns and repairs frames(and not just his own). He's been 
around since the 70's, and is immensly knowledgeable and helpful. My experience 
with him has always been excellent and prompt service. He prefers to talk on 
the phone and talking with him you realize why. His prices compared to what 
else I read about online is still and has always been "old school reasonable". 
He's a one man shop so he doesn't mess around! Here is his contact page .

Hey, BellBOBs:

Indeed, you are correct sir -- SPUR CYCLE bells are the Campy Nuovo Record 
of dingers. The joy is if you have a few bikes then you're helping keep 
these guys going and that's a good thing. 

We bought our first one on the Kickstarter program several years ago and 
once it came had to have them all around. It's a tiny jewel of engineering 
and altho $$ for its size, the sound is BIG and BRIGHT and wakes you up. 
Like the little wrens at our bird feeders, you simply can't believe such a 
tiny object sings such a big beautiful song. 

The only discord they strike is this: I ride a lot with my son, and altho 
he has them on his bikes, too, he cringes when I acknowledge our fellow 
riders in passing. Being the cheerful chap I am, I just can't help ringing 
and waving. One pal (affectionately I think) calls me the 'ice cream man'. 
Why have the thing if you don't use it, right?

[RBW] Re: Custom fork builder suggestion

['Mark in Beacon' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Are there other specifics--ie, rake, rack mounts, etc? I ask because I've 
purchased used forks for projects with good success. Depending on your 
steerer tube length requirement, I may even have one shortly. Much cheaper 
route. Otherwise, I think you will probably be looking at $250 bare 
minimum, and up from there. Tom Matchak has done a number of custom forks, 
if I recall. Jeff Lyon as well, though I think mostly batch jobs. With 
forks, I would make certain of the builder's experience level before 
worrying about price.

Right now nothing on eBay with a fork crown like you want, but there is 
this, if you need a longish one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/vintage-mountain-frame-single-speed-mountain-bike-frame-/192227450794?hash=item2cc1a61faa:g:YDYAAOSw3h1ZTrph

If you need rack mounts, you can have a builder put them exactly where you 
want--could probably even re-rake it. 

I got lucky with my 26" project. I had a NOS Riv 700c fork, unpainted. Just 
moved the canti posts, and now has tons of clearance for fat 26" tires.

Re: [RBW] Re: In praise of Spur-cycles bells

They are the best selling bell in our shop and also the most 
expensivetwo things that rarely go together in the same category.  The 
design and execution is next-level AND the company operates in a 
professional and courteous manner (somewhat of a rarity these days).

I have one of the original Lionworks bells that my wife bought for me when 
we first started dating.  They were engraved pretty deep originally, as 
opposed to etched.  I wish they didn't make that changethe original 
engraving gave it a heritage quality.  One of my favorite bike related
