Price drop to $2,225.

Thank to all for the compliments and advice.  I'm trying to tie this up in 
one fell swoop and not part it out due to my time constraints.

Hey, I think I heard my name (thanks, Leif!).

That is a nice shot of his dog running full speed toward him. I doubt I was 
the only one to comment on the catalog drawings and send get well wishes to 
Scoutie; I suspect maybe there were *too* many responses & he decided not 
to put them through. I really like the film photography, both Grant's and 
the staff's. It's even inspired me to pick up a film camera, after having 
gotten rid of mine years ago. Now I just need some film, and some spare

FWIW, I still don't know why but descending on the Rossin was like being on 
rails.

I moved back to Florida and wanted a similar bike with fatter tires and 
stumbled on the Rivendell site and this group.

Re: [RBW] Re: Frame geometry

[Eric Daume]

I don't agree with his conclusions. He says that bikes can have lower trail
now because they are stiffer:

"Companies wouldn’t put bikes with so little trail on the road if the forks
weren’t significantly stiffer than they used to be. You need precise
handling in order to control a fork that steers so quickly. "

That doesn't exactly jive with the typical Bicycle Quarterly ride, that
combines low trail with the most flexible frame and fork available.

I'm also curious how many riders could detect a 5mm change in bottom
bracket drop, which seems like a watershed event to this guy.

[RBW] Active warm-ups and stretching

[tc]

As I get older my body gets better at reminding me to warm up before I do 
anything remotely athletic ... and stretch afterward.

Those of us over 30 or so (I'm over 55) were likely taught to 'cold 
stretch' before athletics, which has since been pretty well shot down in 
recent years by those advocating doing  an 'active warm-up' before exercise 
instead of stretching.  It seems stretching reduces muscular strength, 
which you of course don't want; and, if your muscles are too cold, you may 
end up pulling something -- a horrible way to start a bike ride or whatever 
you set out to do.

But I've found that I still need to stretch some about 5-7 miles into a 
ride, particularly my lower back and hamstrings.  So, what has worked for 
me is to jump rope, do some body weight squats, lunges, light kettlebell 
swings, and maybe good ol' jumping jacks for about 5-10 min's to warm up my 
muscles before a ride ... then ride about 5-7 miles ... and *then *do some 
light stretching of my hams, glutes, and hips.  Doing the light stretching 
after riding a while, giving the muscles a chance to warm up, really 
increases my flexibility, feels great, and sets me up to be way more 
comfortable for the rest of my ride, no matter how long it ends up being.

When I'm back home, I spend at least 15-20 minutes stretching out while my 
body is still warm.

Approaching warm-ups and stretching like this has kept me in the game 
without pain or injuries for the past 12 months, and I rarely feel the 
tightness I once did after riding.

Years ago a chiropractor friend recommended this book on stretching, so I 
thought I'd pass it along in case it may help some of you.  It's really the 
best I've seen on the subject:
Stretching 
,
 
by Bob Anderson (I see it's now offered as a 30th anniversary edition, so 
he must be helping a lot of people)

Here's my Sam, patiently waiting as I stretch at the 6-3/4 mile mark this 
morning.  This is a convenient place to stop and stretch because that 
concrete block wall steps down behind where I'm taking this photo to a 
level where I can extend a leg straight out, rest my heel on a block,  and 
slowly, easily s - t - r - e - t - c - h those warmed-up hamstrings and 
back muscles.
 




Here's to flexibility and pain-free rides!
Tom

This is a bike that turns only when you tell it to, and will rail down

[RBW] FS: Rosco Bubbe v2 (x-post iBOB)

[Jeff Lesperance]

Hi Rivsters - I'm continuing a downsizing effort of my bike fleet, and I'm
ready to find a new home for my Rosco Bubbe v2. I just listed this on my
local Craigslist (Washington DC), would prefer a local sale, and I'm
willing to drive to meetup with a buyer in the area if need be. That said,
shipping is an option at buyers expense, but local buyers will get a
priority.

I'm offering the bike as a complete build for $1050, which is how much it
went for from Riv as a frame/fork/headset/seatpost. The build is Riv-ish
though a bit frugal for some bits, and everything is in darn good or
like-new condition. I'd say I have less than 500 miles logged - I don't
keep good records, but I'm sure that's a safe number to go with.

You can see details and pictures on my CL posting here:

Re: [RBW] Frame geometry

[Patrick Moore]

Thanks for this; very interesting. Interesting too that the trail figure is
exactly that of my Matthews with 700C X 61 mm (actual) tires (71.5, 55,
700C X 61). And, further, interesting that, while Merckx was 2-3 inches
taller than I, the featured frame would fit me like a glove. I probably am
at least as long in the torso as he, and like my bar considerably higher.

My brother told me recently that one of the best handling bikes of the many
he's owned -- he included his RB-1 and a few other classics -- was an
Italian marque from the period in question.

I'll be interested in hearing others' opinions about the author's thoughts
on the handling of such stage racer-type bikes -- ie, whether y'all find
such bikes to handle the way he describes -- and how this handling (ie,
that he describes for Merckx's 1970 bike) differs from bikes most of us are
familiar with today -- Roadeo, Bleriot, BMC Road; etc.

Re: [RBW] Tale of two rides

[Deacon Patrick]

Aye, Patrick, I have, from you and/or others on this group of wild wisdom! 
Though I lament it’s hidden articles I have difficulty finding becuase the 
search feature seems to have died like a derailure laid on a rock. Thanks for 
the Muttonmasters article — what a fantastic read!

Aye, my high gear on Shadowfax is 61” and the road decents are slowed for it. I 
find it a great opportunity to take in the views I don’t usually see for my 
wind-blurred vision and focus on the road — plenty of time to gaze at what I 
missed with a freewheel. Grin.

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] WTT: White Ind. 18T Eno for 17T Eno

[George Schick]

Doing a slight re-gearing on the 1x1 and need one tooth size smaller.  The 
18T Eno was on for about 5-6 years and has maybe 1K to 1.5K miles on it. In 
good shape.

Interested in doing a straight-up trade for a 17T Eno, postage, etc. 
included.

Re: [RBW] Tale of two rides

[Patrick Moore]

Patrick: Have you read this, or have you any interest in it? I used to
enjoy it back when it was active.It was this that led me to try (very
briefly) fixed off road, but I couldn't stand 60" downhill and on tailwind
flats, and with a 175 mm crank, no less.

The attitude is somewhat *epater la bourgeoisie,* but it's fun nonetheless.

One of my favorites is the KHS track bike/26" fixie/front drum brake/off
road conversion.

Combining two rides, one from today and one from a week ago, to hopefully not 
overindulge my welcome...

In which I ride before the snow and after the snow and confirm that Shadowfax 
is indeed “silver by day … and passes like a shade in the night,” because the

[RBW] People and places and thoughts...

[Leif Eckstrom]

I had a similar thought recently. I miss posts by pondero and Mark Reimer (?) 
and others who might no longer own Rivs. No doubt they’re still riding with 
plenty of Riv spirit and gusto. While riv ownership is not required to 
participate in the group, I imagine ride reports on other bikes might seem 
off-topic. Hopefully, they’re still reading along with us. 
Best,

[RBW] Square Hole Washers (from Sprint/Silver shifters)

Hi all, i'm in need of some square hole washers, these are the ones that 
come with the sprint/silver dt shifters.  I know that riv have them (and 
are my backup option), but i'm guessing some folks have these left over in 
their tool boxes.   Let me know directly and we can work something out, 
happy to send a few bucks in return.  Thanks!

[Lum Gim Fong]

Meanng they use your pics at will?
Everyone does that anyway I think. No way to secure privacy or ownership online.
For example, some sports rag used Mannys pic without asking, iirc
And foot fetishists used Patrics barefoot riding pics, which is why he switched 
to the grid.

[RBW] People and places and thoughts...

[Bob Lovejoy]

I keep links to people and places and things, though I know they may have 
been quiet for awhile, even quite awhile.  Keeping the links seems 
important though, bread crumbs in their way, back to times, back to wild 
yet simple thoughts and times and choices and doing.

Anyway, in my morning ramblings, I found that Kent Peterson, a hero in my 
way of thinking of heroes, had updated his blog with a poem subtitled "a 
rant for Grant".  And so it is...  I know some people know of Kent and will 
appreciate not only the words but the re-finding...

http://kentsbike.blogspot.com

http://www.thebicyclestory.com/2010/11/kent-peterson-issaquahs-favorite-car-free-ultra-long-distance-racing-techie-turned-mechanic/

Anyone else have news of people not heard from for awhile but valued, 
remembered and looked for nevertheless?

It was a pleasure to meet you yesterday at the Hattiesburg ride.  Sorry that my

together. Also to hear that you had a mechanical. What happened?  You looked 
good on it and that Saluki green is outstanding on that bike.
