Thanks, ttoshi!
I just bought a Roadeo from a lister and glad to hear about the ride qualities 
and your experience with position on the bars.

[RBW] Custom bike report

[Lum Gim Fong]

Congrats on the great bike and rides!!!
You could try DT shifting to save a little weight, too, and get quicker/crisper 
shifts.
Took me two attenpts on two different bikes  but on the Rambouillet it’s second 
nature now and a cleaner look also.

Tip: don’t ever shift a DT lever while your thumb rests on the TT- you can 
shoot the bike right out from under you if you press down with too much weight 
on the TT with your thumb while fingering shifter.
Use full fist or thumb/forefinger combo on lever.

Double Tip: Use Silver DT shifters on the DT bosses. They are long levers and 
make it easy to grab them.

Triple tip: I think the silver barend levers can work on your DT bosses with 
the stop ring. Call Mark at RBW and he can tell you how.

The so cal all rounder group, SCAR, will have lots of good info on Long Beach 
area rides. I’ve never made it to one of their rides but I’ve ripped off their 
routes one or two times after the fact. You’ll be close to the beach and Irvine 
hills, and a train ride away from some  great trails. You can also ride the 
river bike path up to LA. It has nice and not nice sections, but you’ll see 
more of the la river than most ever do. As far as theft goes, it’s Southern 
California, so fairly bad. Bring a good lock.

[RBW] Re: Long(er) fender daruma bolts for basket/rack on Quickbeam

['Tom Matchak' via RBW Owners Bunch]

May I suggest that you consider the PlugNut fender mount, in stock now at 
the Velo Lumino  webstore . This 
little nugget creates a secure M5 threaded boss inside the steerer tube, 
which is flush with the underside of the fork crown. It comes with an M5 
bolt that is the length for mounting your fender, but you can obtain a 
longer M5 bolt at your local hardware store if you need to stack other 
stays (rack or basket) onto that anchor point. 

While the PlugNut was designed for maximizing tire-to-fender clearance in 
tight situations, adding a few mm of metal between fender and crown should 
be fine. In fact, you might be able to swap out the included thick leather 
washer and add your other stays without needing a longer bolt.

>From the Velo Lumino product page, you can download the PlugNut 
installation instructions, which define the steerer tube conditions that 
are required for a proper application. Please read this before you purchase 
the PlugNut.

Thanks for reading, and I'd be happy to answer any questions.

(Disclosure: I have a commercial interest in the PlugNut fender mount.)

Cheers,
Tom Matchak

[RBW] Riv-ish in Long Beach?

[Bill Schairer]

I had a bike stolen from a locked Element with tinted windows in the middle of 
the day at the convention center a year and a half ago.  I came to understand 
that bike theft is rampant there so be careful.  I did recover the frame, 
straight but trashed, just a couple months ago.  I had it listed on Bike Index.

[Philip Williamson]

Congratulations on your new-to-you Quickbeam! If you can post pictures, I'm 
sure we'd all like to see it.
My personal favorite rack for my basketed Quickbeam is the Nitto M-12, that 
mounts to the canti studs. Granary Cycles had a similar-but-different Nitto 
rack, but they're sold out.

[RBW] For Sale: Gilles Berthoud GB 1500 Panniers-Black

[Steve Butcher]

I purchased this set of Berthoud GB 1500 panniers from the Granary a few 
weeks ago.  They are brand new and unused.  I simply unpacked them, 
attached them to the rack, then put them away in the box in which they were 
shipped. I am selling them because I've concluded I will just use some of 
my other panniers; so the Berthouds  are just redundant.  They are very 
well made and have the clever R attachment brackets.  $250.00 shipped 
CONUS.  At this price, I am just trying to recover the cost of the bags and 
shipping.  This is considerably less cost than many of the on-line dealers 
I have researched.  My phone battery died so I do not currently have photos 
to share but would be happy to e-mail some photos if needed.  Please send 
me a private message with questions.  PayPal preferred.  Thanks.

[RBW] Long(er) fender daruma bolts for basket/rack on Quickbeam

[Tully Lanter]

I've got a gorgeous green Quickbeam sitting on the patio, recently arrived 
from a fellow RBW member, ready to roll but for a basket and rack.

Unfortunately there's just one eyelet front and rear, and mounting anything 
to QR axles seems imprudent, if even possible.

The fenders (Berthoud stainless) are currently in these 

 clever 
daruma bolts, which are too short for the basket and rack stays (about 2mm 
and 4mm wide, respectively). Longer daruma bolts seem like the most elegant 
solution, but may not exist. Anyone know where to look? 

If something like the SKS clips 

 were 
compatible with Berthoud stays, that might be even better. I considered 
good ol' P-clamps but am concerned (paranoid?) about mounting loads where a 
frame wasn't quite designed for it.

Open to other suggestions, of course!

[RBW] Re: Has anyone installed Guidonnet style levers on Choco's?

[Jeremy Till]

Earlier this year I was in a friend's bike shop, where he deals mainly in 
used bikes and parts with a bobbish flavor. He had a pair of late 80's or 
early 90's mountain bike levers, maybe also made by Dia-Compe, with a 
guidonnet-style bend in them, that had been intended to allow the use of 
brakes while riding on bar-ends. They were significantly beefier than 
Guidonnet levers and immediately got me thinking along these lines.  
Unfortunately I think the clamp was intended for flat bars and would be too 
wide to fit around the curves of a Choco or Albatross, and the angle of the 
bend was more acute, to follow bar-ends which generally angled in.  

I also think Paul Components, in their early days, made some lever 
extenders for a similar purpose.  Maybe an alternative?

['Tim' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Lum, I'm pretty sure that Cyclofiend Jim is the moderator. When I view this 
site (I'm on a Mac, yours may be slightly different) the first several topics 
were all originated by Jim. Maybe you will have better luck reaching out 
directly. I only say this because recently Jim mentioned being away from the 
list for a while (when a thread got pretty testy he came back and had lots and 
lots of posts to delete.)

[RBW] FS: Keven's Bag

['Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Looking through my closet and found this … Didn’t remember that I had it! Not 
currently on a bike and not likely to be, so off it goes. The classic Keven 
bag—holds a lot in a nice, square-ish shape that tucks nicely under the seat 
and won’t hit your legs. Genuine Baggins Bag quality, made of thick canvas and 
leather.

Nice condition—a bit of patina, but no tears or damage. Includes all of the 
straps.

$65 shipped in the CONUS.

[RBW] FS: Brooks Saddle Bag

['Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I ended up with two of these, so one has to go … Nice Brooks bag in luxurious 
“pleather” with leather trim. Very good condition with the exception of one 
wear mark that will be mostly hidden when it’s on your bike and a few minor 
tears in the lining on the inside (see the photos). 

Works as a handlebar bag *or* a seat bag. If used on the seat, it will benefit 
from a holder or stabilizer to keep it from swaying.

These went for about $150 new—this one can be yours for $60 shipped in the 
CONUS.

[RBW] Re: Has anyone installed Guidonnet style levers on Choco's?

['Eamon Nordquist' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Similar feelings here. I also had a set mounted on VO Porteur bars. I found 
that if you grabbed the curved end portion hard in an emergency braking 
situation, the levers could rotate on the bars, causing the lever to bottom 
out against the bars. This led to a very scary near crash for me. I 
couldn't seem to tighten the band clamp enough to make them feel safe and 
secure to me.

[RBW] Re: FS: 53 Bleriot

[Lum Gim Fong]

I think I was confusing people with the old pics and such from the first 
post. So here are the specific build specs of the complete bike for sale 
with pricing.
This is a 53c frame size Bleriot. Sat in box until 3 years ago when I 
bought it new in box from PJW cycles and built up by College Park Bikes, 
Maryland, a former Rivendell dealer.
Bike has less than 3,000 miles on it and is in excellent condition and 
ready to ride. Silky smooth drivetrain. Garage kept. Ridden lovingly.

I would be open to excluding components you don't want/need. I also have 
Boscos and Tektro levers for the Boscos I could switch out for the Noodles 
and Levers pictured.
Paypal and we split boxing/shipping. Or, if you are local to Maryland, we 
can meet up to deliver in person.
Thanks, everyone! Sorry for any confusion, friends!


For $1150 complete bike includes:

Brakes – Tektro R559 Allen Bolt

Brake Levers – Shimano BL-R400

Chain – SRAM PC830 8-speed

Crankset – Sugino XD600 Triple Crank.   26-36-46 toothcount. 170mm 
Crankarms.

Front Derailer – Microshift The sticker on it says “FD-R539 9-speed Triple 
52-42-30”

Rear Derailer – SunXCD long cage SXRD34M - silver

Handlebars – 41cm (“410”) NITTO Noodle

Shifters – Rivendell Silver Bar End Shifters

Stem – 6cm/22.2/26.0 clamp Technomic Deluxe.

Tubes – Schwalbe SV12 650b Inner Tubes

Seatpost – Kalloy Uno, cut down to 240mm length by me from 350mm length. I 
used a pipe cutter and finished with  steel wool. Boeshielded the 
bottom inch and cut end and greased post heavily before installing.

Bottom Bracket –Shimano square taper

Headset – Velo Orange

Wheelset – Front: Velocity Synergy 36 hole 650b rim/Velocity hub   Rear: 
Synergy rim/Velocity hub

Tires – Compass Loup Loup Pass 650b x 38mm

Cassette – Shimano 7-speed HG50 13-30 tooth (13-15-17-20-23-26-30) I used a 
4.5mm spacer to take up the extra space on the freehub that is left from 
not using an 8-speed cassette. I hand filed the spacer so it would clear 
the rivets on the back of the cogs. No spacer necessary for 8+ speed 
cassettes on this freehub. 

Pedals – MKS Touring Pedals

Bar Tape –Brooks microfiber bartape – honey.

 

Add items below to the above complete bike and  price is $1450:

Decaleur – Compass/Gran Bois/Nitto for NITTO Pearl stems, includes crossbar 
pins bag mount piece.

Fenders - Honjo H50 hammered aluminum fenders

Rack -  Velo Orange Randonneur front rack.


Bike does not include bottle cages or tailight. I need them. :)

[RBW] Re: Do you have a ROHLOFF hub on your bike ?

[Tom Allingham]

Charlie -- I have a Rohloff on my Riv Bombadil.  You're welcome to ride it 
-- happy to take it up to your place for you.  I love it -- it's everything 
that's advertised.  The setup took some finagling, but it's rock solid once 
successfully installed.  Needs a chain tensioner, obviously, with the 
vertical dropout on the Bombadil.  I used a Paul Melvin tensioner, and it 
works great.  Here's a pic:

I won't be back in Wilmington for a month or so, but happy to hook up then.

[RBW] Re: FS: 53 Bleriot

[Lum Gim Fong]

Just a note on sizing:
I am 5’8”
82 PBH
I also fit 54 Ram
52 Hillborne
55Bleriot
Just for sizing reference if that helps.
The short 6cm stem extension I have is because I have a shorter reach than most 
(I think) and like my bars close.

[RBW] Re: A four hour (over two days) ride on the Great Allegheny Passage

[ascpgh]

I'm glad you had a great trip. Wasn't it fantastic how those little falls 
created small cool pockets, so inviting on a hot day? So many I couldn't 
stop at each and believe I could reach my destination before dark.

Part of the treasure of this trail is the access and ability to pick and 
choose your route to serve your interests and intent along its path. It's 
humbling to have this nearly out of my front door.

FWIW, I tried contacting this seller and have had no response. I assume these 
are sold.

[RBW] Re: Custom bike report

[Tony DeFilippo]

Congrats on all those long rides!  All the more gratifying doing it on a bike 
that performs so well and that you had so much to do with spec-ing out.

Thanks for sharing!

Tony
