Re: [RBW] Re: Orange Roadini
Sean, first report on Jack Brown's is they're just like Roly Polys: a little grainy (if that's a description of how a tire rides), but it feels fast. I wouldn't call them supple like the big 650B tires I'm used to these days, but that's not what a Roadini is about IMO. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

[RBW] Re: Rambouillet purchase
I'll take a stab at it. Assuming the stem length, handlebar shape and width, and the gearing worked for me, and all I needed were incidentals like new cables, brake pads, and a chain, I'd be happy to part with about $1K-ish. Ebay seems to agree with me. I always assume I'll be changing the tires anyway. Saddle and pedals included would be a big plus. Another big plus for me would be the Ritchey cranks. Not so sure if I could live with those blue rims and nipples, but eye of the beholder and all that. As far as cosmetic damage is concerned, so long there are no spooky dings or rust, I actively seek the shelter mutts. Garage queens seem to command the king's ransom. Just my two cents, playing with your wallet!

[RBW] Re: Ride Report: Buffalo to Albany on the Erie Canal
Great ride report, Tim! What a fantastic experince, and I love your examination of conscience at the end. That’s one of the amazing gifts I find with biking in general, and multi-day rides more deeply — they are great at pealing back my stupid so I can see it more clearly! Grin. One thing I’ve learned to do, which isn’t easy on a planned distance tour but works for me, is to ride 6 hours a day. I can do 8-10 hours if I have to, but 6 is my sweet spot. That way, when x takes longer, or there is no water until two hours farther, or whatever other challenge happens, it’s already built in. On the weird days when everything goes right, more time for pipe and whisky at camp. Grin. The beer stops sound great. And what a great highlight to the trip, spending time with John. Lovely.

[RBW] Re: Ride Report: Buffalo to Albany on the Erie Canal
Tim, I loved reading your story about your Erie Canal trip. I do wish that the story had ended on a happier note. On the whole, however, it sounded like the ride had more highlights than low-lights. Still, based on my own experiences, that tough last night would be a lingering bummer. You will have to make the trip next year! I live about 20 miles south-east of Buffalo. A few years ago my son and I, along with a number of boys in his Boy Scout troops, rode from Lockport to Albany. The first few days were awesome (yes - Holley is a great place to camp). However, after that it rained like crazy. There were large sections of the trail that were closed due to flooding of the Mohawk River. This led to some difficult moments (and lots of mosquitoes), but also made the trip an even bigger adventure. If I recall correctly, we took seven days to do the trip (the majority of the boys were approximately 15 years old and were not well-trained cyclists). We averaged approximately 30-35 miles the first few days. However, on the last day we did approximately 70 miles. The kids were amazed by how far they rode that day! I hope to do the trip again some day. In the past I rode an early 90s Trek 520. Next time, I plan to take my Cheviot. Thanks, again, for sharing your story.

The 62cm 6° New-Sam has the same theoretical 62.5cm top tube as my 65cm 1.5° Waterford-Hilsen. Should get the bars up just about as high and fit just about the same. I got it wrong, I bet you'd fit just fine on the 62cm New-Sam. (And I bet I would too!) You're right about the longer top tube on the 64cm Waterford-Sam compared to the 62cm New-Sam. All other things being equal (and all bodies being proportional) the longer TT'd 64cm Waterford-Sam might be predisposed to work a bit better with upright bars, and the shorter TT'd 62cm New-Sam might be preferable for drop bars. But I suspect both would work out with either. All that said, bear in mind what Grant said on the old Rambouillet flyer: "The least useful [fit information], yet most likely to be harped on, is top tube length. You cannot compare bikes by top tube length unless seat tube angles and head tube height and steerer length are exactly the same." Of course he's right. The Hilsen I'm building only needed a 1cm shorter stem to put the bars in the same place as my custom Fitz, which has a 2cm shorter top tube!

Re: [RBW] Re: Orange Roadini
Mo pics. New Jack Browns mounted cuz the Compasses I had were too out of round..too many days sitting flat on the Pashley, I think.

[RBW] Seeking recommendations for builder to make yet further modifications to my 2003 Rivendell
Cross posting on purpose. I've had this frame modified twice, and while the 2 local builders did what I asked them, I want to ask more, and I want a builder with a reputation for painstaking care, and for anticipating problems. That is to say, I want a builder who will be more proactive than our local ones. In particular, I want better fender fit; thus, I'd want to move the rear brake bridge a 3d time for more fender clearance; have the threaded fender bosses under bridge and fork crown repaired; have canti/V-brake bosses installed; and perhaps have another fork made with more fender clearance. I may have a few other minor details done too, which we're at it. I'll need sound advice on the result to the metal of so many modifications, and I'd like to deal with someone who can look, listen, and advise with a pretty good chance of anticipating all the things that I didn't anticipate at times 1 and 2 As for painting, another powdercoat is fine; I care much less about paint than about ride and how a bike fits together. I expect to have frame shipped both ways. Please reply offlist. Thanks. -- Resumes, LinkedIn profiles, bios, and letters that get interviews. By-the-hour resume and LinkedIn coaching.

[RBW] Re: What tires fit good on 700c Sun CR18 rims?
I got that snap in "Zed's"(?) green nylon type tape for slipperiness. Used Wire bead Pasela went on in a snap. Folding pasela (new) took a little work but not as bad as getting the 35 Paselas off. Ran a little spit on the bead to help it get over the rim edge. I ordered some GB Cypress tires and I will see how it goes. PS- oddly (only because of online recommendations and reports I have read), the guy at the LBS said not to use Stan's rim tape on a regular rim because too thin and will get damaged easier. So I got that green transluscent ZED snap over tape he recommended. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

For those who are inclined to read it I have posted the link below: https://wordpress.com/post/muddychainstays.wordpress.com/429 For those of you who lack the time or desire I'll share a few highlights: My Joe Appaloosa made for a nearly perfect touring bike. The highlight of my trip was meeting fellow list member John Phillips. I was overwhelmed by his gracious hospitality. This is a great trip to take that I would recommend to anyone interested in doing a week long tour. In the blog post I share lots of photos and thoughts on what I would have done differently. Enjoy!

Seconding this. I've used CR18's (and previously Sun M13's as well) for years. Most tires have been no problem, although some were a little tight with cloth rim tape. Switch to something thinner like tubeless tape and you shouldn't have a problem.

[RBW] Re: F.S. Roadrunner Bags and Velo Orange Rackaleur
I have an interested gentleman who would like to purchase the rackaleur. Would anyone be interested in the bags for $120.00 shipped CONUS?

[RBW] Re: Weight weenie report. Dia Compe 980 brakes
The new Dia-Compe 980 brakes look interesting. I have the original Dia-Compe 980 brakes, http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=D2AA4D24-29A3-4F50-B3CD-C789F21E144E=117=144 in use on my 1994 Bridgestone MB-1 retro build and on my 1987 Schwinn Voyageur 27" to 700c conversion. Don't know why Dia-Compe didn't come up with a different model# for these brakesh. As for the 27" to 700c conversion, it may be a case by case issue on how well it works. When I initially built this frameset up I used some hybrid wheelset and Dia-Compe 984 brakes. The brakes didn't allow for the pads to hit the rims squarely. I still rode it. When I sold the bike I mounted some high profile Shimano Deore DX post style brakes. When I got the bike back and revamped the build I mounted some 980 brakes. These work well in use. The front have to be adjusted to the point that the brake arms angle slightly downward. I have a Dia-Compe quick release roller straddle cable carrier along with quick release TRP RRL brake levers help in getting the brakes unhooked for wheel removal. With both quick releases it is possible to get the brakes open enough so the wheel can clear without unhooking the brakes from the straddle cable.
