Re: [RBW] Grant’s Hillybike Concept Attempts to Restore Balance to the Speed of Humanity

[Joe Bernard]

Shoot, half the new cars for sale now have lane-wandering warnings and brakes 
that automatically stop you if a car ahead stops. This stuff is many 
generations ahead of your old Volvo.

Re: [RBW] Grant’s Hillybike Concept Attempts to Restore Balance to the Speed of Humanity

[Eric Daume]

Of course, a new car with stability control probably wouldn’t have spun out
in this case. And if it did roll, it would have airbags and likely a
stronger structure. But this seems to be getting pretty far off the GBW.

I guess it depends on your tire width. 
I like CR-18s. I have them on King and Paul hubs.

[RBW] Re: Wheel question

[Adam M.]

I concur with S about the Mavic A319's.  They come in silver and I my 
wheels are 36 spoke with 1.8/2.0/1.8 double butted DT spokes.  Since I 
weigh 275-280lbs they really hold their true and have not let me down.  I 
believe that they are a wonderful value at about $55 per hoop.  Available 
in both 32 and 36 holes.

Thanks everyone. 




David, that Triple Cross looks very sharp.




I'm actually helping a good friend build up his new Homer Hilsen next weekend. 




It'll be fun seeing and working on one.




Tom, I also was surprised how well and how spritely / lively it rides for a

and agree they are underated a bit of a 'sleeper'


bike that is not too well known.

I'm not sure what ships out with the Clem but as far as I can tell, yes

couple of light scuffs on the front that would probably come off, but 
otherwise excellent condition. 75$ shipped

conclusion they are too big. brown suede version. normal 3 month wear. 60$ 
shipped

*Snowpeak Titanium cookset*- 2 pots and a lid/pan that nest. small and 
lightweight, made in japan. used literally one time. THIS ONE 
 
pretty sure i purchased from riv- 35$ shipped

*Alcohol stove package-* includes trangia clickstand (which folds flat), 
trangia windscreen (forgot to photo), new but basic alcohol stove, other 
minimalist stove and pot holder that nests in a MSR al cup/pot, MSR cup/pot

[RBW] Wheel question

[ted]

You might look at the H Plus Son TB14. Last year I had black mountain cycles 
build a set of wheels for a one speed using Phil high flange hubs (with 
cutouts). Mike suggested using the TB14 rims and they came out very nice. If 
you like a traditional look, and aren’t going tubeless, they seem like a great 
choice.

Great looking and well thought out bike! I also imitated Riv for many years and 
finally got a Cheviot then a Sam Hillborne and couldn’t be happier with them. 
Your imitation is better than mine ever were (Jamis Coda Sport with Albatross 
bars and such) and I’m sure you’ll find the right Riv again one day. Beautiful 
build here though.

[RBW] Wheel question

I like the Mavic A319. You can get the A719 if you want fancier. I have never 
had any problems with Mavic rims.

[RBW] Re: Riv-ish bike shop in Ann Arbor?

[Jack K]

The "Ann Arbor Classic Bicycle Show" is actually in Saline and used to be 
named that, I've been to it many times when it had the old name. It is a 
big show/swap and I was always happy I went, but ... When they say 
"classic" they mean more classic (i.e. vintage) than most Riv-folk are 
focused on. They're be lots of Whizzers, 40's & 50's balloon tire bikes, 
banana seat & ape hanger barred "Krate" bikes and a show of custom 
"lowrider" bikes, with a random smattering of "lightweight" drop bar bikes 
and goods for them. I've been to far smaller show/swaps that held far more 
interest for me, but it obviously depends on your cycling interests ...

[RBW] Wheel question

['Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Hey Carla! Velocity’s Quill, which descends from their A23, looks like a great 
choice. I roce the A23 on my QB before I shifted to the Altas when I shifted to 
fixed (new hub, new wheel). The A23 handled everything I through its way with 
aplumb, and I’m 200 pounds of engine and rode it on rocky, rooty singletrack 
and dirt/gravel roads. It is a great balance of strong and light (whereas the 
Atlas leans to the strong instead of light). And at 20mm inside width, it will 
handly wider country bike tires beautifully. I hope that helps.
http://www.velocityusa.com/product/rims/quill-622

Other considerations: handbuilt, in my experience, makes a huge difference and 
is well worth the expense (I’ve never gone out of true or popped a spoke on 
handbuilts riding more technical stuff than I did when I popped spokes and bent 
factory-built rims); 32 spoke if you are light and/or ride light, 36 if you 
don’t want to worry about it and the few oz. are no big deal. 

With abandon,
Patrick

On my 700c singlespeed I want to have new wheels using Philwood hubs in silver 
of course. My question is which rim in silver maybe a Velocity? I will be 
riding light gravel, dirt and pavement. Ideas are appreciated.

[RBW] Not a Riv but Heavily Influenced by Riv

[in Dallas nick]

A good Sunday morning to all.




I had a Riv but I do not have one now.




I bought one 5 years from their beginning in 1999, a custom road model in a 
beautiful blue with contrasting white head tube.




I didn't know much at all about bike mechanics at the time and after gathering 
the parts paid a mechanic to build it up.




Since then I've accumulated the tools and learned to completely disassemble a 
bike and build it back up to my preferences, 


a process I thoroughly enjoy.




I enjoyed it a lot for a number of years before regretfully selling it.




I still read most everything from Riv as well as this list and have learned 
much over those 20 years since 1999.




After a phase of 'lighter and faster' attempts 


with a multitude of  bikes I decided


practical, comfortable and more stable bikes were my preference. 


Bikes like Riv offers and


of course lugged steel is preferred. 




The aesthetic as well as the ride of lugged steel just does it for me.




I've had a good many bikes come and go in my stable over these 20 years and 
some non lugged ones ride very nicely.




However when stopping along the ride and looking at my bike, perhaps snapping a 
pic,


the aesthetics come into play and I Iove the look of a nicely crafted lugged 
steel  frame.




I like this list and the overall vibe, civility,  helpfulness,  even kindness 
this list shows 


nearly all the time with very few exceptions.




I hope a Riv is in my not too distant future, 


a new Atlantis frame when budget allows.


We will see.




In the meantime here is a pic of my attempt at a comfortable  and stable Riv 
like machine, 


a 1986 Schwinn  Passage which was a touring model not a lot different from a 
Schwinn Voyageur.




Paul  in Dallas




If any make it to Dallas and schedules permit


I'd be happy to take you on a bike tour of the downtown area.

Re: [RBW] WTB: 61cm Roadini frameset

[Tommy Patterson]

Reid,

I have a few shorter nitto stems if you're interested. Maybe a pair of
pedals or two. Send me a DM and I can look through the part bin.

I am emailing with another individual about selling the Ram and I suggested
$1200 minus the handlebar bag/rack combo. I've seen Rams for sale from 1000
to 2000+ depending on build, condition/wear & tear, etc. If things falls
through with the interested individual I will post some photos and list it
for sale.

Thanks,
Tommy

How much are you asking for it? Might have some friends interested. To be 
perfectly honest if I had known someone in the state had a full one for sale in 
Grant's more modern geometry I'd have probably gone for that over building a 
new Roadini from the frame up. Not that I regret it, of course.

If you ever have any parts for sale let me know - I trust the taste of
