Re: [RBW] Re: Cheviot Wool Sweater Preorder - Anyone In?

[David Bivins]

Excellent point, Mark. I pre-ordered mine the other day.

I love pre-orders. It's like a gift I sent to myself from the past, because
I've usually forgotten that I ordered it.

[RBW] Re: Selling a frame

[Mark Roland]

Yeah, definitely. You don't install a built in swimming pool or redo the 
kitchen right before listing your house. Paint job for bike equals major 
expenditure that will not increase the value enough to cover the cost of 
the paint job, never mind the potential aggravation.

[RBW] Selling a frame

[John Aydelotte]

Question for the group:

After 10+ years, I have decided to part with my Atlantis.  Many reasons, 
most of which I won't go into here, but this 56cm frame has always been 
JUST a bit too small for me.  I recently rode a bicycle which fit like a 
glove and realized what I'd been missing.

Here's the question.  Many of the parts are worn - I have ridden the heck 
out of this thing for years, as a commuter, randonneur, utility bike...you 
name it.  I'm keeping the racks, moving the wheels to other bikes.  So this 
is just a frame.  Should I paint and sell, or sell as-is?

This frame has a fair amount of what Grant calls "beausage".  Scratches, 
surface rust, nicks, rubs, etc...  No significant damage.  The 
perfectionist in me wants to send it to Riv, have them paint it, and then 
sell.  My practical side thinks I won't recoup the cost in the final 
price.  Someone may not care about the wear-and-tear and may even want to 
paint it a different color.

What's the group consensus - sell as-is, or get it showroom-ready?

Thanks in advance,

John

In case it’s not clear, we’re riding across two parks/preserves so that’s why 
the permits/parking fees are so convoluted/confusing. Apologies in advance if 
it seems a little kludgy.

1. Everyone needs to pay for a shawangunk preserve permit.

2. Only people that drive/park at minnewaska need to pay for Minnewaska

[RBW] Re: RBW 25 -Atlantic side of things

[Alex Wirth- Owner, Yellow Haus Bicycles]

Alright folks here’s three points that will be helpful wrangling campers, 
drivers and permits etc.

https://goo.gl/maps/o7VsC6uvaCTiZZGA7

(This is essentially a google maps route that starts at the campground, stops 
at the visitor center (permits) and ends at the ride start/minnewaska parking 
lot)

Meet at the campground parking lot at 10 if you’re camping and/or want to ride 
to the start.  Meet at the ‘Ride Start’/minnewaska parking lot at 11 ready to 
roll.  (Refer to directions linked above)

I think the only people that will need to pay for minnewaska are people that 
drive in/and park.  Everyone will need to pick up a permit at the Shawangunk 
Visitor Center whether you ride or drive (See directions above).

Of note:

Riding from the campground to the ride start/minnewaska parking lot is about 6 
miles and 1,200 feet of elevation.  The rest of the route is pretty tame. (the 
views and downhills are worthy of the effort imho)

Hi Everyone,

I was planning to attend this as my first official Riv gathering, but due

If anyone still needs a campsite, I paid for a spot for the weekend and

[RBW] Re: Creaking + Nitto Noodle stem compatibility

[Luke]

The quill of my technomic creaks in the head tube when it's not lubed, or 
hasn't been lubed in a while. It happens at wide enough intervals that I 
forget where the creaking is coming from and let it drive me crazy for a 
while before I remember it's the quill ha ha.

[RBW] Re: Which kind of shellac "flakes" do you use for cotton tape? Seed, button, flake, or dewaxed???

[Eric Grim]

I use seed lac or button lac, dissolved in denatured alcohol of course, to 
soak the jute twine on my bars.  Both darken the twine, which is OK with 
me.  I think it's likely that the blonde lac would not darken the tape as 
much, but I am confident it will still darken it some.

[RBW] FS - quality 27" wheelset - Phil Wood/Weylss/Super Champion

[velomann]

Long shot perhaps, but I have a higher quality 27" wheelset for sale if 
you're looking for some nice wheels for a vintage bike.

Both wheels are 36 spoke laced to Super Champion rims in excellent 
condition.
Rear hub is older Phil Wood, 120 spacing.
Front is very smooth and hard to find Weyless hub with original skewer. For 
more on Weyless hubs see here: 
http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=53a75029-53eb-41b8-af6a-3293a0d31d34

$75 plus shipping or pick up in Portland.

Conversely, if you just want the hubs I'm willing to unlace the wheels. 
Price is still $75 + shipping which would obviously be cheaper.

See on CL ad here:
https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bop/d/portland-vintage-27-wheelset-phil-wood/6976432786.html

That's great to know! Thanks for the information--was just thinking about
what food we need to bring!

On a related note for pre/post ride things to do -- we'll have a fiddle and
banjo in tow with a disclaimer that we are relative beginner/intermediate

[RBW] Re: RBW 25 -Atlantic side of things

[Alex Wirth- Owner, Yellow Haus Bicycles]

FYI there’s a killer traditional German Restaurant called Mountain Brauhaus 
about 4 mins/.5 mi from the campground.  I plan on riding over around 6 on 
Friday night.  They’re only open till 9 pm so it gets a little packed/crazy on 
the weekends.  If anyone would like to join me, let me know and I’ll make a 
reservation (otherwise I’ll take a risk waiting for a bar spot).

Also there’s a nice deli across the street from the restaurant open 6:30 
am-6pm.  Great to-go sandwiches /snacks/drinks and the breakfast sandwiches are 
to die for.  So, if you’re not into camp food there’s other options very close 
by.

To be honest the description and color didn’t sound appealing to me.  However, 
regret is a bitter pill to swallowso I ordered anyway.  Looking forward to 
being pleasantly surprised and it’s always nice to have something on the

I do not agree that a factory ebike works better, it's just a cleaner build. 
I've converted a few Rivs and having the benefit of a great bike to start with 
was a big plus, in my opinion. I'll have pics of an All Rounder with Copenhagen 
Wheel for you folks to admire/be appalled at in a couple weeks.

I've got an E-bike & seeing as the whole bike cost about the same as my 
Clementine; there's hardly reason enough to buy a Rivendell and electrify it; 
cheaper just to buy a complete Ebike. It will work better then a converted bike

[masmojo]

I don't think it's a matter of finances really; the seat lug pictured was a 
prototype the accompanying lugs might not be fully developed yet & likely 
wouldn't be before the lug maker goes out of business.
Speaking for myself I would gladly plop down a deposit if that would insure 
production and I am sure that plenty others would as well.
