[RBW] Re: Sam Standover Hieghts for 51 & 55

2020-09-24 Thread Jason Fuller
I have an 80.5 pbh roughly (30" inseam pants fit me well) and I can stand 
over my 51 Sam with comfortable clearance, but no more than necessary.

[RBW] Sam Standover Hieghts for 51 & 55

2020-09-24 Thread Michael Mann
And if you really want to go into
the finer points of SOH, remember you probably measured your PBH barefoot. Or 
maybe you were wearing socks? How many millimeters thick were the socks. Did 
you just eat because the additional weight would compress the socks. And you 
don’t ride barefoot. Which shoes? How many millimeters thick are the soles. How 
about the other shoes? And your PBH changes from waking to bedtime...

[RBW] FS: Swift Industries Paloma Handlebar Bag and new KLICKfix for mounting

2020-09-24 Thread Jim S.
$135 shipped.

Here's a description of the product:

https://builtbyswift.com/shop/paloma-handlebar-bag/

Here are photos:

https://photos.app.goo.gl/9cCpw2PXkrdjJmTv6

Condition is good to very good. It looks like these are $175 new, and the 
Klickfix is $27 new.

The Klickfix is included in the $135 price.  I characterize the Klickfix as 
new because I have never mounted it on a bike or even taken it out of its 
box. Concededly, the box is a bit worn.

Re: [RBW] Looking for in house bike stand/holder

2020-09-24 Thread Joel Stern
David, not a work stand, not yet anyway. I want the bikes to be secure in
my sunroom which is where I leave them during cycling season but the stands
I have now are not at all secure, either too loose or too tight, I can
adjust but they seem to not be good for either 42mm or 48mm tires. These
use the front tire.

Re: [RBW] Looking for in house bike stand/holder

2020-09-24 Thread Ed Carolipio
I have the Feedback Velo Cache configured to carry 4 
bikes: https://www.feedbacksports.com/product/velo-cache-black/

Good points:

   - Free standing so no need to attach to anything, and from my experience 
   very stable
   - Lightweight
   - Fit and finish are excellent
   - Rubber "grips" are sturdy and protect the paint finish on the top tube

Downsides:

   - Pricey
   - (Potential) Unknown how well it'll work with double top tube Rivs
   - Need a top tube frame adapter for swoopy top tube frames(Clem L, 
   Cheviot, Gus/Suzie)

[RBW] Re: Back In The Riv Saddle With A '98 Custom Starck-Riv

2020-09-24 Thread Paul Brodek
Actually, come to think of it, if it was mine there's always the 
possibility there was an intermediary caretaker between me and Trevor.

I'm pretty sure the color was considered a Burnt Orange. Frame size was 
58.5cm square c-c, def a bit lower than I like. There were some paint flaws 
down near the seat tube bottle bosses that were sanded away, visible in the 
naked frame photos.

I have nothing against simplicity, but I think I like the curlier head lugs 
on the '95 Road better than the simpler lines on the Starck.

Thanks for linking it, Peter. If Trevor has it now, it went from Peter to 
me to Trevor.

Peter asked me earlier offlist if the frame had been a little small for me, 
and looking at my notes on the frame dims I said probably not. But now 
looking at the built pix on flickr, yeah, definitely closer to "a little 
too little" for me.

All I've managed with the new Starck Riv so far is a coupla round-the-block 
sweeps, which it handled nicely. I detected slight notes of lemongrass,

Hi Joel
Are you talking a work stand or display stand. I have a couple of Nitto display 
stands that are quite nice but designed for 120 or 126 rear hubs so a bit of a 
wrestle to install. I also picked up a couple of Minoura stands that are newer 
so more readily fit modern bikes. More convenient but certainly a trade off on

I have the very old stands that Rivendell sold years ago, not very stable. 
 I’d like either 1 double or 2 single bike holders, floor style to keep my

[RBW] WTB 62cm QB

2020-09-24 Thread Dave Grossman
I will make a final appeal for a 62cm QB before I go and grab a BMC Monster 
Cross canti. Matt is riding my old 58, which was way too small. I had what 
I thought was 62cm last winter but that ended up being a 64cm and Reid 
ended up with it after I bought it. Anyhow, if anyone has one they are 
looking to move, let me know.  Otherwise, I am close to giving up to 
finding one of these until Riv reissues the single speed!

[RBW] Re: Sam Standover Hieghts for 51 & 55

2020-09-24 Thread aeroperf

This should be a fun thread.

My 2015 Sam 55 Cm has a measured SOH of 830mm with 700x42 Conti SpeedRide 
tires, unloaded.
That is not the max tire.  It came from Riv with Conti TourRide 700x48 
tires, and if I had not wanted fenders, I could have probably fit something 
even bigger.

It has a Rivendell listed SOH of 833mm.  Tire not listed, but max tire size 
listed at 700x44.
It has a Bikeinsights.com computed SOH of 833mm with 700x46 tires listed.

I also have a Riv geometry chart that includes a 56 cm Sam with SOH listed 
at 834mm for a max tire of 700x45.

Since I rotate my tires annually, and then reset my odometer over a 
measured course, I can tell you that two supposedly identical tires of the 
same brand/model can have a difference in height of 5.2mm (At least.  
That’s just what I have had to reset the odometer for).  Figure that half 
of that could make its way into SOH.
And that is at a constant tire pressure of 70 psi.  When I went to 50 psi 
for ride quality, I had to reset the odometer again, though not by nearly 
as much.

So for my Sam, actual standover height is not just a function of frame 
geometry but also tire size, tire brand, tire pressure and random 
manufacturing tolerances.  I just use 830 mm.

Got shipping notification for my Atlantis yesterday! I'm beyond excited. 

I'll post a pic when it gets here...I'd do a full list of components now, 
but honestly I went with what Vince picked out and my only input was that I 
didn't need a saddle, I wanted the front of the Choco bar taped up, and 
that I wanted inboard thumb shifters. 

Should be ready to pick up at UPS Customer Center on Tuesday after work. 
Cooler weather coming to Omaha should make for a lovely commute next 
Wednesday morning!

 So I filed the stop on the Paragon hanger, and tomorrow will consider 
 grinding off a wee bit of the integrated, non-adjustable "B stop" tab.

Hey Corwin I sent payment on the Nitto stems not realizing they were 26.0 
clamp. I'd like to actually pass on these if it's not too late.

[RBW] Sam Standover Hieghts for 51 & 55

2020-09-24 Thread RDS
For those who own a 51 or 55 Sam, what is the standover height for each 
size?  List tire size used for this measurement and note if it is the max 
tire size.  In general, how much could the standover height change based on 
tire size?

Re: [RBW] Re: Bluelug/Nitto Losco Bar

2020-09-24 Thread Paul Budnitz
Hi Joe!!

Was thinking about your note.

You are right the Losco bars make no sense except they look awesome.

But for me making your bicycle look the way you want it to (and perform just 
right too) can be half the fun.

The tension between trying to make a bike both ride and look great is part of 
the challenge, and why I love bikes so much.

Bicycles are one of the last things left on earth you can build up out of 
individual components made, all by different people, and make something truly 
individual and your own.
