[RBW] Re: FS: Frame - Susie W. Longbolts / Wolbis Slugstone 53cm!

[Mark Roland]

That's a really nice deal on a new bike that is out of stock. Plus bonus 
parts. Plus, lest we forget, it's also a Wolbis Slugstone (see ye olde head 
badge)!

I got my 56 Susie last week and just took it out of the box yesterday.  
What a sweet frame, beautiful fillet brazing and lots of fun details. I am 
determined to build the wheels this weekend after overhauling and adjusting 
the hubs.

Re: [RBW] silver shifter slip under load

[JohnS]

I second the N+1 for the cassette cog count to the chain. I have a Shimano 
9 speed cassette and a 10 speed SRAM chain ( PC-1031), work very well 
together with my Suntour down tube shifters. RD shifter stays put, but the 
FD shifter comes loose with frequent shifting. I just keep tightening the D 
ring, may switch to the Silver DT shifters. We'll see.

[RBW] Morning coffee; need a new Riv mug

[steve]

What can I say.  When a coffee mug meets a tile floor at high speed; the 
floor wins and you can’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again.  The 
Rivendell coffee mug was my favorite way to enjoy a cup of coffee in the 
morning.  Does anyone have one they aren’t using and would be willing to 
sell?

Re: [RBW] '71 Raleigh Pro Track 650b Conversion

[Patrick Moore]

That's nice. Yes, the Technomic looks better than a rise stem. Do the 32 mm
tires put the pedals at risk of striking in corners? My Riv fixies were
built with large bb drop and, when I used to ride 650C X 22 mm (actual
width) tires -- 24 1/2" tall -- I'd clip my KEOs in corners if I wasn't
careful. Now I'm using slightly taller 559 X 24.8" tires with slightly more
compact Dura Ace SPD pedals, but I still have to be careful.

For those of you who haven't seen it, here's an even more extreme, but not
nearly as pretty, track bike with wheel conversion:

[RBW] Re: '71 Raleigh Pro Track 650b Conversion

[Ray]

Amazing photographs and beautiful bike. This looks like a really fun and 
creative build. I would have never thought to 650b a vintage track bike, 
but it looks so natural here. Well done.

Also that bike looks too be in amazing condition for how old it is. Did you 
have any issues with paint? I have a 1974 Raleigh Pro track, and for some 
inexplicable reason the paint is chipping on the headtube and only the 
headtube... no rust or anything, clean chrome underneath, just falling 
right off. No clue why.

[RBW] '71 Raleigh Pro Track 650b Conversion

[Paul Brodek]

Don't think I posted this here before? Got the frame last winter, 650b'd it 
in early covid days, just updated/finalized it with new/old neo-retro 650b 
wheels.

Picked up this '71 Raleigh Pro Track frameset over the winter, planning to 
keep it as vintage as possible. First short shakedown ride was all vintage, 
and was pretty horrible. Bars were too narrow, with too deep a drop, the 
Campy NR brake lever body felt tiny, and with no rear brake having to dive 
down for the Campy lever was a little scary. So I immediately modernized 
the cockpit with wider bars, an aero lever and a 'cross lever. As much as 
I'd like to see a non-aero lever with some housing loops and swoops, 
full-on '70s, I'm reluctant to go there without a rear brake. Last basic 
piece of the cockpit puzzle was a Cane Creek tandem dummy lever for the 
right/rear side, which makes the bars a bit comfier and helps my upper body 
feel more balanced. As a bonus, from certain angles, the dummy lever looks 
a lot like Futurama's Dr. Zoidberg. 

Didn't have any vintage track wheels for the first build, so I used a set 
of on-hand, older Grand Cru 700c track wheels. They look vintage-ish, all 
silver with narrow rims. 26mm was about as wide as I could go on the tires, 
with pinch points both under the fork crown and between the chainstays. 
Tried Vittoria Corsa 28-622, which were around 26.5mm on the narrow Grand 
Cru rims. Definitely maxed out width-wise. 

That all gave me a fast and smooth ride, but definitely a bit harsh, 
especially for a fixed gear, where lifting off the saddle to coast/float 
over rough stuff isn't very effective. Can't let your legs get all relaxed 
and bump-absorbing springy when they have to keep spinning. 

So, whilst first hiding from the 'rona in my basement in March, I decided 
to try a 650b build, using a set of Paul/Velocity Synergy fixed/track 
wheels I had on hand. Which also look vintage-ish, with highish flanges on 
the Paul hubs, but still not the Real Deal. 

Grand Bois Cypres 32-584 tires fit fine front/rear. Looks like 38s would 
fit OK in the front, but would be too tight at the chainstays. Plenty of 
room under the seatstay bridge and behind the chainstay bridge. If I ever 
decide to get the frame tweaked, it'd be neat to bump the stays to fit 38s, 
and drill the seatstay bridge for a rear caliper. But I feel like it's too 
pretty to mess with. The unforgivable tyranny of beauty! 

First geared it 42x16, just under 70", then got a 41t TA ring from Peter 
White, to get the wheel a little further back in the drops, for better tire 
clearance. 

Brake reach is just over 60mm, so most normal-reach vintage sidepulls won't 
quite reach without modification. I lengthened the slots on a Suntour 
Superbe caliper, which worked OK, but I really wanted a Campy caliper to go 
with the rest of the Campy stuff. Got a normal-/long-reach Campy NR brake 
caliper, filed away the bottom of the slots, and used biggish washers on 
both sides of the arm to help increase the contact/clamping-force area. The 
shoes don't hit ribber, and I don't think they'll self-eject, but I 
wouldn't recommend this to others. I've got room to use a drop bolt, but 
they're hard to find for front/nutted, and it's a more visible kludge. A 
period-appropriate centerpull would be more solid, and maybe not look 
totally out of place, but that would mean a cable hanger/stop, andnot 
Campy. 

The bike stayed in that state since March, with me pining for a 650b 
wheelset with Campy high-flange track hubs. A few things came together, and 
yesterday I got a set of neo-retro wheels from Earle Young. Earle used my 
Campy 36h high-flange road hubs on new Pacenti Brevet 650b rims, with new 
spokes. Then I did a relatively painless road>track axle conversion on the 
hubs. The tires get about 1mm wider on the Brevets, still decent clearance 
at the chainstays, with the wheel further back in the drops. The Brevets 
look more vintage than the Synergys, and they don't have any tire-seating 
issues. If you're around vintage wheels a lot, the wider profile does look 
a little different, but I think that's less an issue with 650b than with 
700c. I have a 700c set for my Hetchins, next up.

I also went back to a 7-style stem, Nitto Technomic, instead of the 
upjutting tig'd Nitto, mainly for vintage looks. Had to fool around with 
bottle cage and cross lever to get everything to fit. 

So other than the possibility of a different brake caliper to be named 
later, I consider it done.

Hoping to actually get a ride on it this weekend.

[RBW] FS: Frame - Susie W. Longbolts / Wolbis Slugstone 53cm!

[☆ Paul ☆]

Hello Everyone!

I have a beautiful BLUE Susie W. Longbolts frame for sale in the (now sold 
out) 53cm size. 

Comes with a 73cm square taper Shimano 113 BB installed, which will pair 
perfectly with most Sugino or Rivendell cranks. If you need a seatpost I am 
happy to throw in a new 26.8 Rivendell Seatpost as well, as I have an extra 
here.

(Susies don't come with seatpost of bottom bracket like other Riv frames, 
Will told me it's because they figure some people might want to use modern 
cranks).

You can see images here 

.

Price is $1500 and I'll ship it anywhere in the continental US for free. 
Trying to keep the price fair as this board has been such a useful source 
of advice for me!

Nothing bad to say about the Susie! Received the frame new a few weeks ago 
from Rivendell, figured as a replacement for the Atlantis that I use as a 
gravel/dirt road bike. After building it up and riding the Susie a dozen 
miles (on Asphalt) I realized I just prefer the Atlantis — I'm probably 
just used to my old bike. We live in town now, and I have limited storage 
so can't keep it for fun as I'd wish.

The frame is in perfect condition besides being built up once and ridden 
for a few hours. I'm a fairly experienced builder, and mainly tested the 
bike on the road. There are no scuffs or marks I can find. I don't think 
this Susie would come off as anything but brand new once it is built it up 
by you!

Images attached, LMK if you've questions. :)

Much love,

Paul

[RBW] Re: (Best) metal fenders for Joe Appa?

[Bill Lindsay]

If you ever ride off-pavement with fenders, particularly with knobbies, 
please consider some kind of breakaway stay mount for the front (or both 
fenders).  The Portland Design Works ones may be the nicest, but the 
Berthoud plastic clips are good also.

[RBW] Re: Sugino Granny Gear

[John Rinker]

The granny and I had a bet to see who would wear the other one out first, 
and I'm a stubborn bastard! May have been grinding up and down the 
Himalayas for a couple of years. 

I'd definitely be in for one of those stainless grannies, but shipping to 
Japan may not be wise considering it was probably made somewhere 
hereabouts. 

 Cheers.

 Good afternoon,

 Can anyone shed light on whether the granny gear on the Sugino triple 
 crank is symmetrical and therefore reversable?

 Thanks.
