[RBW] Re: Moving shift levers from downtube to stem

[Wayne Naha]

Thanks for all your input folks.  @KenP, I have a pair of vintage friction 
bolt of shifters, and the clamp that held them on the downtube.  But the 
clamp diameter is a lot bigger than my stem.  Maybe I can find a clamp 
meant for the stem?  I appreciate what you say about the IRD mount's 
fragility.  @Joe Bernard, I think picking up a cheap pair of levers might 
be what I end up doing

[RBW] riv water bottles

[Jingy]

Any idea when the last time was that Riv sold water bottles? 
I would like some, but haven't seen any on the site in a couple of years.
Is it because of Grant's "you don't need water on most rides" stance?

[RBW] Re: NBD (New Bike Delayed)

[Philip Barrett]

UPS & Fedex are dealing with significant system wide delays right now, it's 
affecting us at work & my Bikeflights shipment of last week was delayed 3 
days too. Fedex have gone from being the carrier of record to 2nd choice at 
best.

It also showed up with heavy damage to the packaging, fortunately I bought 
the insurance so when I finally get back to the house I'll see what 
survived & what didn't. Bikeflights responded to my initial email within 10 
minutes with a real human being no less so I'm hopeful for a good outcome 
either way.

Re: [RBW] NBD (New Bike Delayed)

[Paul Brodek]

Oooof, yeah, best wishes for a uneventful outcome.

I had probably the minty-est complete vintage bike I'd ever bought run into 
dark clouds shipped via FedEx from Birmingham, AL to Jersey. Package got 
late, tracking showed the box going back and forth between AL and the FedEx 
Memphis hub 3 times. 3 times. As if there clearly was a serious problem, 
and neither the origin nor the hub wanted to take responsibility. It 
finally arrived in new packaging, two large square boxes piled on top of 
each other and taped together to form a vertical box, the right size/shape 
for a refriderator, The bike was stuffed inside, sitting wheelie-style on 
the back wheel, fork at about my eyelevel, with the front wheel and some 
other parts basically just tossed inside, loose and rattling around.

The bad news was the horror show that greeted me when I opened the box. The 
good news was although it no longer looked unused/unridden, the frame only 
picked up a couple/few small marks, and only the rims needed replacing. It 
could have been considerably worse. Fork got pretty tweaked, but Peter 
Weigle straightened that out. Seller's discount for all the damage/trouble 
covered all the work.

So FedEx trashes stuff, too, and for Marty, things can look/sound pretty 
ugly but still turn out OK. Keep yer fingers crossed, keep yer eyes on yer 
lucky stars. While I try to steal yer Lucky Charms! Sorry, St. Patty's 
day's just around the corner.

[RBW] Re: FS 56 MUSA Atlantis 650b Great Condition.

[Jonathan D.]

I added some more photos and details of the bike.  There are some small 
scratches that I tried to capture.  I would say the bike looks in very good 
shape but it isn't pristine.  Has the type of scratches, dirt you would 
expect from a very well maintained bike used mostly on roads. 

The picture of the saddle height is at 72 in one pic, at the request of 
someone on the list.  I forgot to measure standover but I would expect 
81-82 cm.  I'll drop the asking price to $2000.  If I don't get anyone that 
is interesting in a couple of weeks I'll think about selling a partial 
build.

 Thanks Doug. You are right it needs more information.  I can't find 
 the MUSA Geometry chart but I am confident someone has it.  I think it 
 is 
 similar to the Toyo Atlantis but with longer chain stays - I want to 
 say 
 47-48 mm for Waterford, versus 52 range for the new MIT version, and 
 45 for 
 the Toyo.

 Here is an old listing that the previous bike mechanic posted I 
 traded for it. I traded a 58 Atlantis that Doug connected me with and 
 I 
 bought from the list. I rode it maybe 200 miles since I traded for it, 
 mostly because of Covid and very little bike commuting. 

 It has Nitto Noodle bars, Shimano brakes, bar ends but not Shimano 
 (can't tell name), Origin Seatpost but probably have a Nitto and can 
 look, 
 Brooks C17 but could trade it for a leather B17, Cx-70 Canti Brakes, 
 Sugino 
 Crank triple, 9 speed cassette, Deore Rear derailleur, and Pasela 42 
 mm 
 tires. The Wheels are Velocity Atlas wheels, Atlas rims with Velocity 
 Hubs. 
 Everything looks in great shape.  I found one small paint chip on the 
 top 
 tube and will add a picture when the sun is shining.

 I would love to sell to someone local.  These bikes are hard to 
 price.  I'll drop to $2250 plus shipping. Happy to talk build and 
 price.  I 
 don't want to part out, because of the hassle of selling each part.  I 
 have 
 enough parts.

 I am not in a rush to sell and if I don't sell this one, I might 
 try selling a 55 Joe Appaloosa or Some Grand Randeneur.

[RBW] Re: Moving shift levers from downtube to stem

[lconley]

I think a Shimano bar end shifter spacer (Rivendell sells them) and a 
little work with a Dremel tool or file may work for aligning the shifter 
with the hole. 
Not sure what the inner diameter of your shifter looks like - not sure if 
the internally threaded part needs to be longer or not, or if you can use a 
longer machine screw/bolt from the other end.
