Re: [RBW] Re: A Hunq

[Adam Moss]

I have a 53cm Hunq. I believe it's the most recently built Hunqapillar, 
built in 2019 by Steve Rex in Sacramento as a kind of one of 
thing- https://www.instagram.com/p/ByGJjRtn1ED/

It's a bit of an amalgamation of some of their most recent frame designs 
and I'm just smitten. It's become my only bike (other than the FS MTB and 
the family hauler) and I am never left wanting. The Hunq owners club is a 
good one to be a part of.

[RBW] FS Sackville Bags, flaps, rolls

[Alex Wirth- Owner, Yellow Haus Bicycles]

Hi All!
I came across a box of sackville stuff after a recent move.  This is all 
brand new never used (we used to own a shop that sold Rivs).  Looks like 
most of this is out of stock, so might be your lucky day if you've been 
waiting   :-)

Here's a list:

(1) Blue trunk sack $105
(2) Grey trunk sacks $105 each
(1) Blue xsmall saddle sack $70
(7) Blue flaps $15 each
(2) Olive flaps $15 each
(1) Brown flap $15
(1) Tool wrap (second pic shows back color) $40
Pics to follow

I will ship USPS priority conus actual cost.  Friends and family paypal is 
appreciated but not necessary if we don't know each other.  Cashapp also 
works. 

Cheers!!

[RBW] Re: WTB Quickbeam Frameset

[Doug H.]

Bill,
I briefly owned a Wabi Classic single speed that seemed to be quality 
built, with 725 Reynolds tubing. But, the ride wasn't satisfactory as it 
had short chain stays and a short overall wheelbase. It was a fun quick 
ride but in the end I sold it. Good luck with your search for a Rivendell 
SS frameset.

Re: [RBW] Show me some bikes with black components

The less black the better, on my bicycles. But I'll tolerate 
painted/anodized black more than dull "silver" painted parts, which just 
look awful next to polished aluminum and steel bits. Two examples, on my 
new ride, are the Surly Singleator and front brake stay. And yes, the 
Rohloff twister is just an ugly thing, nothing I can do about that right 
now. Might replace with a knurled lightweight aluminum knob when I get time 
to make one.

Re: [RBW] Show me some bikes with black components

[David Person]

For me, whether or not black components work on a bike depends a lot on the 
frame color.

Re: [RBW] Re: A Hunq

[Geir Bentzen]

I have a 62 cm green Hunq that I bought from Riv in 2014. I believe I was 
told the frame came from Waterford at that time. Ordered in April 2014 and 
delivered July 10. I have Nitto Noodles on and use the bike as much as 
possible. It's a pleasant ride, though I may change the Noodles out to 
something more upright as I grow older. I am in my early sixties already.

 The

 It's also set up for quick swaps in case I want to use Bullmoose bars that

Not a Rivendell but here’s my Kelly Roshambo (now with black pedals). The bike

[RBW] Re: Opinions re Roadeo colors

[Paul G]

I don't have a cream-accented Rivendell to compare directly to my Roadeo, 
but on its own, one would call it white (with red accents), not cream. In 
reality, it is an off white that was selected specifically to soften the 
overall look of the bike just a tad. I confirmed this with Mark Abele at 
Rivendell. I also have a bottle of Roadeo White directly from Waterford. It 
matches the bike nicely and is indeed an off white. I think most would call 
my bike "white" rather than "cream".

 Hey Scott, thanks for the clarification.  Yeah, I saw it on TPC listed 
 as a Rodeo (I thought it was listed recently but maybe not).  I figured it 
 was custom and thought maybe Waterford.  I saw the fork braze-on but 
 didn't 
 catch the larger tire capacity.  Perhaps more like a Ramb then or even 
 stouter yet.  Great paint either way.  
 curious: are you saying you bought it from TPC recently and returned it 
 to them?  Or you bought it new from Riv and returned to Riv a while back . 
 . . and that it wound up at TPC later on.

Re: [RBW] Show me some bikes with black components

Maybe Bill Lindsay will show his Amethyst Smoke Legolas with black 
components. I love that bike and the build he chose for it. (I love most of 
Bill's bikes and the builds he chooses for them.)

[RBW] Re: hanging bikes on the wall

[Roberta]

Hi, Minh.

I have two racks.  One is in my living room (see pic, a Craigslist 
purchase), the other in my Breezeway.  The rack in the breezeway is a Delta 
"lean on the wall" model.  Not as secure, but also the feet don't stick out 
as much, so less tripping hazard as I walk (slink) by.  Also, I keep the 
bottom bike on the floor for both racks.

For living room rack, notice how top bike goes in opposite direction of 
lower bike and the arm for the seat-end is higher than the arm of the 
handlebar end?  That is so I don't have to lift it as high to get the top 
tire to clear the bottom handlebar.  

Also, it's a big help to keep the front tire from moving.  I use a John's 
Irish strap to lash it to the down tube.  When lifting , I go as low as I 
can on the down tube and seat tube.  I lift it in a different part of the 
living room, usually just back a few feet (where I have more room to wobble 
it around) and then walk it up and to the rack.

In the breezeway, a step-stool helps because I don't have as much 
working-room.  I also use a step stool in the LR when I'm feeling 
especially tired.

To make lifting easier, I also remove the bags and water bottles, which 
saves a few pounds.   Who needs a gym?

I wish I had a better pic of this, I bet someone does. But this Platypus built

[RBW] Show me some bikes with black components

[Eric Marth]

I'm pretty sure that I dislike black components on bikes. Oh, I can handle 
a black derailer or some brakes, I guess. But all black stem, bars, 
seatpost, crank, etc is, I'm thinking, not my cup of tea. I'm more of a 
decaf espresso type. 

Any who — can anyone share with me pictures of nice builds with black 
components? 

With gratitude,

[RBW] Re: Opinions re Roadeo colors

[Bill Lindsay]

Jim S asked something about shades of white.  I don't know which photos of 
which bikes you are referring to, but my cream with red Roadeo has the same 
cream color as the head tube of my other Rivendells.  At least close enough 
that they appear identical to me.  I imagine there may be an actual WHITE 
Rivendell photographed on the internet somewhere.  The two photos I linked 
in my initial response were:

1. a shot of my own cream and red Roadeo.  I think the cream looks cream, 
especially when compared with the WHITE HED logo on the rims.  
2. a shot of my own Amethyst Smoke with cream Legolas.  The cream of that 
headtube matches the cream of my cream and Red Roadeo.

 For the record, it is not a Roadeo and was mis-labeled as such by TPC. It 
 is a Rivendell custom built by Mark Nobilette. I loved the color, but it 
 was build quite stout and more loaded touring oriented IMO. It was not the 
 light lively ride I was hoping for from a Roadeo so I returned it. It also 
 used long, rather than medium reach brakes so I would fit relatively huge 
 tires.

[RBW] Re: hanging bikes on the wall

[Coal Bee Rye Anne]

I use one of these: 
https://designbydelta.com/collections/bike-racks/products/two-bike-wall-mount-rack-with-shelf
 
...in a small condo and mine is high and above my desk now that I'm full 
time work from home.  Rack height was set as a compromise with just enough 
wiggle room between saddle/bars and ceiling and least amount of tire 
overlap from my monitor (since the moniter is set back and my tire droops 
in the corner slightly.  I'm also 6'5" and not so much of a challenge to 
lift it over the desk but one trick I've learned from using roof top fork 
mounted racks that helps get the bike up is squatting and grabbing from 
middle of the fork blade and seatstay or seattube to get the top tube up 
and over.  Additional support comes from a velcro strap I use to first 
secure the front wheel in place to the downtube so I'm not simultaneously 
trying to stabilize the fork during the lift.  My spouse is much shorter 
than I and cannot reach the high rack, but I usually keep her spare bike on 
the rear part of this 2 bike rack with my lightest grab and go bike on the 
outermost mount.

Also some similar options listed here and other/similar articles elsewhere 
on the web:
https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/best-bike-rack-257678

There were also, at some point in time when I last explored this exact 
subject some years ago, small batch made to order mahogany (and/or other 
hardwoods) floating shelves at a premium cost but appeared to be of solid 
build/quality design and construction but I cannot recall the website and 
current search turns up no hits... although I found some NYMag article that 
links to a mix of 'cyclist approved racks' and a similarly inspired CB2 
version wood shelf that now appears to also be non-existant and doesn't 
appear nearly as sturdy as the other bespoke one I've seen anyway.  I 
always figured I'd eventually make my own bike specific version but the 
Delta version has otherwise served me well with our current arrangement.

Ah, found it (the costly wood one... thought it had 'knife' in there 
somewhere, then thought Knife & File... must have confused that with Torch 
& File https://www.torchandfile.com/ from prior internet rabbit holes!)

[RBW] Re: Opinions re Roadeo colors

[Jim S.]

Thanks for all the responses. I think I like all the colors.

Bill Lindsay: the cream-with-red-or-blue Roadeos apppear white to to me. 
Perhaps the difference doesn't show up in the photos? Are these Roadeos the 
same cream as the headtube cream on other Rivs?
