I just bought a Randi Jo Bartender Plus on Leah's recommendation. And, 
Randi Jo wrote a nice message included with the shipment welcoming me as a 
customer. I really like supporting small businesses and made in the USA 
products. I highly recommend Randi Jo products.

 Secret Platy is shipping soon, but meanwhile the olive Backabike bags 
 (that I hope will be perfect) have arrived. They look gray with a green

 bike is going places!

 Liz,

 Your story is so exciting.  You've happily ridden a fabulous bike for 
 15 years and now it's time for a change up.  Isn't the Clem L marvelous?  
 I've only ridden one for a short ride or two, but it was smooth, like a 
 Cadillac.  I know it's "heavy" but it sure doesn't ride heavy.  I have a 
 Platy for my step through and retirement (in a few years) bike, and if I 
 had more room, I'd love to have a Clem L, too.  

 So, welcome to the board and to being a RivSister!  Many happy miles of 
 smiles, and be sure to post a bike picture if you can.

Re: [RBW] Thinning the herd.

[Peter Adler]

Yes, but Ahmed's second point still stands. You have sizes listed for the 
Rivs that you aren't selling, but you'll get greater interest in the bikes 
you *are* selling if you post the sizes (and prices, and specific photos 
for each bike; not just a view of the top tube as it hangs from the wall).

Peter Adler
maybe the Gitane or the Paramount, but not without sizes/prices/pictures - 
does RBWOB have a "post price" requirement?

Too much HGTV and family clothing business influences.  

 Leah, will you be getting a RandiJo water bottle holder?

Re: [RBW] Re: Secret Platy

That's a good eye, Roberta. I never would have picked up the green in the 
goldilocks bag and brass on the Backabikes, and how they pick up other 
colors on the bike. Everything ties together and it's all spectacular!

Re: [RBW] Re: Secret Platy

[Roberta]

Those bags look great together.  You have the offset of the bright gold in 
the Ron's bag (and the bright lime green on the hardware), with the more 
subdued green.  Also,  the same greens are in the flower petals of the 
Goldilocks bag as are the bike a back bags.  And, the brass on the bike a 
back bags suggests the gold of the Goldilocks bag.The color scheme 
works so well.   You'll be hauling groceries in no time!

[Jason Glenn]

If I hadn't just bought a 2011 Homer two and a half months ago, I would be 
all over this.  And as much as I absolutely LOVE my Homer, I find myself 
tempted here.  It's really a beauty!!!

Good luck with the sale, I'm sure someone will snap it up.

Re: [RBW] Re: Bike storage solutions: 5 or 6 bikes, fenders

[Roberta]

Leah,

What is especially exiting to me is that everyone in your family has a Riv 
or two--or three :) --and they all get ridden.  A lot.  I have two nearly 
perfect Rivs, even though I'd be happy with just one perfect bike.  You 
were the one who said to me "what will you do when your Riv is in the shop 
unless you have a backup?!", so I have two, and no garage. Vertical storage 
is the only way to go for me.

I have the non-rugged Delta version in my breezeway.  I especially like 
that it has two long Independent arms that move both up and down, and 
horizontally to the side.  Having this wider horizontal area for the bikes 
to sit on helps with balancing the bikes on the rack.  The arms are well 
padded.  I've been able to put my step though on this rack, but it was 
easier if I first installed a horizontal bar they sell for hanging bike 
racks.  Even so, I now only place my diamond shape frames on the top.  Too 
difficult to get the mixte up there.

My suggestion if you get this one is to build out about 6" from the wall 
where you'll be anchoring the top of the stand. This is because the Riv 
handlebars are wider than expected and if you don't do this, the handlebars 
might rub on the wall.  Stick with the rugged version.  The non-rugged one 
works, but isn't very stable and one time one arm holding the bulk of the 
weight of my mixte gave way and the bike fell.

I also have a freestanding rack named Wrench Force in my living room. I 
think this is the one (I got mine from Craigslist):  
https://www.rei.com/product/710081/feedback-sports-velo-cache-2-bike-rack?sku=7100810014=37_mmc=PLA_Google%7C2170001700551_7100810014%7C92700064573159264%7CNB%7C7170074090541=Cj0KCQiAlMCOBhCZARIsANLid6a4Dd3xvzdmfxs9bxIvg2ps-rWl2c_6Q3QkZEujQNWIfRNCsPqTOuoaApwSEALw_wcB=aw.ds
 
  This has three independent leveling legs.  The independent arms to hold 
the bike are very strong and are moved and held in place by with screws in 
two channels in the back of the column.  I can place this a few inches from 
the wall to get the clearance I need for the handlebars.  One negative I 
see is that the arms are set at a certain distance apart and you cannot 
move  them horizontally.  This makes putting the mixte  on there 
difficult.  (My Platy is on the floor, but if I decide to put it on this 
rack, I'd use the crossbar for hanging racks.)  I don't think that is a big 
negative; it's just a smaller area to use to help level your bike weight.  
Also, the spot to hold the bike isn't very soft, so I put pipe insulation 
on the bike to protect the paint.  If I was smarter, I'd put the pipe 
insulation on the arm indentation for an "always ready" hoisting of the 
bike.

So, which is better?  For me, in my 3' wide breezeway, where I need to walk 
past my bikes multiple times a day, the Delta winds hands down, because it 
doesn't stick out very far.  That also makes it less stable.  Now that i 
know there is a rugged version, I might get that one.However, the 
Wrench force wins hands down for strength, stability and versatility. You 
can put it anywhere; it doesn't have to be against the wall.   I originally 
bought this for my breezeway as a replacement for the Delta.  However, what 
helps make it stable (long legs) also would cause me to trip over it as I 
walk by the bikes.  That's actually why it and the bikes are in the living 
room, instead of the breezeway--it's so good I don't want to get rid of 
it.  

Thanks and good luck, and lots of fun, with your goal of an uncluttered 
garage in Michigan.

Re: [RBW] Re: Bike storage solutions: 5 or 6 bikes, fenders

[Patrick Moore]

FWIW, since the video mentioned a 2.5" size limit the standard Delta hook
size (non-fatbike) takes the 70 mm wide -- actual -- tires on the monocog,
though it's squeeze.

The rubber padding does get torn; I replaced it with ~6" sections of garden
hose, which works well.

[RBW] Longshot: WTB 60cm Bombadil

[Michael Williams]

Hello group,  this is a super longshot but just wondering if anyone has a 60cm 
Bombadil that isn’t getting ridden much.   I’d be interested in purchasing. I 
don’t think many of these were made but they’ve always been of interest.   
Thanks!   -Mike

Re: [RBW] Re: Bike storage solutions: 5 or 6 bikes, fenders

[Patrick Moore]

+ 1 for hooks on the wall. properly spaced. I've used J hooks, but switched
to bike-specific hooks on plates that screw to a solid ~2" X 12" plank
bolted to the studs. The heavy plank lets me mount the hooks securely and
far enough to match bar width.

I have my 5 hooks spaced so that all bikes can hang from the rear wheels --
easier to lift and hook the rear wheel than the front, IME. The front wheel
of the longest bike is about 6" from the floor when hung. (Note: the
heaviest bike is about 31 lb, and it's not hard to lift and hang it.
Certainly if you can lift a Platypus or Clem over your head, you can hang
one by the wheel from a hook.)

FWIW, I also installed fiberboard backing that extends about 6" beyond the
bikes in each direction to prevent black tire marks on off-white walls. The
brown fiberboard is ugly, but not as ugly as smudged walls.

I use the Delta Leonardo hooks, which have doubled in price since I bought
mine some 5-6-7 years ago.

Jeremy as I am roughly doing a similar search, it looks like SOMA fab shop 
offers a Nitto UI-12 quill stem( in stock)  in 60mm length in 72* or 90*.   Im 
thinking the 90* has a rise of 18*.   Can’t figure that out.-Mike

I hang bikes in the garage on horizontal hooks using Rubbermaid's FastTrack 
system. Wide handlebars are an issue, though. It works, but the hb's have 
to be turned, so the front wheel sticks out, and fenders can make that a 
worse problem.

In my basement I use j-hooks in a 2x4 that is bolted the wall about 6' off 
the floor. Bikes with fenders hang from their back wheels, so I don't have 
the rear fender scraping the floor problem. It does, however require some 
agility and strength, especially for heavier bikes.

The rack you showed in the picture shows 6 bikes very tightly packed. 
That's only possible with relatively narrow handlebars and alternating 
between front and rear wheel hanging. The nice thing about setting J-hooks 
in a 2x4 is you can pick your width, allowing greater distance between 
bikes for wider bars. That also helps with hanging the bikes from the rear 
wheel, as it gives you space to stand at the side of the bike as you hang 
it, rather than having to try manage it straight on. I stand next to the 
bike, near the wall, and pick up the bike at the seat tube near the bottom 
bracket. I swing the back of the bike up, leaving the front wheel on the 
floor, and using the seat stay near the rear hub to help balance and lift. 
My hooks are higher than they need to be, so I have to lift the bike a bit 
higher to get the rim on the hook.

That IS nice. Chris Dekerf builds frames too. Canadian eh! I  remember 
seeing a couple of nice fillet-brazed frames in the late nineties in a shop 
owned by a good friend of mine.

Re: [RBW] Re: Bombadil on its Archetypal Route (loads of photos)

['Paul Germain' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Very nice Jason! That model Rivendell is becoming the "classic". Fully lugged, 
details, "standard" chain stays, etc. To boot, it's bombproof and has room for 
wide tires. 
Of course, "classic" is a moving target. Expectations for a frame change over 
time and parts for older bikes get harder to obtain, pushing some older 
"classics" into the realm of "vintage". But unlike carbon, it takes decades for 
that transition.

That is a stunning paint job, Jason.  It looks beautiful.  Can't wait to see 
ride reports once its all built up!

It's not quite done, so I should really wait until it is... but it might be a 
couple weeks for the last parts to show up and I am not that patient. 

Here's the same old Bombadil with a fresh coat and assortment of new parts. 
Feels like new bike day, even though it's technically not!  Bars will be 
wrapped with light grey padded Newbaums. Dual grey Riv fender flaps, and the 
rear Motolite are now installed (not pictured).  It was painted by Chris 
Dekerf, two coats of clearcoat, full lug detailing, addition of Rene Herse tail 
light. It was not cheaper than what Joe Bell would have charged, and it's also 
up to Joe's level of quality. 

2022 is going to be a heck of a year for this Bombadil, if all goes according 
to plan!

Sorry to hear about the fender mishap.
I'm running 2.1 knobbies under Tanaka 68mm fenders with the PDW safety tabs. 
I'm curious if anyone's had incidents with the safety tab setup? I caught a bit 
of stuff in the front wheel a few weeks ago and the tabs released, the wheel 
didn't lock, and I was fine. That made me feel better, but I'm still totally 
ready to abandon the combination.

I tried no fenders for a bit but just couldn't deal with the amount of mess 
after every ride.

Keeping the front wheel off the ground is definitely an elegant solution.

Jason,
Sorry about your fender incident. As someone else said, those PDW Safety Tabs 
will help you regain your confidence. I've been using them for about 6 years. 
Though I haven't gotten a stick or rock caught while riding, I once dropped the 
front of the bike onto the rear of the front fender with the wheel removed 
while loading it into the van. 
The safety tab worked just as it should and I was able to pop it back into 
place, no harm done.

Ever since I had the stick wedged in the front fender situation, which tossed

problem entirely.  

(No new front fender yet - maybe this'll be a fenderless bike for a bit?  
Unclear. One thing's for sure: I keep riding it)
