[RBW] Re: FS: 54cm Roadini formerly owned by Grant Petersen

[Ezra Ewen]

I'll also include a free Silver2 thumb shifter mount and a 90mm Nitto 
Technomic if you want something taller than the mounted Pearl stem.

[RBW] FS: Heat treated Albatross bars, Blue lug 25.4 threadless stem, 90mm generic 31.8 stem

[Andrew Turner]

I got some goodies to convert drop bars to alt bars but it made the bike a 
little too stable so I'm just going to sell the stuff off. All of it is 
brand new, so not the craziest deals but nothing's full-price either and 
INCLUDES the cost of shipping (CONUS). 

1) Heat treated Albatross bars: $120   
2) Generic UNO threadless -17degree 90mm 31.8 stem with removed graphics: 
$35 
3) This  
stem from BlueLug: 25.4 clamp, 1-1/8 black threadless 80mm: $100 (Came to 
$115 after shipping, and it hasn't shipped yet so there will be a little 
wait on this one)   

Cheers!

Re: [RBW] Re: Silver2 shifters -- over the bar, or under?

[Andrew Letton]

 Hi Pete,One option that might work is to swap the brake levers left for right, 
so the pinch bolt is on the top, then the shifter could go below.Not seeing the 
entire brake lever, I can't see how visually unpleasing that might 
be...cheers,Andrew in Sydney

 Thanks for the pic. Clever mirror placement.

I'm using a Nitto 809 handlebar. It's a low rise, low sweep flat bar that 
really only has one hand position, so I need to mount the brake levers and 
shifters next to each other. Here's a view of the left grip, with the shifter 
on top of the bar, and bell below. As you can see, there's only a few 
millimeters of clearance between the grip and the shifter. Under the bar, the 
brake lever mount bulges around the mounting bolt. I'm pretty sure the bolt 
bulge will interfere with the shifter's throw if I try to mount it below the 
bar. FWIW, the levers are Shimano Tiagras. The newish Deore shifter I have on a 
different bike has the same bulge.

I like these shifters a lot, but the mounts are a bit low profile for my 
situation. Has anyone successfully used the the Silver2 as thumbshifters with a 
different, higher-profile mount? 

Pete

I have them on a old Trek Singletrack. I mounted them on the top. I've found 
that the mounts put the shifters quite low -- just above the bar/grip. A bit 
lower than I'd like, compared to others I've used.

I think they might be more comfortable mounted under the bar, and I've read 
that's how they do it in Walnut Creek. I haven't tried this yet. But eyeballing 
it, I think my brake lever mounts might interfere with the shifter's movement. 
I've seen the video on the Riv site, but it doesn't show brake levers or grips 
installed.

Anyone else been down this road?

Re: [RBW] 52cm Wilbury (fancy!) frameset, never built, CL outing

['JRStern11' via RBW Owners Bunch]

The Saluki was the first 650b Rivendell production bike. I liked the light 
green I had originally better, but this pewter, more lt. taupe) is fine. I have 
all the parts except the brakes on it that I had on my first Saluki, they went 
on the Bleriot and are now on a Saluki again. As soon as we warm up enough I 
will have it on the road.

Re: [RBW] 52cm Wilbury (fancy!) frameset, never built, CL outing

[J J]

Hi Joel,

Thanks for your note and for the pics. I’d love it if you contacted Charlie on 
my behalf. It would be interesting to get more of the bike’s story. I believe 
the Yale student had a range of prices listed at various times, all the up to 
$2,500. We came to a fair agreement and everyone walked away pleased :) 

Your Saluki is fantastic. Something about Salukis does it for me — the name of 
the basal breed and the head badge, the colors (I’ve seen them in “Hunqapillar 
green", silver, orange, yellow, and red), the cantis, the proportions. I would 
love to find one in a 59 or 60. If you ever hear of one for sale, please let me 
know!

And just FYI - I had a blue Murray 20" wheeled "girls" bike hand-me-down 
from my older sister with a playing card and clothespin. My sister had 
gotten some sort of pink and white Schwinn with 24" or 26" wheels.

Of course, if you were really cool (and had money) you would get a Mattel 
V-RROOM "engine" (or complete bicycle) that contained batteries and a 
speaker to make the noise. One up from having a frame tank with integrated 
light and horn.

A head stud (which interestingly has no head, which is why it is a stud).

[RBW] Re: Cool Tools for Home Wrenchers

[lconley]

There is no physical difference between a machine screw and a bolt. How 
they are used determines what they are called. If it is fastened with a 
nut, it is a bolt. If it is threaded into something else (like a casting), 
it is a machine screw. Take a machine screw out of a casting and put a nut 
on it and presto change-o, the machine screw magically transforms into a 
bolt. Thus, what are commonly called "head bolts" by millions of people 
working on American V-8s are actually "head machine screws."  The B-screw 
is accurately named because it is not fastened with a bolt.
