[RBW] Re: For sale, Suntour Superbe brakes

[Ray Varella]

Thanks Joe,
I really agonized over parting with them but I have a set on my road bike 
and these have sat unused for about 20 years.

[RBW] Re: FS: SKF, Suntour brakes, Son Dynamo

[Collin A]

Another update. The Suntour Brakes are sold...and I moved the son hub to 
ebay (figured its not quite this groups cup-o-tea). Just the silver1 
shifters left.

Some silver1 downtube shifters. The left is in good condition, the right is 
a little banged up, but functions perfectly (the arm appears bent a bit and 
the rivet covering the ratchet is sheared). *Asking $40 shipped.*..basically 
it's an almost* 2-for-1 deal!

Cheers,

Re: [RBW] Re: Ride Your Rivendell: White Pine Trail, Grand Rapids, MI

[Leah Peterson]

Hi Friends,

It was a cold and lovely Saturday for our 2nd Riv Ride. Seven riders were in 
attendance with a variety of Rivendells. Class. So much class. We just oozed 
class all over the White Pine Trail and we weren’t apologetic. Riding your 
Rivendell is treat enough, but riding in a fellowship of Rivendells is superior 
even to that. In fact, that’s what I’m going to call these events from now on. 
A Fellowship of Rivendells: Insert Meeting Place Here. 

The Lone Wolf (Mark Irwin) and I arrived before 10, and wondered if we might be 
the only two riders. We shrugged and said, “Well, if it’s just us that will be 
just fine.” The Lone Wolf has been plagued with my presence ever since April 
and he has reached a place of acceptance. Acceptance of my chattering on about 
the water and the trees and my failure to ever know which direction we are 
going. He brought his 10-year-old Sam this time, and I brought my raspberry 
Platypus.

Moments later we had the good fortune to spot a vehicle bearing a bike entering 
the lot. It was Rob, who came from Milford, MI and brought his ‘98 Rivendell 
Custom. Rob’s bike was the oldest Rivendell present that day. It is a lovely 
blue-green that really defies classification and draws the eye. The lugs are 
very different from the ones on modern Rivs. He has tens of thousands of miles 
on it.

An Atlantis bearing a burly rider dressed in neon yellow and purple sunglasses 
rolled up next. T.J. only lives 3 miles from the meeting spot and decided he’d 
just throw on a pair of shorts (shorts! I was freezing in my wool base layer  
and 2nd layer of clothing) and ride on over. T.J. is a character with a big 
personality and good sense of humor. He calls out encouraging things to the 
riders we pass by, and can whistle These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things wicked 
good. He and his wife ride matching Atlanti, and the backstory, well, you must 
hear it. An Atlantis in his wife’s size went for sale locally. He contacted the 
seller immediately, who said T.J. was 3rd in line. A total bummer. The phone 
rang, and it was Ben, telling T.J., “There’s an Atlantis in your wife’s size 
and I’m 2nd in line for it!” The phone rang again, this time it was Josh, who 
said, “There was an Atlantis for sale locally and I got there first and I just 
bought it on your behalf for your wife. But geez, I had to pay an extra $200 
because there were 3 people wanting it!” 

Then came Ben, the very one mentioned in the previous paragraph, who pulled a 
Frank Jones, Sr. out of his pickup truck. Ben brings sustenance wherever he 
goes and is willing to share; he has a penchant for high-quality, whole foods 
and, well, a pipe…the contents of which I shall not name and did not share. He 
has a collection of Rivs and Bridgestones, and we will probably never see the 
same bike twice.

Josh came next, bringing an Atlantis in a custom metallic green color. Josh 
owns a local bike shop that he fortuitously opened in 2020. He has done many 
rides over the years with Ben and T.J. and is the Josh responsible for scoring 
T.J.’s wife an Atlantis at an inflated price! He graciously led most of the 
ride and chose our brewery for the after party. He’s a born and raised Grand 
Rapids guy and wise in the ways of West Michigan custom. When the last segment 
of salty, doughy pretzel lay on the plate at our table Josh said, “Everyone 
wants that last bite but no one will take it because we are in West Michigan. 
If you want anyone to take that piece, cut it in two.” And sure enough. 

Finally, Conway arrived. He came from “Chicagoland” which is, I think, what you 
say when you’re from the area but not the city proper. He brought his Hunq, 
which likely felt light as a feather because almost always, he’s got a 3 year 
old and 1.5 year old lashed to it. But, he managed to break away from fatherly 
duties for today’s ride and it was very good to put a face with a name I’ve 
seen on this List for years. 

I’ll include an additional post with the video I made for those of you who like 
to view videos. I hope to see more of you next year when we kick off spring 
with a Fellowship of Rivendells Ride.

Re: [RBW] Tire shipping advice

[David Person]

Plus 1 on the Pirateship.com recommendation.  Used to ship via USPS.com but 
Pirateship.com gives the best price between USPS and UPS.  Also, you can 
ship via 1st Class mail if the package is light enough. USPS.com only 
allowed Priority, so you can save a lot on light stuff.

[RBW] Re: For sale, Suntour Superbe brakes

[Patch T]

FWIW, these clear Rene Herse Naches Pass 26 x 1.8 (41mm actual) on my 1992 
Bstone XO-1.
They're beautiful. Braking is good. No issues with centering.

They're light and beautiful vintage Suntour brakes for people who know what

Skewers or not, I’ll go ahead and take them. I might convert that rear to
an even narrower OLD. And I my convert both hubs to bolt on :)

Please do me a favor and DM me. I’m using my phone and it’s just allowing
me to reply to the whole rbw group.
