[RBW] Re: FS: Sam Hillborne 53cm $2500/obo

[Robert Calton]

Good evening John. I'm sorry to hear about your reasons for selling and 
hope all is well, but I am very interested in this lovely Hillborne. I just 
wanted to double-check the size on it before I commit. The listing says 
53cm but I can't seem to find Rivendell's dimensions on a 53cm: on their 
site they have 51cm or 54cm. Could you please confirm if it is 54cm or 
indeed 53cm? I have a PBH of 83.8, which puts me in a 54cm, but I'm sure a 
53 would be fine too.  

All the best,
Robert

Pam you made riding from the airport sound so simple, I had to streetview 
it. Now I have to try it! 

The tour is on my bucket list as well.

[RBW] Re: 5 Boro Bike Tour (was NYC Riv Ride?)

[Roy Summer]

Did it once. That was enough. Verrazano was tough at end. Lots of crazies. 
Right of passage for any rider. Remember, it’s a ride not a race. Bring 
extra tubes. Be prepared for rain and chilly weather (My daughter and I 
rode in the wet. Not fun). Ride defensively. Enjoy the sights. As a New 
Yorker, I can say it’s the fastest I’ve ever gone on the BQE (Brooklyn 
Queens Expressway). Have fun.

[RBW] Re: Soliciting opinions: help me pick the right Rivendell

[Greg Sonstein]

There is a lot of overlap in the Riv lineup. Most bikes can handle any 
road, paved or gravel, even the Roadini (though I would not buy it for off 
roading, it will take a 42mm tire which is plenty big for going on dirt). 
The Homers, Sams are more roadie than the Appaloosa, Atlantis and Platypus 
but can also easily go off road and take racks, fenders, and carry a decent 
load. The only difference between the Sams and Homers is really the brakes 
(v brakes/canti v. caliper/centerpull). Sams take a slightly larger tire, 
maybe 50mm over 48mm for the Homer. If you really want one bike to rule 
them all, I would get the Appaloosa or Atlantis, they are the same bike, 
take big tires (55mm), take heavy loads. Most people will not even notice 
the difference in the weight or stiffness. Also the longer chainstays make 
the ride more plush. Platy is just as useful and comfortable but the design 
is not for everyone. Clem is basically a cheaper Susie. Also the colors 
change every year so this years Apps will not be tbhe same as last year. 

   - February - Clems
   - March - Lugged Susies - kind of a new model
   - April - Roaduno bikes and frames - new model
   - May - Sam Hillbornes
   - June - Appaloosas
   - July - Platypus bikes and frames
   - August - Charlie Gallop, nu model, bikes and frames, more info later
   - September - Roadini

[RBW] Re: Soliciting opinions: help me pick the right Rivendell

[Roy Summer]

First, I would love to buy your Ciocc if it was a 52-54 and I didn’t 
already have 5 bikes I ride and 1 to sell (1994/5 Bontrager rebuilt for 
road). Second, although I don’t own a Riv, I do own a mostly original X0-1 
(the precursor to all Rivs). It seems to be the best all around choice as 
it works for fast road riding as well as longer, hillier rides. I think the 
moustache bars combined with lighter road tires (I use Michelins that are 
no longer available, but read on for a suggestion) work really well (other 
bikes are drop bars and I often think X0-1 is best). So, my suggestion 
would be an Appaloosa or Atlantis with Albastache bars, gearing of your 
choice, and, if possible 26” wheels with Panaracer Pasela Protite 26x1.25 
folding tires (light; flat resistant; fast on the road; wide enough for 
light off road/gravel; daughter rides them in NYC). And, yes, I understand 
the color issue and the dual top tube thing. Finally, strip the RB-1. It’s 
not safe. And if you want my Bontrager we can talk (but it won’t fit you 
and your Ciocc won’t fit me, so what’s the use).

Re: [RBW] Snapped Clem seat binder bolt

[Danny]

I’ve had that happen on a new Riv before.

This is from a Riv newsletter last year:

*Also, make sure to grease the binder bolts before you tighten them down.
They ship to us dry and they have a tendency to gall and not tighten down
enough unless they're greased up.*

I would just give Paul Components a call. They are very nice and helpful.

Modine is a good dude who rides. He'll reply on Twitter if you see 
something he's in, I'm sure he'll be quite enthused to discuss this film.

Thanks for the reminder Leah. The film also stars Matthew Modine who I 
first spotted in a movie called Vision Quest. Nothing quite like setting a 
goal and pursuing it. Based on a Terry Davis novel praised by John Irving.

I'm in.

[RBW] Paul Racer rear mount bolt length needed

[Nick Payne]

I have a pair of Paul Racer centre-mount brakes, bought quite a few years 
ago, that I finally got around to fitting to a bike. However, although the 
two boxes the brakes came in are clearly marked as being one front and one 
rear, both brakes have the long bolt needed for mounting on the fork. 
Rather than faff around trying to get the correct bolt off the supplier, I 
was either going to cut down the existing bolt once I know what length is 
needed, or try for the correct bolt at a local hardware store that 
specializes in nuts and bolts. Does anyone know what length of bolt I need 
for fitting to the seatstay bridge (recessed allen-head fitting on the 
bridge)?
