Re: [RBW] Re: Scam alert? I'm so confused. Blue Homer in LA? ND?

[Cyclofiend Jim]

Follow up - 

I just reread the posts in this thread - I'm still confused (and don't 
really want to know all the details)but just to be clear.

First
- There was an old post on FB (unrelated to this group at all)
- It's been there a while.
- It seems scammy.

Also
- Someone DM'd a group member (As I've mentioned before, this is possible 
even if the DM'ing member is moderated) saying a similar bike is for sale.
- That went scammy quickly.
- Others had experience with that individual which felt scammy.
- No one reported it to me.
- I've now removed _that_ individual who was on this list. 

Then
- there was a tangent about an older scammer (immediately removed from this 
group back when it happened, after someone brought it to my attention). 

Review:
- If someone solicits you via DM for a transaction and they have no 
presence on this list, I would err on the side of caution. There are plenty 
of solid group citizens here and very few scammers. But that does not mean 
you should simply trust someone who has contacted you. Verify. Ask for 
specifics. Engage in safe online transaction practices.
- And if someone is acting hinky, let the admin know... 

OK.  Enjoy your weekend!

Jim

ADMIN HAT ON ///

Ok. I want to be very, very clear about this. 

I've definitely removed and suspended individuals from this group when they 
behaved inappropriately or they were clearly scams.

But there is really no way for me - or any other member of this group - to 
police some other group on Facebook.

If you have a problem with a seller on Facebook, it would be much more 
direct to take up with FB or the admin of that group. This is not the place 
for that. 

One of the reasons I limit posting for newer members is to try to filter 
out those who are clearly trying to scam folks. 

But I do not in any way want any member of this group to assume that some 
faceless person on the internet has been vetted for transactions. That 
responsibility lies with the buyer. Any member of this group can search 
other members to see how active they have been over the years. 

Caveat emptor. 

Let's have no confusion on that point. 

I felt it was inappropriate to drag content from a private transaction on 
separate on FB into this group, so I've locked this thread. 

// ADMIN HAT OFF

Thanks!

Jim

Re: [RBW] Sonoma Wine Country Century tomorrow! Anyone else?

I was a rest stop volunteer in Healdsburg. It rained a ton but most seemed 
to still be having a decently good time. At the last minute SRCC decided 
we'd serve hot chocolate and tea. Riders were grateful. Was clear-ish at 
lunch and SRCC know how to put on a food show.

Re: [RBW] Re: Eric M.'s new video: Shop tour, favorite workshops, tool organization and my next bicycle build

[JohnS]

Thank you Eric for the video! I waited until I had some free time to that I 
could take it in and enjoy it, very entertaining! I really appreciated the 
references to the artist and artisan studios which inspire you, as well as 
the books. Here's a link to a couple pics of my work shop in our two car 
garage (which are rarely parked in there due to all the bikes). I've also 
have a pic of my Crust LB-canti since it has the same color scheme as your 
next build (brown frame, brown leather bar tape, brown side wall RH tires 
and a brown Brooks Swift saddle. Good luck with the build and finding just 
the right parts.

[Valerie Yates]

Beautiful color! I am not in the market but curious what the standover is 
for this frame. Or what PBH range it fits

[RBW] Re: Tektro 559 pad alignment

[Dorothy C]

Mine are at the identical height on my 47cm Roadini. I can see your 
adjustment screw is quite backed out - see on top of the ND side arm, try 
screwing that in a bit

 Many of you may already be aware of this, but Blue Lug has a nice
 catalog of all it's Riv Builds for customers. In the even you want some
 inspiration for your next build, or just want to see some different takes
 on each frame, have a look:

 https://bluelug.com/bike-catalog/model/rivendell-bicycle-works/

 If you click the dropdown in the top right corner and scroll down to
 the Riv section you can even filter for specific models. Been super helpful
 as I accrue the things needed for my upcoming 56cm 2TT Sam I scored from
 Abe on here.

 Hopefully helpful for folks looking to build out that next frame or
 rebuild your old favorite!

Re: [RBW] Sonoma Wine Country Century tomorrow! Anyone else?

[Sarah Carlson]

I'm signed up but weighing the enjoyment/risk with the wind and rain. I 
just stuck my head out the window to get the "weather report" and was met 
with a gust of wind to the face and rain. My gut instinct for myself is to 
take the rain check, and go ride this route on a clear day. 

My yellow Platypus and I will likely ride out this storm in the house. If 
you see a flash of yellow out there it means I changed my mind!
