Absolutely beautiful.  I am so jealous.  The pictures made my morning and I 
can't wait to see the finished build.

[RBW] Re: 2020 miles in 2020

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Leah:

You can do it!  I find the more I do, the easier it gets.  And don't be 
afraid to ride in the rain.  I spent many years riding in the Pacific 
Northwest (to which I will be returning soon) and the people here were 
amazed to see me riding in downpours.  My response was that you learn you 
don't melt and in where I lived before, if I waited for a sunny day to 
ride, I would ride two weeks out of the year.  Dress in layers for the cold 
and for wet riding, invest in good rain gear.

I am very sorry about your dad.  My parents are older and have had serious 
health issues.  I know I will be lucky to have them another five years but 
I can't wrap my head around losing them.  I love that you kept your dad's 
bike for your sons.  A good steel frame lasts a lifetime and then some.  
Your grandchildren may end up riding this bike.

Ann

Congratulations Leah!  That is awesome.  I bet you do 3000 miles next year

Re: [RBW] Platypus: First Look

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Leah:

Go fancy.  In fact for a frame that pretty, there is no such thing as too 
fancy.  

Also, when I initially had Honjos on my Soma, I had 700c seven though my 
wheels were 650bs.  The aluminum was pliable enough to bend to fit the 
wheels and didn't look off.  That may be an option for you to explore.  I 
will see if I can find some pictures.

Re: [RBW] Platypus: First Look

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I will have to see about the colors.  My Soma is the "Rivendell Blue" 
color.  From the pictures, the blilver looks closer to teal so that might 
work.  But I want a different color than the bikes I already have so if 
it's too close to my Soma, I will opt for something else.  I am not crazy 
about the limolive but will wait for further pictures.  I am also exploring 
a custom paint job.  But I do ride my bikes hard and all the time and given 
the beausade I put on them, it might be best to go with a production 
color.  If I recall correctly, you are in Las Vegas and don't have to deal 
with the same weather conditions so aluminum fenders may work out for you 
and would look beautiful with your raspberry and cream color scheme.  The 
metal was thin enough on my honjo's that the bolt rotted through and I had 
to rig it out with zip tie until I got it replaced.  The Woody's are very 
light, stunningly beautiful, and incredibly sturdy.  I am playing with 
different ideas for my build but I do know I want a single ring crank with 
a 10 or 11 cassette and a sunracer bar end shifter (and the aforementioned 
cork grips).

Re: [RBW] Platypus: First Look

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I definitely see a Platypus in my future but have my own ideas for a set 
up.  I can be a fraternal twin with you and Roberta, but not an identical.  
I think the grips would complete the bike's color scheme (and I am s 
jealous of that beautiful pomegranite color).  I intend to go with cork 
grips and they feel nice and weather even nicer.  I had Honjo fluted 
fenders on my Soma.  They were beautiful and I loved them but after two 
years the back bolt wore through the metal.  But I ride my bikes hard in 
all weather conditions.  I have gone with Woody fenders ever since and 
although they are pricey, I have found them well worth it.  I am about to 
move back to the Pacific Northwest and will need a bike that can take the 
rain.  I look forward to seeing your finished bike.  Please post lots of 
pictures.

[RBW] Re: Bluelug/Nitto Losco Bar

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I am also eyeing these for my future Platypus build.  I have a Bosco on my 
Appaloosa and an Albatross on my San Marcos.  The Losco looks like a hybrid 
between them.

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Thanks for the help, folks.  I just bought a Nitto s83 off of ebay for $82, 
including shipping.  Hopefully, this will end my bolt shearing 
experiences.  Although I didn't crash the last time it happened, I did have 
to walk my bike back for almost 5 miles so I will happily pay not to do 
that again.

This is such a nice offer, but my local bike shop was able to find a bolt 
to fit the post.  As much as I would like a free seat post, the long term 
solution appears to be a two-bolt seat post.  You are correct that I like 
my saddle slammed all the way back.  But again, thank you.

Because I rode my bike to work when the original bolt broke.  It broke just 
as i was pulling in so I had to jury rig a replacement to get home.  The 
fix seemed to work and so I never got around to replacing it.  The two 
breaks were about a year apart.  Since the bolt sheared off twice in the 
same manner I originally thought it might have something to due with my 
saddle placement or other factors.

I actually have the nitto 65 post on the bike.  I took it by my local bike 
store this morning and they replaced the bolt. 

I'm thinking the first break was a freak accident and the second was caused 
by me fixing it with a substandard bolt.  Thanks for the responses 
everyone.  Hopefully, this one will hold.

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

So I am minding my own business, out for my evening ride on my Appaloosa, 
when the saddle came off.  I didn't crash but it was not fun.  The bolt was 
completely sheared off.  But the weird thing is, the same thing happened to 
me a year ago.  Any idea as to why this keeps happening?  The saddle is a 
Brooks 67.

[RBW] Re: Can I fit J. App. or AHH in back of Civic or Impreza with back seat down?

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Yes.  If you tell them the deal is the bike fitting in the back, they 
will.  They didn't even put protective covering down for the bike when I 
did this (which I suggested).  I also recommend bringing a ipad or 
equivalent and looking at cars at other dealerships when they do the "I 
need to consult with my manager" BS and angle so the manager can see (they 
didn't let this go on for very long).  Also, have the Kelley Bluebook value 
of the car and and your trade in with you.  I got yelled at by a 
salesperson who tried to convince me this "just included taxes" and tried 
to get me to pay full MSRP.  Note: I didn't buy the car.  I hate absolutley 
buying cars.  But when I do, I understand myself to be a warrior going into 
battle.

I would suggest going with the hatchback.  I currently drive a mini cooper 
(4 door edition) and I can fit my Appaloosa in with the front wheel off.  I 
would also recommend showing up at the dealership with one of your bikes to 
test their cargo capacity.  It will give you a good idea of how the bike 
fits and drive the sales person nuts.

shrimp the guy was using as bait.

Re: [RBW] Re: What Is a Cheviot?

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I currently ride a Soma San Marcos and an Appaloosa.  For those not 
familiar, the San Marcos frame was a collaboration between RBW and Soma 
Fabrications.  I think my San Marcos is closest to the Roadini, but I would 
be very interested in hearing from someone who has ridden both as to the 
similarities/differences.  I absolutely adore both my bicycles and ride one 
or both everyday.  The San Marcos is stripped down, no racks or fenders, 
with 35 mm tires, and is my good weather/easy to carry up stairs/fast 
bike.  The Appaloosa has a rack, fenders, Wald bolt on basket and is my bad 
weather/smooth rider/haul stuff bike.  I want a mixte because it will be 
completely different from my other bikes and am already plotting how to 
build it up to make it a unique ride.  

I also nominate you to be on the Design Committee (and will second myself, 
that sounds like an awesome job).

bars.  I currently have Albatross and Bosco bars on my other bikes and am 
looking for a different feel for my next ride.

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

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Kurt: 

Unfortunately, I have a longer torso and shorter legs.  I currently have a 
46 cm Appaloosa and 47 cm Soma San Marcos that fit me although they were 
custom made for me.  I definitely would not be able to go up a size.  I 
love both bikes and ride them all the time.  I decided my next bike is 
going to be a mixte and have been waiting for the next batch of Cheviots to 
come in.  The only color left in my size for the ones in stock is the same 
as my San Marcos and I would prefer something different.

[RBW] Re: A Lesson: When buying a vehicle that will transport a Clem, measure twice and buy once.

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I brought my Appaloosa to the dealership when I bought my Mini Cooper and 
let them know that the sale of the car was contingent on the bike fitting 
in back.  It took some maneuvering, but with the front wheel off and the 
passenger seat pulled all the way forward the bike will fit.  It should be 
noted that I have the 4 door model and the back seat fold down completely 
flat.

[RBW] Re: How hearty/quiet Honjo Fenders?

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Patrick:

I had a set of Honjo fluted fenders.  Although they were extremely light 
weight and beautiful, I can personally attest they were neither quiet nor 
hearty.  The first time a pebble rattled through one of the fenders, it 
sounded like the derailleur was eating itself.  I ride my bikes hard in all 
types of weather.  After two years, the bolt holding the front fender to 
the frame attachment rotted through the thin aluminum.  From the type of 
riding you do as gleaned from your posts, Honjos probably are not a good 
choice for you.

[RBW] Re: Clem Smith Jr or Appaloosa as a mtb/gravel road bicycle.

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Doug:

I have an Appaloosa and I absolutely love it.  I, too, debated between a 
Clem and an Appaloosa.  But the lugs and head badge also sold me on the 
Appaloosa.  It will do well as a mountain bike.

As far as head badges, in my (biased) opinion, I rate first:  Hungapillar 
(coolest badge ever); second: a three way tie between the Appaloosa, the 
Cheviot, and the Saluki.

[RBW] Re: Fendered Roadini

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

In my opinion, bikes always look better with fenders :)

That is a really close match for the the grilver and an overall sharp 
looking bike.

[RBW] Re: My new Cheviot

Joe:

The blue is really beautiful and looks close to the silvery aquamarine 
color of my San Marcos.  I look forward to more pictures once you have the 
Woody's installed and the bike broken in.  I love how the cream accents 
look against the metallic blue.

Your bike is beautiful and so is the scenery.  I am very happy you are back 
on the road.

[RBW] Re: Riv visit, quick note

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Joe:

My beloved San Marcos appears to be the same blue (which is stunning) so I 
can't argue with the choice and the savings.

However, I am a bit sad not to see a candy apple and cream Cheviot.  I will 
put it on my wish list for myself if I win the lottery :)

I look forward to seeing the pictures.

Ann

['Ann L' via RBW Owners Bunch]

It looks like the blue Joe is back on the sale web page so you are back to 
the same temptations.

BTW:  I have an Appaloosa and love it.  It is an amazingly stable plush 
ride.
