[RBW] Re: New stuff on my Roadeo
I agree with you, Don, sounds like a great drivetrain for a great bike. Many (most?) of my bikes have DT shifters, which I think are great. However, when my custom Riv came available at one of my LBSs for a great price, I couldn't resist it. It has a 3x10 Campy drivetrain - with carbon Record brifters. Not what I would have chosen, but admit it all works really slick. The Silver brakes clear the 32mm GB Cypres and the 45mm Honjo's just fine.

[RBW] Re: Seattle Mechanic Recommendation- Overhaul
Every shop mentioned so far is great, and there are several others. Go with the one local to you. If it's R+E, you can't go wrong there. One of my favorite shops, because they actually manufacture bikes there - top notch frame shop in the basement - led by Denis Bushnell. The mechanics upstairs are very good, too. Seattle is blessed to have two such shops - the other one being downtown (near Pike Place Market) - Elliott Bay Bicycles, home of Davidson Bicycles. Both shops are really incredible. This is the way it was 100+ years ago for most shops. There aren't many full-blown shops like this left - even overseas. Alex Singer in Paris, Daniel Salmon somewhere in western France, Woodrup Cycles in Leeds, England. Toei/Grand Bois in Tokyo. I'm sure there are others, but my point is that these shops are now rare, and I really appreciate the few that are left.

[RBW] Re: Your method of going around brake levers with cloth bar tape?
Some good advice here. Another top tip for troublesome cloth: soak it in water before you wrap. It helps it stretch, lay flat (not bunch and kink as much), and as it dries, it shrinks a bit so it's nice and tight. BTW, I only do this if I'm having trouble with a particular brand of tape, and/or bar shape. I usually try to wrap it dry first, and if I end up with lumps, etc, I'll unwrap entire side, throw it in the sink for a quick soak, and re-wrap. Works for me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: I raced my Riv in a mountain bike race
HA - good one! I forgot to mention one snide remark from a fellow asking where my racks, bags, and panniers were. Pretty sure I kicked his ass. I also meant to point out in my original post that I'm NOT a racer. Don't have the knack for it, not good at it, don't really enjoy it, haven't really raced anything since college days more than two decades ago. I much prefer to just ride, but I'm also not totally averse to riding hard once in awhile. And this mixed surface course was pretty fun to ride. This event is a bit different, though. I think one of the S2S slogans is more than just a race. As you can sense from the pics, it was a fun boys weekend - hanging out, joking and laughing with a bunch of colleagues as another school year draws to a close. The top teams recruit racers from all over the world, and they get national, olympic, and worlds caliber athletes (thus the S2S nickname Bellingham Olympics.) Those teams finish hours ahead of us. My team is mostly 40ish guys in better than average (USA) shape, that somehow find the whole event (weekend) fun. One guy is a triathlete, but I think he's the only racer in the bunch. Still, we finished 144th out of nearly 500 teams - many of those teams finished hours behind us (and they had fun, too.) I think these sorts of events are becoming more popular, and they are pretty laid back and fun. So if you get an invite - consider it.

[RBW] I raced my Riv in a mountain bike race
Ski to Sea (aka the Bellingham Olympics) is a 93 mile, 7-leg relay race from Mount Baker to Bellingham Bay. My principal and a group of teacher buddies have been doing this event for a few years. XC Ski-downhill ski-run-road bike-canoe-XC bike-kayak. Their mountain biker decided to retire, so I was asked to join the team. The mountain bike leg is about 13 miles long and mixed terrain and surfaces, but not extremely technical. They started allowing cyclocross bikes a couple years ago, and though the mountain bike would be more comfortable in a lot of spots, the 'cross bikes are faster overall. They also decided to change the name of the leg to Cross-Country Bike. Country Bike? Sounds like a job for my Riv! I have a couple of mountain bikes, but knew the Riv would be faster overall. I pre-rode the course on Saturday with JB greens. What fun! The tires worked great on the fairly dry course. Alas, it rained all night, and all day Sunday - which required a last minute switch to 'cross mud tires. The Michelin Tires were labelled 700x30, but actually measured 34mm (pleasant surprise!) The Silver sidepulls had plenty of mud clearance, and worked fine in the muck. I did have one mishap fairly early in the event - I leaned over to far on wet pavement, lost the front and laid it down. Luckily, it was a slow/tight/technical 90 degree turn. That did cause me to be a bit more cautious, and possibly the minute I needed to crack Top 100 glory. So, the bike did great and the engine wasn't as weak as I'd feared. I finished 170 out of nearly 500.

[RBW] Re: Forget bike weight: let's talk about the Portacatena!
Patrick, Your attached photo (must be from Flickr?) is a pic of my 1980ish Colnago super. I think the chain rest idea is super slick, and works very well. The rear end is spaced at 126mm, and I'm using a regular 5 cog 14-24 Regina Oro freewheel. I know someone who is using an ultra 6 freewheel in a similar era Gios - it apparently works fine. My Colnago come with the dropouts already tapped for the PC, I just chased the threads. I've seen a 1978 Colnago Super with the same dropout casting, but the holes were not yet drilled and tapped. You may be interested to know that Campagnolo also made a single bolt version with works with any long horizontal dropout. I put one of those on my 1974 Bill Davidson, and it also works great. I'll try to attach a pic. Here's the link, just in case: http://www.flickr.com/photos/39151498@N07/8197764689/in/set-72157625243085418/ Cheers, Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Sackville Grid Grey fabric
I like the grid grey a lot. Have a couple of the other bags, too. The fabric looks and feels similar to regular waxed cotton, but the grid just gives a rip-stop feel. I like the grey colour, and I like the geometric pattern of the grid. Definitely my favourite fabric. http://www.flickr.com/photos/39151498@N07/5070536744/in/set-72157622960184871/ I even bought the panniers for my rough-stuff touring bike, and love them. Don't have pics of that yet. Alex Moll Marysville, WA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Framesaver Time?
Hi Rob, Hard to tell from the photo - but sounds like you're pretty sure it's rust? JPW's Framesaver is good stuff, and a lot of LBSs in Seattle carry it. I know Recycled Cycles used to, and likely still does. I think RBW uses Boeshield, and that's what I typically use (for chains also.) Around here, you can get Boeshield at any boating/marine store, and Sears. Cheapest to buy it by the gallon - I think I got my last gallon at The Rust Store (dot com.) I soak my chains in concentrated Simple Green for a few hours, rinse thoroughly and allow to dry, then soak in a well-sealed tupperware container of Boeshield, wipe off and hang to dry overnight. This is a weekend operation, as necessary. In fact, I'll be doing that to the chain on my AHH this weekend.

Can't go wrong with a little Framesaver. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
