[RBW] Re: Frame schedule 2021

[Chris Birkenmaier]

Mark it’s really not worth my effort but my FULL NAME appears next to my 
dog avatar.  Can you not see it?  I can see it and I can read your full 
name next to your non-photo blue blob head avatar.  Other than slapping my 
knuckles on not doing a search, I’m confused why you had to do a Google 
search to investigate who I am.  I have very good manners but don’t feel as 
though I need to have my full name on posts at the top AND  then also add 
the name Chris again at the bottom.  All I can guess is  whatever format 
you are viewing doesn’t display it and you are saying I don’t have a name. 
  Please move on from being concerned about my full name and whether or not 
I’m a man. Check around, there are a lot of female Chris’ out there.

[RBW] Re: I'm ready

[Chris Birkenmaier]

For my “go fast” Riv, I find the Albastache to work really well which is on 
my Roadini.   My Sam has the Bullmoose, the Mountain Mixte has the VO 
Klunker, the Cheviot has the Jones bar and the Quickbeam is an Ahearne. 
 Soma San Marcos has the Albatross.  All good bars but the Albastache seems 
the sportiest of the group

[RBW] Re: On the subject of VO Bars

[Chris Birkenmaier]

I have the VO Klunker bars on my Roscoe Bubbe mountain Mixte.   Had it in 
to my local REI and one of the bike mechanics was from the Bay Area and was 
thrilled to see the bike.  (I’m in PA). He was saying how he never sees 
them out east but saw them frequently in Berkeley where he had worked at a 
shop.
As to the bars themselves, I really like them. I have Ergo grips so it’s a 
very comfy set up

 Sam, the MBs were 90s mtbs, more similar to an Atlantis than a Susie. 
 The Susie has a much more upright position, and a radically longer top 
 tube 
 (70cm on the XL, with a 59cm seat tube.) The design of early mountain 
 bikes, and most race designed bikes regardless of generation, is to spread 
 your center of gravity more evenly between the hbars and seat in order to 
 reduce drag. None of these principles apply to the Susie, which is 
 designed 
 to have most of the weight on the saddle, further back and over the rear 
 stays, for the purpose of comfort.

 Hi all, my first post here!

 I am close to pulling the trigger on a Susie, but am not finding 
 many descriptions of how it rides, handles, etc.  What should I 
 expect?  
 How is the acceleration?  I am looking for something for 50% single 
 track 
 and 50% gravel roads, and an occasional short bikepacking trip.  I 
 ride a 
 rigid MTB currently so the lack of front suspension won't be a shock 
 (get 
 it?), but still am looking to smooth out some of the bumps.  How is it 
 to 
 ride with swept back bars on technical single track? 

 Thanks a lot for the thoughts!!

Jenny we have never met but you have certainly sent some packages to me over

like a person I’d love to chat with. Your style was also appreciated by me in 
your bikes. Wishing you the very best for continued success!

[RBW] Re: New bike woes - Albatross bars and Brooks B17 Special saddle

[Chris Birkenmaier]

I think we can all agree that everyone is different and therefore saddles 
vary as to suitability.  I have  B17s and B68s on my various bikes and all 
are set up with alt bars and pretty upright riding position.  I'm perfectly 
fine with the B17 in that usage..  For the most part I don't have that 
painful period for breaking in unless I go longer miles on an outing.  Also 
agreed - for me - the Cambium is too rounded and makes for a very 
uncomfortable saddle.  I also enjoy the Berthoud Mente and the newer 
Albruis which both have the flat back portion.  For my folders I use the 
WTB Sports Comfort saddle and have had good results.

[RBW] Re: Berthoud Saddles

[Chris Birkenmaier]

Thanks for the info on the Aubisque!  I wasn't aware of that model.  My 
research shows its the same proportions as the Mente and the leather 
attachments seem to be like the upscale Vars.  Kind of a middle price 
between the two.  Trying to find a US seller is not easy.

[RBW] Re: Berthoud Saddles

[Chris Birkenmaier]

Just have to chime in since there isn't normally a lot of chatter around 
Berthoud saddles.  As much as I adore Brooks, the Mente is one of my all 
time favorites.  I have alt bars on all my bikes except for the Roadini 
which has Albaastache and the Mente works very well for me.  I like the 
long nose and sleek profile from the side.  Quality abounds on these 
saddles.  I've noticed the Mente is getting harder to find available.  Not 
sure if they are phasing it out?

[RBW] Re: Buy a Clem (from Rivendel) and get a $750 store credit(!)

[Chris Birkenmaier]

I'm curious as to how they made out on the weekend sales blitz.  If anyone 
wanted a Clem, that appeal surely should have shook them out of the 
woodwork.  As much as I'd love to help Riv, I just don't need a Clem which 
would be my 8th bike made by the company.  I do wish them nothing but the 
best to overcome this latest cash crunch.

I hope you get to try them. They came on my JA and I didn’t expect to like

because I’m restless with bike configurations and own a ton of alt bars

Re: [RBW] Re: Roadini handlebar ideas

[Chris Birkenmaier]

Been meaning to post to this discussion for quite some time. I have Albastache 
bars on mine and really like them a lot.  This has become my “go fast” bike.  
It puts me in a more athletic position than my other bikes and that coupled 
with the relatively light weight of the bike makes for a very agreeable ride.

I’m a big fan of the Jones bar too and they both just work very well for me for

[RBW] Re: Self-diagnosed Riv addicts (some) since 1994.

[Chris Birkenmaier]

I’ve been immersed in bikes for most of my life. I was familiar to a certain 
extent with GP/Rivendell.  A few years back I read some glowing reviews of his 
bikes in a magazine and that sparked my interest.  So like eating potato chips, 
I start d buying them.  I now own a Sam, Roadini, Joe A, Quikbeam, Cheviot, 
Rosco Bubbe Mixte, and a Soma San Marcos.  My cycling needs are well taken care 
of!

I have one on my Sam Hillborne and I really like it.  I don't do crazy 
miles on it but that's just because I don't do crazy miles to begin with.  
I find it exceptionally comfortable and agree with the comment that if it 
is a good fit for you, then you probably don't need a dozen different hand 
positions.  Even at that, you can move your hands forward on the bar if you 
wanted to.

[RBW] Riv bags for sale on website

[Chris Birkenmaier]

Or more accurately, not for sale.  Was just on the shop website and was amazed 
at how the majority of bags are either out of stock or discontinued. I have 
more bags than a normal human should own but I always liked their offerings. I 
recall some talk a while back about the maker retiring or something along those 
lines so perhaps that is happening ?

[RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa, MIT Atlantis versus Jones SWB

[Chris Birkenmaier]

Jonathan, I am a big fan of the Ti bikes I own (Seven, Blacksheep and the 
Jones).  In all of these bikes I feel a smoothness when I ride that isn't 
always present in others.  I certainly like steel and have never owned a 
carbon fiber, so that is my universe of experience in frame materials.  I 
think the Jones is well proportioned to me in reach and general set up so 
that helps too.  Just a combination of a lot of different factors that come 
together in this particular bike that makes it a real treat for me to 
ride.  Sorry if that all sounds very vague.

[RBW] Re: Joe Appaloosa, MIT Atlantis versus Jones SWB

I have a Joe A and the older version of the Jones diamond Ti frame with the 
truss fork - so not the LWB..  Although I love both of these bikes, the 
Jones is a superlative ride.  I have the "smaller" slick tires (2.5?) 
Schwable Marathon Supreme and Alfine 8 drivetrain on the Jones.  Talking to 
Jeff Jones is also a treat.  He takes the time to answer all your 
questions.  Not that Riv doesn't.   It's one of my keepers.

Clayton, you asked that no one respond  but your opening made me comment. I am

I feel the need to draw the line at painting all Republicans as evil 
individuals.  I’m a moderate by almost anyone’s definition but I am a 
registered Republican.  Broad stroke condemnations are harmful and normally not 
accurate. I married a Democrat.  We’ve had 26 happy years together. I wish 
others could find a common ground of compassion and respect for one another

I have both bars and the ride feel are very different. I don’t think you’re

Choco.  I didn’t expect to like the Choco very much but it works well on my JA 
due to the longer length of the top tube. Or at least that is what I attribute 
it to

[RBW] Re: My new Sam is complete!

[Chris Birkenmaier]

I had my new Roadini painted black and have the albastache bars on it, 
cream tire, 1x11, brooks saddle.  If I posted a photo of it - it would look 
like I copied yours.  Great minds think alike!  Enjoy

[RBW] RIV Catalog Arrived

[Chris Birkenmaier]

Just got the mail and there it was - the promised Riv catalog!  I'm going 
to wait until after work to savor it with a beer in hand on the back 
patio.  Just from the cover, it looks to be of high quality.  Much as you 
would expect.

[RBW] PSA: 58 Betty Foy (Craigslist-Wisconsin)

[Chris Birkenmaier]

I wouldn’t sell that bike just because I was moving to the country.  Not sure 
why people think they need to come up with a stated reason for selling their 
bike in the first place

[RBW] Re: FS: More Brooks Saddles and a Fujita

[Chris Birkenmaier]

Update on the update  :)

I see I posted it wrong.  I still have the Brooks *BLACK* B67 for $85 
shipped and the Brooks B17 Narrow at $75 shipped.  From my earlier and 
separate listing I also have the vintage Black Professional for $140 
shipped.

If you see something that interests you feel free to make an offer.  I also 
have photos available.
thanks
Chris

[RBW] Re: Truss-frame Atlantis!

I have an ANT truss bike.  Love the looks but it doesn't fit me real well.  
So, that is my bike set up on the trainer which is a shame.

[RBW] Re: When requesting to contacted off list

[Chris Birkenmaier]

My problem has been that I see something I want while on my I-phone so I 
have to get to my laptop to send the direct message.  I try not to post to 
the ad on the forum as per request.  By then, if I am away from home, I 
have lost out on buying the item.

Re: [RBW] New Wavie Bar Photos

[Chris Birkenmaier]

I don't ride drops so I've become the queen of Alt Bars it seems.  I've 
tried all that you mentioned and just recently put the Jones H-bar on my 
Cheviot.  This Jones bar is the "simple one" that doesn't have the extended 
loop on it - so it looks like the MAP bars that I happen to have on my QB.  
I also prefer the slightly more aggressive position.  Still comfortable but 
not sitting like Mary Poppins.

Nice bike Joe!  Always liked the Clubman and love your set up. I did my 
Quickbeam like that. Didn’t know you had that bike

[RBW] Bar-swapping: Drops out, Jitensha bars in

[Chris Birkenmaier]

I have the Jitenhas on my Quickbeam. I’ve totally gotten away from drops and am 
a total convert to alt bars. I like them - a lot!

[RBW] Re: Anyone have a spare Rivendell mug they're willing to part with?

[Chris Birkenmaier]

I looked to order a mug two days ago and searched all over the site and 
couldn’t find it. Was afraid they may have stopped selling them because the 
item disappeared without a photo remaining and an “out of stock” notation.  I 
almost bought one when I was ordering a bunch of stuff during the crunch a 
couple of weeks ago.

[RBW] Re: Riv request for store credits

[Chris Birkenmaier]

Well that is good to hear.  I hope things can get back into a normal keel 
for them.  I have a BS in Finance and also my MBA in Finance and I have no 
confidence that I could successfully run a business. (and I was a pretty 
good student).

[RBW] Re: Custom frames sold out

[Chris Birkenmaier]

I would think a comment to call Riv directly might work better than a "sold 
out" notation.  Custom builders that I have seen often have a place to put 
in a deposit online and then a follow up with the builder for specific 
specs.  Just struck me as odd but perhaps it is not.

[RBW] Custom frames sold out

[Chris Birkenmaier]

Been visiting the Riv website often with the recent shopping initiative and 
noticed that custom frames are listed as sold out. Saw this a few days back so 
it’s not new. Any reason why a custom could not be ordered via the site or am I 
missing something?  As an aside I wasn’t looking to order a custom - simply 
noticed it

[RBW] Re: Unsafe helmets

[Chris Birkenmaier]

I love the nonpolitical nature of this forum and don’t want to see that 
changed. The slap on older people was just kind of inane.  Perhaps  it was 
offered by someone who doesn’t think he or she is ever going to age. (And some 
people don’t eat and sleep at exact times)

Guess you can put me in the pile of people who thought the thread was going to 
discuss unsafe helmets
