[RBW] FS: 2 Filson Mackinaw Cruisers

[Dave Grossman]

In the spirit of all of the amazing wool items I've accumulated over my 
years with this group I'd like to offer up a couple of killer Filson 
Mackinaw wool cruisers

Pit to pit is 26". 
It's in excellent condition with no noticeable flaws. 2018 vintage.
I got a good deal so passing it on for one as well. Asking $250 shipped 
conus.

2.  Filson Mackinaw Cruiser Size 40 Long (Medium Long) Forest Green
In excellent condition, pit to pit is 23". In modern terms I'd call it a 
medium long. See measurements in comments.
Asking $240 shipped conus.

 Pam, you might try a trick I've used to stiffen the bag enough to 
 prevent sagging. Get your hands on a sheet of corrugated plastic - the 
 same 
 stuff that is used for political campaign yard signs (they should soon be 
 readily available for no cost ; )   

 Cut the plastic sheet to fit the interior width of the bag and long 
 enough to cover the bottom and extend up onto the front wall of the bag. 
 The corrugations need to run across the width of the cut sheet so you can 
 fold it to curve up the front wall. The sheet should be sized to fit 
 slightly snug to prevent it shifting around inside the bag. It's a low 
 cost, light weight solution that repurposes  bit of plastic that is 
 otherwise destined for the land fill.

 Your Schwinn looks like a sweet little bike in its own right.

[RBW] Re: Bedrock Mountain Clogs in Stock!

I'd love to hear some feedback about these as well.  I had a pair of Chaco

to hear if these work for folks.

[RBW] FS: Toyo 61 cm A Homer Hilsen

[Dave C]

$2100. I am willing to have REI ship it at buyers expense. I will keep my 
saddle and pedals.

My Craigslist posting is here, with pictures:

https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/bik/d/carlsbad-fs-61-cm-toyo-built-rivendell/7655093235.html

I recently purchased an early model, Toyo-built A Homer Hilsen from the 
previous owner in Los Angeles.  My goal was to see if I would prefer the 
Homer compared to my Romulus enough to justify the expense. I have invested 
a few hundred dollars in new Dura Ace bar end shifters, a new XT cassette, 
new 35 mm Gravelking slicks, and longer cables and cable housing to be able 
to raise and lower the bars so I can find my desired height. I also 
installed fenders and the pictures may show the fenders installed, but I 
intend on keeping them and have removed them.

It is a very nice bike, but the Romulus meets my road bike needs and I want 
to sell the Homer to buy a bikepacking bike, something totally different. I 
put this up for sale months ago on CL, but I have not been trying very hard 
to sell it. Time to move it.

I think the frameset is in very good condition, perhaps excellent. There a 
few minor paint chips on a chain stay, and some chipping on the pointed 
part of the seat tube / top tube lug pointing towards the saddle. I believe 
this is a great opportunity for someone who wants a Toyo Homer in a 61 cm 
to get one in terrific shape. It fits very much like my previous 61 cm 
Atlantis. It actually handles in a very similar manner and that makes it 
difficult to sell, but I want to get a fast drop bar mountain bike more 
than I want to have an additional 700c country bike.
.
I have a 77 cm saddle height set up as pictured. I would suggest this as a 
minimum, and if you are a little taller than me you will probably be able 
to run 40+ mm tires with zero issues. Please message me directly if you 
have serious interest in this bike. 

Regarding the rest of the parts -
Nitto Noodle
Technomic stem, 9 cm (I can swap for another length if you prefer, I have a 
5, 8 and a 11 cm.
Dura Ace bar end shifters, new
Kickstand
Nitto seatpost
Velocity Dyad rims, XT hubs
XT Rapid Rise rear derailer
IRD Alpina front derailer

[RBW] Re: Appaloosa Build Opinions

[Dave Grossman]

I once heard an interview with Jeff Jones on how to set up his H-Bar and he 
mentioned using a stem short enough so that you can fully utilize his 
bars.  If the stem is too long, the curve at the front won't be used for 
more "aero" riding and if it is too short the grips won't be comfy either.

I've tried to apply this to my Hunq and I ended up running a 120/Albas on 
it!  I suggest trying a few setups on the Joe until you feel like you can 
utilize it in full.

and really good in the rain.  Not a full Gore Tex rainshell (hence

[RBW] FS: Edgevale Canvas Shorts 34W MUSA

[Dave Grossman]

I actually found about Edgevale from the group a bunch of years back when 
someone posted about a Chambray shirt they had purchased.  Since then I 
have purchased a myriad of items from Edgevale.  

They are made in California, 9 oz canvas, gusseted crotch, and an 8.75" 
inseam.  Both are 34 waist.  They have a few marks from use but overall are 
in great condition. These are durable for all sorts of activities, 
especially riding.  I have fallen in love with stretchy pants this year so 
I am downsizing a bit of my canvas collection.

Asking $40 Shipped CONUS for the pair

[RBW] WTB/WTT 165mm Cranks

[Dave Grossman]

 I am in need of some 165mm cranks for a build for my kid.  I'd prefer 
something square taper, 110 bcd, and 165mm like an XD2.

I have another set of 172.5 XD2 for trade and a few other square taper 
options.  Let me know if you have anything.

 It works great ... The only other thing that keeps me from

 the water will pool between the bars. Not a big deal but it happens as 
 these seem to be designed more for drop bars?

[RBW] FS: DaVinci Billeted Cranks and Frost River Vintage Backpack

[Dave Grossman]

I'm building my son his first "grown up bike", a 13" Trek 950 Singletrack 
frame and am raising money for the build.

First up are Davinci cranks.  These are 170mm and 104 BCD.  You can order 
different spiders from Davinci.  These are light, strong, and beautiful.  
Billeted and made in the USA.  Low Q factor.  I bought them a few years ago 
to run on my Hunq but I have been using my XD2s as I like the ring options 
of a 110 BCD.

Asking $200 shipped CONUS via Priority Mail

Next up is a Frost River Vintage Pack.  Made in Duluth, a huge pack 
designed for all sorts of adventure.  18 oz waxed canvas.  Classic and 
beautiful.

Re: [RBW] Things I Feel Guilty About: Bike Life

[Dave C]

I have a different perspective. First, when I was growing up, I prized my 
BMX bike and banana seat Schwinn cruiser, even though they were not 
designed to travel distance like an adult Rivendell. Those bikes gave me 
freedom, and I was not capable of understanding that a "better" bike was 
out there, nor would have that served me well. The options we have as first 
world consumers can be liberating, but they can also be a burden that 
occupies too much of our time. A BMX bike is a simple machine, one ring and 
cog, fewer parts to fix. It is unfortunate that many kids bikes are 
infernally heavy proportional to their weight, but they are still amazing 
tools that allow kids to propel themselves in ways no kids prior to the 
last century had at their disposal. 

I bought my 14 year old daughter an e-bike so she can ride to and from 
school everyday on her hilly commute. The e-bike is impressive, but she 
often has battery anxiety, and if it dies she wants to be picked up rather 
than pedal that heavy machine. If she was riding an older 26" hardtail from 
the late 90s or early aughts, she might sweat a bit more on the uphills but 
she would likely just walk up the hardest section and never consider 
calling me. It feels ridiculous that I would spend a bunch of money to make 
a problem easier and then create new problems. My point is, our kids can 
adjust to "inferior" or heavier bikes just like they have for decades, and 
fall in love with biking if they enjoy the adventure. I don't think you 
have anything to regret, you have simply been burdened with the idea that 
you are somehow responsible to give them some especially great bike because 
you did that for yourself; that feeling is powerful and hard to resist, but 
it is not a fact, just a feeling. At least that is my perspective, from my 
own experience. By the way, I have bought my kids the lighter of available

[RBW] Re: Toyo Atlantis fit question, and maybe purchase help

[Dave C]

Kurt, I would base this on whether or not I was running 32 mm tires or 42+ 
mm tires. I had a 61 cm frame that was fine with 32 but if I wanted to 
really use the generous tire clearance, the top tube was higher than 
desirable off road. From what I understand, a 56 cm with 26” tires could 
possibly be better for you if you are running large tires.

[RBW] Re: Hillborne vs. Romulus?

[Dave C]

I would be interested in riding the LB. Since I plan on riding my bike 
frequently off road, I wasn't sure how much I would like a low trail bike 
on occasionally chunky and bumpy fire roads in CA. It's a lot to invest in 
a bike like that without trying it out. I am sure the generous tire 
clearance of the LB would help, but not sure about the handling. I hear 
different perspectives about rough road riding in regards to low trail 
design. I have also been interested in the Bombora, which I thought would 
be superior for my choices then the Fargo I had once and sold. Dave

[RBW] Re: Hillborne vs. Romulus?

[Dave C]

When I briefly discussed my comparisons between the Homer and the Romulus, 
I did not consider the differences between the wheelset of the bikes. I 
have basically the same tires on each bike, and each has a Sugino triple, 
but the Romulus has the stock Araya road rims and 105 hubs, whereas the 
Homer has Velocity Dyads and XT hubs. I can't speak to the spoke difference 
right now, but it occurs to me that people have discussed ride quality 
differences between wheelsets. I have to admit I have very little 
understanding of how different rims may affect ride quality, and not just 
in terms of weight differences. I would appreciate any observations people 
have had on how a bike like the Homer might ride differently based on the 
wheelset, assuming the same tires. thanks, Dave

[RBW] Re: Hillborne vs. Romulus?

[Dave C]

I was in a rush yesterday evening when I wrote my last post; here is a bit 
more information that might be useful. I have a Romulus, a Hilsen, a Soma 
Double Cross, and I used to have an Atlantis that I owned for ten years 
(1st ten Toyo). They are all great bikes, but I think that one's weight, 
their load, and the terrain and tires make a big difference in how the bike 
feels and the perceptions of stiffness. My Atlantis was an excellent bike, 
and I sold it due to size (I wanted to run larger tires on it and it was 
too large once I put bigger tires on it). For lightly loaded riding, I 
prefer the Romulus and Soma, which feel very pleasant with vigorous efforts 
on hills, an important quality to me. I believe off road and/or with 
greater loads, the bikes may feel differently, but I am still testing out 
the Hilsen further. I do have the Hilsen for sale, because I need a bike 
more like the Romulus but with tire clearances similar to the old Atlantis. 
That is a hard niche to fill, because it seems most bikes that clear a 
45-50 tend to be built up more stiffly relative to the Romulus. I really 
believe that our personal attributes are just as important as the bike's 
construction; people often state "this bike is flexy/stiff" but I think 
it's probably more accurate to say "for my weight and riding choices, this 
bike is flexy/stiff". Dave in Carlsbad

[Dave C]

Dan, I have been meaning to write a post about some long term riding 
comparisons I have been making between a Toyo Homer and a Toyo Romulus. I 
have more to say, but I will keep it simple for the moment - yes, there is 
a difference. I have a 59 cm Romulus that rides differently, more flexy in 
a good sense, than the 61 cm Homer.  I will add more later, but I believe 
the Romulus is at my weight -175 pounds - a better ride for light loads and 
fast rides, and the the Homer is a little more stiff, perhaps an advantage 
with greater weight loads. I would wager the Sam will be more like the 
Homer than the Romulus. If you have a 59 cm Romulus, I will buy it from 
you. I have. side pull Romulus and would like a canti one as well.

[RBW] Stolen 58cm Rivendell Atlantis - Berkeley

[Dave]

Hello, 

My 58cm Atlantis was stolen from my front porch yesterday afternoon, near 
UC Berkeley. 

I can't find a picture of the current build, however:
It is notable for the Nitto Bullmoose Bars and silver Pletscher rear rack. 
At the time of theft it also had fenders, a mini front rack + basket, 
sackville panniers, and lights. 
It is a standard, green 58cm Toyo Atlantis from around 2005.. 

If you have any leads please let me know. 

Best, .
Dave

I still have this for sale. It is terrific shape overall, excepting some 
paint chipping on the seat tube/top tube lug at the pointy end.

Re: [RBW] Widest tires on green Quickbeam?

[Dave Grossman]

I have 42 Soma Grand Vitesse on currently.  I tried Big Apples once but 
couldn't get them to fit.  I wonder if clearance is much difference between 
colors at all?  I have a pair of Snoqualmies from my recently sold Homer 
that I will try once the weather gets nicer.  In the winter I run 35 
Marathon supremes and fenders and its worked great.  I have Belgiums so I 
suppose I am maxing out width as well with those.

[RBW] Bambo conversion

[Dave Faller]

I have a 2007 Rambouillet, which I purchased new from RBW.  Now that I've 
gotten into "senior" range I find that I'd like to pedal more upright, so 
I'm considering putting Albatross bars on it.  I don't see many Rams with 
anything but Noodle bars, so I'm wondering if it's just a bad idea.  
Anybody with a Ram done this?

[RBW] FS: 63cm A Homer Hilsen (Toyo)

[Dave Grossman]

Looking to move my 63cm Homer.  I've had it built up in various ways but it 
currently is in adventure mode with the Towel bars and Maxxis tires.  I ran 
it with the Chest which was a fun setup (I'm keeping the Chest!)  I've fit 
44s and fenders on here as well, so the sky is the limit.  Three bottle 
bosses as is the Toyo hallmark.

Pics Here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/mAiJtERdHSeNrScn7

Build:
63cm frame and fork
Ultegra Headset
Crust Towel bars (660!)
Nitto Technomic 60cm stem
Tektro 556 Brakes
Sugino XD Double (48/36)
Deore RD
Microshift FD
Microshift bar ends
11-34 8 speed cassette
Mavic A119s laced to XT silver hubs
Maxxis Ravager 700x40 120 tpi tires (tubes)
Blue Lug Bar Tape with some Cinelli Splash
VO Post

No saddle or pedals

*ASKING $1900 NET*
Shipping at buyers expense (I'm in Chicago)

I'd be open to a trade for a Sam in a 60cm or something as well, even down 
to a frameset but thats about all.

[RBW] FS: LL Bean Cordua Mountain Jeans 32X34 (Think Swrve)

[Dave Grossman]

I bought these to commute in last year from LL Bean and just don't dig 
them.  I have owned Swrve jeans as well and they are really similar 
(perhaps made in the same factory) and fit a bit less skinny than Swrve.

They are a mix of cordura, cotton, and spandex and also have a crotch 
gusset.  I normally wear a 33 and they fit well.  They have a reflective 
strip on the cuff as well.

[RBW] WTB: 700c and 650b wheels, tubeless, dynamo, a few other things

[Dave C]

I would like to get a lightweight 700c rim brake wheel set for my Romulus. 
A dynamo front would be nice, but not absolutely necessary. I’m looking for 
silver high quality rims and hubs, like a Velocity Quill and 105 hubs (or 
dynamo hub). Will want to put up to a 38 mm.

Additionally, I would like to get a front dynamo 650b rim brake wheel with 
a silver light rim. Like the 700c wheels, this will be for unloaded fast 
rides, with 38-45 mm cushy tires.This would be for my wife’s AHH.

I’d like to buy something used but with lots of life, that is in good to 
excellent aesthetic condition. Maybe you have a project that you abandoned 
or changed wheel sizes.
Other items:
Good dynamo lights and mounts.
Canti Sam Hillborne 58-59 cm (for a 76.5-77 saddle height)
Also looking for lightly used banana bag, lightly used trunksack, Nitto 
mini rack that works with sidepulls, Nitto M151 bar or Albastache bar, 
Nitto R10 saddlebag support, front dynamo 29er wheel for disc brake Fargo, 
newish RH Barlow tires.

Where is the best place to buy a Quill wheelset?

Re: [RBW] Re: ISO: New wheelset for Romulus

[Dave C]

Thank you! Yes, tubeless compatible matters. I believe it is increasingly 
common to run 38 mm tires tubeless. I mainly have experience with tubeless 
in the 2"+ widths.

[RBW] Re: ISO: New wheelset for Romulus

[Dave C]

That is a great suggestion. And you mentioned something else; I know some 
people have converted their Romulus to 650B, and I believed that involved a 
new pair of brakes and a new wheelset. I don't know how well their 
conversion went, in terms of tire clearance and bottom bracket height. 

Back to Velo Orange - are their rims and hubs as good as a Velocity A23 or 
Pacenti? I really wish I knew more about rim quality, but I don't.

[RBW] ISO: New wheelset for Romulus

[Dave C]

I don't follow discussions about wheelsets for rim brake road bikes today, 
so I do not know what I should use to replace my stock wheelset of my 
Romulus. I like to ride this bike light and fast, and I will definitely use 
tires between 30-38 mm. Is there a great lightweight wheelset that I should 
look for new or used? Maybe you have a set you'd like to sell? I know I 
don't want a "heavy duty" pair of wheels; I'm not a heavy person and I do 
not break spokes or break equipment. I am open to different rim materials, 
as long as it will last a while.

Thanks for any feedback. I always value your opinions. Dave in Carlsbad

[RBW] Re: Green QB and Rock and Roads

[Dave Grossman]

Thanks for the feedback.  I've been running Soma Supple Vitesse in a 42 and 
they clear fine without fenders on Belgiums.  I tried to mount some Big 
Bens for fun and the front was fine but the rear didn't work.  I think a 
38-40 is the sweet spot for the QB.  I'm debating throwing my SKS fenders 
back on and with those I used to run 35 Marathon Supremes or some 32 Gravel 
King slicks.
