[RBW] Re: WTB 60 cm Sam

[DaveS]

Nick-Ive got a 60 Sam frame, with wheels, tires, side pull brakes, bars and 
misc other parts that I did not use for a build of an Atlantis.  Not sure 
what you need, other than the frame.  It is a double top tube, in the light 
blue color.  I can get some good pictures of how it sits tonight when I get 
home.  Not sure what they are retailing for but suspect I will likely ask 
$1200 or so plus shipping for the frame, fork and BB.  Let me know if you 
are interested, and what parts you would like if any.  Thanks.

[RBW] Appaloosa/Sam

[DaveS]

Good morning everyone, curious about adding a second Rivendell.  I 
currently have a Bombadil, and would like something a little more sporty 
for my daily fitness rides.  I am larger than most, 6 3, 280 and am looking 
at a Sam and an Appaloosa.  I wont ride fast at this size, but get a good 
12-15 mile ride in every day.  Clearly need wider than normal tires for 
this, but something less than the 55 schwalbes that are on my Bombadil, 
which is set up with MAP bars, basket/rack/etc for usefulness.  My concern 
is that the Appaloosa isn't that much different from what I have, and the 
Sam is more "sporty" for a larger person.  Appreciate the direction.

[RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[DaveS]

Lum-speaking solely for myself, and I am not a doctor, variety remains the 
spice of life. I used low carb/ sugar and most importantly portion control to 
lose the weight. I still stay low carb for most meals but I do not deny myself 
anything in moderation and infrequently. For instance I quit drinking beer like 
I used to, instead of 10 or so a week I have one when I want one, not because I 
am socially being pushed to drink. Same w a coke, instead of daily it’s 
infrequent but tastes so good! Same w food, it is about choice and frequency 
and dietary changes. According to the nutritionist that got me straightened out 
I was eating 6000 to 8000 calories a day on a typical day and am now under 3000 
most days by making different choices and retraining, it does get sorted out 
over time and you get into the groove,

Lum-speaking only for myself here. If I overdo and go out  of ketosis I dry out 
from the meal and put myself back in within a few days. I have tried cheat days 
throwing in burgers fries coke for lunch once a week, without any weirdness to 
my glucose readings which is one of those data points that I check to see how I 
am reacting to food . I have found that I process foods better eating smaller 
more vegan portions w clean proteins, but the weight loss is likely more 
responsible for that kick start w good choice not diet keeping it going. There 
was an I tersting article about this in Tuesday’s NYTimes science section

Re: [RBW] Re: Eat Bacon Don't Jog--Goal set, goal met

[DaveS]

First Bill congrats. Second thank you for pointing me to the Sam for my go fast 
build, it’s in its way

I took the paleo/EBDJ to heart a little over a year ago. I was type 2 diabetic 
w A1C of almost 9. Did t even know I was a mess. Cholesterol of 234.  Went off 
carbs sugar processed food and junk cold turkey. Over the first month the 
numbers dropped from 234 to 135, A1C to below 5, BP was normal wo meds. Total 
weight loss is about 160 pounds to date, a year later. I resisted the scale but 
needed to realize how fat I was, and use it to monitor status but Deacon speaks 
some truth, I now use body feel and clothes to keep moving. I went from a 54 
pant to a 46, 3xl to 1xl, but I know when I have overdone it by energy, 
lethargy and “feel” now. I am dead when I binge on carbs, pizza bread etc and a 
year later just can’t tolerate the bloating. It comes w time and, like any drug 
is eventually beatable, you flip, get back up, work out harder, dry out and 
move forward.

Poster child for this same issue and response. Cut carbs and sugar to lose 
weight last year, glucose BP cholesterol dropped precipitously within a month 
and lost 140 pounds in a year from my year of drying out. I have slowly tried 
to add some carbs back into my diet but my digestive system revolts w acid 
reflux bloating and related. Can’t. Moment on Leonard nor would I remotely be 
qualified to but I know how my system responds now.

[RBW] Re: Riv selection question

[DaveS]

As always thank you for your time and thoughtful responses.  I seem to have 
missed the obvious option, again... which was to try smaller tires on the Riv. 
I am so mentally locked into " breaking and flatting" that I keep the big 
apples on both riv and Fargo w the jones running maxxus 29 by 3.00and that 
it is me not the frame tires gears or whatever. And that it really is like a 
Legol bike, easy to plug and play

[RBW] Riv selection question

[DaveS]

I appreciate everyone's help earlier this month solving the elusive n-1 
equation. As mentioned I currently have a Bombadil for around town path and 
related usage. Not as it was designed as I have the Jones for that heavier duty 
riding as a mountain/ trail bike. The responses got me thinking that I was 
using the wrong tool for the job, as a "daily rider." This brings me to the 
crux of my question- what is the better Rivendell for a large person (280) as a 
road bike/trainer, etc? Several folks mentioned the Homer and Sam, but would 
they work as a daily driver that is sportier, lighter than the Bombadil? And 
would a bigger person crush them, which is why Grant suggested the Bombadil. 
Finally I presume that the heavy duty Velocity wheels would switch over should 
I move or add another Riv. In closing thank you for the help advice and 
direction. It is a good forum, and you all treat each other well which is to be 
commended in the din of the online world.

Re: [RBW] N minus 2 plus 1

[DaveS]

Thanks everyone for the thoughts. Indeed the Fargo and Troll are for sale.

Bill I am curious why you suggested the Sam or AHH instead of the Roadini, as I 
am starting to think that 33's are a little small for a wide man..even 
given Riv's assurance that it will be fine.the mental me has me riding some 
New England fall brevets with the Roadini and being wildly fast while the other 
me reminds that me that I am not a racer...which makes the Sam the one

Jon need to check my PBH. Just noticed the geometry chart, got so wrapped up in 
the bike that I forgot to compare! I'm currently riding a 60cm Bombadil and it 
fits.

[RBW] N minus 2 plus 1

[DaveS]

Good evening, my name is Dave and I have a problem, which it appears that 
many others here do as well!  I am reviewing my stable and find that I have 
ended up building four of essentially the same bike.first, a Gen 1 
Fargo, fits great, with dirt drops, and spare wheel set with knobbies, the 
second, the freak bike, and XL troll with heavy duty DH wheels, Velo Orange 
Daija bars, front shock, Chris King, and related component builds, a jones 
bike 29 plus and a big 60 cm bombadil built up with racks, Velo orange 
porteau bars and related components.the bombadil and the fargo are my 
primary road rides, primary on the Erie Canal and similar paved/dirt trails 
in the area (upstate NY).  The Jones is used as an off road, and snow bike 
fitted with a fat front and the Troll was built up with spare parts to use 
for CX.  Unfortunately, when I built them I was about 150 pounds larger 
than I am nowwhich brings me to my question and need for guidance.  I 
am going to sell the Troll (-1) plus or minus the Bombadil or Jones (-2) 
and am considering replacing with a Homer or Sam.my thoughts is that 
that would be a more road/paved fun bike f or longer riders, or Random type 
rides now that I am much smaller.  The overlap that I see is that the Fargo 
and Bombadil would likely fit the same niche, but are not as sporty.  So, 
my question is, is there that much of a ride difference from the Bombadil 
into a more country and road type Riv?  I know that many of you have 
multiple Riv's, and use them in many different ways...but the overlap in 
the fleet seems to beg the consideration.  Appreciate any input, this has 
been a great board to learn from and you all got me into the Bombadil.  And 
if anyone is interested in the XL Troll, let me know!  it will need a good 
home!

Good evening Scott, interested in the Sam.  Curious what your inseam/PBH 
is?  I currently am riding a 60 Bombadil and am a little worried that this 
may be too big.  Thanks!
