[RBW] Re: Spanninga on hammered fender? Does it sit right?
You may need to take the light apart and solder the contacts for the light to fit flush against the fender. It's a hassle, but I had to go that route.

Anyone have experience with these hubs? They have some good reviews and are considerably less expensive than some of the german brands.

[RBW] Re: Curious: saddle bags versus panniers?
Hyalite equipment http://hyaliteequipment.com makes waterproof panniers that fit both sizes of rack tubing. I agree that saddlebags look great, but also nothing is as easy as taking panniers on and off. Now is just need a really fancy rear rack instead of just my old aluminum one. On Tuesday, May 26, 2015 at 7:44:50 PM UTC-6, Patrick Moore wrote: I know many of y'all swear by big saddlebags, supported or not. I've used many if not most of the various large (Nelson upward) saddlebags made over the last 20 years, and though I really like them (I loved the Hoss on the trike and the Sackville Medium on the Curt) I always, always, always come back to a rack and panniers. In fact, my first principle of saddlebag use is: *Thou shalt not use a rack, the absence of rack being the very *raison d'etre, purpose, advantage, benefit, and finality-in-the-Aristotelian-sense *of the saddlebag; but thou mayest use a support.* So: you reasons pro for saddlebags, with or without racks; And your reasons con for same. My two reasons: 1. I can carry more in 2 panniers than in the largest saddlebag (well, I've not used the Sackville Large, but don't tell me it carries more than 2 Ortlieb Packers or Rollers); after all, if I'm gonna use a rack, then I might as well get max vol. 2. Rack/panniers are flexible: None; 1 small; 2 small; 1 small + 1 big; 2 big. Not to mention the various patterns, colors, shapes, sizes, and styles of pannier I can attach or forgo attaching. -- Resumes, LinkedIn profiles, bios, and letters that get interviews.

[RBW] Re: FS: Size 61 Canti-Romulus, built in 2006. $850
The photo link has been removed. You might want to post another. On Monday, May 4, 2015 at 3:52:56 PM UTC-6, r.s...@sbcglobal.net wrote: I am selling the first Rivendell that I ever purchased new. It is a 61 cm frame, built up in April of 2006. I purchased it on April 8, 2006. It has long been one of my favorite Riv’s, but I have not ridden it too often in the past few years, mainly because it still has drop bars. I much prefer Alba’s these days, which all my other bikes now have. I just can’t see this frame without the Noodles that it came with. It really is a road bike, and most of my rides these days are commutes or fireroads. The RBW descriptive about this frame was : *“The Romulus is a road frame, virtually interchangeable with the Rambouillet, and it rides dreamily. But if you're reasonably skillful and have reasonable judgement, you'll find it a delight on fire trails as well (with appropriate tires). The cantilver brakes open up the area under the crown, and let's a lot of things happen there. When you pick your parts from this list, we'll make sure they all add up to a smart, working bike. Any questions, just ask, we're happy to answer anything. Toe clip overlap will happen on 55cm 57cm frames, depending on your tire, and fenders. It's not a big deal, not worth fretting about, and most certainly is not a design goof. But some folks can't live with it, and if you're among 'em don't get one of these. SIZING: Refer to page 76 in the catalogue, to get your PBH. Your frame size is PBH minus 25 to 27. If minus 25 lands you on a 61 and minus 27 says a 59.”* I have about 3800 miles on the frame and drivetrain. I don’t baby my bikes, so it has reasonable beausage, but no dents. Always garaged. Mechanically, I take good cars of my bikes. However, I don’t wash and clean them often, and barely did a cursory wipe-down to prep for this sale. Just not my thing. The longest single ride I took on this frame was an Oregon coast ride in 2007. I also have ridden it in several local centuries. I am asking $850 + cost of shipping. If you live within 30 minutes of my home in San Francisco (near the Golden Gate Bridge) I will bring it to you. PayPal is OK, otherwise a cashiers check from USPS.
