[RBW] FS: handelbars in Bay Area

2020-05-04 Thread Doug Bloch
Apologies for the cross posting.

I haven’t been on any of the boards in a long time, but this pandemic affords 
me the opportunity to do some spring cleaning.

So in no particular order, here we go:

Gran Bois Maes Parallel bars - 42cm - $50
3ttt bars and .65 mm 3ttt Record stem - $45
Soma Lauterwasser Cr.Mo - $25
2 Nitto NJS Cr.Mo. Bars - $30 for the pair

Or take them all for $120!

Will throw in the beat up Sakae Randonneur and 3ttt bars for free if you 
purchase them all. Otherwise they are going to the co-op.

Pics here: https://imgur.com/gallery/Yxb2AP9 <https://imgur.com/gallery/Yxb2AP9>

Local pick up in Alameda, California only please.

Thanks,

Doug Bloch

[RBW] For sale - Gilles Berthoud Arabesque saddle - black. Used on one ride

2019-10-12 Thread Doug Bloch
That is a great deal. At 180mm this saddle is 5mm wider than the B17. Their 
widest model, in fact. Someone will be very happy with it.

John,

Thanks for depressing me as well. Upon further research, I found this NY Times 
review of bike locks very helpful. Looks like I will be moving back to a 
Kryptonite u-lock.

[RBW] Re: Bar tape color recommendation

2019-04-09 Thread Doug Bloch
I have used amber shellac on both yellow and orange Newbaum’s and found the 
yellow to be closer to the honey brown on a Brooks.

The old adage was the tape should match the saddle. Are you sticking with that 
one? And are you committed to cloth tape/shellac?

Original owner. Purchased in 2009, and, except for a few miles for a shakedown,

Designed by Rivendell, and built by Panasonic in Japan, the Quickbeam is a

2018-10-22 Thread Doug Bloch
IMO, you cannot go wrong with TB14 rims. They are beautiful and bomb-proof. My 
LBS is a big fan.

As for your hub choices, again either one is a winner unless you are trying to 
shave off some weight as you suggest. Those rims with either hubs would be (for 
me) about the most beautiful vintage-inspired new wheelset you could get.

[RBW] Re: Tektro TRP RRL vs. Shimano Tiagra type BRL400 brake levers?

2018-09-09 Thread Doug Bloch
Thanks!  The stem is a Crust bikes fillet-brazed chromoly threadless stem. 
 You can't get them in this length right now unfortunately.

The shim would definitely make it look like brifters.  My goal with this 
build was to make a light fixed gear bike that looked classic but with all 
new components.  I succeeded I think.  18 lbs of glorious lugged Reynolds 
steel.

[RBW] Re: Tektro TRP RRL vs. Shimano Tiagra type BRL400 brake levers?

2018-09-07 Thread Doug Bloch
I’ve used the Tiagras, basic Tektros, and TRP RRLs. The TRPs are the most 
comfortable for me and look pretty. They offer multiple points of contact on 
the levers and a solid perch to sit on if you like to ride on the hoods a lot.

YMMV of course.

[RBW] Full brimmed hat recommendations

2018-08-20 Thread Doug Bloch
I will wholeheartedly second the recommendation for a Tilley hat. I initially 
balked at the price tag because I couldn’t how a Hat could be worth that much. 
But since I’ve owned it I have found it is worth every penny. Somehow the 
longer it’s on your head the more comfortable it becomes even when you are hot 
and sweating. It offers excellent sun protection. You can get it wet And it 
even floats. It’s easy to wash, you can crumple it up and it doesn’t lose it’s 
form. Worth every penny!

[RBW] CL outing: vintage Rivendell Baggins large seat bag and panniers

2018-08-08 Thread Doug Bloch
I have connection to the seller, but these should be of interest to this 
group.  I would buy them but I am about to unload my Baggins handlebar and 
medium size seat bag. Buy these and mine and get the whole set LOL.

Doug Bloch
Alameda CA USA

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/bop/d/ultra-rare-rivendell-seat-bag/6665855947.html

Ultra Rare! Rivendell seat bag, largest size, waxed cotton - $80 (lower 
haight)

Used but in good, if not great, condition. Waxed cotton, water resistant 
(not waterproof), largest size they made. Works best with a rack for more 
stability. Fits a lot of stuff. Rivendell does not make these anymore and 
this style is rare for sure. Every time I used this someone would stop me 
and ask about it. Every time. Haha. It's weird. Used less than 40 times. 
Rivendell bags, and bikes, are legendary for quality and craftsmanship.

Ultra rare! Rivendell panniers. Waxed cotton. - $100 (lower haight)
Used but in good, if not great, condition. How do you judge that anyhow? In 
use less than 20x. Still water resistant. Not waterproof. Still has the 
Alder branch tie-down. These things are rare for real. If you do not know 
Rivendell or their bikes and bags look em up. Legendary. Every time I used 
them someone on the road would ask me about them. Killer style. Was over 
$200 new..

Joe,

I had them most recently with a Technomic. What I’ve found is I just don’t like

One of these days I am going to pop in at RBW and try the Albastache on a demo.

The Dingle is one of these things I’ve suspected for awhile I would like in

I could never get over the idea of having to stop and move the chain manually, 
and I was never clear if this could be engineered to be used with a derailleur, 
essentially giving you a geared fixed gear bike. The same goes for the White

Yes I am selling a 1976 Motobecane Grand Jubilé with the long cage and everyone 
wants me to part it out. 

Not to hijack the thread though, so as to the topic I second the vote for 
Suntour derailleurs. I run the Cyclone on my bike with Simplex Retrofriction 
shifter in a 1x6 setup.

 I have VGT Luxe long cage RD, FD, and downtube shifters I'd let go for a 
reasonable price.

My experience? B17 was comfortable right out of the box. Brooks Pro does take a 
lot longer to break in as some others said. Cambium felt hard and inflexible, 
and that was disappointing because I really wanted to like it. I would still 
like to try a carved one though.

Used B17s can be had for cheap on Craigslist and they have a good resale value. 
Give one a try!
