Selling my Rivendell A. Homer Hilsen frameset, so frame, fork, and headset. 
The frame is in outstanding shape as shown in the pictures. The stem and 
handlebars are not included in the price. It is the Toyo version so made in 
Japan. This is a catch and release as I bought it a few months ago from 
here or ibob.

The size is 63cm. You can find the geometry for the Toyo Homer at the

The price is $1,500 shipped CONUS.

Bumping with a price drop to $1,500.

I saw the general 2024 craigslist post that posted my Roadeo.  I want to 
note the repaint was done by the original owner because he wanted a 
different color. 

Selling because the frame was always a little to big for me.  Going to use

If the nut goes into the brake bridge or fork it is recessed.  If the nut

Good Evening,

Looking for a Wilbury or Glorius in size 60 or 62cm. I can’t remember if 
they were made in 62cm, but either will work.  I know the Velo Orange Mixte 
was only made in 60cm as the largest.  

Let me know what you got and interested in selling.

[RBW] Re: Show Me Your Roadeo!

2021-09-21 Thread MCT

Tim,

I measured the head tube at approx 21.1 cm from top to bottom.

You asked about ride compared to Sam Hillborne.  I rode a Sam until about 
2012ish, so been awhile and feel of the Sam has faded a little.  In my 
opinion, the Roadeo has the standard balanced feel of a Rivendell.  It does 
feel more lively than the sam and I can get going faster.  That is all I 
have in comparison.

Paul. Thanks for sharing photos.  I didn’t go with the P45s in case I needed to 
do some bending.  

John G. The tires are 700x32 and def the max size with fenders.  I don’t like a 
large front bag except for commuting, so my plan is a large rear bag and small 
front bag. I can fit most everything I would need to have while riding in the 
front with a small bag.  Anything I need while stopped can fit in the back no 
problem. It is backwards to the typical brevet bike, but works for me.

I measured the Stack and Reach.  I had to look how how to do it.  This is 
how I did it to make sure on same page.  For Stack, I measured from floor 
to top of center of headtube.  Then measured from floor to center of bottom 
bracket.  I then subtracted these two numbers.  For Reach,  with bike 
against a wall, I measured from center of top of headtube to the rear of 
the frame to the wall.  I then measured from the center of bottom bracket 
to the rear of the wall.  I subtracted these measurements.  I used a level 
to make sure the proper length because the top tube has a little but of 
slope.  

For stack, I measured 26.25 inches or 66.75 cm.  For reach I measured 14.5 
inches or 36.83 cm.

Joe. It is raining at my place, but will get some better pics in the sunlight.  
May need that if it heads to EBay. 

Thanks for the feedback everyone.  It has a little bit of a shorter top tube, 
so not as long in the drops than the standard Riv geometry.  

I bought it from Rivendell and has about 600 miles on it, so practically almost 
new.

2019-10-11 Thread MCT
Good Evening Bunch,

Life happens and I have to sell my Homer. I planned on keeping for a long time, 
but even cash at times is more important when there are higher priorities. 

I am selling frame, fork, and headset.  The headset is FSA.  

It is English blue with a single top tube.  It was semi custom when I got it.  
The seat tube is 65cm and I am measuring the top tube center to center at 23 
inches or 58cm.   The chain stay length is 49cm.  So a little different than 
the standard MUSA Homer geometry.  

The frame is in excellent. I only can see or know if one little mark on the top 
tube that is barely noticeable and shown with pictures.  The dropouts of course 
has marks from the QRs. 

Price is $1,800 shipped CONUS.  Please let me know if you have any questions or 
want to see a picture of something specific.  


Thanks,
Matt

It is a mixed bag as there are exceptions to what sizes have a double top 
tube.   I have a 65cm A. Homer Hilsen (MUSA) that is a single top tube.  I 
did not request a single top tube, as I purhcased it from Rivendell after 
it was built.  The bike may be a little big for me, but the secondary 
market for steel bike with rim brakes has taken a dive, so not selling 
right now.

[RBW] Re: Crust Towel Rack Drops on Your Riv? Which stem are you using?

2019-04-04 Thread MCT
I should note this stem is the same as the one Rivendell sells, but the 
quill length is shorter.  I think Riv is 225mm, while the one I am using is 
190mm.

I use the Nitto NTC-DX in 70cm reach with my towel rock on an MUSA Homer.  
Important to know it is an MUSA Homer because the top tube is not as long 
as the MIT Homer, so the reach is not as long as the MIT homer.  I like a 
wide stance or grip with a shorter reach, so this set up works well for me 
in drop bar.  I have not used any other stems.  The stem is linked below.

+1 on the helmet.  I forgot mine for a ride last week on the bike path. I 
still rode, felt out of place and paid extra attention.

Re: [RBW] Shoes for rambling.

2019-01-12 Thread MCT
+1 on the Shimano GR-7.   No problems walking in them.  They have a nice and 
stiff sole for being on the pedals.  After a long ride of pushing hard on the 
pedals, my feet don’t hurt. I have found regular shoes my feet will hurt after 
awhile because the sole is too thin.

[RBW] PSA: 56cm Quickbeam in Chicago

2019-01-05 Thread MCT
The tape measure looks low and not in the center of the BB.  Not sure if it is 
a half inch low to make it to 22” or 56cm.

[RBW] Re: New Rivendell A. Homer Hilsen (MUSA Type) Report

2018-12-27 Thread MCT
   John, I see fenders happening in a little. I agree the bike would look 
better with them.  The past few rides, dirt is accumulating and I know fenders 
would block the dirt.  I have to dig up my patience and a few hours to put them 
on.  I got the hang of building up bikes and did not create any instant 
beasuage with this build. Fenders on the other hand are my arch nemesis.  

Brynnar.  I put on the Nitto NTC-DX to help know the specific stem. The reach 
is 60cm.  I have not had any issues with flex.   I am not sure if I can 
attribute it to the stem.  I haven’t ridden any other bars with this stem or 
other stems with the bars so I don’t have a comparison or reference point. I 
generally don’t lean hard on the bars, so not sure if that is a factor.  Good 
luck finding the right combo with the towel rack.  It is a great handlebar.

+1 on the Kool Stop Thinline Salmons.  I never had any issues.  Whenever I buy

You are doing the right thing.   Many more years in the saddle and only a few
