[RBW] Re: Let's see your Rivendell headbadges

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Nice! I wish I had the badges I used for the poster, but alas they were all 
loaners (Grant sent me a bunch for the original poster), or photos I found 
online. The only badge I have at this point is the one on my Clem. Tell me 
more about the 5th one from the left. Looks like it could be the original 
pewter, or maybe a pre-cloisonne. Some of yours also look flat - clue us 
in. 

Cheers,

Marty

[RBW] Re: Headbadge Poster Update and Outtake

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

FYI - I've had good luck at Walgreens for printing the badge posters, but 
have also done them at OfficeMax. The hi res file is sized at 18" x 24" 
(5400 x 7200 @300dpi). Plenty of frames that size to choose from .

[RBW] WTB - Heron Touring 61/63

On the lookout for a Heron touring (canti brakes) in 61cm or 63cm. Maybe 
someone has one perched in the rafters? If not you, maybe you know of one 
in the wild?

Really nice, thoughtful build Matthew, and I like the color on this bike. 
Classic Riv! Funky-cool rear brake cable hanger you got there! Curious 
about the area on the seat tube above the front derailer. Industrial 
accident?

[RBW] Re: Annual Head-Badge Poster Update

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Climbing past 2,300 views now - a new record for these updates! Glad you 
all like it. Beginning to think about something new. Open to ideas from the 
bunch as to what kind of Riv-related poster (or calendar?) you might like 
to see. I've done one of the bike models before, but it was difficult to 
find good hi-res photos of all the bikes. No promise that I'll do something 
in the near future, but when the mood strikes I want to have some ideas in 
mind that this group would appreciate.

Re: [RBW] Bombadil and Hunqapillar origins: The definitive thread

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

I may have shared this years ago, but when the idea of a diagatube Hunq was 
floated out there, I took the liberty of photoshopping the concept based on 
the double top tube model. That led to a conversation with Grant and a 
whole bunch of quick iterations for different paint and graphic details. 
Here is the complete series. You may notice I eventually used the tire 
graphics to keep track of which was which - I think it ended at #22. I am a 
rank amateur when it comes to photoshop, but it was close enough at the 
time. Crazy to look back now and imagine how different it could have been. 
Have fun browsing the pics! See if you can spot the nifty details like an 
extra seat tube badge on a couple of them. (I still like that idea.)

[RBW] Nivex on a Rivendell?

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

The Nivex is on the market now, and I really like the look of it. Even at 
$729.00 it feels like money well spent if you want something a little 
different and appreciate all that goes into making something like this. 
KUDOs to Jan for sticking with it. 
Nivex Rear 
<https://www.renehersecycles.com/shop/components/derailleurs/nivex-rear-derailleur/>
[image: Oregon-Outback-RH_Nivex-600x387.jpeg]

For a custom Rivendell, it might make for a very sweet build. If my ship 
comes in I'd be tempted to spring for one, but I'll hold out until I see 
the new Riv rear derailer.

Re: [RBW] Re: Annual Head-Badge Poster Update

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Badges have been done by different artists over the years, I have no idea 
if there is any way to ID who did what - Grant would know. I've had good 
luck printing at Walgreens in the past. Bring the file on a thumb drive or 
set it up on line. The Hi Res full size print is large - it's 300dpi - so 
plan accordingly. 

Heron was a bit of an outlier - yes a different company but a big dose of 
the DNA of Rivendell at the time was baked in. Later on, SOMA also built 
bikes that were advised/designed by Grant, but not quite the same thing. 
Early in the poster series Grant mentioned Heron belonged, but SOMA not so 
much.

[RBW] Annual Head-Badge Poster Update

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Had some time to update the poster, and made a number of changes to keep 
things interesting. Hope you all like it.

   1. Highlighted the very first Rivendell badge (cast pewter) front and 
   center and larger than life.
   2. Swapped in a new version of the Riv badge in purple at the top left - 
   I had not seen this one before. I like it!
   3. Brought back the Heron badge. I LOVE it! 
   4. Swapped in a different version of the Roadeo badge - this time in 
   blue.  
   5. Added the latest badge: the "Roaduno" even though it's not being sold 
   yet. 
   6. Enlarged the entire poster to 18X24 to accommodate all the badges. 
   Frames are standard for this size print. 

I keep thinking this will be the last update,  but if RIvendell continues 
to add new models I'm duty bound to plug ahead. 

As always, here's the link to the hi-res file on Flickr. Download and print 
to your heart's content! Enjoy the holiday season and every ride throughout 
the year!

[RBW] Clemuno

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Today's Riv email mentioned the Roaduno is kind of like a Clem H singler. 
Pretty close! In this overlay you can see my ghosted Clem behind the 
Roaduno.

[RBW] Hecho Where?

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

I've always liked the Made in USA labels on Sackville products, and support 
many companies who try to support US-based businesses. Not easy these days. 
I'm not anti-non-US made stuff, but I try to be aware. 

A recent purchase of a Kangaroo pouch came to me with a variation on the 
label - now it says "Hecho in Connecticut". (Shouldn't it be Hecho *en* 
Connecticut?)  I get narrowing things down the the state where it is made, 
but why the Hecho part? When did that start?  Not a deal breaker, but I 
prefer the simplicity of "Made in USA".

[RBW] Science Friday - a day early

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

This was an interesting read. 
Busting bicycle stability beliefs 
<https://www.popularmechanics.com/adventure/sports/a6602/physics-of-a-riderless-bike/>

Not sure it has anything to do with anything Riv related, but if it fires 
up a few underutilized brain cells, what's the harm?

[RBW] Re: NBOD: New Bike Ordered Day! The mythical canti-Roa!

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

I like the idea Bill, and wholeheartedly APPROVE! Are you thinking cantis, 
or v-brakes? Timing-wise the new Riv Vs might coincide with frame delivery. 
I'm guessing drop bars? Back in my distant past (and before Riv) I had 
canti bosses added to a Paramount I had custom built. That was a sweet bike 
(and one I never photographed...) so I get the attraction. Color-wise I 
lean in the direction of silver metallic (not grey) and have always liked 
the idea of a red head tube. I grabbed this pic years ago (someone here?) 
and it's still an inspiration. maybe add some red cable housing. 

Looking forward to following along.

Re: [RBW] Re: Clem H Update - Spring 2022

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

B67 - Check. The flip/flop hub will accept a splined cog for fixed, I just 
have not ordered one - It's on my short list though. Running a 36X18 now. 
If that holds I'll order both a White freewheel and splined cog. I'm more 
of a tortoise than a hare, so fast is not one of my objectives. Like 
grilling, I prefer low and slow.

Re: [RBW] Re: Clem H - Holy Hell

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

I did the same to my dedicated one-speeder - a Proteus - with Campagnolo 
dropouts, and it's been going strong for over 30 years that way. I could 
always go back to gears using a bolt-on hanger, but that's not going to 
happen. The Clem may shift again down the road so I kept the option alive, 
and the hanger threads clean, by using the bolt. I often plug unused 
rack/fender eyelets with shorty bolts too, but I try to use the little 
dome-shaped ones if I can find enough of 'em.

Re: [RBW] Re: New Craigslist/others thread

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Yeah, maybe too good a deal. It was sold before I could make the call. 
Someone here snag it? I had a 64 QB a while back, but it always felt just a 
little too tall for me. Fun bike though.

 Hello Heather, I just wanted to pop in here quickly to say hello and 
 welcome! I adore your pumpkin platypus and the accessories you chose -- 
 such wonderful taste! I'm a newbie here as well, having just purchased a

 had 
 been an admirer for about a decade and finally decided to take a chance on 
 a Riv without ever riding one -- and it is just an unbelievably wonderful 
 bike. This folks on this forum, especially the #rivsisters like Leah and 
 Roberta, have been so warm, welcoming, and wonderfully supportive. So much 
 so that I also have a new Clem Smith Jr. getting a dyno hub at my local 
 bike shop. Hope to see you 'round here, and please share all the pics!

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

That was fun to watch - thanks for taking the time to make it. Gotta love 
the cup & cone BB! You put grease in all kinds of places I've never thought 
to put grease. A little woodworking thrown in is right up my alley. The 
build turned out great. Would love to have seen it ride off into the sunset 
at the end, but maybe that's the next chapter. Keep 'em coming.

[RBW] The BOB Gazette - The Complete Archive

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Thanks to several members of this Bunch and the iBOB group, we now have a 
complete record of every BOB Gazette (and companion BOB Cat) published in 
1993 and 1994 - eight issues in all. 

The story these tell - the ups and downs, the people who made it work, the 
optimism and the defeat - paint a picture that stands the test of time. Of 
course we all know where it led, but for now let's enjoy the journey Grant 
(BOB #99) and others took us all on when life was simple. I highly 
recommend reading them in order. Special thanks to BOB #717 for making this 
record available, and Reed for hosting. I may have had a BOB # myself, but 
it's long gone. Thankfully, the memories remain, and the archive below will 
keep them fresh. Enjoy!

[RBW] Re: I singleized my Clem

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Need to see that Puegeot! My knees are also letting me know that I'm over 
65 now, so I tend to err on the low side gear-wise. (And I lived in central 
Illinois for a while so I know the prairie headwinds) The trail I ride 
inclines slightly (2%?) for 20 miles in both directions toward it's summit 
near where I get on. Amazing how it looks dead flat but if I ride too far 
in either direction I pay for it on the way back. I used to live near the 
beginning and it was uphill until the turnaround, then a nice easy 
"downhill" ride back to the start.

[RBW] Re: Switching hosts for this forum?

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Go ahead and start a new group of your own Eric. Nothing stopping you. I 
for one am perfectly content with this awful Google group, and have been 
for many years.

Not to mention his other shop in Mt Airy, MD. And the barns where he stores 
many more bikes. Check the list here - pretty much up to date although I do 
not see the portobello-colored All Rounder I saw in the shop. Very fair 
prices are subject to a conversation with LB.

[RBW] WTB - Toasted Jack Brown Tire

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Looking to see if a JB tire will fit a couple frames. Don't need to ride 
them, but they should hold air. I say "them" and "they" but one is all I 
need. Anyone have a derelict they can send/sell me? Thanks.

Might want to check out The Old Bike Shop in Alexandria. Used bikes galore

time. I found/bought/traded for a Miayata 1000 there a while back. I think 
they are closed Mon and Tue. I would call to be sure.

[RBW] Re: WTB: Rivendell Readers #00-10

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Not to suggest your definition of "complete" is not accurate Eric, but the 
first few BoB Gazette issues (three I think?) are wonderful too, and led 
directly to the Reader format when Rivendell was formed. I had them for a 
while, and scanned them for the bunch a while back. Long gone I'm afraid. 
Not sure where you would find a printed version now, but you never know. 
The '92 - '94 Bridgestone catalogs Grant did are also great, and very much 
a part of Rivendell history IMHO. You may already have them. Good luck 
completing the collection!

Re: [RBW] 1x Long Chain Stay Need 2 chains?

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

My Clem H is running a 36 up front with a 12/34 out back. Needed extra 
links to work. I too thought I could do it but one chain was not quite 
enough. My stays may be longer than yours though. I also had to swap in a 
longer tray on my fork mount roof rack. Good thing I had a spare from an 
upright mount. Worked out well. Transporting these long bikes can be a 
challenge.

[RBW] Downsizing a Clem

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

This popped up out of nowhere and I thought it was worth a read. I don't 
think I had seen it here, so apologies if it has been posted before. My own 
59 Clem H is nearly complete - will do a dial in ride tomorrow.  Pics to 
follow next week as I'll be out of town for a few days.

Re: [RBW] Re: WTB: Mouseproof handlebar bag

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Irish Spring soap (shaved or grated) seems to deter mice. I had a nest in 
my AC unit beside the house, and one in my snowblower. (And we have cats!) 
A pile of soap shavings took care of them. They recommend the same for pop 
up campers that have lots of fabric to chew on. Maybe a cheescloth bag of 
soap shavings in the bag would work?

I'm the one who gave mine up to the bunch - it rode just a bit too big for 
me (92pbh) and I have a 59 Clem H now that hits the sweet spot better than 
any Riv I've owned. (64 Atlantis, 64 Quickbeam, 60 Bombadil, 63 All 
Rounder) I really wanted to like the monster Roscoe, but until you ride it 
it's never easy to know for sure. I still feel exclusive with the Clem H 
now that step throughs are all the rage, and it might move me in the 
direction on N+Zero. For someone with persistent hip pain, I didn't really 
notice any difference between a step-through and a swing-around top-tuber - 
it's a pain either way. YMMV.

[RBW] In Praise of Park Tools

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

I have one of those workstand seat tube holder things, but the top knob 
broke a while back. It's not something Park has sold for many years, and I 
probably could have come up with a fix, but I took a chance and called to 
see if they had a knob for it. Talked to a real person who pointed me to 
the secret place on the site to find obsolete repair parts, and I was able 
to order a NOS Park-branded knob and the plastic sleeve thing for a few 
bucks. The guy kind of laughed and admitted they had not sold this thing 
for at least fifteen years, but was happy to put this one back in service. 
It showed up in the mail two days later. Shipping cost was less than 4 
bucks.

[image: Park1.jpg]

Love it when a company is willing to take care of you and be pleasant about 
it. The guy on the phone called me by name at least three times. Kudos to 
Park Tools. May they live long and prosper.

Just a probe to see if anyone is ready to move on to another Rivendell or 
could use some funds for another project. PM me if you have one or know of 
one. Thanks.

Re: [RBW] Re: Best hat for sun protection while walking? -- Not too off-topic

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

I have a Tilley, but much prefer my OR Seattle Sombrero - lightweight, 
GoreTex and wide brim that can be Aussiefied on one side or both as needed. 
Great in the rain and snow, which is a good thing given the forecast for 
Thursday here in PA. 

https://www.sunnysports.com/p-orssslrbk/outdoor-research-seattle-sombrero-rain-hat-large-black?gclid=Cj0KCQiA2uH-BRCCARIsAEeef3mXE2Ypr3-JO_lmiizBjpxrcG3w2Qfdhz8ZLx3WuRhT513sst4deLwaAvK-EALw_wcB=aw.ds

The XL fits me better than any hat I've ever owned. I have a black one, but 
am tempted to get one in a lighter color for summer.

Re: [RBW] The “Is It Normal Or Is It Broken” New Bike Game!

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Maybe you have checked, but one thing I've experienced more than once is 
the sound those little "tire feelers" make inside a fender. You know, the 
little stringy things you get on new tires - leftover from the 
manufacturing process? They stick up and stick out and rub on things even 
though the tires have plenty of room. You can trim them off easily. Fenders 
also seem to amplify sounds. I suspect if you ran without fenders some of 
the sounds would disappear. I love a silent  bike s much as anyone, but 
every bike has a voice of it's own . When it makes little sounds, it's just 
singing along for the ride. In your case, it's the sweet song o' the 
Platypus.

 Need some pics of yours John! I presume it's built for 26" wheels. FYI -

[RBW] The Sound of Silence - Just Ride Quietly

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Might be a first for this topic. I was out on my All Rounder this weekend, 
a local rail trail that has sections of pavement here and there. My current 
set up is one speed, using a Paul Melvin matched up to an eight speed 
cogset on an XT cassette hub out back - one of the middle cogs, (not sure 
which) and a single TA zephyr ring up front - a 36 I think. Anyway, one of 
the best things about biking for me, and a goal of mine in general, is to 
ride as quietly as possible. Similar to sculling on flat water, which I 
have done my share of, the feeling of self propulsion in total silence 
intrigues and pleases me. 

On gravel, the Rivendell makes very little sound while pedaling or not, 
just a light crackle/hiss from the tires. (700c Big Ben's in this case) But 
on pavement, damn if all sound doesn't evaporate entirely! I love that! 
Granted, at 64  - and having played drums for many years in my youth - my 
hearing is diminished somewhat to begin with. Regardless, my mission to 
ride silently appears to be achieved. Having said that, there may be room 
to improve. I suppose a fixed gear hub would eliminate any chance of pawl 
noise, and smooth tires may take it down a notch too. I have a White ENO 
flipflop hub laced to a rim that would work, so that may be my next 
experiment. 

Any other ideas for silent running are welcome. 

Marty

[RBW] Finned & filleted lugwork

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Looking at Chris Bishop's latest uploads on his Flickr page, and amazed by 
these custom lugs. Question is has anyone in the CR era done anything like 
this? I don't recall seeing anything similar, and there's probably a good 
reason why not. Labor intensive is an understatement. WOW!

For *you* Joe.  Maybe not for someone else. This is close to something I 
would ride. Personally, I don't live in a 650b world. If someone was 
looking for a cool custom 26"-wheeled Rivendell-badged bike like this, 
where are they going to find one? Like the recent custom Riv sold that was 
not just right for Vaughn, seems to me there is a lot of seller-bashing 
going on here lately. If something pops up FS here that you are not 
interested in, why comment at all? If you are interested, reach out to the 
seller and make an offer for what you think it's worth. Still too much? 
Walk away. 

I thought posting that ad here would help someone find their perfect ride 
as a fair price. Didn't intend to start a thing. For the sake of sellers 
out there, I won't do that again. Let the cricket's chirping send a message 
that the price may be out of line. Other non-bike groups I frequent 
discourage if not ban the whole topic of what things are "worth" for good 
reason. I'm all for that.

[RBW] Re: PSA 58cm Rivendell Custom 26"

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

What are you paying for your $1500 custom Joe? 

I think the asking price is very fair. Seems like a good way to *save* 
$1500 on a classic Rivendell to me. The BG cantis alone ran $300+, not to 
mention the rest of the build. Lower the saddle and bars (looks a little 
goofy that high) and take some nicer photos and I think it would sell.

[RBW] 3-speed cassette?

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Thinking of taking 5 cogs out of an 8 speed cassette and using a pair of 
the gear-clamps Riv sells to end up with a 3-speed. Something like 16-18-20 
or close to that.  The idea is that for rail-trail riding I want minimal 
clutter, but would still use a rear derailer and single shift level. Using 
the gear clamps would help optimize chainline. Anyone try anything like 
that before?

Good eye. Not much horizontal travel on this dropout, and I like to keep it

If I had time enough to allow the panniers to rub the paint off the top 
tube, that would be a badge of honor. I think you just gave me a new goal 
Joe.

[RBW] Re: FS: Rivendell Custom 54.5

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

Really nice bike Kristen, and a very fair price. Love the third pic with 
the headbadge and blue sky. Has me thinking about a repaint on my 
Goodrich-built AR. Good luck with the sale.

Re: [RBW] Re: Which Rivendell frame would you resurrect?

[Marty Gierke, Stewartstown PA]

This bike checks all the boxes for me. Love the fork crown in particular! 
I'm guessing 1983?
