[RBW] Re: Drops vs albatross. Easy to swap or do I need two bikes?

[Miles Payton]

This is my shameless plug for Albacore bars, if you need something wider 
than the Albastache which I found to be quite narrow, or if you want to use 
22.2mm clamp brake levers/shifters. I mocked them up on my Atlantis and 
they were a delight. I just prefer drops.
They're a limited run for Hope Cyclery but you can buy mine!

[RBW] Re: Rapid rise derailleur suggestion

[Miles Payton]

I got a used XTR M951 long cage derailleur for a song on ebay a few months 
ago. Maybe there's not much demand? The seller gave me a half off offer so 
I couldn't refuse. Anyway it works great and it appears they're usually 
$50-80 depending on the condition. Not bad for what was once a 
top-of-the-line derailleur. I'd just avoid the NOS stuff because that's 
where you start spending $200 or more. 
I've been plenty happy with mine. It's paired to Gevenalle 10 speed 
shifters on my Atlantis. I can't speak to replacement parts but it wouldn't 
be expensive to replace, and my old M900 hasn't needed more than a rebuild 
in 20 years. They're pretty well-made.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell Atlantis special disc edition

[Miles Payton]

Patrick, tires are Soma Cazadero 700x50mm. They’re an underrated gravel
tire I think. Fast, very light, supple, perform pretty well in a variety of
conditions and terrains, dry and wet.

Re: [RBW] Re: Rivendell Atlantis special disc edition

[Miles Payton]

You’d have to ask the previous owner who commissioned this custom fork. But
I would have done it the same way. I appreciate the versatility in having
the option to go full canti or v brake somewhere down the line. And this
way it’s symmetrical.

[RBW] Re: Charlie H Gallop?

[Miles T]

Looks like a comfy ride! I remember reading a tidbit on how riv lengthens 
their head tubes on stepthrus so the joints of the down tube and top tube 
aren’t so congested. That bike illustrates the congestion point! Not sure 
if it’s solely for aesthetics or if there’s more to it…

[RBW] Re: Rivendell paint color repetition: Your thoughts

[Miles T]

I’m a sucker for metallic colors… it’s like you get 2 for 1. A metallic 
colored bike looks totally different in overcast weather vs a sunny day. 
But the solid colors are great too. That dark green on the Clem “H” models 
a while back is one of my favorite colors on any riv. At this point, they 
have a wide selection of colors and I like seeing them pop up on different 
models over time.

I love that scheme on your custom, Joe. Especially that cream outline on 
the red accents.

[RBW] Re: A love letter to stainless steel water bottles

[Miles]

+1 for Bivo, I'm really enjoying mine. However, I did get the raw stainless 
and ejected one out of a Ti King Cage on a gravel descent. If you're riding 
rough stuff the silicon coated might be a better option, though I've never 
felt on in-hand.

Re: [RBW] Re: Velotaxonomy: What are we, anyway?

[Miles]

Leah! Others have expressed good suggestions to your question but I wanted 
to add my two cents, and mainly some encouragement!
First, I have no doubt you will eventually find some people you like riding 
with. Might be a little tougher out there in Michigan (former Michigander 
here) than it is on the California coast, but as others have stated, you’re 
in a prime position to be an ambassador for the type of riding you’re 
trying to do. I’m fortunate that many of my riding friends here are open to 
all sorts of excursions: road, fixed gear, mountain bike, you name it. Yet 
with the exception of Jared and Ariel, (hi guys) I’m the only one riding a 
Riv in some of these situations. Fun people will love your bikes and be 
impressed that they’re your tool of choice. People who scoff aren’t really 
people I want to befriend anyway. 
My initial concern was that you’d accidentally join a group that doesn’t 
match your level of fitness. As others have observed, you’ll easily be able 
to keep up with any casual/spirited ride. Knowing your average mph from 
your rides is a helpful way to narrow down what existing group ride could 
work for you.
But! My experience has shown me that if you plan a ride that has some kind 
of peripheral non-riding activity involved (riding to food/beer is always 
easy) you’ll draw some of the ‘quirky’ cyclists out of the woodwork. 
Getting creative is the key: riding to an estuary for bird watching, riding 
to a park with snacks for a picnic, planning a full moon ride to check out 
an interesting old structure, who knows? When I make my riding fun-centric, 
people seem to appreciate that. The focus becomes the people you’re with 
and the experiences you share. When I ride in groups that’s my priority; 
that everyone is having a good time. To that end, I usually outline terrain 
and general pace when announcing the ride, so people know what to expect 
and feel comfortable. 

Reading your posts and seeing your bikes, I have no doubt the people who 
will have the privilege of riding with your will want to continue to do so. 
I’m looking forward to seeing how it goes!

[RBW] Re: FT/FS: 61cm Rivendell Hunqapillar Frameset

Oh n! Sad to see this one go, but you gotta listen to your heart. 

For anyone potentially considering, this frame is in great shape and Jared 
is a stand up guy. Buy with confidence. 

- Miles, who bought Jared’s previous Susie and is thus partially 
responsible for this predicament.

[RBW] Re: Brevets on Rivs -- 2021 Dillon Beach 200k

[Miles]

Nice write up Bill,

Adam, like you, I find I also need a bit more fuel than what Bill was 
carrying. For me, electrolytes are crucial, I seem to get cramps pretty 
easily. I’ve been a big fan of Nuun hydration tabs. 

Food-wise, Clif or Ivan bars are always good, but sometimes I also like to 
bring a pb sandwich, or some other “real” food. I’m guilty of going full 
gas-station nutrition and eating beef sticks and peanut m’s, probably to 
my detriment. I think my ideal century has a proper lunch stop about 
halfway through. Maybe a good burrito or a sandwich, and a stretching 
session before getting back on the road.

Re: [RBW] Re: 58cm Quickbeam build

[Miles]

Hey Nathan!

With some luck and the help of another board member, I might have my eyes 
on a 58, but I'll definitely keep you in mind!

I can verify what Andrew and others already know; that these bikes feel 
great to ride. I've always wanted a Panasonic or other Japanese-made steel 
track frame, and to have one with provisions for racks and wider tires only 
sweetens the deal.

Re: [RBW] Re: 58cm Quickbeam build

[Miles]

Out of curiosity, what’s your PBH and saddle height? I’m at around 87 but 
run my saddle around 76, and am wondering if I could fit a 60cm QB with the 
tire size maxed out.

I do believe so. They were hooked up to a Shimano Deore RD-T610 which seems to 
be Dynasys based on my google search. It was from a surly cross check stock 
build.

Any interest in the Riv world?  They have maybe 2 rides on them so they are

Shoe covers are like new as well.

[RBW] Orange 56 Sam

[Miles]

Contemplating selling my nearly new Sam. Pretty standard Riv drop bar build. 
Literally about 100 miles on it. I just think I want a bike more trail worthy 
than the Sam. 

I'm posting to see interest so let me know if it's in your ballpark and I'll 
send pics. 

Looking for $2k

[RBW] FS 56 Sam Hillborne

Contemplating selling my Sam as I feel I may need a more trail worthy 
steed.  Basically a standard drop bar Riv build.  I am looking to see if 
there is interest.  Really only have around 100 miles on the bike and I 
feel it may not be for me. Orange, Taiwanese build, single TT, side pull 
brake.   Looking for $2000 as it is near new.. I will send specs and photos 
if interested.
