[RBW] Re: Bikes For Sale: Craigslist, ebay, etc. Fall 2022 edition

For sale is my former Roadini. Bought it and it turned out to be too big 
for me, looks like it is being sold by the guy who purchased it from me.

[RBW] Re: F.S. Jeff Lyon 54cm L'avecaise frame and fork

[Nick in Sac]

Hi there,

Awesome frame and fork. The canti cable hanger reminds me of the ones you 
would see on a vintage Ibis Hakkaluggi. I am interested in the Compass 
crankset; what length is it and what chainrings does it have? And lastly, 
what is the price?

 Hi
 Do you think the 59cm frame size is good fit for 89PBH?
 Thanks!

[RBW] $500 commuter bike as a low-budget AHH?

[Nick in Sac]

Awhile back, I worked for a bike shop that had these as rentals. They were 
a nice ride but equipped with pretty low-end components and made with a 
hi-tensile steel frame. At the time, I wasn't aware of Rivendell or Grant 
Petersen's design philosophy. I didn't pay much attention to them.

However, looking at Homers but lacking the budget to build one, my mind 
went back to these:
https://www.brooklynbicycleco.com/collections/bedford-collection

It also appears that Grant designed their bikes in some 
capacity: 
https://www.brooklynbicycleco.com/blogs/journal/five-things-that-matter-on-bike-frame-geometry-with-grant-petersen

Am I cuckoo for thinking that this would be a good option for someone on a 
really tight budget or someone who has a partner or spouse who rides 
occasionally? I just emailed them about tire clearance and am waiting to 
hear back. From what I remember, they came stock with a 32 and had room to 
spare.
