BobbyB, thank you for the kind words,
I bought my BW mountain troops rucksack in used condition from a Store in 
Finland (Varusteleka.com), a miltary surplus store.
That makes me the happy second owner, next after Heinz,Jürgen, Udo and 
Karl, who at some point probably carried these rucksacks on their backs, (I 
personally prefer to carry them on the bike..), no doubt these bags can 
take a beating !  Once again thanks to Clayton for his very informative 
instruction to convert these !
I believe that Clayton back in the day found some in new condition from 
Cabelas ? 
the front shifter on the downtube... ;
I spend most of my time in the middle ring (36t) of my triple crank with an 
8 speed 11-32t on the back.
it gives a little more space for my handlebar bag (an old Swedish Gasmask 
bag dated 1942)
I had an almost empty bottle of Whisky (Balvenie 21 year old Portwood with 
the most beautiful wooden cork I thought would look nice on the barend)..it 
does !
The only thing is, I still can not afford a Rivendell.
Best regards

 Soren:  Nice build, cool panniers, nice mod... Where did you find the bags 
 to make the panniers?

 I saw the Camargue up close at the Philly Bike Expo... just a 
 solid-looking workhorse-of-a-bike... very impressed.
 Curious why you left the front shifter on the down-tube?

 Great job, BB

 Here is the link to the Shultzi bags. I am still using them on a almost

 the Orlieb lower hook. The best of both systems.

 Have fun!

[RBW] My Winter Projects

2015-03-11 Thread Soren Hansen
Clayton, I really like the camerabag.
I just have to ask, was it you who wrote the wonderful instruction for the 
Schultzi pannier? If yes I want to thank you ! I read the instruction and made 
4 panniers...as a Winther project.
Best regards

 Starting project to build up a new fire trail / off-road bike . I am 
 trying to decide between a new frame and maybe something vintage . I am a 
 shortish woman and I ride a 48 cm to 50 cm frame. Would love to buy a 
 bombadil or Atlantis but what do folks recommend in the the used/vintage 
 category. What would your bike build look like?  

 
Hi Lesli , in our family we have have been very satisfied with old Trek 
Singletracks,please see pictures; the red one is a 16.5 and the black one 
is a 18, both are used for daily use as well as loaded touring on/offroad 
(mostly Swedish and Norwegian gravel roads)

Living in Denmark would make any Rivendell bike extremely expensive, so we 
must try and be creative.
best regards Soren
