[RBW] Re: WTB/ISO Paul Thumbie adapter for Silver shifters

[Wally Estrella]

Yeah, I get that on the regular off the shelf hardware.  It was for the 
adapter.

 works. I've got a couple sets of Thumbies on the shelf that I could

 just as well as the adapters.

It's on my calendar, so that means I'm hoping to go.  I'm riding the 
Appalachian Gravel Grinder the week before, so I have to juggle some PTO 
and cat-sitter stuff.  My wife has some family in Philly so that's a plus 
on me getting down there.  It'll probably be an Oct 28th decision...

Re: [RBW] Re: long wheelbase, Hillibikes + tray racks

[Wally Estrella]

I confirmed yesterday that a GBW will fit just fine in a 1-Up rack.  The 
wheelbase is about 53 inches on Gus.  The length of the rail on 1-Up is 54" 
which is what 1-Up states as max wheelbase.  The Equip-D says it can take a 
56" wheelbase.

[RBW] Re: front carrying options for 2022

[Wally Estrella]

there was some redesign on the stay clamps or something like that.  IIRC 
Surly offered replacements up for free.  Most likely any one purchased 
today would have the new design, if not Surly should still be offering the 
replacement items.

I've had 25# box of kitty litter on the rear.  Luckily it's only a mile 
home.

I'm currently running Nitto Dirt Drops RM-013, 52 w/ either a small or 
medium BXB Goldback.  With plenty of clearance for my big mitts between the 
side pockets and brake levers.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hillibikes are so close!

Lovely build!  is that an 11 speed cassette?  I'm going 1x11 with Shimano 
(11-51) cassette and RD.


GREAT NEWS! My Gus arrived yesterday (6-1).
VERY GOOD news! He's getting framesaved before this week-end.
Good news! I'm finally going on that bikepacking trip in Cape Cod that's 
been in the planning for a couple of months now.
News! That trip is this week-end
Bad news! No build up of Gus until Monday after work!

[RBW] Re: Memorial Day Bike Ride in Boston

[Wally Estrella]

NICE! A few weeks ago I had a gang of 11 take the Reformatory Trail from 
Concord onto the Minute Man and into Boston.  The back out to Lexington 
then left over to Battle Road.  It's always a fun day! We'll try to go down 
once to twice a year.  Enjoy the ride!

When traveling back through Arlington a rider on a  Clem caught up with 
me.  We talked Riv stuff for a mile or so before he split off.  It was his 
first Riv and he LOVED it!

Re: [RBW] Hillibikes are so close!

Vanilla order of just frame/fork, ship it out.
Add in a couple of days to frame save it, flip it, flop it, glop it up!  
 Here's hoping I get it by next Tuesday/Wednesday.  It'll leave me a couple 
of days to do that before I head out.  Then it'll be ready when I get back 
:)

*"The Gus forks are no longer the complicated crowns of the original run"*
OH NO! The OG fork look was one of my favorite parts of the design!  
Well, I'll just have to be happy w/ what's available and JUST RIDE!
Can't wait to get Gus in hand and build it up.

What about rim/tires?
For rims it'll be Velocity Cliffhangers.  For rubber it's either Schwalbe

*Is anyone planning to tour with theirs?*
Yep, my Gus will be a commuter/grocery-getter/bikepacker ride -the guS-UV.  
 I'm planning on Tumbleweed racks for it. The TW racks are designed around 
modern wider hubs/frames, but I think it'll squeeze in OK to mount on a 
Gus.  I've seen a pic of a T-tack on a Gus, just need to find it again.

 I had a thread about handlebar choice a few months ago, then Rivendell

 perfect for my slightly too big XL Susie! I am going to wait until I have 
 the bike in front of me to try all the options and see which one wins.
 I am excited to see everyone else's builds, Some nice sounding parts 
 lists going on here.
 Was hoping for an update in today's email too and was a little 
 disappointed.

[RBW] Re: frame timeline?

[Wally Estrella]

Update - Hillibikes and Atlantis framesWe found out the Hillibike boat 
won't reach Oakland until the 28th, so we'll only be able to start shipping 
frames and building bikes in early May. It usually takes about a week and a 
half from the time the boat arrives to when the container arrives here. 
Everybody who has a frame on order has been so patient and understanding, 
so thank you for that. We're in the final stretch of the wait now.

[RBW] Re: A Pumpkin Platypus, Perchance?

[Wally Estrella]

Wow! Such a great looking bicycle!  Love, love, love the color! I have an 
orange Quickbeam.  I've been meaning to get it repainted, and was 
considering a green, BUT everything I see another orange Riv, I say "NOPE! 
ORANGE IT'LL REMAIN!"

Continue to JUST RIDE!

[RBW] GBW specs?

[Wally Estrella]

This info was listed on the Riv Susie page:

"These numbers are important:

seat post: 26.8mm

FD clamp: 28.6mm 

Standard 1" threaded headset (included)

73mm bottom bracket shell"


Aside from headset difference of 1-1/8" on GBW is everything else the same?


TIA!

[RBW] Re: Mermaid Builds

[Wally Estrella]

Roberta, 
What a lovely bicycle for sure! I'm glad I went with the mermaid over the 
orange for my Gus.  Besides I'd get questioned with "You have an orange 
bike already (the Quickbeam)!"

Re: [RBW] Re: Mermaid Builds

[Wally Estrella]

OOOH! I like this very much, Eric.  I had been leaning towards a mix of 
green parts.  So, similar too, but different than Leah's Platy II.  Due to 
availability though I've found I'm getting more silver and/or polished 
parts than I hoped.   At minimum I'll have green Paul Love Levers :)

Re: [RBW] Re: Gus or Susie, am I crazy?

[Wally Estrella]

Thank you!  Well, I was in on the original run, but lockdowns were 
happening around then.  My work situation was unknown at the time (as was 
most things then).  So, I bailed on getting one.  Not this time though :)
I'll (seemingly) always say "I don't like that Riv color selection!"  then 
see it in person then say "WOW! That's sharp!".   I'm looking forward to 
finally getting a mermaid Gus.  Almost went w/ the orange, but I have an 
orange Quickbeam.  

Good luck w/ the Susie/Wolbis!

Re: [RBW] Re: Gus or Susie, am I crazy?

[Wally Estrella]

Congrats!  I popped for a XL Gus in 'friction shift'n sardine'.  I went 
through my LBS for the frame purchase.  Put the burden on them to get it as 
I figured I could have possibly become distracted during work and missed 
out.  The sales seemed to go fast!  

Now, I'm off to find the rest of my parts.

 If you are in the Susie category, that LimeOlive is deceptively slick! 
 It tips the scale on handsome when paired with black & grey. But, if you 
 want to add color with anodized bits, and housing, the choices are varied… 
 blue, purple, raspberry, or even green would top my list. 

 The DarkGold is beautiful, but many of the off-the-shelf component 
 colors, to my eyes, would be too strong for it. It begs to be adorned with 
 grey and silver, which is its own type of perfection. Of course, someone 
 will post examples to prove me wrong, but that is how I differentiate the 
 two colors.

[RBW] tell me how a loaded Gus/Susie handles

[Wally Estrella]

and how the handling is when loaded in different manners:
front: low w/ panniers and/or high w/ a bar bag or basket
frame bag?
rear: big saddle bag and/or an over the center of the rear wheel rack load
with panniers on the rear?

My intended build would be w/ Tumbleweed racks (already have them).  I'd 
mount manything cages onto those when needed.  a handlebar bag and 
saddlebag (probably use the BXB bags I have already).
And if the real estate allows I'd put Wald basket on the rear rack w/ a bag 
in that.

thanks!

[RBW] Re: Minimotos on a Quickbeam?

GREAT! Thanks, folks!

I did an order on this before asking the questions.  Sounds like a good buy 
to me :)  Now, the wait.  The QB is probably shelved for the Maine 
winter anyhow.  I might be able to get a few more rides in.

[RBW] Minimotos on a Quickbeam?

[Wally Estrella]

I've ridden my Quickbeam for about 2 gazillion miles.  Give or take a 
gazillion.  The Neo-retros have been good at stopping this Orc sized 
rider.  I'm guessing the MiniMotos will be even better.   

Any others try Minimotos on their QB? Good for stopping? And I'm guessing 
no issues for tire clearance (currently has Shikoro 42s on it).

Also, did you run the rear cable into the center holder then out to the 
noodle or just from the directly into the noodle from around the seatpost?

Thanks,
Wally in Maine

[RBW] My bailer's remorse meet your buyer's remorse? Gus Boot Willsen

[Wally Estrella]

Hi Folks:

Short version:  I was in on GBW pre-sale then this covid-19 lockdown and 
uncertainly (job-wise) left me twisted.  I had to bail on my GBW slot on an 
XL green Gus.  Now, I'm feeling OK w/ $ to be spent on a GBW, 
but...SOLD OUT!

If you have dibs on an XL Gus (preferably green, but I'd consider a blue) 
and have buyer's remorse on it.let's talk.  Shoot me an email directly.
I'd even possibly be happy to offer a Off Course Of Remorse Of Course 
reward.

If not, Will says RBW has plans for a 2021 make of GBW.  

Stay well! Stay riding!

CHEERS!
Wally "No Gus, No Fuss" in Maine

[RBW] Re: Help Pimp My Quickbeam

[Wally Estrella]

Yes, it holds the Sackville. It fits just the same, just not covered higher 
on the sides as the full 137 basket.  Hobbit sized at 68.5.  I have used 
brass clasps to hold it in place on the 137.  Never any issues w/ it, if 
clasped down.  With the racing basket, even with clasping it down, it will 
bounce around some and reposition.  Not falling out of the basket walls 
though.  Not a show stopper, but I've since been using either the Cap'n 
Hook net or a John's Irish Strap over the top of it.

[RBW] WTB/ISO Riv Sackville Stickpack

[Wally Estrella]

Hi Folks:

Any nice condition Rivy stickpack/backpack not being used?  I'm looking for 
one.  If it's an olive color you'd get double bonus points (probably a few 
patches) plus an option from below to pick from.

Other colors accepted too though.  You'd only get a bonus option from the 
below:
Trade for cash (PayPal or Venmo works for me).  I have Tumbleweed T-rack or 
mini-pannier rack for trade (one is slightly used, the other new/unused).  
Or, or, how about a new/unused Ocean Air (Nitto version) Erlen saddle bag 
support for trade consideration?
Again, $ works as the first option.

Stay well! Stay the distance!

Email me, pleases and thank yous!

Re: [RBW] Patch makers

[Wally Estrella]

I've used Walter and a couple others for my patches.  Walter is by far the 
best!  He's a great person and he's into bikes also.

Rod,
 
NICE!  I stopped into Old Spokes Home this past Saturday.  No Island Line 
trail for me this year.  I was out riding the Quickbeam just a bit north 
and east of that on the Missisquoi Valley trail and around Franklin.  I 
hope to get back next year.

[RBW] Re: Rivendell Nitto Basket Rack

[Wally Estrella]

Leah,

I thought the same.  It's just a much nicer looking 24 pack rack and the 
price to reflect that difference.  I'll stick w/ my Surly 8 Pack rack and 
the TV Tray for those wide loads.

D'oh! Silly Wally!  $7 each on the patch.  I'm getting 3 :)
Get yourself at least one.  Then another one to share.  And another one 
just in case you lose the first one.

I'm in for a Hillibike in a Gus flavoring.  YES on the hopes of dropbars on 
it.  Either 48 Noodles or the 52 Dirt Drop bar.  What's the ETT on Gus?

[RBW] Re: FS: 64 cm Atlantis (Toyo)

[Wally Estrella]

Tim, How was your stand-over on my 64 QB?  If it seemed fine, I'm sure a 64 
Atlantis would be nice for you.  Just not tire size too though.  The 
Quickbeam at the time probably had 33.33 Jack Brown's on it.

[RBW] Re: PSA Quickbeam on Craigslist in Bar Harbor, ME

[Wally Estrella]

I wonder if this was the one at the Great Maine Bike Swap.  I deleted the 
photos I had so nothing to compare it against.   It's the same size as the 
one @ the swap.

You know you want it, Chris! ;)

"...too far away for me to help with a sale..."  I'm not as far away as 
Chris to this (10' closer), BUT I might be able to help get this and get it 
to a new home if there's any interest from this board.  I'll be in 
Thomaston, ME this Saturday, May 18th.  Thomaston to Bar Harbor is about 
1.5 hours.  If you could convince the seller to deliver it to me in 
Thomaston, I'd bring it south to Saco.  Then get it packaged up for you.  
HIt me offline via email to discuss details.

CHEERS!

Patrick,

Since you are leaning towards the Schwalbe side of things also consider the 
Hans Dampf.  It's now available in 27.5 x 2.35 / 2.6 / 2.8.  A PhD in 
Rubberology is required though to fully understand all the compounds 
Schwalbe uses.  OOOPS! I just re-read your post.  NNs on the way.  OK, 
perhaps consider the HD for next time ;)

Re: [RBW] Re: Mystery bike in April Blahg

[Wally Estrella]

Adding a dynohub just makes it extremely more useful.  I was indecisive for 
years on getting a dynohub set-up.  I've literally lost as many lights on 
the trail and to aged batteries than I have into a laced up dynohub.  
 After the first night ride out I was so glad for the purchase.  No worries 
to ensure lights get charged, lights then get put on to the bike or in 
bag.  Also, I'm often out for hours on the trail (or road) in the dark.  
Having something that burns out after 1.5-2 hours versus something that 
just keeping burning the light wins it for me.

It seems you are as excited for this new anniversary bike as I am for a GBW 
production to be announced!

[RBW] Re: bike swap find

[Wally Estrella]

If a volunteer snapped it up on Friday night it still should be on the sold 
list.  It was listed @ 56 and asking $1055.  Hopefully the seller will 
throw it on CL or eBay.  Or it'll find its way to this group and be posted 
for sale.

[RBW] Re: Recommendations for satellite mapping thing

[Wally Estrella]

Just make sure your smart phone has a GPS chip and you should be OK.  I use 
Ride w/ GPS for my route creation.  I had downloaded my route for a bike 
trip last summer.  This for an area known for having no cell coverage to 
being very spotty at best in some areas.  My phone had lost it's routing 
after about 40 miles into a 60 mile ride out.  It had worked great, in 
airplane mode, up to that time. We made it out and back fine, but could see 
getting into trouble easily in some areas.

Bill,

I made up a bracket to hold my Sinewave Beacon.  I'm pretty sure I have an 
extra or two -need to dig it out from the box it's in. That box is in 
another box, in a bin, in a closet.  Now, which closet?

Hey Folks:

OK, there seems to be enough interest for a two'fer on the east coast.  A

[RBW] RBW 25 -Atlantic side of things

[Wally Estrella]

Hey Folks:  

 

Opening a new post on the RBW 25 'tis a gathering.  I'd love to attend the 
west coast 'moot, but it's too far for this prancing pony.  How about a 
northeast/east coast 'moot-up?

 

I posted it on Instagram as well @wickedwoolly.  I think there are some 
folks on here and over there, but not all are in both spots, thus this post 
to reach out to get all Hobbits notified.

 

Hit me up offline w/ your name/email/location, subject the email ‘Rivmoot 
25’.  The initial thinking is a spring/summer ‘moot somewhere in 
Massland.  May also create a poll to gather a general consensus on 
date/location.   Make it a day event? Make it an S24O with some rides? Tear 
Isengard down? What to do? What to do?

 

In other east coast related news.  Punxsutawney Philbo Paggins has emerged 
from his hole in the ground...it'll be an early spring with many more 
years of riding on leather and RBW.
