[RBW] Re: Shifters - UNO shifter

2023-06-07 Thread abraham nussbaum
I'm definitely UNO-curious.

In the meantime, I've been running the Microshift 11 speed for over a year, 
in both friction and index mode. It's awesome. I run a 1 x 11 and it's been 
flawless after you dial in the fit bolt.

 Hi Leah – I realize you said you'd like the bikes up off the floor 
 *but* consider the Peak Racks. This is a bike parking solution that 
 leaves the bikes on the ground. It's easy to adapt and space the bikes as 
 you like to accommodate your fenders and wide bars. Rivendell uses these 
 in 
 the shop. I'd totally be in for these racks if I had room in my shed, but 
 I 
 don't. Also, it's a California-based company and these are MUSA!

 Me and my back do not like hanging, balancing and hooking steel bikes. 
 Especially tricky with fenders. With on the ground storage like this you 
 can just wheel 'em in and out. With a three-car garage there might be a 
 way 
 to make it all fit and leave things neat and tidy. The bikes are important 
 and I'd say they deserve their own dedicated bay :)  Roll that door up and 
 roll the bikes out.

 [image: F4411C72-D9A5-4E1B-BADC-E7EDEF78AC81.jpeg]Hi Friends. I 
 searched some other threads to find this answer but didn’t really find 
 what 
 I was looking for, and, maybe there have been some updated solutions, 
 so, a 
 new thread.

 We have a new home and a 3 car, extra deep garage. The bikes are 
 just parked willy-nilly and I dislike it. It looks messy and they are 
 bound 
 to be knocked over. I have my pair of Rivs, which will soon be a trio, 
 and 
 my boys’ two Clems. My bikes are all fendered. Between the wide bars, 
 heavy 
 frames, and fenders, storage options are few. I’d like to get the bike 
 up 
 off of the floor and found this one option on Amazon (see photo). But 
 I 
 don’t know if the rear fender will scrape the floor as I tip up the 
 bike, 
 OR if I can lift the bikes vertically to hang them. It seems it would 
 be 
 awkward. (Note: I would buy more than one of these because we would 
 require 
 more space between bikes with those Bosco and Billie Bars.)

 What system do you use to park your fendered Rivs?

 Thanks!
 Leah

Thanks, Steve, I appreciate it! 

Steve is correct about the make/model. It's a fancy saddle, sure to turn 
heads. 

Also: I should say that while I do not post on the group often, I am a

occasional poster named Andrew Nussbaum-- who is guilty for getting me to

Thanks for looking, all.

[RBW] FS/T berthoud saddle

2020-09-02 Thread abraham nussbaum
I bought a bike and a saddle off this list last year. The bike is a keeper, 
the saddle is too narrow. 

It's beautiful-- titanium rails, amazing color, still with original 
packaging, never treated/broken in-- but a 5 mile ride made it clear I need 
a wider platform. Unfortunately, while laying around my garage for the past 
year, it earned a scratch in the top. (Pix here 
.)

New retails 

 
for $299, but given the scratch, I am asking $225 w. shipping CONUS.

Also willing to trade for:
-mission workshop transit arkiv
-outershell rack bag
-XS bike/frameset suitable for a teenage girl
-a pair of Paul QR skewers
-something else interesting

Thanks, Abraham

I use a Troutmoose bag. Works great. Owner/maker is a great guy:
