[RBW] WTB/WTT 650b rear wheel, 130 spacing

['allenmichael' via RBW Owners Bunch]

Does anyone have a 650b rear wheel, 130 spacing, they would have an 
interest in trading for a similar wheel with a red Chris King hub and a 
Synergy rim? Or selling. 

The Chris King is beautiful, but I spend a lot of time coasting, and the 
sound makes me crazy. I have a Heron road that I love but rarely ride 
because of the noise.

And I'm in southern California if that matters.

I use these (tinted) while running and they look pretty good, don’t slip, and

[RBW] WTB or trade: Nitto F-15 Handlebar Rack

I just ordered one of the blue bar sacks before they were all gone. I sold

Anyone have a lonely rack lying about?

I have some 700c Rich-Built wheels lying about that I could trade. Or pay 
cash.

[RBW] Re: Houseless Sam Hillborne in Portland, Oregon

[allenmichael]

Whatever this may have been, and whatever you may think about it, it was in no 
way theft. Theft always requires an intent to permanently deprive the owner of 
the property. 

Here, the bike was in, some sense, abandoned. A list member secured the bike 
and is making earnest efforts to find the owner. If it was my bike, I might be 
grateful.

[RBW] Re: Single speed handlebar recommendations

[allenmichael]

Tom,
I used my S1 for a few years as a daily commuter in SF and Portland. Your 
use sounds different, but for riding in the city, a pair of Nitto Dove bars 
were excellent. Less width made busier, more crowded streets easy to 
navigate. With no need for bar end shifters, the less expensive Dove bars 
were a good fit.

Thank you for posting this. I have a (sold to me as) 56 that I bought used

And if anyone wants to chime in, are the Huret's worth keeping or should I

The bike was built by Rivendell for a friend of mine (who purchased for his 
father). I'm the second owner. It has not seen much use and is in excellent 
condition. A beauty. And it rides wonderfully.

I'm only selling because of space limitations, and while my Jones bike 
won't work as well for everything the Hillborne does, it will do the same 
things. Plus I need to finish paying for the Jones build.

SKS Fenders
Schwalbe Mondial 700 x 40 (almost new)
Rich Lesnik wheels (LX hubs, Synergy 36h rims)
Sugino Triple
XT rear der.
Albatross bars with Shimano bar end shifters
Brass Bell
Cork Grips
Brooks Saddle
Grip King pedals
two King cages
Nitto stem and seat post

Price does not include shipping from Portland, Oregon. I may be able to 
bring the bike with me on a trip to Southern California and drop off 
somewhere in OR or CA.

[RBW] FS: 58 Simple One, Phil Hubs, Eno Crank and Eno FreeWheel, $1250

[allenmichael]

The Quickbeams and Simple Ones are some of Rivendell's finest bicycles. My wife 
and I have plans to move on to a boat early next year, and I need to begin the 
process of selling large, more difficult to store items such as this bike (and 
a 56 Sam Hillborne that I will post after this bike moves on to a different 
owner). I'm only going to be able to have one full bike, and I want something 
that I can take off road, over rough country, and with a load. So … up for sale.

The purchaser of this bike will likely discover it is their very favorite bike.

This version of the simple one has canti brakes and lots of braze-ons. The rims 
are CR-18's, the hubs are Phil Wood, the crank and freewheel are from White 
Industries. Matching Brooks saddle and Plump Grips.

The bike is in Portland, Oregon. The price is for local pick up. I'm willing to 
take it to a shop for boxing and to ship it on bike flights but at the buyer's 
expense.

Took lots of pictures yesterday:

Jonathan,
If you want to test ride a 56 Hillborne with Albatross bars, that is 
well-racked and shod with new Schwalbe Mondials, I have one downtown that 
you are welcome to ride.

I am also an 85 pbh, and it fits me nicely.

[RBW] Re: Any recommendations for grips on a Bullmoose handlebar?

[allenmichael]

my favorites have been the Brooks plump grips. I liked the wider diameter 
and the feel of the leather. They also look gorgeous with a Brooks Saddle.

the crank to the top of the seat post.

[RBW] FS: 58 Simple One, $1200

[allenmichael]

I just paid $1200 for a Brompton (we are going to experiment with living on 
a boat), and I need to balance the equation. I think $1200 is a 
super-excellent price for this bike.

Phil Wheels with 38 Marathons. The rear flops between a White freewheel and 
a Sugino fixed that I've never used. CR-18 rims.

Brooks B-17 saddle and Brooks plump leather grips.

White Eno crank, anodized a light red.

Nitto Dove bars.

Beausage.

pictures can be seen on the Portland Craigslist ad.
http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bik/5642390736.html

I don't want to ship it, but I'll be traveling south from Portland to Los 
Angeles next weekend and stopping in SF.

I'm negotiable on some of the parts. I could take off the saddle, pedals, 
grips. I could put a different bar on it (I have a few around). I do want 
to sell the frame and wheels though at a minimum. And if the stickers rub 
you the wrong way, I'm glad to get them off.

[RBW] Re: FS: 58 Simple One, $1450

[allenmichael]

Deacon,Thank you. I'm sure that is solid advice. A Hunqapillar is just what I 
was thinking of. I love the Simple One, and it's perfect for getting around 
Portland, which is mainly very flat, but I figure I could do both with the big 
bike. We live in a small condo (very), so there is no room inside. Our building 
has some bike storage, but its crowded and I wouldn't like to hog too much 
space. Trying to find one bike that could do it all. 

It would also make the $2,000 price tag for a Hunq frame easier to justify.

[RBW] FS: 56 Blue Rambouillet f/f/hs/bb (and potential 650b build)

[allenmichael]

You can see my intentions from the photos. I have an orange 58 Rambouillet, 
but I was going to experiment with building up a 56 with a nice pair of 
650b wheels (synergy rims, red SON dynamo front, red Chris King rear, red 
Hetres). I thought the red and blue worked well together.

Alas, I haven't even been riding the 58 much at all. I'm mostly commuting, 
and the Simple One is hard to beat for this purpose.

I'm trying to sell the frame for $700 (plus actual cost if it needs to be 
shipped). Here is a Portland, Oregon Craigslist 
link: http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bik/5269855278.html

These are gorgeous frames, and they ride exceptionally well.

Dreaming—I would love to find someone local who wants the wheelset and the 
frame and even some of the other build parts. If you are interested, please 
let me know.

 So here is my can I convert a 27wheel to 26 wheel? project bike.  The

 and rides just great.  

 Then RBW just had to show me an anthracite Clem Smith Jr.; and so to avoid 
 divorce and partially fund my dream bike, I'm offering the 420 up for sale. 
  I prefer PP. Shipping charges would apply, or I can work something out to 
 deliver from Kansas City to St. Louis.  All of the non-stock components are 
 new, nearly new, or very very good condition. Check out the pics of the 26 
 configuration and original catalog page here:

 http://www.vintage-trek.com/images/trek/85TrekSport.pdf


 I will sell it any one of several ways:
 - *Stock / All Original Components (minus original rack and saddle) *but 
 with new Kenda 1 3/8 knobby tires (I also have the original tires, which 
 were on it when i bought this bike.  they barely show any wear, ie this 
 bike was never ridden much and the condition shows that it was treated very 
 kindly.  The original front wheel could use a truing as it is slightly out 
 of round. *$150 *plus shipping.

 *- 650b converter's delight: *dead stock original PLUS a set of RIV 
 SILVER brakes in excellent condition:  *$250* plus shipping.  (sadly, 
 the silvers don't work for 26 or 27 wheels)

 *- 26 NITTO / BROOKS / Velo Orange Poor Man's Riv *in the 26 
 configuration including new Grip King pedals, Tektro brakes, new Michelin 
 Country Rock 1.75 tires, Brooks B17 aged, Nitto dirt drop stem and Nitto 
 B132 rando bars, Tektro TRP RRL levers, and a new Sunrace thumbie, new 
 Vuelta MUSA 38t chainring and new 6-sp Shimano Mega-range cassette, new 
 chain, and a new Riv gray cable set still in the bag.  Also includes a new 
 rear wheel built: a beautiful Velo Orange high-flange freewheel hub (126mm) 
 laced to a Velocity NoBS rim by Ben's Cycle of Milwaukee.  36h and appears 
 bomb-proof.The only stuff NOT included is the front wheel that I 
 borrowed from another bike and that beautiful grid grey xs saddlebag 
 (although anything is negotiable).  Otherwise as-pictured AND includes all 
 the original parts to return the bike to dead stock condition including the 
 old and new 27 tires.   *$500 *plus shipping.
  
 - somewhere in between.  maybe someone will want the stock bike and 
 someone else will want the other stuff.  maybe you want the awesome rear 
 wheel that was hand-built with love and those Tektros that will let you 
 convert your own 27 whip.  we can talk.

 Feel free to contact me on or off list.  Thanks for watching.

I measured the bike and the seat post is 58 center to center. Is that the 
proper measure? It was advertised to me as a 58 by a man who said that he 
bought it new. I asked Bill last night where he got the only 57 or 59 info

Thank you for the chart. Yes. The bike does measure 59cm from the center of

 Both are in very good condition, nothing like showroom or new, but both

 Rambouillet $850

 I also have enough parts to finish out a build on either frame that I can

[RBW] Re: Quickbeam Sizing

[allenmichael]

I am almost the same exact size, and I fit very well on a 58 Simple One. 
This was the size that the Riv sizing chart recommended, and it worked 
well. I had it set up with a 7 or 8 stem and Dove Bars. The quick beam 
sizing should be the same.

[RBW] Re: Rambouillet conundrum

[allenmichael]

I have the grand bois cyprès 32 on my 58 orange Rambouillet. I've done a 
couple of 200k rides, a few shorter weekend rides, and commuted for a few 
months. So far, no flats. I like the ride a lot. So far, my favorite bike 
I've ever owned, but I'm not a performance cyclist.

Michael Allen

On Friday, April 4, 2014 10:44:27 AM UTC-7, Jeff Ong wrote:

 So, I've got a lot of bikes and zero cars. Only two are conventional 
 road type bikes (a 2004 Merlin Fortius and an '84 Nobillette). Many are 
 mountain bikes, and my daily rider/commuter is a 1995 Voodoo Bizango that 
 I've added rack/fender eyelets to, converted to drops and 2 inch Schwalbe 
 Marathons, and basically made into a sort of Atlantis type ride.

 About a year ago, I bought a secondhand (or third- or fourth-hand, who 
 knows?) Rambouillet (from the first run of framesets, in pearl orange). My 
 idea was to have a sporty road/light tourer with fenders, since I live in 
 Portland, where it drizzles seven months of the year. I built this up with 
 a pretty Riv-like collection of stuff -- a VO triple crankset, platform 
 pedals, some nice wheels and Pasela 28s, Shimano 9-speed bar end shifters, 
 bars a bit above saddle height, etc. It's super pretty, everyone oohs and 
 ahs over it, etc.

 The problem is, I kind of hate riding it. It just steers like a pig, 
 wallowing through turns, and it feels super slow to accelerate. I get 
 terrible pedal strike unless I coast around every turn. I've really tried 
 to get used to the ride, but I always find myself getting angry when I'm 
 out on the bike... like hurry up, man! come on! I'm a decent enough 
 mechanic to know that there isn't anything mechanically wrong. I do think 
 this bike is bigger on me than I generally ride -- I'm 6' tall and this is 
 a 58cm, and generally I ride smaller than that, although it's difficult to 
 compare compact frames against this more traditional geometry. The bike 
 isn't super light (27 lbs or so with fenders and racks), but many of my 
 bikes are around that weight or heavier.

 Am I just not cut out for Riv-type geometry? Is it poorly fit to me? Is 
 there something about the Rambouillet that just makes it slow-steering and 
 ponderous? I would love to swap out this frameset with something livelier 
 and more fun to ride (but that can still take racks and fenders with 28mm 
 tires), and I'm just hoping to not make the same mistake. Any insights 
 would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 After lots of pondering I have decided to offer up my green 2006 58cm
 Ram for sale.

 Need to thin the herd and prep for an unexpected arrival in 6.5 months
 or so. Not a bicycle arrival, either.

 It is a great bike. Nice but not perfect shape. Beausage but not too
 much. No dents. I bought the bike from the first owner - time to move
 it forward with a few upgrades.

 Some original and some new parts. I had just gotten into replacing the
 bar tape and brake levers when I made the decision so decided to leave
 the brake cables  bar wrap for the new owner to complete. I am
 including new brake cables/ black housing and a package of the natural
 cork tape from RBW to complete things. The brake housing run from the rear 
 TT
 stop to the rear brake is fine and recent so I am leaving that as is.

 Here are the build details:

 58 cm Rambouillet:

 Mavic Open Pro / Ultegra hubs
 Grand Bois Cypres 30 tires - recent
 Ultegra headset
 Origin 8 brake levers (Tektro R340) - new
 Tektro R539 brakes - recent
 Shimano 105 triple front Der
 Deore LX rear der
 Sugino triple crankset 48/36/26
 Shimano HG-61 11-34 cassette - recent
 Shimano 9-speed chain - recent
 Shimano 9-speed bar ends - indexes properly if you want to go that way.
 Nitto Noodles 46cm
 Nitto Technomic Deluxe stem  8cm
 Nitto 65 seatpost

 Not including the saddle, pedals/clips, or bottle cages.

  I am including an extra pair of new in package GB Cypres 30 tires. So 4 
 tires total.

[RBW] bike commute meals

[allenmichael]

My go-to is homemade muesli with lots of nuts,unsweetened dry cranberries, dry 
sour cherries, date pieces, and some oats. Each batch is a little different. 
Sometimes a little coconut or something else that looked good in the bulk bins. 
I put it in a container and pour a little maple syrup on it. When I get to 
work, I pour  hot water over the top, let it sit for about five minutes. I find 
it very satisfying.

to loan out their 56/58 Riv for a day? I could reciprocate by loaning out a

I'm nowhere near ready. Another long ride would help.

I'm not sure whether this is a crazy idea, but I thought I would give it a 
try.

 Pretty much everything from the new article makes me want to do this ride.

 http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Wildlife-winners-losers-in-Mt-Diablo-fire-4807527.php

 Going into unknown territory (pun intended) but what I have heard the 
 backside of Diablo is stupid steep and rutty. 

 Theres a reason why the backside of Diablo isn't really well ridden but 
 alas that doesn't matter to me. 
 Looks to be a tough ride with good amount of elevation with no food to 
 buy for lunch time. 
 Which means somewhere in the rumble or maybe the top of somewhere there 
 will be some communal food sharing.

 Again pretty sure this counts as a hard ride. Maybe. I don't know
 Here's the proposed route for those that are interested.
 http://goo.gl/maps/vpqa2

 Proposed time would 830amish. To beat the heat.

[RBW] Re: Morgan Territory to Diablo ride 9/29

[allenmichael]

Manny,
I have plans down in San Luis that weekend, but depending on how my jury 
summons turns out, I may try to go down there early and come back early. I 
would love to do the ride with you. After the Riv-mail this afternoon, I 
ordered some of the knobby tires for the Atlantis. I'll confirm that Friday 
whether I can make it or not.

[RBW] Re: What do Rivendell riders wear for cycling shorts for long rides?

[allenmichael]

My favorites are the Patagonia stand-up shorts with the lightweight Devold 
wool underwear. I've done 90+ miles with a heavy load along the pacific 
coast and never had any trouble. Might not work as well though if it was 
really hot. For me, this is plenty of padding, and it breathes well.

That's riding on a Brooks Flyer with no cutouts.

 I know there is a general anti-padded-shorts vibe that emanates from 
 Walnut Creek.
  
 But I just cannot go more than 20 miles in regular pants without 
 sweat-soaked undergarments just squeaking away against my flesh like a 
 squeegee. Ouch!!
  
 I use LBS padded shorts for long rides but looking for something with a 
 thicker pad and maybe bigger in the back for my upright Alba riding 
 posture, since that puts more sitting area on the rear of the rear, so to 
 speak.
  
 Thanks for any advice.

I would likely vote for a.MSP destination. Some of my forebears left Minnesota 
to come to California. I've always been curious to get out there and look 
around.

[RBW] Re: s240 Mt Tam (Paging Mike Allen)

Sounds great. We could leave SF near Pier 1, meet a few more at the bridge, 
and then a few more in Mill Valley. I'm not sure how many we have confirmed 
so far.
