Don't get me wrong, I was not saying that *I *think you need more than a 
40x12.  I was saying that a lot of people will tell you that you do.  I 
think 40x12 is plenty, unless you have to descend at 40mph and insist on 
having gearing that allows you to keep up with that.

My Betty has RBW's recommended 26/40 crankset and I still haven't out
pedaled it, much less pedal it on its highest gears on flat ground. Then
again I'm still 40 lbs overweight although working on it. I think I have a
12/34 in the back, but maybe it's 11/34. I'll check.

Re: [RBW] New Riv custom mixte - what I'm thinking for colour and build

2016-02-26 Thread Ryan Fleming 
well...I'm taking a chance...it's real hard to tell on my monitor ...like 
Maroon, Dark rose and berry red are like a red wine colour, and that's kind 
of what I'm hoping for. It would be nice to see a Du-pont Imron colour book 
in the flesh. I know Grant has also suggested using Crayola crayons colour 
labels as a good thing to describe colour

Something like Homer's wine-dark sea...Patrick Moore will lke that I bet:) 

Tim, don't get me wrong, I think your Riv is a lovely colour

[RBW] New Riv custom mixte - what I'm thinking for colour and build

2016-02-26 Thread Ryan Fleming 
I floated this with Rivendell this morning:

*Color*

 

Looking at Joe Bell’s IMRON PDF here:

http://www.campyonly.com/images/joebell/imron.pdf 

 

I’m leaning heavily towards Berry Red Metallic (44464)

 

*Parts*

 

Chris King headset

Phil Wood Bottom Bracket

Nitto Choco-norm bars with Tallux stem (flipped down like the SH Choco 
build shows)…I’d better measure my current Nitto stems (have a Pearl, 
Tech-deluxe and a lugged and I do like stem and saddle roughly level)

Brakes..Paul Racer Centerpull and I like the look of those Tektro 
“mountain” levers

Brooks B-17 Select w Nitto S-83 seatpost

Wheels (Rich Lesnik build – 650B whatever Velocity Rim he likes White 
industries M-15 hubs 36H rear 32 H front, tires …those 650B Paselas with 
the folding bead would be awesome if you still have them

Drivetrain:

Sugino compact double (can I do a 36 X 40 front?). Realistically, I don’t 
live in the hills so I feel I don’t need a triple…My A/R is triple

Your 9-speed IRD  cassette

Ultegra barend shifters 

Deore XT front and rear derailleurs…I guess I need the GS medium cage

Pedals…the $40 MKS touring cylocross pedals  ; I like MKS pedals…I have a 
pair of fancies, but I like the inexpensive ones

 

Accessories

Cream SKS longboard fenders

2 King Iris cages
