Re: [RBW] Re: How to crash by yourself

[Tony DeFilippo]

Great news about the return of your bike and your continued healing!  It'll be 
neat to have two identical frames setup differently, you'll have to do a twins 
photoshoot once the porteur is up and running.

Fantastic news! Make sure to keep up with the PT exercises for the neck, you 
want to make sure no chronic complaint sets in. 

Someone or something was looking out for you that day - barbed wire and 
brambles are not things to mess with.

Oh man...that's great that you got your bike back.Thank goodness there are 
still a lot of good hearts in the world. I hoped someone would do this for 
you. I'm also glad you are healing well!

I thought Toussaint was US?

Anyway it is good to see the story had a happy ending...

[RBW] Re: How to crash by yourself

[stonehog]

I am healing up nicely - no scars from the brambles.  The neck is still 
sore and crackly, but i have most of my range of motion back.  Still doing 
the daily PT stretches - probably for a few more weeks.  


On the bike front, things are great!  I went and picked it up yesterday, in 
fact.  On Saturday, I received a call by a woman saying "I have your bike". 
 I took down her number and address and went up yesterday to get it.  I 
talked with her brother, who had evidently "found it laying on the side of 
the road".  He said that he thought someone had stolen it and ditched it. 
 When he got home, he noticed some blood on the helmet and bike, and said 
he called the hospital to see if anyone had come in from a bike crash.  No 
reports, so he put it in the back shed.  This last weekend, my "drew's 
list" ad in the lost and found paid off, as his sister noticed it there and 
asked her brother about that white bike he had found.  They had the helmet, 
too - good as I wanted to see what it looked like, and it looks like it 
took a good bit of impact from what I'm betting was barbed wire fence, or a 
viciously strong blackberry branch.  The bike also still had my water 
bottle on it:)

The bike is in good shape - a bit rusty from being outside (chain and 
bolts, only), and it looks like he tried to take the valve stem off the 
back, but it's a tubeless setup, and he couldn't get the lock ring off the 
stem (scarred up the stem with a pliers a bit).  I have a feeling that if 
he would have been able to pump up the back wheel, I may not have gotten 
the bike back.  Tubeless saves the day??

I'm really happy to get the bike back, as it has some nice parts on it (Son 
Deluxe, Berthoud fenders, Nitto bars, stem, seatpost, Selle Anatomica 
saddle, my beloved Suntour XC Pro FD and XT RD, and of course the amazing 
Rene Herse crankset).  The added bonus is I had purchased a replacement 
Toussaint in the new rev from the boys in Canada for a reduced price!  I 
just told them about the return of the original, but they said they are 
happy I'm ok with 2 frames (I am!), so it's still on the way.  I may make 
that into the town porter/commuter, a la Bill's Rosco - it's about the same 
color, and I have plenty of parts in the bin.  Always wanted a low-trail 
porteur town bike.  Now i just need a 650B wheelset.

[RBW] Re: How to crash by yourself

[Ron Mc]

Hi Ian, 
Those are Stampede Pass, 32mm, and nothing larger will fit - have a few mm 
clearance on the chainstays.  As parts came off the old frame I cleaned 
them, and before they went on the new frame I polished them.  
My Honjos were destroyed with the old frame - I saved all the good hardware 
for later.  I already had two sets of shorty fenders around.  These 
stainless which will fit 35mm or bigger, and some really pretty Bluemels 
alloy with blue foil decal that only fit 28mm.  
What they do is keep the  CP brakes clean, which have a lot of places for 
dirt.  


Just finished up over the weekend, and made short adjustment rides around 
the neighborhood yesterday.  
Made my ride maiden today - both for my busted bones and my new 
International. I rode 25 greenway miles. Rode my normal pace the whole way, 
just a bit shorter distance than I usually ride. 
My ribs did hurt when I was pedaling, and my shoulders when I got off. 
But it's good for me...

Something else I used on this bike - King Cages with their stud-welded hose 
clamps


  

I had strips of Brooks bar leather left over from two bar wraps (6 years 
apart) - used them underneath the umbrella clip to secure the frame fit 
pump (this worked for 6000 mi on the other frame) and underneath the King 
Cage hose clamps.

Very nice indeed.  What width of tire are those and how is clearance? 
 Interesting choice to put on the racing mudguards of the era,  Were those 
a legal requirement in 60;s and 70's UK?  They don't appear to offer a
