Re: [RBW] Re: Thoughts on Rivendell cork grips

[Ryan M.]

I had some cork grips on a set of alba bars years ago but never liked them. 
I found them too...delicate, I guess, and didn't really prefer the feel. 

Now I'm using lock on grips in various colors and sizes from different 
companies that I have accumulated over the years. My favorite are some Sram 
grips that are larger in diameter than others and very comfy. Plus, it's 
easy enough to change them out when I feel like it.

[RBW] Re: Back on a Bleriot

[Colin Cummings]

Phillip, what width dirt drop do you prefer? What I remember loving about 
the Midge was the ability to drop a little bit versus a lot on a Noodle or 
similar. (I started with Noodles on my first Bleriot in 2008)

[RBW] Re: Back on a Bleriot

[Jason Fuller]

I am loving the wider Nitto Noodle model drop bars (actually I'm on a 
Simworks 50cm variant but same profile) for a fast-yet-capable build. The 
extra control is super nice, yet I can still tuck and hammer along 
pretending I'm on a carbon road bike if I want.  Add to that a lightweight 
wheelset with Rene Herse or similar tires and a modern drivetrain (sorry 
Grant but you are honestly missing out here) and sounds like a dream bike 
to me.  I'd love to own a Bleriot.

[RBW] Re: Back on a Bleriot

[Colin Cummings]

Actually swapping over the cockpit isn't a bad idea, although I don't HATE 
it on the specialized, it let's me ride pretty upright and it's comfy on 
the big fat Big Ben tires. I guess I'm wanting the Bleriot to be a bit 
"faster" with less-wide tires and multiple riding position options. But 
since it's been over a year since I had my last Bleriot, I'm sure some 
experimentation and reacquainting is in order. May as well start with what 
I'm used to and go from there.

[RBW] WTB: Silver brake calipers, Albatross bars, cranks?

[Jingy]

Hello,
I'm looking for some parts for a new build.
Does anyone have a  spare set of Silver brake calipers-allen,  or Albatross 
alloy bars?
Going out on a limb, how about a compact vintagey looking double 175mm 
crankset (Velo Orange?)
How about a 175mm single crankset?
700c rear fixey wheel, silver box section rim

Twin cities/midwest area would be ideal

Thanks,
Jim

[RBW] OT/WTT: winemaker/cyclist clearing out high end bottles

[Brendan Willard in SF]

This is for Bay area members. Please feel free to delete if this is not allowed.

My buddy and I are clearing out his wine fridge and storage for a move. We’re 
both bay area winemakers and would love to pass along the huge number of extra 
high end bottles we have. Bottom line is we don’t know what to do with all of 
it and we’re never going to drink it all. All in all it’s probably four or five 
cases of wine totaling a couple thousand dollars. If someone has anything they 
would like to trade or just wants to come grab some bottles, we will be around 
this evening and tomorrow in the East Bay.

Things I’m looking for: 27 mm seat post for an older Ritchey. 22.0 stem for an 
older Motobecane. Wide nitto noodle or the like.  Non-aero drop levers. 650b 
front wheel. Bags. All part considered. Donate to a local charity. 24 packs of 
local beers.

[RBW] WTB: 51cm Allapoosa, Frame only preferred, will consider a full bike..... also Brooks B 17, brown preferred

[Joel Stern]

Color I am flexible on but I have never owned an orange bike so that would 
be nice. 

I am also wanting to try a B 17 again as my B68 sometimes feels a bit wide 
in certain areas. I prefer a brown, the dark brown if possible but let me 
know what you have. 

Thanks

Joel

[RBW] FS: Pile o' shifters and parts, Silver Shimano Suntour Campy

[Joe Bernard]

I got stuff! 

There's a fully assembled new Silver2 bar-end marked L, works front or rear, 
left or right. 

Silver1, kinda bent, new black cap, on bar-end marked R, works either way.

Left friction Shimano bar-end, also good on the right as a rear friction 
shifter.  

Various other downtubers in various states of "parts all there", you should be 
able to cobble together whatever you need. Shimano 8-speed, old Dura-Ace, a 
Suntour Superbe Pro rear, old friction Campy. 

Black downtube cable stops a list member sent me free then I didn't need 'em. 
Comes in the box or I'll send those to someone separately, also free. 

The whole schlamozzle $60 shipped (with or without cable stops, I'm not pricing 
them). Hit me up for shifty bits!
