when I began converting my old Raleigh to improve comfort and versatility,
first thing was an Ultra-6 spaced freewheel, then half-steps on the 144bcd
crankset - 46/41 (smallest chainring that fit). It was a very good
compromise with the limited rear spacings, and most of my shifting was on
That is a nice looking LHT. I have a black one with 26 wheels which I enjoy
riding. You gave your brother some good advice. Best wishes on the tour.

I think the angle of the photo may exaggerate the bars a bit. Having the
top above the seat and the drops below the seat is a good compromise, but I
anticipate dialing it in will remove a stack or two and change the angle.
Very nice bike.

I also like it for all the reasons you stated. I have it installed on my
Atlantis. I ride a Surly LHT with a 22/32/44 crankset and find the Sugino a
better match for my riding.
When I was buying parts for my Atlantis, I contacted Riv and they recommended I

Cleaning out some things in advance of a move. Prices include shipping
(except for the bonus items at the bottom), can be less if you combine.

You may not need it often, but when you do, a 24 tooth ring is pretty
handy. With a wide range cassette such as you have, you'll find the middle
ring will get you up lots of hills. But there are times when you have a
load, end of a long hot ride, new area with steep hills, etc., and even the
The images from the ride were great. Beautiful country. Sounds like a

Thanks, Joe ... good to know. This is my first time selling anything
here more accustomed to the standard practice at CL, where standard
procedure seems to often be people saying they want it, then never showing
up. Hard to know who's actually for real until they show up with cash.
Thanks for the responses, everyone. I've got some pretty clear interest for
the tires and 650b wheel, so it looks like those have found a new home; and
I've got some qualified interest in the hub, so that's probably spoken for,
too. Bars, brakes, miscellany, and 26 wheels still around.
Thanks
Yes, CL is quite a different (and annoying) animal. Last week I had a guy
practically beg me to hold on to an RB-2 for a week, so I took the listing
down. The he showed up and seemed bewildered that it was a 20-year-old
bicycle. I don't think he knew what downtube shifters were! I couldn't have

Six weeks after receiving my Hunqapillar from Rivendell I thought about
sending the bike back to them, but decided to try pumping the tires up

What rim are you using? I have been using 29cm Grand Bois and really like
them. But, I have used them on both 19 and 23cm rims and have to admit that
I like them more on the narrower rims. On the other hand, I prefer my
narrower tires on my wider rims at the lower, recommended pressure.
I mounted a Strada clincher tonight, and it came out great.
I dry-mounted the tire without a tube, then came back with tire irons and
pulled off one side, inserted the tube and it worked great.
I think the Stradas may be really stretchy, though. I mounted a Parigi and

Arm-chair randonneur speaking here. I would think a Roadeo would be a nice
option. Fat-ish tires with fenders. Light tubing. It should be great for a

rides longer than that, I would think a dedicated rando-rig would start
