was wondering if a Shower cap would work with a little help from a bungee
cord.

I have a lot of Brooks saddles on a lot of bikes, and I use a couple
different solutions. I got an actual Brooks rain cover when I ordered one
of the nice, super-deluxe, titanium-railed Brooks saddles -- it was packed
in the box, along with a little tin of Proofide. I keep that cover rolled

Dear Mike,
6,000mi is not my typical rim life!
If I don't whack a rear wheel on a rock or pothole or something, it takes
two or three years (20-30,000mi) to wear the front brake track to
half-depth for a bike used on roads (paved or otherwise). Rear rims are
basically along for the ride, and
Most of the time I use a heavy duty shoe cover, made out of some waterproof
fabric. There were loads of them at a place I used to work, but no one ever
actually used them, they were just sitting in a dusty box in the hallway.
Other than that, a plastic grocery bag...

I switched from Tektro long reach dual pivots to Paul's bolt-on center
pulls. The Tektro stock pads were replaced with Kool-Stop salmon pads. I
think the center pulls were more powerful and modulated better. Maybe the
wider 650b x 32 tires have something to do with the difference?
Bump. How about $90 shipped.

I was perusing the bikes for sale at Mt. Airy bikes (DC area) and
unexpectedly came across this:

I've been longing for a Riv but haven't seen one that said, Buy me. This
does. But I have two questions before I give them a call:
1.
Aardvark (I believe that is the brand name, and I believe that is what
Rivendell sold) is what I use. When I transport my bike in the rain I
cover with the seat with the Aardvark, then cover that with a plastic bag,
then duct tape over the plastic bag to prevent the Aardvark from blowing
off.
I might have a Ritchey Road by Nitto, TIG welded, in 80 or 90. I'll have
to look for it. Let me know if this might interest you.

Larry, can you confirm the PBH of 59? 89 would be more appropriate for a
59cm frame.

Hey y'all,
Maybe you can clue me in. But how does a bike maintain such a high value
when it is used and 19 years old?
I'm not saying its not worth it, because I don't really know the value of
these things.
I know its a Waterford Rivendell, so its top quality. But it is used and 19
years old.
Frame was probably $1300 new. Actually, cyclotourist's estimate might not
be totally out-of-line. That was a top-quality frame, and I don't think
there are thousands of A/R's around. They were a small-batch production

Seems to me discussion on this bike has come up a couple of times on the
list. While the bike looks big, am pretty sure it's the 26 wheels
contributing. My Surly LHT has a 58cm frame and 26 wheels and looks

Also will agree with the general price suggestion by Cyclotourist.

Bill, a lot depends on what size tires you are using. I converted my Ram
from Ultegra side pulls to Paul's Racer Ms and was very happy with the

Leaning heavily towards a Quickbeam for my next bike. Pending finding one
in my size that someone wants to sell of course. Trying to figure out:
1. sizing - What size quickbeam for an 80 PBH? I see a few links around
that have PBH and frame sizes but they tend to be bigger frame sizes and
According to my geometry chart (not sure where online I captured it from),
the 54 is the smallest listed, and it has a stand over height of 79.2. So
you should be find with a size 54 cm and then play around with the stem to
get your reach right. Top tube is 56. I am similarly fit to my 66 cm
Thanks! I just found this link which matches your numbers:
http://www.cyclofiend.com/rbw/geometry.html
Still curious about any sort of corresponding or recommended PBH. That
standover seems a little on the tall side, especially if I do trail riding
with it. My Hunqapillar has a standover of 76.5
Hopefully this chart helps.

I am fairly certain that at least one run of quickbeams included a 650B 52cm
frame. If you search you will find photos. I suspect they are rare as hens
teeth though. Probably worth calling RBW to make sure they don't have a
