I think the Singer is the faster bike. Might be the wheels/tires, but there is something faster about it. --Eric N campyonly...@me.com www.CampyOnly.com Campyonlyguy.blogspot.com @Campyonlyguy > On Oct 10, 2015, at 9:54 PM, Lungimsam wrote: > > Do you easily get higher

[RBW] WTB Paul Racer Front

Title says it. Want to buy a Paul racer front brake. The standard long reach model not the shorter reach one. Black or silver or black-silver is fine. thanks, Clayton Scott SF, CA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 57cm Bleriot, Fully Ready for Randonneuring

Not as well I'd bet that the tubing on the Bleriot is stouter, which would affect the liveliness of the frame. Eric N www.CampyOnly.com Twitter @CampyOnlyGuy Blog: CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com > On Oct 11, 2015, at 8:40 AM, John Hawrylak wrote: > > Eric > > Does the

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 57cm Bleriot, Fully Ready for Randonneuring

Eric, thanks for responding to my questions. I don't foresee loading my bike up very much either. I think a rear rack and 2 or 3 good bags will provide all the flexibility that I need. Good luck with your sale, Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

[RBW] KATY TRAIL ARTICLE

Todays travel section had a great article about the Katy Trail in Missouri. There must be some of you who have ridden it. If so, I'd like to hear about your experience, what time of year you went etc.etc.. Here's the article:

Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 57cm Bleriot, Fully Ready for Randonneuring

Not a bit of shimmy from the Singer, and I've had it up around 40mph a few times. Rides like it was on rails. However, I haven't had a shimmy problem with the Bleriot, either. Eric N www.CampyOnly.com Twitter @CampyOnlyGuy Blog: CampyOnlyGuy.blogspot.com > On Oct 11, 2015, at 2:48 PM,

[RBW] Re: New fat 700 tires! 700x42 ultra light

Dear Ron, veering off-topic, but I've gone through thirty-five Parigi-Roubaix, Strada Blanca, and Eroica tires since 2008. None have delaminated. Their older (tubulars) had problems occasionally, as did Clement, FMB, and (rarely) Vittoria tubulars. Best, Will William M. deRosset Fort

[RBW] Re: Compass Knickers

Hi, All, The Compass Knickers are about a plus-two to plus-three length on me when worn below the waist but above the hip, and run true to size. The front zipper pockets are pretty shallow--you'll be using those zippers--and the (right hand only) back zip pocket is large enough for a couple

Re: [RBW] Re: My recent Coffee Outside Escapades.

Hi Jon, Thanks for the kind words. It was a hellacious climb with loaded bikes & heat. At this point I'm accustomed to the high temps. Had it been 20 degrees cooler probably would have made our goal. The Selle Anatomica X saddle is on my 1984 Trek 660 race bike. Though I've only ridden on it for

Re: Re: [RBW] Re: FS: 57cm Bleriot, Fully Ready for Randonneuring

The last time I checked the Bleriot info on Cyclofiend, it was 8-5-8 tubing but Oversized (5 = 0.5mm). OS 8-5-8 is more rigid (less beam deflection) than Std 10-7-10.  Your Herse is Std tubing, so even if it was 9-6-9, it is less rigid than the Bleriot, and should "plane" better. I was interested

Was planning to build this bike up with my brother who then decided stay in Italy and have babies. Way too much crossover with the bikes I have so time to move it off to a welcoming home. Still in the box Soma San Marcos 54cm. Tiburon Blue current model. Takes 650b tires to 38mm. Including

Re: [RBW] Re: My recent Coffee Outside Escapades.

That looks like a great ride though it seems like a completely different world from mine (no mountains here). Really lovely landscapes. Mine was coffee without walls (thanks to a fellow coffeeneur!). Beautiful weather for riding, too.

Re: [RBW] Re: My recent Coffee Outside Escapades.

Dear Eunice, You have mountains their just geologically older. Despite the fact you don't have huge hills to climb you do have torrential rain to add to the mix of adventure. I thank you for your kind words. I think my other coffeeneuring ride will be less challenging. Great images by the way

[RBW] Re: Axle positioning in horizontal dropouts affecting shifting? *Photo included*

Thanks everyone. Lots of good reading there Andy. I think I'll throw a smaller tire on there first followed by a new short cage derailleur. I have a pretty intense suspicion that the upper pulley vs. hanger relationship is critical in this experiment. I'll keep noodling and let you know the

[RBW] Re: KATY TRAIL ARTICLE

I've spent considerable time on the Katy Trail over the years. If you take the time to explore and wander off the beaten path.. IE: visit Columbia Missouri, Jefferson City, now add in the 47 miles to Mt Pleasant .. (note not done yet but plenty of open trail) If you just ride it then
