can only manage about 200$ for something, AND is also aesthetically

"My Noodle-to-Albatross conversion ratio is a *6cm longer stem* on the
latter (ie 5cm stem for the Noodles and a 11cm stem for the Albatross on my
Sam) "
That's interesting. I did not change the stem when I first put upright
bars on my Atlantis. The hand position took care of the numbness
Thanks Ray. I ordered some the other day but always good to get another
endorsement.

Cool find.

My guess too. Russ and I have been in communication about the Sam and the
bars and stem - his review is partly what tipped me to commit to one of the
upcoming Sams. We're roughly the same height, though I have a

Great buy.

I'm coming around to the idea that drops can be set up to wildly more
upright than what common knowledge would have you believe so that you can
still get the same assortment of positions but with a more Bosco-like
neutral position. To do this you can run something like this stem
I've lost a few of those. They seem to be quite independent. I've had to
buy the whole assembly from Rivendell. Right now they're out of stock.

Thanks guys for the input. I've looked at bars on Rivendell's site & they
do have a good selection. Just not sure what I want / need. Bars are fun
to experiment with what a PITA to keep messing with stems, cables, and fine
tuning. Keep those suggestions coming.

I also use simple green.
I use diesel fuel for my parts cleaning. I find it works very well as a
solvent and even if you leave it uncovered, the evaporation rate is
extremely slow.
Back to simple green, you can adjust the ratio of cleaner to water if you
buy the concentrate.

Sorry. Shimano M324 pedals are gone.

Oh, now that you point it out I see that Kai.
Thanks.
I didn't know Riv even offered threadless steerers.
Or perhaps he had a custom fork made.
It's a beaut either way.

Thanks Dave, The sea wall to Long Branch does sound nice, having seen a lot
of, maybe too much, ocean in my time...
If I can make the ride, I'll likely give an extra hour from Matawan to
allow myself some meandering on the way.

That is lovely, but it's not a quill stem adapter, it's an actual
threadless steerer with some nice spacers. I use an adapter on a 7/8"
steered Soma of old and it's great, but yeah, not quite as beautiful as
that Gus steerer.
Great Sam!

I've looked everywhere in the parts shed and I can't find the strut
securing/concave half moon piece for my Nitto r10. Anyone have one?? It's
just the larger diameter piece shown
below that I am missing.

I record all of my rides with a Garmin watch and find my average heart rate on an e-bike runs about the same as on a "normal" bike. So I put in the same effort but I get more speed out of the bike.My riding these days all errand-based riding so if I take the e-bike I will get less of a workout
The ride south from sandy hook is cool but not as scenic. There is a huge
ocean wall that would block your beach view for a lot of it but i guess its
sorta neat itself. When you get to long branch, there are a lot of
restaurants (its a college town) and a microbrewery type place (whitehouse

Regarding the Henry Hudson Trail from Matawan, when arriving at 10:11 on
