[RBW] WTB Albatross or Billie

Hiya all. I'm assembling parts to go upright on my Sam Hillborne. Currently on 48 noodles and have always craved the lax look of folks riding upright with beautiful sweeping bars. Before buying new, thought I'd ask here if anyone has them preowned and sitting around. Albatross would be my #1,

Luke, Spectacular views looking out across the bay over to San Francisco. A lookout place that I have never been to in all the years that I lived in the Bay Area; mostly South Bay Area. What trail is this ? Thank-you for sharing. Kim Hetzel Yelm, WA. On Sunday, January 1, 2023 at 7:13:00

Re: [RBW] Re: SKS fender install on a Clem

SKS doesn't provide recessed nuts, correct. Sure you can buy a recessed nut, but the path of least resistance is going to the hardware store for the parts as Hoch suggested. AliExpress shipping from China takes forever. Recessed nuts nuts work great for brakes as it helps keep from rotating,

Re: [RBW] Re: SKS fender install on a Clem

Nopers, the flat washer will butt up against that lip at the back of the fork easy peasy. The only reason it's recessed is the fork crown was designed to be used on caliper brake bikes, too, which uses the recess. You have the parts you need, no worries. On Sunday, January 1, 2023 at 3:00:39

[RBW] Some really nice Rivendell wool…

…for the smaller among us. I love the color, would have bought the jersey if its fit favored my body. Dave, who has no connection whatsoever with the seller https://www.ebay.com/itm/155338119505?mkcid=16=1=711-127632-2357-0=xVErmBxvSyK=2349624=8RYRb3KuTHC=_ver=artemis=COPY -- You received this

[RBW] Re: SKS fender install on a Clem

You don’t need a recessed nut. Just go down to your local hardware store and get a bolt long enough with a nylock nut. And a couple of washers. Should cost you less than $5. I’d get stainless as well. On Sunday, January 1, 2023 at 2:48:34 PM UTC-7 Michael Morrissey wrote: > Hi, > > You

[RBW] Re: SKS fender install on a Clem

Hi, You probably need one bolt there - I think an m6 x 25mm would work. Something like this: https://www.perennialcycle.com/fork-crown-bolt-kit-fender-light-mounting.html You can probably find the bolt at any decent hardware store. Good luck. M On Sunday, January 1, 2023 at 12:06:02 PM UTC-5

My son (who's 20 and rides my old Salsa Casseroll) and I were out for about 20 mile ride on the D on Friday, from Slatington north to the Dunkin's in Lehighton . Great weather conditions, around 50, no wind. Trail conditions weren't so good, with many sections of the hard packed gravel were

Mine was on 12/30 and described in another thread: ~12 m rt extension of a 1.8 m rt trip to the nearest Sprout's. Skipped 12/31, but rode 13 miles rt to church and back this morning, and found that the brisk if short (~6.5m) outbound ride at ~39*F was an excellent specific for mild overindulgence

Dave, Yes, winter cycling is as pleasing as autumn cycling. Your Gunnar seems to be a perfect machine to ride on dirt road! Nick, That's an unbelievably beautiful image! I can almost feel crisp air and dazzling sunlight. I believe that it was very quiet out there? Randy, Glad that you were
