Re: [RBW] Plush old 531 steel frames (was being precious)

I, too had a mid-70's Bob Jackson and a late-70' Paramount built with 531 tubing. Both were sold due to economic circumstances not long after. But I recall that the Paramount of that era was rather crudely constructed with a poorly applied paint job, some mediocre components, and wheels that

Re: [RBW] 26.8 seatposts with generous setback

Garth, I'm currently riding a Clem Smith Jr L bicycle with a Nitto Techomic stem. I don't feel the need to have or replace it with a shorter stem. I'm very comfortable in my cockpit. Kim Hetzel Yelm, WA. On Thu, Jun 22, 2023, 12:01 PM Garth wrote: > > I have a hunch that many people

Re: [RBW] Plush old 531 steel frames (was being precious)

Oooh, I have some of those charts too. I think the 531 magic was also in my 1970s era Bob Jackson, and less so in a 1974 Paramount and late 70s Vent Noir. The BJ did not have a model marquis transfer on the frame other than multiple BJ labels, but, no fender eyelets on the Campy dropouts, a

John — that looks great! I am curious about your bag support. I think I have that same one but it never seemed to fit. Even on yours, it comes so close to the wheel. I think that’s why it landed in my to be sold bin. Mine did not come with the additional supports in the rear. Do you have a link

Re: [RBW] 26.8 seatposts with generous setback

I have a hunch that many people considering a very long setback post are more likely desiring more forward reach, for which changing the stem properly accomplishes. Moving your saddle further back than your optimal position over the bottom bracket for the sake of more forward reach is "going

Same thing happens here in the Chicagoland area and most of the bikes end up at a flea market in a near suburb called Alsip. The really unfortunate thing about events like this is that the cops seem to be either reluctant or just plain unwilling to do anything about it. And that applies both

Re: [RBW] 26.8 seatposts with generous setback

Thanks Laing and Johnny, this confirms my hunch that perhaps moving the saddle forward and using a longer stem might be the answer for me. I'll try that and report back. Max On Thursday, June 22, 2023 at 12:29:52 PM UTC-4 Johnny Alien wrote: > Max, I will note this about the Gallop. I thought

With a 80.5 cm long saddle height, a 71.5 deg ST angle will put the top of the saddle inline with the seat tube 0.67 cm (0.26") behind the center of the top of a 72 deg ST angle seat tube. And 0.22 cm (0.09") lower. Laing On Thursday, June 22, 2023 at 10:44:15 AM UTC-4 maxcr wrote: > Thanks

They are sold out of wheels, but just having had them tells me that the hub is geared for 650b/700c, rather than some utility or folding bike, or a trike. They had the hubs, so I ordered one and will build a wheel. I would have jumped at a finished wheel for only $40 more, though. Worth it to
