Am I understanding that you're selling your not-yet-delivered Homer frame for $300 less than you just paid? Maybe I'm reading it wrong. On Thursday, September 14, 2023 at 5:43:06 PM UTC-7 Calvin Yolo wrote: > Anyone potentially interested in my Homer Hilsen frameset? Thinking I'm > going to

It's not very glamorous, but when I wear wide leg pants I just roll it up ridiculously high and take off. With the other stuff going on in the bay area I'm sure my rolled up pant leg is not going to catch anyone's attention. No bike grease yet! On Saturday, September 9, 2023 at 7:13:39 AM

[RBW] Re: Tire advice for my Toyo homer/max tire size

Hi James, My 67cm Toyo Homer wouldn't clear a knobby 44, I don't think. With Dyad rims (18.6mm internal), I've run 43mm Gravel King SKs (not exactly knobby) and that was just fine, although it was admittedly very tight at the chainstays, and if I recall those tires were measuring in the

My Barlow-pass tires blew a sidewall the other day and I'm in the market. I mostly ride pavement but take it on train and across fields on occasion. I have my eyes set on the Rene Herse 700x44 Manastash, the Soma Cazadero, the Rene Herse Hurricane Ridge, or Schwalbe G-One R or Overland.

Anyone potentially interested in my Homer Hilsen frameset? Thinking I'm going to switch it up. $1450 and I'll box it up ship it out straight from Rivendell HQ. Or someone can come by the shop and pick it up. On Tuesday, September 12, 2023 at 7:34:01 PM UTC-7 maxcr wrote: > Apologies to the

[RBW] Re: Aging cyclists (was upright bars and geometry)

Ted, very timely. I took my Saluki out the other day and yesterday my back was screaming. I just turned 72 and my back has been an issue since my 40’s, why I started riding Rivendells. Today I will ride my Hillborne. To make it fair I took the 48mm tires off and put 42’s on like on the Saluki.
