Nice pics Alex. Cool to see some of us riding! Amazing you found my vaporized bolt! Definitely interested in group S24Os. Great idea. Rob in Seattle On Oct 10, 2010, at 9:44 PM, amoll68 wrote: Much thanks go out to Rob Harrison for setting this up! How could we resist the 10:10 on

Great ride indeed, thanks for having me along. Maybe next year I'll be more Rivish than hat, bag and misc. supplies. :) I'm pretty sure our fender to brifter ratio was the highest of any ride I've ever been on. On Oct 11, 12:22 am, Rob Harrison robha...@gmail.com wrote: Nice pics Alex. Cool to

Does anyone have more information on how that was fitted? I'm mulling over adding that crankset to my next build but I'm unsure which FD to use On Oct 10, 10:48 pm, Michael_S mikeybi...@rocketmail.com wrote: some beautiful bikes in those pictures! That was the 1st I've seen the new VO crankset

Rob is using the same Shimano triple derailleur (don't remember which model) that was originally on the bike - says it works great. He does have to trim the front derailleur more often than I do with my vintage Simplex with wider cage. Alex On Oct 11, 1:56 pm, Steve Palincsar palin...@his.com

It was a lot of fun to meet everyone in person, and to ride with a fully fendered bunch. Thanks to Rob for putting it all together. Here are a couple of jangly IPhone videos of the go-round: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pguillam/5069319761/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/pguillam/5069316381/

Sorry I missed it. Sounds like a great group. Maybe next time I can make the trek across the pass to join in. Stayed on the dry-side this weekend (we even had a bit of rain too). Keely On Oct 10, 4:52 pm, Brian Hanson stone...@gmail.com wrote: At exactly (or almost nearly) 10:10am on

Indeed. Great ride! I was struck by the civility of this group--just as Cyclotourist was saying about the SoCal folks, these Rivendell riders (and friends) are a wonderful bunch of people. The rain was not so bad once we got onto Mercer Island, quite pleasant in fact. Definitely looking forward

Much thanks go out to Rob Harrison for setting this up! How could we resist the 10:10 on 10/10/10 thing? I was determined to go, no matter the weather. I think we all figured, and hoped, that we'd be similarly minded folks. We were, and it was good fun. That was a nice sized group, too. Brian and
