Re: [RBW] Re: The Rivendell Bike Weight Thread

The way to start is to wheel your bike into the store with an air of owning the place. If someone questions you, you must assume an air of injured and very superior dignity. Note: if you get away with it for a year or so, then, when someone questions you, you can say, "Well! I've been wheeling it

I entirely agree; the best stand for heavy rear loads, even rather assymetrical ones, was a $18 Greenfield dropout mount one. Problem is, this is a Dahon folder, and if you clutter up the left rear dropout area with one of those stands, it interferes with folding. I think I will remove the

I'm trying to distinguish frame flex from faster riding. For me, I'm not sure that a Roadeo and Roadini built to the same weight would ride any faster. Of course, I feel a dramatic difference when I go from my 35 lb racked and bagged up Hilsen to my 22 lb Roadeo, but I doubt that much of that is

I'd guess that the principal reasons for the difference are cost and a more general all-rounder use for the Roadini; the Roadeo is a high-end road bike aimed at the club rider as an alternative to good if not top quality carbon fiber frames -- heck, as an alternative to 15K carbon fiber frames, if

Roadini specs from RBW: Roadini: “0.9 x 0.7 TT and the length is cut from the butt (0.9) end. So you get the 0.9 up at the front, where top tubes buckle. The 0.7 is on the thick side for a belly (though it's the same as old Columbus SP, which was 1.0 x 0.7 x 1.0--as a historical reference).

Admissable? Yes. Is it usable or practical without the booze? No On Thursday, August 7, 2014 2:07:58 AM UTC-7, Tom Harrop wrote: Bill, your complete camping set up weighs significantly less than my unladen, unsackvilled Bomba. Good effort, but is it admissible without the booze...? --

1. Saluki 2. 60cm 3. 28 lbs, 42 lbs at full commuting load 1. XO-3 (1993, 26), single speed 2. 59cm 3. 27 lbs. I would have figured the XO to be a couple lbs lighter but I have some junky Kenda 1.95 tires and a B67 saddle that probably account for a pound or two of weight delta just there. I

58cm Sam Hillborne: 41 lb including pump and tool bag which are always on the bike; normally I ride with 5.9 lb. of locks and some water as well, so call it 48 lb. Then add my laptop bag with everyday carrying-around stuff, so call it 55 lb. for a regular commute. Then stuff the same bag with

Interesting exercise. I weighed mine w bags, pumps, repair/patch kits, lights, but with no water bottles, in other words as they would be ridden: 1) Riv Road Custom, 61.5cm, standard build w brifters, Carradice saddlebag, 28mm tires, 26 lbs. 2) Quickbeam, 60cm, with Nitto M12 front rack w Wald

When I had my frame powder coated, I called Riv up for frame decals, but the only ones they could provide are the fragile decals that need a clear coat, which I didn't want to do. I found an online company that makes custom frame decals that you can design yourself. I have forgotten the name

Clayton, thanks for that info. Yeah, I've heard of that decal company, and similarly don't recall its name. Yours definitely are a different font than the regular Atlantis font. They look good though. On Wednesday, August 6, 2014 12:14:26 PM UTC-7, Clayton wrote: When I had my frame

IIRC, my errand custom fixie is ~23 lb without fenders but with rack, dyno lights, cages. The gofast is 17 3/4 lb. The Fargo IIRC is ~30 lb: it may be 28 or it may be 31, I forget. Again, all ready to ride with all bolt on parts except fenders but no bags or bottles. And my bars are 3 cm below

Ha, you guys are a bunch of weight weenies! :) There are no weenier weight weenies than the Camping weight weenies, so I set up a minimalist S24O kit. I took my 27 lb double speed (with HA Panniers) and added: Hammock + sleeping bag + VBL + stuffable pillow stove + pot + utensils +
